      Make Fun! But think about it! If an earthquake hits california, and its 9.0 to 10.0
      the damage and death toll could be very bad! LA is spread out! But, San franciso
      is condensed! You have mega skyscapers! know! It was a different skyline in 1906!

      Around the world an earthquake of this magnitude (6.0 to 6.9) happens about once every three days. Just normal.

      Psalm 24

      A psalm of David.



      1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
      The world and all its people belong to him.
      2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
      and built it on the ocean depths.

      3 Who may climb the mountain of the Lord?
      Who may stand in his holy place?
      4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
      who do not worship idols
      and never tell lies.
      5 They will receive the Lord’s blessing
      and have a right relationship with God their savior.
      6 Such people may seek you
      and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.Interlude

      7 Open up, ancient gates!
      Open up, ancient doors,
      and let the King of glory enter.
      8 Who is the King of glory?
      The Lord, strong and mighty;
      the Lord, invincible in battle.
      9 Open up, ancient gates!
      Open up, ancient doors,
      and let the King of glory enter.
      10 Who is the King of glory?
      The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—
      he is the King of glory.Interlude

        Psa 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
        Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
        Psa 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
        Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
        Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
        Psa 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
        Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
        Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
        Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
        Psa 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
        Psa 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
        Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

      Matt. 24- Wars, famine, disease, and earthquakes in diverse places.
      We are in the end times. Israel is a nation again. There is talk of a global economy.
      The AntiChrist will run a global economy.
      Seek Jesus Christ, and accept him as your saviour.
