Deadly quake rocks New Zealand, topples buildings

We've already posted a blog entry today regarding several earthquakes and a volcanic eruption occurring in different parts of the world.  Well only hours after that blog entry we see more earthquakes.  This time a major earthquake has struck Christchurch New Zealand with major damage and fatalities, and a minor quake has shaken buildings in the capital of the Philippines, (the Philippines being where today’s volcano erupted).

What on earth is happening??  Well it was Jesus himself that told us that just prior to his return to this world, we would see earthquakes occurring throughout the world, and we would presume volcanic eruptions as well.  While what is happening now is not the time of Jacobs trouble, or the great and terrible day of the Lord, that day is coming, and soon.  We are being warned.

We ask you to pray for the nation and peoples of New Zealand, as they deal with the aftershocks of this major earthquake.  And we also ask you to consider your current relationship with Jesus Christ.  Time is still at hand for you to make a decision to reconcile with the God of the Universe, through his son, Jesus Christ.  Don't delay.

The great day of the LORD is near— near and coming quickly. The cry on the day of the LORD is bitter; the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry. That day will be a day of wrath— a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness—a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. Zephaniah 1:14-16 NIV

From the article:
A strong quake hit New Zealand's second-biggest city of Christchurch on Tuesday for the second time in five months, toppling buildings, causing "multiple fatalities," trapping people beneath rubble and sparking fires. Local TV showed bodies being pulled out of rubble strewn around the city center, though it was unclear whether any of them were alive, but police reported multiple fatalities after the 6.3 magnitude quake struck during the busy lunchtime.

An earthquake with a magnitude of at least four shook buildings in the Philippine capital on Tuesday, although there were no immediate reports of damage. "It was felt in Metro Manila at intensity four. Even the Phivolcs (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology) building shook," government seismologist Danny Tacadino told AFP. He said the quake's exact power and epicentre were still being determined.
