Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” Matthew 24:4-7

The death toll is now estimated at 12,000, and is likely to rise, from the earthquake that struck China. This on top of the cyclone that hit Burma/Myanmar and killed between 100,000 and 200,000. That is between 1 and 2 out of every 60,000 people in the world that died within the last week due to these two natural disasters. You can see the statistics from the last four years in my post yesterday. These events are getting closer together and more violent each time. What kind of hurricane season do we have ahead of ourselves this year? How many big earthquakes are going to hit this year?
