A STRONG 6.3 magnitude quake has struck off Papua New Guinea, US geologists said today, but there has been no tsunami warning.

The quake struck at 9.15am local time, with its epicentre located 28 kilometres east of the town of Lae, and at a depth of 66 kilometres, the United States Geological Survey said.

I'd like to know if there are any statistics for instances of earthquakes hitting near major population centers in any given period of time. I know we have the statistics for the static number of earthquakes over long periods. This may be something we need to look at a little closer. :thumbsup:

The problem with this kind of analysis is

  • reporting bias - we have progressively added more and more sensors, under reporting large earthquakes in the past that went undetected, and
  • population growth - of course earthquakes these days are going to effect more people, simply because there are more of us. We wouldn't be comparing apples with apples if we looked at raw figures.

Earthquakes naturally cluster. The question we want to ask is.... is this an abnormal cluster in terms of frequency and magnitude?

How does the frequency line up with the historical data now andy?

Anything noticeable?

I think it merits me looking at it again! :thumbsup:

Really?..wow!

Keep me posted please..I am not convinced..... yet.

I'm desperately trying not to be overly insightful on this. One starts to wonder at what point we really are going to have to seriously rethink some of this though. Another 3 months, 6 months, 2 years? At this point I think we need to discern whether or not the Chile earthquake coming so closely on the back of the Haiti earthquake has heightened awareness, or if we are actually in some sort of upswing. I think you're right about the population explosion making it difficult to quantify as far as in terms of an actual human toll. What about indicators such as just near population centers relative to the population over, say, the past 100 years, etc. I may be just sort of rambling here, but the last three or four of these have really caught my attention. I'm feeling a lot less dismissive about this than I was say a month ago.

Well... I could do it. But before I do look at it again, lemme ask something...

How is your day to day life, and devotion to the Lord, going to change based on this?

If it came back that we are having a one-in-a-thousand year in terms of earthquakes... how will that change you? If it came back as a one-in-ten year, would that change anything?

As far as I see it, we are in the end times, we should always be ready.

Amen sister..I believe we have been in the last days for the last 2000 years.It would not change my thinking in an way.

:thumbsup:

I have never really been caught up in the "the end is near" talk.Thanks for the reminder.

(just out of curiosity though..let me know if you revisit the data by years end :thumbsup: )

Mat 24:42-44 MKJV

(42) Therefore watch; for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.

(43) But know this, that if the steward of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.

(44) Therefore you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes.

It wouldn't change anything with me either. These are interesting times though.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
