THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN

WHAT MATTERS

Dr. C. Branker

Seismologist today, can predict where the next earthquake may take place; or so they say.

The study of earthquakes goes back to 585 BCE and 555 BCE., according to the writing of Thales of Miletus, Greek mathematician, philosopher and astronomer.

Aristotle, Greek philosopher and scientist did his own research and wrote about earthquakes in 340 BCE.

In 132 CE, Zhang Heng  of China's  Han dynasty, a polymath and astronomer  designed the first known seismoscope. 

Some argued that earthquakes were caused by the movement of fire within a system of channels within the earth. While others believed that earthquakes were caused by chemical explosions within the earth.

When ever I read the scriptures concerning earthquakes, I see it as something God controls and uses for destruction and punishment. He made the earth, and nothing will cause it to split and fall apart unless He is in it.

When there is injustice and robbery of the poor, God shakes that place with an earthquake. 

God provides for everyone, but when politicians and governments deprive its own people from basic necessities and expect them to work hard and pay more taxes, He sends earthquakes.

When innocent blood is shed and there is continual backsliding from morality and righteousness  God shakes the earth.

THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN.
