TW on weather and tornadoes; increase in earthquakes in Middle America

In the latest TW News & Prophecy, LCG reported:

More severe weather.

On Tuesday, up to a dozen tornadoes ripped through the Dallas, Texas area, injuring 17 people, damaging 650 homes and another 300 structures, and throwing 7-ton tractor-trailers around like toys. At the international airport, more than 100 planes were damaged, grounding 500 flights on Wednesday. Thousands were left without power (Reuters, April 4, 2012; USA Today, April 4, 2012). 2012 has already seen about double the number of tornadoes of a typical year in this country.

Meanwhile, severe drought and subsequent famine continues in the Horn of Africa, where more than a million children are at risk of malnutrition. Hundreds of thousands have already died, and “millions of people are on the threshold of a major crisis.” OXFAM says that “drought, high food prices, severe poverty and regional conflict are causing the crisis.” Without immediate international aid to the region, the situation will become much worse (OneNewsNow.com, March 29, 2012; BBC, March 8, 2012).

Bible prophecy foretells increasingly severe weather as the end of the age approaches (Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11; Revelation 6:3-8). God will allow these events in order to draw humanity’s attention to the fact that the way of man will NOT bring peace, safety or true happiness.

There also has been an increase in earthquakes in Middle America:

The Atlantic – April 6, 2012

A new United States Geological Survey study has found that middle America between Alabama and Montana is experiencing an “unprecedented” and “almost certainly manmade” increase in earthquakes of 3.0 magnitude or greater. In 2011, there were 134 events of that size. That’s six times more than were normally seen during the 20th century.While the changes in the area’s seismicity began in 2001, the trend has really accelerated since 2009, the geologists note. That happens to coincide with increased oil and gas production using new extraction techniques in some parts of the area. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/04/middle-america-is-experiencing-a-massive-increase-in-30-earthquakes/255568/

Jesus taught:

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8).

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

Increases in severe weather certainly are troubles, and there are earthquakes in various places. I have written that perhaps the beginning of sorrows began in 2009 (LCG: Beginning of Sorrows May Have Begun; Ecumenism Advancing). Also, in the article Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2012, 2013, or 2014? I wrote:

There have been earthquakes in various places (see Earthquakes Today and Bible Prophecy), limited famines, and troubles in 2011 and likely will be in 2012–so perhaps the sorrows are beginning (and possibly may have began on September 19, 2009). In Mark’s account the great “tribulation” does not start until verse 19 (essentially after the same events as Matthew’s account lists). Economic recessions and even depressions can be considered as “troubles.”

The increase of earthquakes since 2009 is consistent with that.

Bible prophecy is coming to pass.
