There Have Been 144 Major Earthquakes in the Last Week.

the choice of 4.5 on the Richter scale makes it very hard to combine the same values. But the apparent large number of quakes in the low ranges tells us that in all probability there is nothing to the claim in the source from the OP.
It's definitely a case of SSDD. 140 earthquakes in a week, most of them minor enough they are minimally noticeable, how is that not business as usual?

They don't agree with your bleak analysis.

'My bleak analysis'?
I didn't write those articles. Lol.

You are helping to fulfill Scripture:
2 Peter 3:3-4, Holman Bible says, "First, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, living according to their own desires, saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? Ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation."

Two things to learn from this; first, some people wouldn't recognize how dire things are. And if that's the case, conditions must be somewhat bearable...it wouldn't be totally drastic.

(Of course, you're not living in Sudan or Chad, either.)


The real bad time, the Great Tribulation, is soon to follow.

That's still no different than anyone else throughout history spinning current events to fit as the "sign of the times."

That is a valid point. It is the event that fulfills prophecy that defines it for us to see, undersatand and make a choice. That is the way God has always fulfilled prophecy.

In this way it becomes an event that takes effort for us to search and determine, it is never handed to us on a plate, the gift must be wanted and effort must be made.

So then it even becomes a mathematical probability. We can check the claim made against the prophecy. What is the chance that a person is born, makes a claim and fulfills x amount of prophecy.

I am agreeing with you. I should have been clearer. The exact numbers given by the OP cannot even be checked much less compared to other weeks. An odd figure was used to make it difficult to vet the number.

But he hasn't. Excessively vague prophecies are failed prophecies from the start.

Prophecies that are "fulfilled" more than once are failed prophecies. The prophecies of Nostradamus are an excellent example of this.

Do you have anything but failed prophecies?

The truth in this is, that we can all stand accused of not seeing the greatness of this day we live in and the consequences we will face as a result.

The real bad time, the Great Tribulation, is soon to follow.

I see Christ did return as promissed in 1844. There is too much evidence for this not to be so.

That message offered all humanity the Most Great Peace, or as the Bible says, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven".

It is the rejection of that message that now feeds the death of the old world and a new world order now rolls out in its stead. We will all now face perilous times and Baha'u'llah has said.

"The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody."

I think America, Russia and China face great danger as the world neglects to find unity.

Time will tell, it would be good if we could dibert the event to come, but it appears not many wish to see it is a posibility, let alone make the required changes.

Peace be upon all, Regards to all, Tony

Depends who you checked them against. :)

10 to the power of 60 that it was not chance only, is possible.

That is because religious fools usually do not know how to use math correctly. When you have no actual fulfilled prophecies the claim falls apart.

Try with some actual evidence. Oh wait . . . there isn't any.

That still has a very poor record of accuracy. Even with attempted mathematics (which is ultimately based on arbitrary factors and variables that are of significance to the one who does such math), there have been thousands--if not millions--of predicted dates and not one has been accurate. What specifically makes this and now any different?
That's why prophesy has fallen out of place for theory. With prophesy, instead of accurate details such as specifically stating names like Donald J. Trump or former CCCP operative or ISIS and Al Qaeda, it gives us extremely vague terms such an "8th King," it never even says who to actually look for, and it speaks of creatures roaming the land that are found in DnD Monster Manuals. Physics, however, takes some measurements, crunches some numbers, and tells us exactly when an eclipse will happen and why they happen. Comets have been viewed of omens of typically bad things but also sometimes good, but astronomy discovered we have been seeing the same objects, objects that are chunks of ice following a path that takes them in-and-out of our visibility.

Thank you for the link to the article in the "Mirror". It does not support your contention that the earth has had 144 MAJOR earthquakes in the last week.
Do go find where I have once stated these were major earthquakes.

I wasn't disagreeing with you.

Would you like a couple of specifics. The Name was given.

We can use 1844 and show why Christains found that date. Then we can show a Name that is mentioned in the Bible that gave a Message in that year.

Here are 2 Names mentioned in Biblical Prophecy.

Gate.
Glory of God or Glory of the Lord.

Arabic translations of the above.

Bab
Baha'u'llah.

Language can be a cloud that obsures our vision.

I Liked the number of earthquakes was 144 that started this thread. 144,000 mentioned in the Bible. In Numerical interpretation they add to 9 which represents amongst other things, perfection.

Actually, even those happen. In fact, over 1,000 happen a year that exceed 5.
Earthquake Statistics
Nothing like a few facts to enlighten us all. At some point during all those years that exceeded 144, there were 144. When I go for a drive in the country I set my car 'trip odometer'. When it reaches 144, I look over my shoulder just to check.

I quoted an article that I thought was interesting and asked for "thoughts"...was there something in the OP that suggested that I didn't want the thoughts of others? You have all made them and I was interested to read them...thank you.

Your thoughts however do not alter my thoughts on the subject...just sayin.....:D

Then why make ridiculous claims? Most religions value honesty and you are not making honest claims about prophecies.

The truth is many would not appreciate the repy. The Bible offers it in this way;

Jeremiah 25:4"And the LORD has sent to you all His servants the prophets again and again, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear,"

I found silence is golden when that is the case.

I have listened to the so called .prophets, and they have failed. This is a rather well written article on biblical prophecies, the Bahai prophecies fail for the same reasons:

No problem. I was merely pointing out that your post was not factual in nature.
