2010, the year of natural disasters
Posted on April 14, 2010 by mark
Nature seems to have risen in recent times. And is that more than 220,000 people have been killed worldwide so far in 2010 as a result of natural disasters. The last one arrived on Wednesday with the earthquake of 7.1 degrees on the Richter scale that has left over 400 dead and 10,000 wounded in the western Chinese province of Qinghai. This is the third major earthquake recorded in just four months.
The largest of these occurred just opened 2010. An earthquake of 7 degrees shook Haiti killing at least 217,000 dead, a figure estimated to amount to 300,000 when fully completed work to clear debris. Two months after the tragedy, some 300,000 people are still recovering from his wounds and some three million victims try to rebuild their lives in the poorest country of America.
The incalculable damage were linked, rather than the force of the earthquake itself, the location of the epicenter, near Port au Prince, where nearly a quarter of the country’s population, and the poor quality of buildings in the area.
But it would be more than a month later, on February 27, when record the movement of soil from greater intensity of these first months of the year. The earthquake in Chile reached 8.8 degrees, making it the fifth worst in history. The consequences could even, according to experts, to modify the Earth’s axis to shorten the length of day at 1.26 microseconds and to alter the geographic position of cities in Chile and Argentina.
The death toll was, however, much lower than that of Haiti, 486 people died, hundreds of them for the subsequent tsunami that hit several areas from Chile and the Juan Fernández archipelago, while another 79 people missing. The number of victims grew to 800,000, while losses were valued at 30,000 million dollars.
A few days later, on 8 March, 51 people died and more than 70 were injured in a new land movement, this time in Elazig (Turkey), in an earthquake of 6 degrees on the Richter scale. Another tremor in Haiti, after the earthquake in January, died March 22 at least four people and three others injured when a building collapsed in Cap Haitien in the north.
The last earthquake that caused fatalities occurred before Wednesday took place on April 4 in Mexico, reaching 7.2 degrees on the Richter scale. Caused two deaths, 233 injuries and minor damage to infrastructure, especially in Mexicali, capital of Baja California, where more than one hundred aftershocks in the days after.
But not all natural disasters this year have been earthwork. Brazil suffered earlier in the month of April, the worst flooding in four decades by heavy rains, a tragedy which skews the lives of more than 200 people left Rio de Janeiro and thousands homeless Brazilians.

Don’t forget about the other quakes and events this year either. The 7.2 in Calexico on Easter, which is between mexico and san diego, but was felt all the way to L.A. and let off more than 500 aftershocks, the 6.4 earthquake in Taiwan, not as big but still significant, the one in Soloman Islands, 6.9 or 7.0 that one report said caused a tsunami(?), The volcano in iceland that went off last month and just caused a second volcano to go off melting icecaps and sending rivers rising by 11 feet, the unexplained tornado that nobody knows for sure if thats what it was, in India.
All these increase of natural disasters are indicative of our Lord’s soon return. According to the Bible disasters of every nature will become more rapid and fierce. There is an earthquake quoted in the Bible that predicts such a monstrous magnitude, that it will flatten mountains. It must be talking about a magnitude of 11 or 12. Let us pray for our nation. God help us all! You can read about this impending earthquake in the Bibles book of Revelation. With the earth”s recent twisting and spiraling it could be VERY soon. The earth is trying to tell us something “BIG” is about to happen.
how should the wholw world see and interpret these natural disasters?these disasters are clearly signs.signs of what?signs of the rapture.what is the rapture?the rapture is the sudden unexpected descend of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven to receive his church in the air.before he left for heaven,Jesus said in Mattew 24 that one of the signs to look out for that will signify his return is earthquake.considering the frequency of this natural disaster,i want the whole world to wake up to this realisation that Jesus is coming sooner than we think.Are you ready?please dont be left behind.
I’ve read elsewhere that the earthquakes and other natural disasters are not a problem its normal but they went on to say there were 32 quakes in 1 year. This year quakes have been happening everyday at yellowstone national park some days a few quakes, The earth needs to start over with human life or not. there will always be humans amongst the stars but by the way we do business and make things cheaper to trash such as toxic waste this earth deserves more and I think it’s finally showing its true colors.
These are all signs of birth pains. Matthew 24 Says it all.
If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ. Find someone who can help you before it is too late.
… and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and **earthquakes** in divers places.
All these things are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:7-8.
The disciples of Jesus asked him about what should take place before his Second Coming and in Matthew 24 he laid it all out. These things that are coming upon us is a warning that Christ’s return is evident.
“Behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Rev 22:12
As well as the tiny earthquake in Adelaide, Australia today!

i bet u have heard of the mayan calendar, and how it stops on dec. 21, 2010. Could it be what’s happening?
Or is it Jesus?
Or is it just the toxic enviroment?
jaime it is 21 dec 2012,get your dates right…
Christ will return and most will be got OFF guard!
The bible says when you see these things taking place raise your heads because for some your deliverance is drawing near…….
In Noahs days recorded at Matthew 24:37-39 the people took no note that means they saw these things going on around them the violence Noah and his family building the arc and yet they took no note because they didn’t place the relevance of those events on what that meant for them. So they took no action and thus swept away in the flood
So the parallel with Noahs day is the same as it would be in our day ppl taking no note, seeing but not seeing the relevance these events have on their own lives……One thing consistent with God if you read the bible he always gave a warning to the individuals giving them an opportunity to make the necessary changes before they suffered destruction. And the warning is ringing loud and clear according to Matt 24:3-14 not one of these warning signs has been missing for quite some time. So what does that mean he is holding off because there is still time for those who want to live their lives according to his standards to learn about him and make those necessary changes…..Remember God does not know how to lie so what he says will come to manifestation but what does that mean for everyone of us? Well that depends totally on us how do we see those warning signs and are we taking advantage of his mercy and undeserved kindness and using this time wisely, because when he says that’s it then no one will have an opportunity to change their mind. Because he knows whats in our hearts……I’m convinced that those deserving of survival will be survivors and those deserving of destruction will be destroyed.
No, The Bible is not 100% correct, as with all Spiritual Texts. This is the End of the Age, as prophesied in many Spiritual texts, and these disasters will only increase in the coming years.
Not just disasters in the Climate, but new Wars, Famine, Disease, and the Global Economic Collaspe. If you are in America, you should move now because your currency is about to be worthless and Chaos is about to commence.
A New Day is dawning and a lot of you will not live to see the future. Best to get to the Southern Hemisphere and to high ground while you still have the chance.
Also, the Book of Revelations IS the plan of the ‘Hidden Hand’. It is a SCRIPT to be followed, not something to believe in…
Just my 2 cents.
Oh, and before I forget: “Jesus” will not save you, neither will “god”.
Only you control your destiny, so don’t waste precious time and energy on silly things.
Good luck on survivng, you are going to need it.
hunza disaster in Pakistan in which the cracked mountain is burrieg the village and causing casualities
Lucifer – the name of the head of angels in heaven and also the one who questioned Lord Gods almighty powers and was sent into hell and is now the devil. I can see that you need to have your eyes opened and see that Lord Jesus Christ IS real, IS going to return and WILL send some of mankind into hell for they have not repented of their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their saviour
Hate to put a doubt in some religous faiths, but beyond Jesus beleived to have once walked this earth as Gods son 2010 years ago…. The Sumerians who was around about 5500 years ago scribed in drawings and carvings the 2012 star alignment marking the return of a dark planet to our solar system and reign the return of an alien race…
google 2012… read about planet x
look up the Sumerians scriptures…
google… orange ufo 2010 see how many sightings and official MOD footage of such orange lights….
Earth quakes, extreme weather and global changes are all connected to activities beyond our planet such as the major increase in solar flares between now and 2012 that even NASA has confirmed publically will occur and will have effects on our satelites, ie satnavs, mobiles, tv networks…
wat abt chile earthquake
These world is older than anybody could ever know. The notion of the return of the great charecter in a book used as a tool to control the masses is silly. Yes I’m speaking of your Jesus and the bible. Wake up people and realize its bigger than that. Global warming is real weather you believe it or not and it is escalated by humans. Common sense is a virtue that I hold dear to my heart and am ashamed and upset that people use faith of any diety is tragic. Take responsibility for your actions and stop using the cop out of the lord in so many walks of life. Love everything as you love yourself and what comes next is………….universal love
Lets see – if you knew ALL knowledge in ALL the world what % of the Univiersal knowledge would that =?
is it possible that the living GOD of Gods could exist in the portion of universal knowledge you do not know?
If such a GOD did is exist, and if he did communicate through the Bible, and if he is what he sys he is – loving and just – would you want to know him? The Bible says you can! simply read it and let him introduce himself to you…. by the why, he warns he is coming again to save people of this world as it crumbles around them, your ticket to safety is being known by God and his son Jesus. The disasters are nudges to seek him, our human efforts have destroyed the planet we live on, we need his help alone – not another humans promises of improvement… Be ware Matthew 24 begins with “Don’t let anyone deceive/trick you!” Good advice from the coming King himself.
i love me
jesus lovesd u all p
Ive studied the ‘End Times’ in the Sciptures of the bible for the past 32 years. Almost a third of the bible speaks about what the future holds – both good and bad – for this world and it’s inhabitants. Most of these prophecies hold to the to the Law of Double Reference, foretelling events in the then- near future, while
simultaneously “telescoping” to the events of the End Times – in effect a two sided coin. Looking back through history, the accurate fulfillment of the events foretold on the “Heads” side of the prophecy coin is plain to see as historical fact. Will the world take any notice as the coin spins towards the End Times, ready to land tales up?It’s your call!
While Hollywood busts the blocks with Armageddon-formula films and bookshops line the shelves with apocalyptic speculation, there is only one reliable source that offers TRUE revelation. The only book with a proven track record of faithfully foretelling coming events over thousands of years – God’s universal best seller: The Holy Bible.
READ IT. JESUS IS ABOUT TO MAKE HIS DRAMATIC RETURN VIA THE RAPTURE. MILLIONS OF TRUE BELIEVERS WILL DISAPPEAR ‘IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE’. THEN ALL THE UNBELIEVERS, THE BACKSLIDERS AND THE WICKED LEFT BEHIND WILL HAVE TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS DURING THE COMING 7 YEAR TRIBULATION WHEN GOD WILL SEND HIS JUDGMENTS.
Worldwide, things are bad and it will get (progessively) a whole lot worse, but It’s a wake up call from God to planet earth to get our collective houses in order. He wants us to repent of our sins and turn to God before it’s too late!!!
Oh, by the way 21 December 2012 is not the end of the world….how do I know, coz the bible tells me so!
All you religionists quoting the Bible, the most inaccurate piece of literature on the planet, are simply feeble minded and superstitious, dependent on a fabircated being that is no where to be found. The earth has been having earth quakes and tornadoes and floods and what humans call disatsers for billions of years, way before humans were ever on the earth. How short sighted and infintile, and arogant you are for thinking that God is coming to save you when he hasn’t had the smallest concern to even give any of the innocent children and victims of these disasters even the slightest benefit of the doubt or warning of any kind. He just sneaks up on them and lets them suffer. What a loving God that is. If that is how God operates He is not a being that I choose to emmulate or even acknowledge. Your relgionist theories are nothing short of a colossol fabrication. Get a grip on reality and the facts not emotional nonsense.
Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you all. Trust not in your own understanding. To those who suffer God is with you. To those who mourn God is with you. Soon the world will be as it was suppose to be. As God intented it to be. Evil must be punished but do not fear for God will save us and protect us and in the end there will be no more suffering, no more pain, and no more tears. Have courage and don’t listen to those who spread hate. Pray for those who are suffering around the world as this very moment and for those who refuse to open up their hearts to a God who only loves them. God be with you all.
Since this article was written, we’ve had how many other earthquakes, flooding in India, Russia on fire and under smoke/pollution, mudslides in China that followed more flooding… and it’s only August. I know a lot of people will refuse to even read the Bible as they are scared a book can somehow magically hypnotise them, but it states that too! lol I respect people who can read at least the New Testament and THEN say they disagree with it – fair enough. At least Satanists are honest and sincere in their beliefs. You guys just put your hands over your ears and eyes like little kids. I don’t agree with the Qu’ran or Talmud, but at least I’ve bothered to read them for myself instead of just following the atheist religion because that was mainstream view at the time. Unless of course you have a) travelled back in time to the start of reality to see what happened or b) have died and experienced yourself what happens after life. If so, I take off my hat to you and won’t bother you any further. If not, you’re following a religion. It just has clever marketing.
thats very bad
These are clearly signs of armageddon. “Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are destined to occur?” He said: “Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them. Furthermore, when YOU hear of wars and disorders, do not be terrified. For these things must occur first, but the end does not [occur] immediately.”
Then he went on to say to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences and food shortages; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.” Luke 21:7-11
“But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.”-2 Timothy 3:1
But keep on watch, because you don’t know when that last day will come. It’s going to come like a “thief in the night”
“and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. “-Matthew 24:39
“He said: “Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them. Furthermore, when YOU hear of wars and disorders, do not be terrified. For these things must occur first, but the end does not [occur] immediately.”-Luke 21:8-9
those who say that we should give our lives to jesus now before its too late are fucking morons! why christianity? why not Islam? why not Judaism? why are u so sure? plus, it has nothing to do with religion. i am a Christian but i would never say things like that because i know that it can hurt others. because of people like u the world is suffering and fighting.
I noticed there was no mention of the earthquake in Canada
Ok. All this has happened. Whatever your faith or belief system, whatever the place you come from – What are we as humans doing about it? What can we do to help those who are really suffering?
it might be building up too 2012
you are all liberal. just go and bow to obama you republican kilers
Ummm…….Everyone, this earthquake was just a natural disaster, it was not god or the devil. that its crazy, some things just happen and this was just one of those things. Believe me, im a scientist, i should know. Have a good day. Thanks.
i think everyone should go say hi to a panda and the wave to a goose and everyone taht coments should say hello to a red cowboy or a orange monkey that is holding two microwaves just for fun then have some pie for lunch or dinner so they dont get very tired after doing all those things lolololololololololololololololool rofl rofl rofl
ad stop saying shit about the bible it is so fucking annoying p.s what up i am 12 yrs old i like jelly pandas and playing the trumpet i the toilet to it sound like i a farting .
the cause of the natural disasters is planet x, which is being kept from the public by the a massive disinformation campaign. it is only just the beginning, it will get worse until the interloping planet causes a pole shift on earth and heads back out towards the sun’s dead twin. as earth has experienced these polar shifts caused by planet x in the past also within mankind’s memory, that is why it was part of religious legends and such. prepare yourselves, folks, cause its gonna be a bumpy ride.
i believe that Jesus will come back alot sooner than you all think…….this is just the beginning, and i feel so bad for people that don’t know God or Jesus, and haven’t accepted him into there hearts, because they are going to have it alot worse than they know. JESUS LOVES ALL…..DON’T TRY AND FIGHT IT, HE WILL SAVE YOU…..GO TO HIM NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
A tsunami has just hit Indonesia…once again. The waves could be felt till the islands of Reunion and Rodrigues. That’s a tough time for those people who face once again such a calamity…
ohhhh m doin a project on weather hazards
And 7.1 earthquake in New Zealand on september 4th was the scariest moment ever becoz its so LOUD and feels like the worlds ending
i am doing a newspaper article of natural or man-made disasters. need help.. suggestions??
Personally, i believe it is far more likely to be a ntural cycle in the earths history. We know that events such as this have happened before, but due to a lack of any type of structure it cannot truly be guaged how powerful it was, but im guessing, pretty damn powerful.
And for all of those that believe ‘Jesus’ or ‘God’ will save them, i think it is probably best if you keep that to yourself, you claim to preach forgiveness and respect for all and yet any chance you get you look down on those of either a different religion or those without one.
how about accepting that religion is meerly a replacement for belief.
clearly you failed to believe in your fellow man, therefore some clever chap wrote a big long book to convince those of you ‘God’ fearing enough to change your lives.
And on a tangent, am i the only person who see’s the selfish side of religion? People claim they are nice because they are christian/jewish etc (all preach the same basic message) that if you are good to others YOU will be rewarded in the next life. To me this simply means, “i’ll do exactly what im told regardless of how other people react to me, cus hey, I’m headed for heaven so to hell with all you non believers.”
Fanatics need to chill and realise that if its all going down, then it doesnt matter whether you save us or not, believe in yourself not in some deity who was most likely a simple doctor or trickster of the time.
Just getting a load off my chest.
I have read most of the comments below… ! I am curious about ‘the end of the world ‘ …i’ve just had a baby . I would like to have faith that the human race will see the effect of global warming as a reason to UNITE as ONE , religion will be overlooked in the name of survival and the new dawn of universal love will be upon us, maybe this will happen in 2012 mayan time …the ONE LOVE ethos represents what Jesus taught anyway , so then all those who think that ppl need to redeem themselves can do this by uniting as ONE to preserve and protect planet earth and consequently ourselves. All these many floods (one happening in south australlia right NOW!) etc are a drastic example of how mans greed and consumption has fu*ked the planet up , the heart of our existence. Everyone should listen to some reggea and BE POSITIVE and share the LOVE!
that’s my 50 cents . PEACE OUT & good luck
