Update 02:26 UTC : FRANCE is issuing a tsunami warning for his NEW CALEDONIA province. Not a surprise as New Caledonia was already mentioned in the list below.
- BBC reports a measured tsunami height of 0.91 meter at the Santa Cruz Islands. Tsunamis are however very different in height depending on the sea floor. Almost no tsunami at one place and a meters high tsunami at other bays and beaches. Let’s hope we can soon get a confirmation from this after all limited height. It would be inline with GDACS calculations.
The message reported by AFP surprises us a lot as shaking destruction was not that evident at this distance from the epicenter. AFP has changed the text a little bit illustrating that they are not so sure of their earlier report. “feared to have flattened villages in the Solomon Islands”

Quake Strikes In South Pacific; Destructive Waves Possible
Center says a South Pacific earthquake generated a tsunami that may be destructive near the epicenter.
It says sea level readings indicate a tsunami formed after the magnitude 8.0 earthquake hit near the Solomon Islands. More distant coasts may be threatened.
The tsunami warning is in effect for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, Wallis and Futuna. A tsunami watch is in effect for American Samoa, Australia, New Zealand and eastern Indonesia
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 8.0-magnitude quake struck Wednesday 50 miles west of Lata, in the Solomon Islands, at a depth of 3.6 miles.
Something tells me its gonna be a wild ride thru the rest of this year.... Lord, please give all those who stand on your name the strength to endure, & find peace in the midst of kaotic days to come. Amen!
ReplyDeleteI love yr prayer!
DeleteI wish I had the power to open eyes of those who can't understand Gods Wrath that is coming. His judgements are unfolding around the world.
In any event, things r happening fast....u can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah.
God bless!
I have never posted a comment before but can no longer stay silent.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Scott, thank you for your faithfulness. It has been such an encouragement to me more than you understand right now. I look forward to reading your thoughts and comments and reading the various posts...which brings me to my thoughts.
I have noticed an alarming increase to unkind words spoken between brothers and sisters in Christ. Too many church have been broken apart due to contention between brothers and sisters on doctrine. I Thes. 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up. (NIV) Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (NIV)
I look forward to meeting many when the Day has finally arrived which is quickly approaching!
Just for everyone's info...I am a Baptist - pre-trib and Baptist are the same word???
Sincerely in Christ, Sandra- Kingston ON CND
I ask respectfully...thr r over 60 Baptist denominations , to which do u belong?
ReplyDeleteScripture, nowhwere states Baptist and Pretrib r synonomous. In fact., Jesus never once spoke of anything Baptist.....or Catholic or Lutheran, etc.
Pre Trib hz nothing to do with any religion. The bible simply tells us that tru followers wl meet Jesus in the clouds during the Rapture. Jesus denounced anything RELIGIOUS-- Pharisees, Saducees etc. Jesus never once spoke of belonging to a religion...its a relationship, not a religion. Considering there r 10,000 false religions in this world, b cry careful with any doctrine with a name attached--_Mormon", "Islam" "Catholic" etc. And with more than 60 variations of "Baptist" I'm speculating the multiple doctrines have probably strayed from Gods Word , namely, the King James version. That's whr u hav to b VRY careful. If ANY doctrine deviates from Gods word, its a false religion...jst b careful ..
Karen, Wow, you missed the whole point... the comment on Baptist vs pre-trib was a joke! Again build up with love!
ReplyDeleteEphesians 5:19-20
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." (NIV)
Sincerely and with respect and love in Christ.
Sandra
Karen,
ReplyDeleteShe never said that Scripture said anything about Baptist. She is making a point that she is Baptist and in her world that is synonymous with pre trib.
Welcome Sandra and forgive us our adolescence. We have much to grow in His Grace.
To quote a very dear friend of mine, now in heaven,
"All God wants is for us to love each other and let Him be the Boss."
The three greatest things are not knowledge and even bravery and sacrifice nor prophecy speech, but faith hope and love. The greatest of course is Love.
I am weary of this constant arglebargle over zip.
Lets just read Scripture pray and check Scott out and respond to his posts.

KR, Thank you for your encouraging words!
ReplyDeleteGal 5:22 - 26
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other" (NIV)
I hope this clears up my thoughts to everyone.
Sincerely in Christ,
Sandra
Unfortunately its hard to distinguish wht someone really means unless one can speak face to face. My interpretation of the text wz what it wz, but again, in love.
ReplyDeletethanks guys!
