An earthquake rocked the island nation of Taiwan last week, centered in the city of Hualien. Reports indicate that there are at least thirteen casualties, with hundreds injured. It was measured at 7.2. A 4.8 earthquake centered near Lebanon, New Jersey, occurred just days ago. The earthquake was felt by residents of New York City and the tri-state area.
These geological events naturally grab the headlines. That is no surprise. What I do find surprising is that the massive shaking that is ramping up in the Middle East is not seen or understood for what it is—a sure sign that the world is about to experience the direct hand of God. Let me explain.
Israel’s recent airstrike upon an Iranian government consulate building and the elimination of several high-ranking members of The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and diplomatic support staff is the excuse Iran needed to come out into the open and attack Israel either from Iranian soil or through Iran’s proxies in primarily Lebanon, Syria, or both.
The normal voices of anti-Israel, anti-Jew bigotry, and hatred have joined together, and a growing crescendo of unhinged, irrational verbal pogroms against the nation and people of Israel will fuel a violent response. This swell of verbal diatribes is being echoed even in Washington, D.C. Will the Biden administration abandon Israel? Time will tell.
Several prophets spoke of that day. For example, Zechariah wrote, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zechariah 12:2-3; emphasis added).
