Luke 21:11, 25-26 (NKJV) 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.Not only will the sun be darkened, and the stars fall, but there will also be great earthquakes in various places! 25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Part 3 of Christ’s Warning—“the powers of the heavens will be shaken”: Both natural and supernatural phenomena in the earth and sky appear to be increasing. And when Christ returns there will be cosmic quakes: “There will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:11).

On December 26, 2004, our planet was struck by the Sumatran-Andaman earthquake. That quake was so massive that scientists are still analyzing what happened. But this we do know: the earthquake lasted about ten minutes; it is the longest quake ever known and was the most powerful ever recorded. The quake, centered in the Indian Ocean, created the largest gash in the earth’s seabed ever observed. It was the second deadliest quake known to history. The quake was also the second-largest to hit our planet (that we are aware of ) and is only surpassed by the 1960 Chilean quake.

So we have lived through the second biggest, second deadliest, longest, and most powerful quake ever felt and measured by man. We have been warned that a space rock is headed closer than any has ever been and that it will be the first asteroid visible with the naked eye from earth. And, on May 15, 2005, we had the highest-level solar storm sighted by the NOAA. Jesus was asked, “What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” So He ran down the now-familiar list of earthquakes, famines, wars, and pestilences. He said that all of these would come upon the earth like “birth pangs” that would increase in frequency and intensity as time grew near.

Jesus responded, “There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory” (Luke 21:25–27). In the meantime, He told those who would witness the signs of His return, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28). One thing is certain: for the first time man now has the ability to track smaller asteroids that could wreak enormous destruction on this planet. This is creating increased anxiety over previously unknown threats from the heavens. This is what Jesus predicted would happen in the last days, and that is precisely why we all need a hope that anchors! The prophetic signs of Christ’s soon coming just keep multiplying. Are you ready to meet Him?

How can you get ready? Live in the hope of Christ’s return. Trust Him with your future. Wait upon Him to guide your daily life. Avoid whatever grieves Him. Resist fearing anything but God!
