Jesus said there would be earthquakes in divers places

[AudeSapere]

There has always been earthquakes in divers places (different places) since time immemorial. What makes what Jesus said such a prediction?

Better--has Jesus said anything about the last day that is different from today?

If not, then the prophecy may not be an actual prophecy, but an allegory on how to live each day----Jesus does have a bad habit of talking off subject.

Better buy a bag of popcorn cause mores a comin

nothing that has not been happening throughout the last 4 billion years. Earthquakes don't have to happen in the same dozen places. The mountains were formed and still being formed from the earth plates moving against each other.
If the mountains are growing three inches a year earthquakes should be expected.

Don't try to talk sense to idiots who believe an ancient book written by sheep and camel herders who believe in witches and though the earth was flat. They also shit on the ground and wiped on their hands. If could walk on water why didn't they invent toilet paper? The Chinese invented toilet paper about 500 AD

Israeli archaeology has discovered woven textile like stuff-----that reveals signs
that it was used as toilet paper (in the absence of olive leaves) ---romans used---
and apparently reused ---sponges. It is not clear to me who washed them. Olive leaves are edible but very bitter

Toilet paper negates God. OK. That ancient book you refer to holds understanding that would blow your head right off your shoulders. The rumblings of the world are the Gates of Heaven opening. You are going to need that toilet paper because you are about to crap yourself.

recent fatwa gave muslim permission to use toilet paper

really? how exciting ----you got a link? When such a fatwa is issued----
does it come with learned justification? As far as I understand----muslims
do not confer authority on anyone to make up rules or knock down old ones

2 San Francisco-area earthquake faults found to be connected
October 19, 2016 — The most dangerous earthquake fault in the San Francisco Bay Area is connected to another, which means both could rupture simultaneously and unleash major devastation, a new study finds.

The Hayward Fault has long been considered a threat because it runs under densely populated neighborhoods east of San Francisco. The new work found that beneath San Pablo Bay, it joins with a second, less active underground fracture to the north. Scientists had already considered the possibility of both faults rupturing at once, whether they are connected or not. So the discovery doesn't change the estimated earthquake hazard much, although it confirms suspicions that the stage is set for what could be a massive quake. If the Hayward and Rodgers Creek faults broke simultaneously along their combined 118 miles, they could produce a magnitude 7.4 quake, said scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Such shaking would be more than five times stronger than the 1989 Loma Prieta quake on the San Andreas Fault that killed over 60 people and collapsed part of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. There hasn't been a major quake on the Hayward Fault in more than 140 years. Quakes are caused by a sudden movement in the Earth's crust, releasing stored energy that people feel as shaking. "This should be a reminder that folks in the Bay Area need to be prepared for a major earthquake," USGS geophysicist Janet Watt said in an email. Watt and her team probed the geology beneath San Pablo Bay, a tidal estuary that extends north from the San Francisco Bay, using a special acoustic instrument that bounced sound waves through the water and into the rocks below.

David Schwartz, geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), walks along the Hayward Fault in a parking lot in Hayward, Calif. New research published in the journal Science Advances on Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2016, found that the Hayward Fault may be linked to another fault.​

The Hayward Fault extends for 62 miles from San Jose to San Pablo Bay, passing through Berkeley and Oakland. The last time it broke was in 1868 when a magnitude 6.8 struck, killing 30 people. The Rodgers Creek fracture runs 56 miles north of the bay through the heart of wine country. The underwater surveys revealed a previously unknown strand of the Hayward Fault that connects to the western section of the Rodgers Creek Fault. One reason why it has taken so long to determine the relationship between the two faults is because the bay is very shallow, which makes it hard to use a boat. Researchers floated instruments on pontoons. Results were published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.

The evidence is "really quite convincing," said Roland Burgmann, a geophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley who had no role in the research. "Having a continuous fault does certainly make it easier for an earthquake rupture coming from either the north or the south to continue straight through," he said in an email. The study was published before an annual earthquake preparedness drill Thursday in which more than 10 million people in California will practice the "drop, cover, and hold" procedure. The drill began in 2008 in Southern California and has grown to include other states and countries.

Really find this thread humorous... Just to educate a little and also showing that the New Testament and her writers did not understand the Jewish scriptures at all and misunderstood everything.. Including Jesus wink wink....Earthquakes do not represent actual earthquakes they represent a shaking of the people's.... Either their faith or their resolve or just shaking them out of their sins or their lethargy in important matters... Hebrew is a poetic tongue and the Hebrews and the prophets used it as such....Very simple and not to be taken literally like we are going to have a 10 on the Richter scale.....Once people realize this then things and understandings are so much more straightforward and easy to discern... I am not going to debate it . I am just putting it out there so the ones with open minds can see these simple truths....
