Blog note. Since I started this blog, I have been relentlessly posting updates of hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, pestilences, plagues, famines, wildfires and everything of a “fearful sight” in terms of natural disasters. So many, in fact, that one can become numb to everything that is going on and forget just what is considered “bad” versus just a nuisance. The Bible is extremely clear when it says all these various natural disasters (fearful sights in diverse places) will increasingly become more severe, more frequent, longer in duration and greater in pain … just like the birth pangs of a woman in labor. I have just been providing the proverbial “tip of the iceberg”. There are many, many more earthquakes that I have NOT reported, that are in the 5.0 to 6.0 magnitude range. There are just too many to post individually. Therefore, I have been focusing on pointing out those quakes greater than 6.0 magnitude. Yes, there really are that many earthquakes going on worldwide over 2017 and 2018.

So, what is considered a ‘bad’ earthquake?

According the Richter Scale shown above, an earthquake in the magnitude of 6.0 to 7.0 is is considered strong.

With each increase in magnitude, is a thirty-fold increase in severity.

I have hypothesized in an earlier blog that the great earthquake (none that ever has been on the earth for as long as men have walked it) could be of a magnitude 10.0 (or greater) earthquake. Ten (10) in God’s divine mathematics, denotes His divine completion or fullness of his plan with anything having to do with the earth. A 10.0 magnitude earthquake would literally be off of the Richter Scale! Would an earthquake of this magnitude be great enough to remove mountains and islands out of their places (found no more)?

End of note.
