EARTHQUAKES

   From 1990 to 1999, there were 21,000 earthquakes worldwide resulting in 22,000 deaths.
   From 2000 to 2012, there were 1.3 million earthquakes worldwide resulting in 800,000 deaths.
   From 2000 to 2012, there have been 49,352 earthquakes in the United States.  So far, not one death in the United States has been attributed to earthquakes; yet the United States had more than twice as many earthquakes than the whole world had from 1999 to 1999.
   Mexico, California and Alaska experience approximately 800 earthquakes every week.
   Not only do earthquakes produce death and destruction, the lives of people are turned upside down as hundreds of thousands of people lose their homes, their jobs, and all of their possessions; and because of damage to fresh water systems, germs and bacteria grow at alarming rates along with the manifestation of diseases.
   Jesus said, For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:  and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places. (Matthew 24:7)
   In the last prophetic book of the Bible, we are told of a great earthquake that will come upon the earth, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. (Revelation 16:17)  This earthquake will destroy Rome and the amount of energy that will be released will also destroy other European cities.
