Matthew 24: 7-8
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.
I always wanted to go to Japan and experience a mild earthquake tremor. Nothing major and life threatening, just to feel the earth shake under my feet.
Yesterday, some 25 hours ago, I got my wish of experiencing what an earthquake tremor felt like. As I sat in my desk, I felt this weird mild rocking motion of forward and backward. Very mild, but yet very surreal because somehow my body just felt weird. Then I heard the many people in office asking if anyone felt the rocking sensation.
Out of curiosity, I also logged into the website just to verify if it was indeed true, because it could well have been some structural defect in my office building. (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/) Imagine my job when I realised a 7.6 earthquake had indeed struck at 6:17pm. It was such an exciting feeling to finally get my wish.
Today, as I log into the same website, I realise that there is really alot of earthquakes which is happening in greater frequency. However, I asked myself has anything happened differently to my life after experiencing my first tremor? Nope.
That is where I'm concerned that in these end of end days, so many things are happening to demonstrate the sign of times, but yet, we are living our lives nonchalantly in status quo because we are so conditioned by the many reports of floods, typhoons, illnesses and other devastating calamities.
How scary it would be on the day which Christ comes back and we are not ready because we loose all sense of expectancy and have been so dulled by the overly frequent bad news we see all around.
Remain alert!
