Part 1 – Now
Do consider It!
Who made You?
Who made Nature?
Who made the Earth?
Who controls the Earth?
Who controls the Future?
Who knows man’s Future?
Earthquakes in Divers Places
Fire in heavens from Volcanoes
Violent acts of nature Everywhere
Famine increasing with the Population
Pestilence (Infectious Disorders) Climbing
Is the coming of Jesus working on your Mind?
Can’t you see God is using His earth and Heavens,
The very things He made, owns, operates and Controls,
In order to get your attention before His Son’s 2nd Advent?
Whatever you intend to do about, with, or for the Lord – Do Now!

I am hoping the 7.8 plus earthquake in China last night will lead this generation to realize it is the last one in the Age of the Gentiles. I always find myself wishing mankind would read Psalm Two, and realize God, who man has to tried to explain away since the Garden of Eden, is about to use his creation to fulfill the prophecy found therein. If you failed to kiss the Son in the past, I strongly urge you now to do what its last verse recommends.
Psalm 2:12 – Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
The first estimates of deaths I heard were 3,000 to 5,000, but I am sure, when the final count is in, it is likely to exceed 10,000.
Romans 8:14-22 – For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
[16] 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.
“FOR WE KNOW THAT THE WHOLE CREATION GROANETH IN PAIN TOGETHER UNTIL NOW.”
Luke 21:11 – And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
THUNDER, EARTHQUAKE, GREAT NOISE, STORM & TEMPEST, AND THE FLAME OF DEVOURING FIRE – 2004 TO 2008
Think about the events on, under, and above the earth and heavens God created, which have occurred from December 2004 to May 2008.
Think about the many great noises associated with earthquakes rumbling on the earth’s fault lines, the great noises associated with the storm and the tempest of typhoons, cyclones, tornadoes, and tsunami, and then think about the noise of a thundering volcano throwing its flame of devouring fire into the heavens and one the earth. And then ask yourself – Have there been an awful lot of these natural events occurring since 2004? As you do, ask yourself – Did God make the earth, does he control it, and will He use it to fulfill his prophecies? My answer to these questions for more than thirty years has been – YES – And my guess is that between 2010 and 2015 mankind will find out if my YES was correct!
The great earthquake and tsunami of December 2004 began a period of time of natural phenomena outbreaks that, when considered as a whole, have made a remarkable parallel to the natural phenomena which God controls, which he warns of in last days as indicators the Second Advent of his Son is near. The combination of this chain of natural events has been quite noticeable since 2004 up to the present time.
The Deadliest Tsunami in Modern Times – December 2004
Begin Excerpt from National Geographic Magazine
The earthquake that generated the great Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 is estimated to have released the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Giant forces that had been building up deep in the Earth for hundreds of years were released suddenly on December 26, shaking the ground violently and unleashing a series of killer waves that sped across the Indian Ocean at the speed of a jet airliner.
By the end of the day more than 150,000 people were dead or missing and millions more were homeless in 11 countries, making it perhaps the most destructive tsunami in history.
The epicenter of the 9.0 magnitude quake was under the Indian Ocean near the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, according to the USGS, which monitors earthquakes worldwide. The violent movement of sections of the Earth’s crust, known as tectonic plates, displaced an enormous amount of water, sending powerful shock waves in every direction.
The earthquake was the result of the sliding of the portion of the Earth’s crust known as the India plate under the section called the Burma plate. The process has been going on for millennia, one plate pushing against the other until something has to give.
The result on December 26 was a rupture the USGS estimates was more than 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) long, displacing the seafloor above the rupture by perhaps 10 yards (about 10 meters) horizontally and several yards vertically. That doesn’t sound like much, but the trillions of tons of rock that were moved along hundreds of miles caused the planet to shudder with the largest magnitude earthquake in 40 years.
Above the disturbed seafloor the great volume of the ocean was displaced along the line of the rupture, creating one of nature’s most deadly phenomena: a tsunami. Within hours killer waves radiating from the earthquake zone slammed into the coastline of 11 Indian Ocean countries, snatching people out to sea, drowning others in their homes or on beaches, and demolishing property
from Africa to Thailand.
Tsunamis have been relatively rare in the Indian Ocean, at least in human memory. They are most prevalent in the Pacific. But every ocean has generated the scourges. Many countries are at risk.
The Indian Ocean tsunami traveled as much as 3,000 miles (nearly 5,000 kilometers) to Africa, arriving with sufficient force to kill people and destroy property.

ina says up to 5,000 killed in earthquake

Monday, 12 May 2008
A powerful earthquake in southwest China killed an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people today and buried 900 teenagers in a collapsed school as the tremor caused buildings to fall and left whole areas cut off, Xinhua news agency said.
As many as 10,000 in Sichuan’s Beichuan county were feared injured, the report said.
The death toll was expected to rise as authorities and rescue teams make contact with the worst-hit areas of Sichuan province, where roads and phone lines have been cut off since the 7.8 magnitude quake struck.
The 900 students were buried in the rubble of a collapsed three-storey school building in the Sichuan city of Dujiangyan.
Rescuers were trying to retrieve survivors but details were still sketchy.
The casualties occurred in the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan as well as Chongqing, a municipality of 30 million people that neighbors Sichuan, state media said.
The quake’s epicentre was in the nearby Sichuan county of Wenchuan and its force caused buildings to sway across China and as far away as the Thai capital Bangkok.
Four more children died in a separate school collapse in Lirang township of Chongqing.
Another 10 died and 14 were seriously injured in the north-western province of Gansu, Xinhua news agency’s online edition said.
Buildings toppled in at least six counties near the epicentre, Xinhua said. Mountainous Wenchuan has a population of about 100,000 people.
In Beijing and Shanghai, office workers poured into the streets as the tremor hit.
In the capital, which will host the summer Olympics in August, there was no visible damage and the showpiece Bird’s Nest stadium was unscathed, the project’s engineer told Xinhua.
But in Sichuan, phone lines in Wenchuan were completely cut and a website for the region’s Aba prefecture said the quake had cut several major highways in the region and communications were down in 11 counties.
Premier Wen Jiabao had rushed to the area and President Hu Jintao ordered an “all-out” rescue effort, Xinhua reported.
Thousands of army troops and paramilitary People’s Armed Police carrying medical supplies were also headed to the region, state television said.
State television showed footage of residents in the Sichuan capital Chengdu, w here the airport and railway station were closed, crowded in the streets looking relatively unscathed but for one woman shown bleeding from
her head.
Foreign tourists in white bathrobes milled in a Chengdu street, apparently having fled their hotel. In some parts of the city, water and electricity were cut off, state radio said.
“The air-conditioning unit fell off the wall.
Vases are all broken,” a resident in Sichuan’s Mianyang told Reuters.
“The sick in hospital have been moved outside to open fields. There is no electricity and no mobile phone reception. People are afraid of aftershocks.”
The US Geological Survey said on its website that the main quake struck at 0628 GMT at a depth of 6 miles.
An employee at the local newspaper in Mianyang said there had been several earthquakes. USGS said there had been numerous aftershocks.
Xinhua said there was no immediate impact to the Three Gorges Dam project, the weight of whose massive reservoir, hundreds of miles from Chengdu, experts have said could increase the risk of tremors.
A source at the biggest refinery in western China, Lanzhou, said the plant also appeared unaffected by the quake.
