2010: The Year of The Natural Disaster

This is irresistable.

Time Magazine reports:

This has really been a banner year for catastrophe. Nearly half a million people have been killed in 2010 as a result of natural disaster. Now, despite the typical “end is nigh” rhetoric that is shouted from mountaintops every time tragedy strikes, our home planet is just really being herself and doing what she’s been doing for the last 4.5 billion years.

Sound familiar? It should.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation (2 Peter 3:3-4).

These are not normal natural disasters but escalating supernatural calls to repent and believe the Gospel (2 Peter 3:9) before the Last Disaster (v.10).

    Why do you say that it is escalating?

    Seth: Stats over the last 100 years show increasing numbers of these “natural disasters.” I believe the Bible leads us to expect that as well. When I finish my ebook “Endtimes Q&A” I’ll send it to you!

    “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9David, you reference this marvellous verse as the “gospel”. I’ve nver thought of it in that context – but of course this is the very essence of the gospel.
