Monster aftershock could strike within days

As if Japan doesn't have enough on its plate, what with a huge earthquake, tsunami and the melting down of nuclear power plant cores.  Now the worry is of a mega-aftershock which could cause yet more damage on a massive scale.

If you study bible prophecy you can see that some of the events currently happening to Japan seems to be a microcosm of what will befall the world as a whole in the not too distant future.  Prophecy tells us that the world will see massive earthquakes which will lead to world wide problems.  From food shortages and famine, to economic collapse.  While Japan will be able to see to the needs of those of its citizens affected by these events, a world that goes through the same but much, much more the greater will not be so fortunate.


From the article:

NORTH-EASTERN Japan can expect another monster earthquake large enough to trigger a tsunami within days, the head of the Australian Seismological Centre says.  The director, Kevin McCue, said there had been more than 100 smaller quakes since Friday, but a larger aftershock was likely.  ''Normally they happen within days,'' he said. ''The rule of thumb is that you would expect the main aftershock to be one magnitude smaller than the main shock, so you would be expecting a 7.9. ''That's a monster again in its own right that is capable of producing a tsunami and more damage.''

Japan has experienced more than 275 aftershocks of magnitude 5 or greater since Friday's earthquake, further hampering rescue efforts. Some have been as powerful as 6.8-magnitude, and it is feared that if an aftershock of a magnitude over 7 occurred it could cause another tsunami. According to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center, Japan has experienced between 12 and 15 aftershocks per hour since Friday's quake, and it is not known when they will stop.
