EARTHQUAKES

Earthquakes

Recent earthquake in far east, causing deadly tsunami, killing 1000's.   Throughout Scripture we see the power of the earthquake used.   And God uses the earthquake as a force for judgement upon the nations.  'This creation groaneth until this day.'  

the pattern of when these earthquakes are, or seem, to me in a pattern of when they happen.  I do believe they are consistent. 

2000 - 2018 (Oct.)

289 - Total earthquakes over 7.0

20 - of these were 8.0;

1 - of these was 9.0;

Thus the average of earthquakes over 7.0 is 16 per year.  
The average of 8.0 earthquakes is 1 per year.

Therefore in 2015 through most of 2017  there had not been any 8.0 or greater.   Revealing to us that we were due for an 8.0.  

Now the thing about earthquakes is the place in which they hit.  We are talking about severity of 7.0 or greater.   but if a 9.0 hits in an unihabited area, there is not much of an issue.   but let that same earthquake hit in a populated area, now there is greater loss of life.  

Three severe earthquakes have caused deadly tsunamis.
