The devastation of the earthquake and tsunami in 2004—has given us a tiny insight into what the world will be like at the end of the age.
The world ended for at least one hundred and fifty thousand people that Sunday after Christmas. We should think about that event before it gets crowded out of our minds by the next event.
Three minutes.
That is how long the ground shook, the earth quaked–and then the sea began to roar.
We know now that a minimum of 150,000 immortal souls perished because of the waves and quakes. The energy unleashed was staggering. The reminder from God–is priceless.
Jesus warned us that life is fragile, and death is inevitable—but only He is the answer.
The Christmas Quake of 2004 will go down in history as another gracious reminder from the Lord of what we are really here on earth to do—seek God! Look again with me to the “gentile version” of Christ’s sermon on the End of the World. Matthew and Mark record these words, and John writes a 22-chapter expansion on this sermon called the Revelation of Jesus Christ. But Luke 21 records an amazing version of Christ’s words that are just right for us to reflect upon today.
It was not the Largest Quakes on Record
First of all, before we read Christ’s words, remember that this quake was not the biggest, it was number four. But it is the most deadly of modern history. The quakes of 1957, 1960, and 1964 were larger.
