Friends, my good friend Ted Vanlandeghem, the U.S. director for Maoz Israel, also had a dream about a great earthquake along the New Madrid fault line. Ted said St. Louis looked like an atomic bomb was dropped on the city. St. Louis was totally devastated.
Did
you know that a magnitude 3.5 earthquake hit the New Madrid fault about
a week ago? THe New Madrid fault line is approximately twenty
times larger than the San Andreas fault in California, and it is starting to
wake up. Most people don’t realize this, but this fault zone has produced
some of the largest earthquakes in U.S. history. In 1811 and 1812,
immensely powerful earthquakes along the New Madrid fault rang
church bells in Boston and permanently changed the course of the Mississippi River. If we
had similar earthquakes today, the devastation would be unimaginable.
Unfortunately for us, earthquake activity in the middle part of the country is
becoming much more common. The USGS says that the number of significant
earthquakes in the middle part of the country has more than quintupled in recent years, and
the USGS has publicly admitted that the New Madrid fault zone has the “potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously
thought“. Very few Americans are talking about this right now,
but as you will see below, the threat is very, very real.
According
to international insurance giant Swiss Re, if the 1811 and 1812 New Madrid
earthquakes were to repeat today, the losses would be in the hundreds of billions of dollars…
A series of big
shakes — of the sort last seen in 1811 and 1812 — would cause about $300
billion in
damage, Swiss Re says. The cost would be double the damage from Hurricane Katrina in
New Orleans in 2005.
Houses — especially brick ones — would
collapse. Buildings would sink sideways into liquefying earth. Bridges might
tumble into the rivers. The route of the Mississippi River could change — as it
did in the last big quake.
People would die, perhaps by the thousands. Being mainly a
property reinsurer, Swiss Re didn’t estimate the human toll.
Could you imagine what that would do to our
nation?
The financial markets would collapse, the
federal government would simply be unable to aid everyone that was suffering,
and transportation on and across the Mississippi River would be brought to a
standstill.
And
this is a threat that government officials take quite seriously. In fact,
the U.S. Northern Command was just involved in a large scale exercise that simulated a major earthquake along the New Madrid fault…
The Illinois
Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) along with representatives from other state
agencies, National Guard Bureau, U.S. Northern Command, and the Polish Armed
Forces participated in the exercise, providing incident management and
emergency management teams, agency technical experts and military personnel to support the military’s training scenario.
“We gained a tremendous amount of insight by having IEMA,
other civilian agencies, National Guard Bureau, U.S. NORTHCOM and Poland
participate in this event,” said Col. Rick G. Yoder, commander of the joint
task force. “It’s critical to strengthen partnerships with local, state, and
federal partners before a disaster happens.”
The exercise simulated a 7.2 magnitude earthquake centered
on the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The event took place at the 183rd Fighter Wing
and the Joint Forces Headquarters in Springfield, Illinois.
So
is there a reason why we should be particularly concerned about the potential
for a New Madrid earthquake right now?
Yes, I believe that there is.
On
September 15th, the 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins. The
U.S. media is not saying much about this, but it is being widely reported in
the international media that France plans to introduce a resolution which will
give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian
state shortly after the new session starts. For much more on these
developments, please see this article.
For years, the U.S. government has been the one standing in the way of such a
resolution, but now Barack Obama is indicating that he may not stand in
the way this time around. The following comes from the
Los Angeles Times…
President Obama took a step toward a tougher line with Israel in an interview released Tuesday,
raising the possibility that the U.S. will allow a United
Nations vote on issues related to the Palestinians if the two
sides make no meaningful movement toward peace.
In an interview with
an Israeli television station, Obama noted that his administration has “up
until this point” quashed such efforts at the U.N. while insisting that the
Israelis and Palestinians must negotiate a resolution. But he said it is a
challenge for the U.S. to keep demanding that the Palestinians negotiate in
good faith if no one believes the Israelis are doing the same.
“How do we move off what appears right now to be a hopeless
situation and move it back towards a hopeful situation?” Obama asked in the
interview. “That will require more than just words. That will require some
actions. And that’s going to be hard work, though, because right now I think
there’s not a lot of confidence in the process.”
In essence, the decision to divide the land of Israel into two pieces lies in Obama’s hands.
If Barack
Obama gives the go ahead, there
will be a UN Security Council resolution establishing a
Palestinian state.
And once that happens, all hell could break
loose. For many years, people all over the world have been connecting the
division of the land of Israel with the coming New Madrid
earthquake. For example, just consider what Shane Warren shared during an
interview with Sid Roth…
Could we be right on the verge of seeing
this take place?
Without a doubt, America is ripe for judgment. We have shaken our
fists at God as we continue to plunge even more deeply into wickedness. I
believe that one of the reasons why the Planned Parenthood videos have come out right at this time is to show us
just how evil we have become. But instead of repenting and shutting
Planned Parenthood down, our officials are actually attacking the organization
that put out the videos.
I could go on and on, but I think that
you get the point. Our nation has fallen, and we desperately need to turn
from our wicked ways.
