Earthquakes in Diverse Places
Yes, I got that report on another great earthquake in Indonesia.
Thousands of people were dead, while survivors were crying in fear and sadness.
Accordingly, I tried to remember passages related to an earthquake or earthquakes in the Holy Scripture or the Bible of King James version.

When the 9/11 Attacks happened, I remembered the following part:
“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”
“And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
When the War on Terror began, I remembered the following part:
“And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.”
Now as the earthquake has occurred:
“And there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.”

But, more alarming is the following as we have heard of a pagan, popular work such as the one related to Leonardo da Vinci:
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.”
Perhaps, we must be further prepared for the End of the World:
“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.”
“And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.”

However, we are to be saved:
“And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.”
“And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”
Victory will be indeed complete again.

The border of two continental plates runs from Java to Kashmir passing the south of Himalaya Mountains.
It covers Islamic regions and India.
People living in those areas must know a need of faith more than those in the U.K. and the Netherlands, for example.

Once there was a big mass of land that connected most of islands of Indonesia altogether. It went under the sea by 10,000 years ago due to rise in sea level.
There are many things Japanese should worry about concerning Indonesia.
However, believers even living in the uttermost part of the earth will be surely saved.
