9 Richter Scale Earthquake Shakes Japan - Was It In The Bible?



A powerful 9 earthquake shook Japan at 2:46 pm on Friday, the strongest earthquake ever recorded in its history. It’s the fifth-largest earthquake ever recorded. This quake also cause a deadly tsunami which has killed hundreds of people if not more. Dozens of aftershocks have rattled Japan, most notably a magnitude 6.6 earthquake.

In the bible the disciples asked Jesus what signs there would be in the end of days:

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Matthew 24:3

Jesus answered with a number of signs, many of which we are seeing today:

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Matthew 24:4-8

“Birth pains” are likened to the contractions experienced by a woman about to give birth, with those episodes increasing with frequency and intensity. If you have been following the news at all, you know the amount of disasters has been increasing dramatically. They are also getting more intense. Japan’s earthquake was the strongest we have seen in our lifetimes.

The stage is being set for the second coming of Jesus. I would not be surprised to see more major earthquakes happening very soon. Birth pains do not stop or slow down, they get stronger and more and more intense.

“What I say to one, I say to all; watch.” (Mark 13: 37)

Jesus told us to watch for these times, and they are here. Now for those of us that do not live in the effected areas, we still need to watch for these signs. No part of the earth is immune.

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25).

It is also interesting to note that a woman who has been watching the sun, moon, and the stars actually predicted a major earthquake on the March 11-15. She posted a video on YouTube concerning the event two days prior on March 8th which is posted below.

The bible is true. Prophecy is proving that everyday. The Old Testament was written between approximately 1450 BC and 430 BC. During that time, many predictions of the future were recorded in the Bible by God’s prophets. Of the events that were to have taken place by now, every one happened just the way they predicted it would. No other “sacred writing” has such perfectly accurate predictions of the future. Please be sure that you are going to Heaven!!
