Earthquakes Shake Both Sides of the Ring of Fire

Two large earthquakes rocked countries on opposite sides of the “Ring of Fire”.

A 7.1 earthquake shook Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific.  The earthquake did not cause any major structural damage or injuries because of it’s location however it was felt for hundreds of miles.  Due to the depth of the earthquake there was no tsunami warning issued for this quake.

On the opposite side of the Pacific tectonic plate lies Chile who suffered a 6.5 earthquake on the same day.  The quake did not cause significant damage although it had people fleeing their homes.  Chilean officials evacuated roughly 485 miles of coastline because of the remote risk of a tsunami.

Electricity and phone service was out for a large part of the capital city of Santiago.

Both locations were on the increasingly active “Ring of Fire” that runs from off the eastern coast of Australia, around the Pacific Ocean including the west coast of the United States and through the western coast of South America.  Almost 90% of the world’s earthquakes and 80% of the world’s largest earthquakes happen along the “Ring of Fire”.

  1. THESE ARE SIGNS OF THE END TIMES. THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EARTHQUAKES BUT THERE IS AN INCREASE AND IN STRANGE PLACES, UNEXPECTED PLACES, NEW PLACES. IT’S TIME TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD. IT’S TIME TO LIVE WHAT WE PREACH, INCLUDING PREACHERS. WE DON’T KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR WHEN JESUS IS COMING BUT WE CAN LIVE LIKE HE’S COMING RIGHT NOW EACH DAY OF OUR LIVES AND HONOR GOD BY LIVING HOLY LIVES AND WALKING IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD. JOHN 3:16

  2. Jim, I love your show. Always have. I think you were given a bum rap and I trust you are happy with where you are in life now. I like your show so much that I get up at 4:30AM to watch it here in Central Florida.

    I believe in most of the things you preach, but I have a opportunity (problem) with some of the comments. As an example, I believe that the earthquakes in the USA are not because of something we did against Israel. It is just nature. Always has been. We had earthqukes long befor our two great nations were formed and will contine to have them.

    I hope I haven’t offended anyone, just stating an opinion.

    Keep up the great work you do in helping others, especially small children. God bless you.
