This is a very interesting article from a bible prophecy standpoint. Did you know that the Japanese earthquake actually move Japan several feet closer to North America ? And did you also know that the last three big earthquakes, (Sumatra , Chile and Japan
Bible prophecy warns us that there will be earthquakes so powerful during the Great Tribulation, that the mountains and the islands will moved out of their place. Prophecy also tells us that the days will be shortened. Jesus Christ mentioned this, and the Apostle John alluded to it in the book of Revelation.
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake…. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Revelation 6:12&14 NIV
The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night. Revelation 8:12 NIV
“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Matthew 24:22 NIV
From the news article:
Last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan has actually moved the island closer to the United States
The 9.0 magnitude quake (the fourth-largest recorded since 1900) was caused when the Pacific tectonic plate dove under the North American plate, which shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet (see NASA's before and after photos at right). The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches, shortened the day by 1.6 microseconds, and sank Japan Japan
Why did the quake shorten the day? The earth's mass shifted towards the center, spurring the planet to spin a bit faster. Last year's massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile Sumatra quake knocked a whopping 6.8 micro-seconds off the day.
