A Big Kamchatka Quake
Is Running just a bit Late!
Russian Kamchatka Shaking,
Maybe Tsunami will be Making!
In the Tribulation Period Quaking,
Tsunamis will world seas be Raking,
As believers their Lord Will be Taking,
Hope Your Salvation You Aren’t Faking!

Matthew 7:21-23 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name
? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
TSUNAMI – ONE OF THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Today’s earthquake off the coast of eastern Russia is unlikely to create a significant tsunami unless another should occur higher in the earth’s crust and produce a vertical rather than horizontal fault slippage. But I assure you that in the approaching Tribulation Period the Pacific will be raked for some three and one years with tsunami, many of them will individually seem to be the “mother of all tsunamis.”
The tsunami producing earthquakes of the last few years in the pacific are nothing compared to those I wrote about in the mid-seventies when I wrote my first book, “Tectonic Chaos.” The events of massive tectonic destruction, which I predicted would be occurring across the surface of the earth during the tribulation period, are poised on the immediate horizon of world events to begin in conjunction with the Islamic attack against Israel, which I believe likely to begin at some point in time twixt 2010 and 2015. I cannot predict the exact time it will suddenly begin, but I know it cannot be a distant event in the “far off sweet forever, far beyond the shinning river.”
I have contended for more than thirty four years that God will move the world’s massive tectonic plate structure approximately one to two feet during the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period. It is this destroying with the earth that will create the horrifying scenes described in Isaiah 29:6 and Luke 21:25.
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, Isaiah 29:6.
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, Luke 21:25.
In Luke 21:25 the word translated wave is saiou, which means a particular type of wave. It means a wave that breaks on the shoreline, a wave of the surf. The nations of the world will be in great perplexity because of the roaring sound of the sea and surf. It is this phenomenon of sea and surf that will destroy one-third of the world’s shipping.
Unbelievably violent earth¬quake and volcanic activity will be occurring along thousands of miles of tectonic boundaries on the ocean and sea floors during the last half of the Tribulation Period. If I am correct about the earthquake and volcanic activity along these cracks, then I am positive that what I am about to describe will definitely occur.
There are many types of waves that exist on the ocean sur¬face. The most common being those induced by the winds and tides of the earth. But the most horrifying of all waves that pound the shorelines of the world is not produced by wind or tide; it is the unbelievable tsunami produced by earthquake and volcanic eruption on the seafloor.
The tsunami is not a “tidal wave. Tsunamis are caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanoes and have killed millions of people down through the ages. Tsunami is the Japanese word for “storm wave.” The Alaska earthquake of 1964 produced the tsunami wave pattern shown in figure 6. As you can observe from the figure, it only took the tsunami four hours to move from the epicenter to Hawaii. Tsunami travel as fast as some jet aircraft. Tsunami can now be predicted so that appalling death tolls of yesteryear can be avoided. A network of seismic warning stations now functions across the Pacific Ocean to give early
warning of an approaching tsunami.
A tsunami is generated when an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption causes a sudden downward movement of an earth block. The downward displacement of water above the block produces not a surface wave, but rather a wave which moves horizontally outward through the water from the bottom to the top. Tsunami cross the ocean as long low waves which seagoing vessels may not even notice. But as the tsunami approaches the shoreline the energy of the wave is con¬fined in shallower and shallower water. Tsunami have been known to rise to heights in excess of two hundred fifty feet. When a tsunami crashes against a coastline it destroys everything in its path, often up to half a mile inland.
Shipping on the open sea is virtually unaffected by a tsunami, but woe unto the ship that is caught in port. There is not a ship built which can withstand the force of a full blown tsunami as it roars into port. In one day the old city of Lisbon and all the ships in port were destroyed by a wall of water that washed half a mile inland. During the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period most of the coastal cities of the world and the ships in port will be completely destroyed by tsunami after tsunami. This is what will produce much of the distress and perplexity among the nations of the world. Now, how does all this fit in with Revelation 8:9 regarding John’s statement: “and the third part of the ships were destroyed?”
At any given time approximately two-thirds of the world’s shipping is “under way” on the open sea, and one-third is in port or dry dock. The two-thirds on the open sea will be spared, and the one-third in port will be destroyed by tsunami during the sounding of the second trumpet.
The following Scriptures leave little doubt that God has con¬trol of the sea and the destructive forces of its waves. Those who “do business in great waters” will lose one-third of their busi¬ness on the sounding of the second trump.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them, Psalm 89:9.
But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name, Isaiah 51:15.
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof, Psalm 107:23-25.
The earth is God’s creation and all the things thereof. God does not need man’s weaponry or technology to fulfill His prophecies. God has already made all the elements necessary to destroy man, and He has molded them into forms, shapes, com¬pounds and processes capable of fulfilling His revelation of end-time events.
I know that a great war will occur. Many men will die in that war. Bullets and other weaponry will kill many of them; but that will be only a few compared to the earthquake, fire and brimstone toll exacted by the force of Almighty God upon sinful mankind. For too long biblical expositors have been concentrating on a single tree (man’s weaponry and technology) as the fulfillment of Revelation prophecies. In so doing, they have overlooked the forest of God’s creation, the earth’s natural destructive forces.
Man will not destroy himself in a nuclear holocaust of his own making.
If you desire to be frightened by such a possibili¬ty, be my guest and join the crowd.
I do not fear the armies with thermonuclear arsenals. May I remind you whom you should fear with this closing passage from Luke 12:4,5
“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”
PACIFIC IS BIG TSUNAMI PRODUCER
Some earthquakes in Kamchatka zone move tsunami all the way to New Zealand. The greatest earthquake ever recorded in the Kamchatka zone was estimated to be 9.3 in 1917, and it produced monster tsunamis across both the North and South Pacific Oceans.

Strong earthquake strikes off Russia’s east coast
Last Updated: Thursday, January 15, 2009 | 1:54 PM ET

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook the Kuril Islands
off Russia’s east coast Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey says.
The epicentre was located about 35 kilometres beneath the ocean floor, about 428 km south of the town of Severo-Kurilsk in the Kuril Islands.
There was no immediate tsunami warning from the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The chain of sparsely populated islands stretches north from Japan.
Russia and Japan are locked in a territorial dispute over the islands, which have been controlled by Russia for decades.
The dispute has kept the two countries from signing a formal treaty ending hostilities after the Second World War.
The islands are surrounded by rich fishing waters and are believed to have promising offshore oil and natural gas reserves, as well as gold and silver deposits.

Far-field tsunami
Far-field tsunami are often triggered from sites along the Pacific Ocean’s ‘Ring of Fire’ where tectonic plates slide against and under one another (subduction), often causing earthquakes.
Along this ‘Ring of Fire’ there are four main sources for large earthquakes that have affected the New Zealand coastline in the past:
Alaska – Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
South America – the subduction zone west of South America between Ecuador and Chile.
Tonga-Kermadec – the Tonga-Kermadec Trench.
Kamchatca-Kuril – in the northwest Pacific Ocean from Japan to East Kamchatka.

Kamchatka: Edge of the Plate

New PASSCAL data have been acquired along the extent of the Kamchatka Peninsula to examine the interaction of the Pacific Plate and the mantle in the corner junction of the Aleutian and Kamchatka trenches. The project, called the Side Edge of Kamchatka Slab, is a collaborative effort between researchers at Yale University and the Russian Academy of Sciences Institutes in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski, in particular the Institute of Volcanology (Alexei Ozerov) and KOMSP (Evgenii Gordeev). In Russia, Kamchatka is known as the caboose,
the last car on the train. It is practically the farthest one can get from Moscow, the center of cultural life in Russia. Being nine time zones away from the financial centers creates a sense of isolation and liberation. For Russians, Kamchatka is a land of dreams and possibilities, much as Alaska is the last frontier for Americans. This gives one the sense that being in Kamchatka is like being on the edge of the world. But the feeling has more significance than the mere waywardness of the place. The majestic volcanoes, the continuous seismicity and the incredible geology are omnipresent reminders that this is a special place.
The relentless subduction of the Pacific plate plunges beneath Kamchatka, 70mm per year. Kamchatka is home to the most magnificent volcanoes in the Pacific Rim (28 active volcanoes) and neighbor to the Bering strike-slip fault, marking the western end of the Aleutian-Komandorsky Islands. This land mass provides an exceptional platform for investigating the interactions of volcanism, tectonics, and mantle dynamics.
2005 PREDICTION BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Powerful Earthquake Could Strike Kamchatka
Augusr 17, 2005
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, August 17 (RIA Novosti, Oksana Guseva) – The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry is deploying additional units and equipment as a preventive measure against a powerful earthquake expected on Kamchatka, a peninsula in the northeast of Russia, a senior ministry official said Wednesday.
Lieutenant General Viktor Kapkanshchikov, head of the ministry’s regional center, said 30 rescue workers had been temporarily transferred here until December during the heightened earthquake alert, in the wake of seismologists’ warning that a magnitude 7.2 quake could rock the region between now and December.
According to the official, additional equipment, instruments and medical supplies will be delivered at the end of August and a mobile hospital from the Rescue Center will be airlifted in early September.
Regional ministry branches are ready to deal with a possible emergency, Kapkanshchikov said. The employees are taking preventive measures to ensure fewer losses and less damage if an earthquake is to strike the region.
Exercises to check the readiness of all Emergency Situations Ministry units are scheduled for September 7-9 on Kamchatka and will be supervised by minister Sergei Shoigu.
A report from the International Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics predicted the region, including Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands, has a 70% chance of being hit by a quake until December 2005.
