Last month a strange, 9,000 mph seismic wave rippled across our planet, leaving seismologist @ALomaxNet baffled, as he quickly put out an alert over Twitter.
National Geographic reports; "On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.
"The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.
"These waves didn't just zip by; they rang for more than 20 minutes. And yet, it seems, no human felt them."
Researchers around the globe racked their brains for the source of the waves--"Could it be a meteor strike? A submarine volcano eruption? An ancient sea monster rising from the deep?" asked NatGeo.
"I don't think I've seen anything like it," says Göran Ekström, a seismologist at Columbia University who specializes in unusual earthquakes. "Many features of the waves are remarkably weird--from their surprisingly monotone, low-frequency "ring" to their global spread."
And though researchers are still chasing down an explanation for this geological mystery, scientists believe they may have a potential answer: The collapse of an underground magma chamber.
While interesting, this worldwide "seismic wave" doesn't compare to what the Bible predicts will happen someday in the future.
The 6th Seal of Revelation depicts a global earthquake that is so powerful it moves every mountain and island out of place. Revelation also mentions earthquakes in Chapters 8:5, 11:13 and 11:19 concluding with the greatest earthquake in mankind's history.
"And there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as has not occurred since men were on the earth" (Revelation 16:18).Unfortunately, it appears today's seismologists really haven't seen anything yet.
A wise man once said: "Various Scriptures warn us that the end-time events will come to pass suddenly and unexpectedly. God issued a warning that we should not be weighed down by the cares of this life so that the day of Christ's return arrives when we are not prepared. For it will come at a time when the world least expects it." -- Andre Van Blekum, Life, Hope & Truth
"But you aren't in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won't be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief...So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be sober" (1 Thessalonians 5: 4,6).How To Go To Heaven!
