We all woke up to the news yesterday that another massive earthquake had devastated another part of the world. Many people in Chile had their lives turned upside down in a matter of moments. This event follows hot on the heals of that awful earthquake which took so many lives in Haiti only a few weeks ago. I even remember hearing on the radio a couple of weeks ago that there were earth tremors felt in Count Donegal in Ireland.
To any student of the Bible these events are really the speaking voice of God telling us that the 2nd Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is close at hand. When speaking to His disciples on one occasion he gave them some information about conditions in the world in the run up to His second advent. This discourse is recorded in three of the four gospels, you can be sure when God says something three times he really wants is to take notice. In part of that discourse the Lord Jesus mentioned that there would be earthquakes in different places. Luke says in chapter 21 v11
'And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.'
God is surely speaking to our world in these days, the question is, who is listening?
As Christians we must realise that we are running out of time to win the lost for Christ. We must share the heart of Christ when he said.
'I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.' John 9 v4
