CALIFORNIA QUAKING!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (51 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 10 robins! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from Monday’s L.A. Times, got my attention: “Two sets of earthquake swarms have hit California. What’s going on along the Mexico border?”

In the article, Rong-Gong Lin II wrote: “Another earthquake swarm has been rumbling along the California-Mexico border. More than two dozen quakes greater than magnitude 2.5 Saturday, with epicenters about 175 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles (population: 3,898,747, as of 2010) and 100 miles northeast of San Diego (population: 1,307,402, as of 2010), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. They have occurred largely along farmland between the towns of Brawley and Imperial in Imperial County. The largest quake was a magnitude 3.9 that struck at 4:05 p. m. Saturday, bringing light shaking to the Imperial Valley as well as south of the border and rattling Mexicali.”

All I (Doug) can say is: “Stay tuned, as I believe (and I could be wrong), we (here in America) are due for a “strong” (6.0-6.9) quake or greater. And, remember, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7, that one of the “signs” leading up to His return would be “earthquakes in various places.”

As believers in Jesus, we know and believe He is coming again, based on His Word, the Bible, (especially Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21). And, even though we will not know the “day or the hour” of His return (Matthew 24:36), I believe we will know the “season of His return” by watching the “signs” which Jesus said would come upon us like “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8), increasing in frequency and intensity, as we get closer to His return.

So, if you are a believer in Jesus, “stay on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37) and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Glory to God! Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (5/23/24)
