EARTHQUAKES

EZEKIEL 37:7,11-14
7  So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.(POSSIBLE QUAKE BRINGS ISRAEL BACK TO LIFE-SO NOISE AND SHAKING-QUAKES WILL ALSO DESTROY ISRAELS ENEMIES)
11  Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12  Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13  And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14  And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

MATTHEW 24:7-8
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

MARK 13:8
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:(ETHNIC GROUP AGAINST ETHNIC GROUP) and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

LUKE 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places,(DIFFERNT PLACES AT THE SAME TIME) and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

REVELATION 11:11-14
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they(ELIJSH-MOSES) heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither.(REV 4:1 WE KNOW IS THE RAPTURE FOR SURE) And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.(RAPTURED)
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

REVELATION 16:18-20
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city (JERUSALEM) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Powerful quake hits southern Japan, shopping mall explosion leaves some trapped and others presumed dead-By-Reuters-Updated: July 28, 2026 at 10:47AM EDT-Published: July 28, 2026 at 5:38AM EDT

At least 50 people have been injured after a powerful quake struck southern Japan, damaging buildings as aftershocks remain a threat.TOKYO -- A 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Japan’s southern Kumamoto prefecture on Tuesday, knocking out power to thousands of homes, rupturing roads and leaving some trapped and others presumed dead inside a partially collapsed shopping mall.Speaking to reporters at her office in Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said authorities were still assessing the full extent of the damage in the area, which was devastated by a deadly quake a decade ago.“We have already been informed that people have been injured. Power outages and fires have occurred in some areas, and there has also been damage to roads and bridges and the collapse of buildings,” Takaichi said.“I ask everyone to take action to protect themselves, including evacuating to a safe location.”Around 300,000 people have been instructed to go to evacuation centres, and hundreds of soldiers have been deployed to help with rescue operations as aftershocks continued to rumble in the area, on Japan’s southwestern island of Kyushu.‘Like volcanic ash was falling’Around 20 to 30 workers at the prefecture’s largest shopping mall were unaccounted for after it was rocked by an explosion in the aftermath of the quake, NHK said.Fire services earlier said multiple people were trapped inside.Local news outlets quoted police saying several had died or were presumed to have perished in the incident, although Reuters could not immediately confirm the reports.One side of the mall, which houses around 200 stores, was torn away, exposing steel beams and strewing debris across a vast parking lot, footage showed. Several ambulances and fire engines were parked outside, as rescue teams searched for survivors.A spokesperson for mall operator Aeon 8267.T said customers and employees were evacuated right after the initial quake and that the exact cause of the ensuing explosion was unclear. Authorities are investigating a possible gas explosion, broadcaster NTV reported.Kazuya Tsurunaga told TBS he was stunned by the blast while cleaning up dishes broken by the earthquake inside a pub about 300 meters from the Aeon mall.“It was a huge impact,” he said. “A large cloud of smoke billowed up, and because the wind happened to be blowing and the wind direction was towards the shop, the area around us was in a state like volcanic ash was falling.”Multiple people were also unaccounted for after a chimney collapsed at a Nippon Paper Industries 3836.T factory, broadcaster NHK reported, while two hospitals were each reported to be treating more than 50 people, some in serious condition. Several passengers aboard high-speed trains at the time of the quake were also injured, operators said.Buildings on fire-Authorities said they were responding to multiple incidents where buildings had partially collapsed or had caught fire. One person died in one such collapse in a town near the epicenter, TV Asahi reported.Some roads were also badly damaged, with large cracks splintering major highways, snarling traffic. Rail services were suspended and flights grounded.TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, Sony and Fujifilm evacuated workers from their plants following the quake. TSMC said in a statement late Tuesday that its site was unaffected and operations were gradually resuming.However, Tokyo Electron, a semiconductor equipment maker, said it was suspending operations at its two factories in Kumamoto through Wednesday, while Honda said it would also temporarily idle its motorcycle factory there.The quake’s epicenter was about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of Kumamoto city, central Kyushu’s largest city with a population of around 700,000.Residents in the areas that felt the biggest tremors must be on alert for further strong quakes for about a week, as well as for the risk of landslides, an official for the Japan Meteorological Agency said. About 100 small aftershocks have hit Kumamoto already since the initial jolt, JMA said.Tsunami warning lifted-Located along the “Ring of Fire” of volcanoes and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin, Japan accounts for about 20% of the world’s earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or more.A tsunami warning was issued immediately after Tuesday’s quake, but was later lifted.Kyushu Electric Power said 48,000 homes had lost power as a result of the latest quake, while railway company JR Kyushu said that it had suspended services, including its high-speed bullet trains. Kumamoto airport also shut its runway, as airlines diverted and canceled flights.Telecoms operators KDDI and Docomo said there was disruption to their mobile phone services due to power shortages and transmission-line failures.There were no irregularities reported at the nuclear power stations in the area, Japan’s nuclear regulation authority said.A massive earthquake in Kumamoto 10 years ago killed 275 people and injured a further 2,739, according to an official count, and damaged thousands of buildings including the city’s castle, a top tourist site.Some portions of the stone walls at the castle also collapsed as a result of Tuesday’s quake, an official at the castle’s office said.With thousands of homes still without power as night fell, authorities warned residents about the risk of heatstroke as temperatures were set to hit 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) on Wednesday.Reporting by Chang-Ran Kim, Anton Bridge, Kantaro Komiya, Mariko Katsumura, Hina Suzuki and Tim Kelly; Writing by John Geddie; Editing by Kate Mayberry and Alex Richardson, Reuters

Major earthquake shakes southern Japan, some victims trapped in damaged shopping mall-Quake knocks out power to thousands of homes, briefly triggers tsunami advisory-Thomson Reuters · Posted: Jul 28, 2026 4:53 AM EDT | Last Updated: 37 minutes ago

A major earthquake hit Japan's southern Kyushu island on Tuesday, knocking out power to thousands of homes, rupturing roads ‌and leaving some trapped and others presumed dead inside a partially collapsed shopping mall.Speaking to reporters at her office in Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the full extent of casualties and damage from the quake was still being assessed."We have already been informed that people have been injured. Power outages and fires have occurred in some areas, and there has ​also been damage to roads and bridges and the collapse of buildings," Takaichi said."I ask ​everyone to take action to protect themselves, including evacuating to a safe location."Takaichi also said her government has set up a task force to deal with the emergency, and that 3,600 soldiers would be deployed to help with the disaster recovery as aftershocks continued to rumble.The quake struck around 4:27 p.m. local time with a preliminary magnitude of 7.1. Its epicentre was about 20 kilometres south of Kumamoto, central Kyushu's largest city with a population of around 700,000.Around 20 to 30 workers at the prefecture's largest shopping mall were unaccounted for after it was rocked by an explosion in the aftermath of the quake, public broadcaster NHK said.Local news outlets quoted police saying several ​had died or were presumed dead in the incident, although Reuters could not immediately confirm the reports.One side of the mall, which houses around 200 ⁠stores, was torn away, exposing steel beams and strewing ⁠debris across a vast parking lot, footage showed. Several ambulances and fire engines were parked outside, as rescue ‌teams searched for survivors.A spokesperson for mall operator Aeon said customers and employees were evacuated from the area right after the initial quake and that the exact cause of the ensuing blast was unclear. Authorities are investigating a possible gas explosion, broadcaster NTV reported.The mall was also badly damaged during an April 2016 earthquake and held a 10th anniversary event recently to commemorate its recovery, as a redevelopment and expansion was said to have included seismically reinforced ceilings and overall improvements to safety and resilience.Kazuya Tsurunaga told broadcaster TBS he heard the explosion while cleaning up broken dishes inside a pub about 300 metres from the mall."It was a huge impact," he said. "A large cloud of smoke billowed up, and because the wind happened to be blowing and the wind direction was towards the shop, the area around us was in a state ⁠like volcanic ash was falling."Several other buildings were also on fire or partially collapsed, according to footage from NHK, while large cracks appeared on major roads, including an elevated highway.Evacuation centres-The Japanese government issued emergency earthquake warnings for Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Fukuoka, Saga, Oita, and Miyazaki prefectures, all on Japan's southern Kyushu island. A tsunami warning for a wave measuring one metre was issued after the earthquake, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. The advisories were lifted within two hours.An overhead view shows a major roadway with cracks in both directions of traffic.Around 300,000 people have been instructed to go to evacuation centres, Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.Kyushu Electric Power said about 40,000 homes had lost power as a result of the quake, while railway company JR Kyushu said that it had suspended services, including its high-speed bullet trains. Kumamoto airport also ​shut its runway, as airlines diverted and cancelled flights.Telecoms operators KDDI and Docomo said there was disruption to its mobile phone services due ​to power shortages and transmission-line failures.There were ⁠no irregularities reported at the nuclear power stations in the area, Japan's nuclear regulation authority said.TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, evacuated workers from its plant in the area as a precaution, a spokesperson for the firm said.A narrow street in a city is shown, with debris lying on the ground from an apparent storm or weather event.Sony and Fujifilm also evacuated ⁠staff from their plants in the area, Nikkei newspaper reported. A Sony spokesperson earlier said it was checking the situation.Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, with a tremor occurring at least every five minutes. Located along the "Ring of Fire" of volcanoes and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin, Japan accounts for about 20 per cent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or more.Kumamoto was hit with a deadly quake in 2016 that left more than 50 people dead, 1,800 injured and tens of thousands of homes damaged or destroyed.With files from The Associated Press

New evacuations ordered in southwestern France wildfires as heat wave conditions return-Fires in France and Spain have seen around 330,000 people subject to evacuation orders-The Associated Press · Posted: Jul 28, 2026 6:44 AM EDT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

Wildfires in Europe have become so powerful they have created their own thunderstorm-generating weather systems. This has officials in France and Spain urging more be done to prevent the fires from starting.French authorities ordered nearly 4,000 people evacuated Tuesday from tourist sites on the Atlantic coast as returning heat threatened firefighters' fragile hold on a vast wildfire west of Bordeaux.The new evacuations deepened a wildfire emergency of exceptional scale across southwestern Europe. Fires in France and Spain have forced roughly 330,000 people to evacuate, while Spain entered its fourth heat wave of the summer with several blazes still out of control, including its largest on record.Firefighters had held the French blaze in check through a calm night, bringing flare-ups near coastal dunes under control and keeping the burned area unchanged at 420 square kilometres.Authorities described the Gironde fire as stabilized, not fixed — meaning it could still spread again as temperatures rose and humidity fell.The precautionary evacuation order covered campsites, holiday villages, tourist residences and leisure parks around the resort of Lacanau, Gironde regional authorities said."We are at a point of fragility," Eric Brocardi, spokesperson for France's national firefighters federation, told BFMTV on Tuesday. "We will continue attacking this fire despite the forecast rise in temperatures."The blaze, raging since last week, has been wildly unpredictable, transforming at times into a self-feeding firestorm as it burned through an area four times the size of Paris and forced 220,000 people to evacuate homes and vacation accommodation.Even after 24 hours without further advance, officials warned that smouldering vegetation, rising temperatures and falling humidity could produce fresh outbreaks along the vast perimeter.Ninety-three firefighters have been injured while battling the blaze, the prefecture said.In Le Porge alone, west of Bordeaux, the municipal government said about 150 homes were destroyed.-Progress made on 2nd French fire-The overnight holding action in Gironde contrasted with a clearer sign of progress in neighbouring Landes, where thousands of evacuees were allowed home after a separate wildfire was fixed. The fire had displaced more than 30,000 residents and vacationers.About 15,000 people were authorized to return home Monday night in Sanguinet, Parentis-en-Born and some parts of Biscarrosse.Residents of Biscarrosse's aviation village and a large campground were among those allowed back, although several other neighbourhoods remained inaccessible.The return marked a significant step for communities that emptied as flames swept through forests and tourist areas during the height of the summer vacation season.Authorities warned that the Landes fire was not extinguished.Residual hot spots, wind and drought could cause flare-ups, and surveillance and damping-down operations were expected to continue for days or possibly weeks.The gains in both fire zones faced an immediate test Tuesday as temperatures began climbing again.France's national weather service placed Gironde under a yellow heat warning from midday, forecasting inland temperatures of 33 to 35 C. Southeast winds were expected across the department, with westerly sea breezes along the coast.More than 116,000 hectares have burned across France so far this year, according to the Interior Ministry.Western Europe recorded its hottest June on record, with extreme heat and widespread dryness helping fires spread and intensify in France and Spain, the European Union's Copernicus climate service said.With wildfires dominating headlines across parts of the world, many may be wondering whether this is the new normal. The CBC's Dan Burritt spoke with author John Vaillant — who wrote the award-winning book, Fire Weather — about this year's wildfires worldwide.Hundreds of firefighters backed by military emergency brigades and water-dropping aircraft continued battling several major wildfires in Spain, including the largest ever recorded in the fire-prone country.Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said Tuesday that nonstop work through the night left him "reasonably positive," but warned that conditions could deteriorate as temperatures rose again.Household objects and other debris are shown on the ground in a charred and burnt out area.Authorities have evacuated some 79,000 people and ordered another 30,000 to remain in their homes during an unprecedented crisis that prompted the government to declare a national emergency for wildfires for the first time.The greatest concern remained two large fires that had at times come close to merging into a single mega-blaze in wooded hills about an hour's drive west of Madrid.Another fire in the eastern province of Castellon also forced mass evacuations.Wildfires and extreme heat are wreaking havoc on wine regions from Bordeaux to B.C.A fire burning through hilly, rural terrain in Avila, west of Madrid, has become Spain's largest on record, scorching more than 500 square kilometres, the government said. That is five times the size of Barcelona."Look at how the valley is burned. Look at the houses, the people," said David Gonzalez, a 48-year-old gardener who used his van to deliver supplies to firefighters in Avila."We are feeling a lot of anger and helplessness. It's something inhuman," he said.A bright orange fire is shown near a firefighter.Fires have burned 1,530 square kilometres this year in Spain — six times the area scorched by blazes in the first half of 2025, said Sara Aagesen, the ecology minister."This doesn't have a precedent," Javier García, a firefighter, told The Associated Press by phone before starting his shift Tuesday.Garcia, part of one of Spain's emergency wildfire brigades, said his 40-person unit had been in Avila for three days, after previous deployments in recent weeks to fight fires in Guadalajara and Zaragoza."Until last year, I had never experienced fighting one big fire after another," the 43-year-old García said.Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called for a national pact to fight wildfires made worse by climate change.CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices·About CBC News
