For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.



Exactly.

The Apostles would have to wait years for the news of a single(elsewhere) global earthquake(sign).

But not now.:nod

I'm just waiting for the 4 lap dogs to attack me for no reason. Then I'll believe.

Chile, May 22, 1960. Measured 9.5 on the Richter scale.

Sean, you are Seismologist?

OK, explain the above record holding earthquake?

Also explain what a 11.0 on the Richter scale would do.

No, but it had to increase for many of the future prophecies to be able to be fulfilled.

......And it was instantly share throughout the world.

You see, "earthquakes in divers places" needs the information age to be readily understood as a sign to a specific generation.

It would have been useless to the Apostles 2000 years ago, by the time the info got to them, if ever.:nod

Well, that's not true. Because information traveled quickly. But I understand that your information concerning history comes from watching the Flintstones. But if you took the time to put down your crayons and Jim Jones coloring books. You would find that information traveled quickly through the Roman world. But that isn't what I asked you. I asked you to explain the Chiliean 1960 earthquake. It is the largest in recorded history. Why haven't it increase? Do you understand we have earthquakes everyday? Great, and some which barely register? If these were to increase? Why haven't they?

Re: 8.4 magnitude quake off the Mexican coast
 
Fact is, if an earthquake happened in different areas of the world 2000 years ago, there was no way to record it and no news system to distribute it as an earthquake. There was no newspaper in Rome either.

The only way to know if there are earthquakes around the globe is with modern technology.

Face it DB, it was a future sign to all that would hear the gospel, not just for the Apostles.

Sean 09-10-2017 08:15 AM

So, DB resorts to silly posts instead.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;


I have instant access to your hurricane and the stress involved in it, from about 2000 miles away.

2000 years ago, it may have took a lifetime to hear about your hurricane today.

By then, it would have lost it's newsworthiness.

Daniel 12:4King James Version (KJV)

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.


Yes, knowledge must be increasing to allow folks to see the signs together and prep the way for the mark.

Sean 09-10-2017 08:29 AM

Re: 8.4 magnitude quake off the Mexican coast
 
Daniel 12:4 is in itself, a sign of the end.(increase in human knowledge at an amazing pace in the last couple of generations).

Really?

Becuase you have a cell phone?

We can't even figure out how the Romans made cement.

More like knowledge has been lost.

But the knowledge is about Messiah.

We already have that.

Face it Sean, you haven't a clue about anything you argue about. Jesus wasn't talking about earthquake detection. But the earthquake after the fact as the indicator. You still refuse to answer my question per usual. :)

We cant even figure out how they built the pyramids.

That should make that generation the smartest generation.


LOL

Sean 09-10-2017 08:47 AM

Re: 8.4 magnitude quake off the Mexican coast
 
What is more technical, the Romans' cement or the pyramids?

Sean 09-10-2017 08:49 AM

Maybe the end was 3000 years ago?



Daniel 12:4King James Version (KJV)

On horses or mass transit?

How do you know?

He said they were in "divers"(various) places.

This specifies particular earthquake regions around the globe.:nod

There is no secondary meaning.

It looks like you want to ignore this specificity and just show the aftermath.

Kinda like calling Ft. Hood "work place violence".:nod

Preaching the message of Messiah.

You weren't taught about Marathon in High School?

No, you are ignoring the literal meaning. Jesus wasn't talking about Richter scale readings. He was speaking about earthquakes that those He was speaking to would witness.

Sean 09-10-2017 10:02 AM

Re: 8.4 magnitude quake off the Mexican coast
 
Right, He was speaking to all future, living members of the church.

This is why the gospel was written.
