The earth quaked

 

Yesterday (18 June, 2000) the earth quaked again here in Italy. The earthquake was rather strong; its epicentre was located in Emilia Romagna and it was heard and felt even in Milan. Nobody was killed, however many people were frightened. As usual, seismologists have given explanations of why the earth trembled. But why does the earth tremble, according to the Bible? The Word of God clearly states that the earth trembles at the wrath of God, as it is written: “But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation” (Jeremiah 10:10).

Earthquakes are then God’s judgements, which He sends upon this wicked and corrupt world, which judgements are all just. Therefore, no matter what the seismologists say to explain earthquakes, the earth will tremble again and again also here in Italy because of God’s indignation against this so called Christian country because of the wickedness which exist in it.
