Oklahoma Quake Leaves Scientists with Questions

Prophecy Sign: Earthquakes and volcanoes in diverse places


If you have been following our blog for a while, you will know of the many articles we have noted about earthquakes and earthquake swarms occurring all over the heartland of America. We have seen articles about swarms occurring through Arkansas, the Carolinas, Nevada, and now Oklahoma.

Makes you wonder just what God might be doing? Perhaps trying to catch the attention of a nation that has a leader bent on the further division of the Holy Land?

The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry. Psalm 18:7 NIV

I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:2 NIV

From the articles:

The magnitude 5.6 earthquake in Oklahoma on Saturday night felt was as far as Wisconsin, U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Jill McCarthy said.  “We have had eight recorded earthquakes (in Oklahoma) in the past 24 hours or so,” she said. McCarthy is the team chief scientist with the National Earthquake Information Center in Denver, Colo. A 4.7 magnitude temblor was reported early Saturday, followed by the 5.6 magnitude earthquake just before 11 p.m., which was the strongest in state history.  A series of smaller earthquakes was reported between the largest quakes, sometimes referred to as aftershocks.

Geological experts are struggling to explain what's described as a dramatic increase in seismic activity throughout America's heartland. Another quake shook the same area in October 2010. It was recorded as Oklahoma's second largest quake. Seismologist Austin Holland, who works for the Oklahoma Geological Survey, said there are actually fault lines criss-crossing the heartland. Although they're small, seismic pressure can build up. "The plate boundaries are squeezing the central part of the United States from all the interactions of the tectonic plates surrounding North America," Holland told CBN News.
