    New quake hits eastern Turkey

    ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's Kandilli observatory says a magnitude-5.0 quake has shaken eastern Turkey — a region already devastated by two powerful tremors.

    It says the quake hit early Wednesday and its epicenter was in the village of Kurubas near the city of Van.

    Authorities say the latest quake did not cause any serious damage but terrified residents rushed out of tents and buildings in panic.

    Mustafa Berktas, head physician of a state hospital in Van, says there is minimal damage at the hospital but patients will be moved into a field hospital and others in serious condition will be flown to nearby cities.

    A magnitude-7.2 quake and a magnitude-5.7 quake in October flattened some 2,000 buildings, killing 644 people in Van, the provincial capital of a half a million.

      I was stationed in Adana, Turkey for 15 months back in 1973 and 1974 and I made friends with the some of the people and enjoyed the history and the beauty of Turkey. My heart and prayers go out for these people. Here again the earth is groaning for its redemption to come when Christ returns.

        So true.The Bible does say that during the Tribulation following Christ's return, that there will be an earthquake like never before. Very tough times lie ahead. Thank God, all believers in Christ will be taken from this earth before then.

      Is it just me or are we having more earth quakes than usual. Don't say it is because the world is more populated now. It isn't like the worlds population has boomed by 50% in the last 10 years. Most of the places being hit haven't had quakes in decades or longer.

      For God so loved the world He sent His only begotten Son, whoever shall believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for the sins of mankind, who God raised from the dead, confess with your mouth He is Lord and ask Him to come into your heart and you WILL be saved. Jesus loves YOu and is not willing anyone should perish forever but everyone come to Him in faith and understanding. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Time is running short.

      That's two earthquakes just today, one in Jakarta where Obama grew up and this one. These are happening almost daily now, and Jesus foretold.

      Obama is (and I repeat is) THE Biblical antichrist. As such, he is the one who will force Israel to divide that land according to Dan 9:27. This is the event, according to the Bible, that starts the 7 year tribulation, and also brings devastation on the US (the Harlot as she is called in Rev 17 and 18).

      Obama will use the Iranian nuclear crisis (as leverage against Israel) to force Israel into this Dan 9:27 peace agreement. The Bible warns this peace agreement takes place between the nation of Israel and the antichrist. So when you see Obama sign it, which he will, you will know for absolute certain he is the antichrist.

      In exchange for Israel's "cooperation" in agreeing to this peace deal, Obama will use the American military to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat. He will also guarantee Israel’s security for a seven year period of time.

      This is in fact the entire reason Obama has allowed the Iranian situation to continuously escalate. The reason why is so he can use it as leverage to force Israel into this.

      We also know from the Bible the antichrist will be “given” power from 10 Islamic kings, all in the name of "peace and security" of coarse (Rev 17:13, 1Thess 5:2). This is what the Arab Spring will result in! Obama will set up a new coalition which will consist of 10 Islamic nations from the Arab Spring, of which he will be the leader. This is why he is and has been campaigning, and transferring US wealth, to the Muslims. This way they will desire for him to be their leader.

      Again, this will be done in the name of “peace and security” because of the power vacuums in the region that are left in the wake of all these Middle East campaigns. Even though Russia and China would be against such a power grab, they won’t be able to stop it because the “will of the people” in the region will be behind him.

      By making it their (i.e., the Muslims) decision for him to rule, Obama will gain their military power, trust and loyalty…all without even having to fire a shot. Obama will use (appeal to) Islam to get the “will of the people” behind him. His Muslim name and background will certainly help in this as well, without which, none of this would even be possible.

      All of this makes perfect sense and fits precisely with what the Bible said will happen over 2,000 years ago. It’s also something which only God could have foreknew! Since God said this will happen, these are the things that everyone should watch for.

      Who would be so foolish that if things actually unfold exactly like this, which they will, to still refuse to give glory to God, because He knew these things before the world was ever even created?

      Also remember that during the 7 year tribulation, a false prophet will arise who will be the Islamic false prophet called “Isa” (Isa will claim to be Christ). He will lead a great many to hell with him (Rev13:11-17; 19:20) by denying the very essence of who Christ is: that He is the Son of God, He died on the cross, and He was raised from the dead. The Bible is clear that Jesus is the only way to be saved (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). This Islamic Jesus Isa will deny this as well. Please, he is coming as the Bible says. Make sure you don’t follow him.

      "Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also." 1John 2:22-23.

      what's this?
      yet another earth quake in the news.

      it's as if they are birth p[ains.

      disbelievers can deny, justify, and lie (to themselves) that Christ is coming.

      just look at the number of thumbs downs i get and foolish replies i receive (like this first guy)
