A second strong earthquake shook Japan on Monday just hours after an earlier tremor killed at least seven people, injured hundreds of others and sparked a fire and leak at a large nuclear power plant.
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
—Mat 24:7
The 6.6 magnitude quake occurred at 11:18 p.m. local time in the Sea of Japan off the country’s west coast near the Kyoto region, Japan’s meteorological agency reported.
No tsunami alerts were issued in the latest tremor. Reuters news agency reported witnesses seeing buildings in Tokyo swaying during the quake.
About an hour earlier, at around 10:13 a.m., a 6.8 magnitude quake struck off the coast of the Niigata area, about 260 kilometres northwest of Tokyo.

I think that the earthquakes in Japan are signs of the end-times. This natural disaster is a birth pang. When a woman is in labour her contractions begins to intensify as the labour progress. As it is in the natural so it is in the Spirit. Jesus told his disciples that it will be earthquakes in divers places. What more proof do we need?

boolie,
Unfortunaely, some need flaming hail being thrown down at them before they’ll pay attention.
