One might even vaguely suspect the earth, as God
s creation, was beginning to accelerate its groaning, in anxiety for the appearance of God’s children, the ultimate created creature of God, in glorified bodies.
Romans 8:16-23 –The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
[18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, [21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
[22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Indonesia issues tsunami alert
February 14, 2008 – 7:28AM
Indonesia issued a tsunami alert today after a strong earthquake rocked the east of the country.
The country’s geophysics agency said an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 struck 275 kilometres southwest of the M aluku isl
and chain at a depth of 10 kilometres.
It said it had “the potential to cause a tsunami”.
The US geological survey put the initial magnitude of the quake at 5.9.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre and Japan’s Meteorological Agency did not immediately issue their own tsunami warnings.
It was not immediately clear whether the warning had reached villages possibly in danger in the remote region in the far east of Indonesia.
Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago with a population of 235 million people, is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the “Ring of Fire”, an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
A magnitude-9 quake off Sumatra’s coast in 2004 triggered a tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in a dozen countries, most of them in Indonesia.

Quake shakes Lebanon
From correspondents in Beirut
February 12, 2008
A MODERATE earthquake shook southern Lebanon overnight causing no damage but sending many panicked residents into the streets in the coastal town of Tyre, officials said.
The tremor struck at 2.20am local time and measured 4.0 on the open-ended Richter scale, Moueen Hamze, head of Lebanon’s National Centre for Scientific Research, told AFP.
“The epicenter of the quake was six kilometres east of Tyre,” Mr Hamze said, adding that no damage was reported.
The last earthquake of such magnitude to shake the country took place in 2001 with its epicenter in the Bekaa region of eastern Lebanon and was also felt in Beirut.
The Geophysical Institute of Israel measured the tremor at 4.1 and said it was also felt in northern Israel, across the border from Lebanon.
No casualties or damage were reported in the Jewish state.
Seismology experts in Israel warn of a major earthquake within years because of a major faultline in the region.

The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is preparing to assist local authorities help people in the far east of the impoverished country after a major earthquake struck the region this morning.
Alan Doss, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative to the DRC and the chief of the mission, known as MONUC, has immediately asked the mission and other UN agencies operating in the region “to extend all necessary assistance” to authorities and the affected local population, according to a statement issued in Kinshasa,
the capital.
The mission said the initial assessments indicated that the earthquake has caused “a number of deaths and injured” but that an exact toll is yet to be determined. Build ings have been damaged
in the DRC and in neighbouring Rwanda and Burundi.
A daily worker at the MONUC office in Bukavu, the provincial capital of South Kivu in the eastern DRC, has been reported killed, but so far no other UN civilian or military personnel is known to have died.
Media reports say a second serious quake struck several hours later in Rwanda, causing further death and destruction.
Mr. Doss offered his condolences to the populations of all the areas in Africa’s Great Lakes region who have been affected by the earthquake.
MONUC said the epicentre of this morning’s quake, which registered 6.0 on the Richter scale, was located in Kabaré, about 20 kilometres north of Bukavu. It struck about 9:35 local time.
