Stage Three of Earth’s Groanings Could Begin Between 2008 and 2012!

The current rumbling of Israeli troops around and in the Gaza Strip, has caused me to think about the future rumbling of the earth itself, particularly during the last three and one half years of the tribulation period prior to Armageddon. I believe this explosion of world wide earthquakes could begin suddenly at some point in time between 2008 and 2012, but I confess this is a guesstimate on my part.
It is quite possible that the initial time of the explosion of the San Andres Fault, described by Jeremy Lovell in the Reuters article, which follows, could occur at some point in time between 2008 and 2012, and become a part of Stage Three in Tribulation Period earthquakes.
The four stages of earthquakes were outlined in our Blog of September 24, 2005, which follows the Reuters Article.

Southern San Andres Fault Waiting to Explode

LONDON (Reuters) – The southern end of the San Andreas fault near Los Angeles, which has been still for more than two centuries, is under immense stress and could produce a massive earthquake at any moment, a scientist said on Wednesday.
Yuri Fialko, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, California, said that given average annual movement rates in other areas of the fault, there could be enough pent-up energy in the southern end to trigger a cataclysmic jolt of up to 10 meters (32 ft).
“The observed strain rates confirm that the southern section of the San Andreas fault may be approaching the end of the interseismic phase of the earthquake cycle,” he wrote in the science journal Nature.
A sudden lateral movement of 7 to 10 meters would be among the largest ever recorded.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake that destroyed San Francisco in 1906 was produced by a sudden movement of the northern end
of the fault of up to 21 ft.
Fialko said there had been no recorded movement at
the southern end of the fault — the 800-mile long geological meeting point of the Pacific and the North American tectonic plates — since the dawn of European settlement in the area.
He said this lack of movement for 250 years correlated with the predicted gaps between major earthquakes at the southern end of the fault of between 200 and 300 years.
Elsewhere on the fault, there were average slippage rates up to a couple of centimeters a year that prevented the build-up of explosive pressure deep underground.
When these became blocked and then suddenly broke free they produced trem ors
or earthquakes of varying intensity depending on the movement that had taken place before and the duration of the blockage.
USGS says the most recent major earthquakes in the northern and central zones of the San Andreas fault were in 1857 and 1906.
Fialko said there were three possible explanations for the lack of observed movement in the southern section — creepage under the surface that had no external manifestation, that it simply might not move as much
as the rest or a major blockage.
“Except for the first possibility above, the continued quiescence increases the likelihood of a future event,” he wrote.
Making calculations based on a wide range of land and satellite observations, he discounted the idea of creepage and warned of impending disaster.
“Regardless of fault geometry and mechanical properties of the ambient crust, results presented in this study lend support to intermediate-term forecasts of a high probability of major earthquakes on the southern SAF system,” Fialko said.

The Four Groaning Stages of God’s Creation!
September 24, 2005
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
THE FOUR GROANING STAGES
[1] Normal [2] Increase [3] Tribulation [4] 2nd Advent!
[1] Normal Groaning of Creation’s Tectonic Plates!
Romans 8:22 – For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
[2] 1967 Groaning Increase – the Beginning of Sorrows!
Matthew 24:7A,8 – And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[3] Greater Groaning of Final 3 ½ Years of Tribulation!
Matthew 24:21 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[4] The Last and Greatest Groaning of All (Second Advent)!
Revelation 16:18,19 – And there were VOICES, and THUNDERS, and LIGHTNINGS; and there was a GREAT earthquake, SUCH AS WAS NOT since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
[19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Luke 21:25-27 – 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; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Groaning Ends – Saints Appear at 2nd Advent.
Romans 8:19 – For the earnest expectation of the creature (creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons
of God.
I John 3:2 – Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
