UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WHICH IS BEFORE JERUSALEM ON THE EAST, AND THE MOUNT OF OLIVES SHALL CLEFT IN THE MIDST THEREOF. AND YE SHALL FLEE TO THE VALLEY OF THE MOUNTAINS FOR THE VALLEY OF THE MOUNTAINS SHALL REACH UNTO AZEL YEA, YE SHALL FLEE, LIKE AS YE FLED FROM BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE, AND THE LORD MY GOD SHALL COME, AND ALL THE HOLY ONES WITH THEE. Zechariah 14:4,5 *AN ANTHROPOMORPHISM INDICATING THE CATACLYSMIC EVENTS THAT WILL OCCUR, RADAK SUGGESTS THAT THE SPLITTING OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS A METAPHOR FOR THE TOTAL ROUTING OF THE INVADING ARMIES. LIKE AS YE FLED FROM BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE IN THE DAYS OF UZZIAH KING OF JUDAH. Zechariah 14:5 KNOW YOUR BIBLE! http://www.azamra.org/Bible/Zechariah%2013-14.htm THIS EARTHQUAKE IS ALSO MENTIONED IN AMOS 1:1, HASHEM WILL ROAR FROM ZION AND EMIT HIS VOICE FROM JERUSALEM, AND THE PASTURES OF THE SHEPHERDS WILL WITHER AND THE BEST OF THE FERTILE FIELD WILL DRY UP.* Amos 1:2 *THIS VERSE IS AN ALLEGORICAL PROPHECY CONCERNING THE DOWNFALL OF THE WICKED NATIONS, AND MAY BE SEEN AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES OF PROPHECIES THAT FOLLOW (Radak). IN EACH OF THE PROPHECIES THAT FOLLOW, THE THREE TRANSGRESSIONS ARE: THE THREE CARDIANL SINS: IDOLATRY, ADULTERY AND MURDER (Abarnel), OR THREE OR MORE OTHER INCIDENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATION BEING ADRESSED (Radak). - FOR THEIR DESPISING THE TORAH OF HASHEM AND NOT OBSERVING HIS STATUTES, THEIR FALSEHOODS THAT THEIR FATHERS FOLLOWED HAVE CORRUPTED THEM. - FOR THEIR SELLING A RIGHTEOUS MAN FOR MONEY, AND A POOR MAN FOR SHOES. AND THEY TWIST THE JUDGMENT OF THE HUMBLE (Amos 2:4-7) HEAR THIS, YOU WHO DEVOUR THE NEEDY, DECIMATING THE POOR OF THE LAND, HASHEM HAS SWORN BY THE GLORY OF JACOB, "I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL THEIR DEEDS." SHOULD NOT THE LAND QUAKE FOR THIS, AND ALL ITS INHABITANTS WILL BE DESTROYED? WATER (word of God) WILL RISE LIKE THE RIVER OVER ALL OF IT, AND IT WILL PUSH ASIDE AND SUBMERGE THE LAND AS DOES THE RIVER OF EGYPT. Amos 8:4,7-8 AND IT SHALL BE ON THAT DAY - THE WORD OF THE LORD HASHEM ELOHIM - THAT I WILL BRING DOWN THE SUN AT MIDDAY, AND WILL DARKEN THE LAND ON A DAY OF LIGHT, I WILL TURN YOUR FESTIVALS* *Christmas, Easter... INTO MOURNING, AND ALL YOUR SONGS* Nothing but the blood of Jesus... http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/n/b/nbtblood.htm INTO LAMENTATION, AND I WILL BRING SACKCLOTH UPON ALL LOINS AND BALDNESS UPON EVERY HEAD, AND I WILL MAKE THE LAND AS IF IN MOURNING FOR AN ONLY SON, AND ITS END LIKE A BITTER DAY. Amos 8:9-10 HASHEM WILL GO OUT AND WAGE WAR WITH THOSE NATIONS, AS HE WAGED WAR ON THE DAY OF BATTLE.* Zechariah 14:3 *At the End of Days, in the War of Gog and Magog, the nations will conquer Jerusalem and divide its spoils, BUT GOD WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE, AS HE DID WHEN THE EGYPTIANS PURSUED THEM TO THE SEA OF REEDS (Radak). ON THAT DAY, HASHEM SAVED ISRAEL* FROM THE HAND OF EGYPT (the enemy). AND ISRAEL SAW THE EGYPTIANS DEAD ON THE SEASHORE. ISRAEL SAW THE GREAT HAND (ARM OF ADONAI),* THAT HASHEM INFLICTED UPON EGYPT, AND THE PEOPLE REVERED HASHEM, AND THEY HAD FAITH IN HASHEM AND IN MOSES, HIS SERVANT. Exodus 14:30-31 *"Arm of the L-rd" – Revealing the Truth and Exposing the Lie! http://www.messiahtruth.com/arm.html GOD WANTED THE JEWS TO SEE THE FULL EXTENT OF THE SALVATION, SO HE HAD THE SEA TOSS THE BODIES OF THE DEAD EGYPTIANS ONTO THE SHORE. BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING - THE WORD OF THE LORD HASHEM ELOHIM - WHEN I WILL SEND HUNGER INTO THE LAND, NOT A HUNGER FOR BREAD NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT TO HEAR THE WORDS OF HASHEM. Amos 8:11

tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.15.08)
imad mugniyah was a "palestinian born in tyre", and when they buried him, there was a magnitude 5.3 earthquake, centred in tyre. coincidence? i don't think so. it seems that even the earth protested at having to take the body of such a murderous swine!
17. i was sleeping at the time
idan ,   haifa,israel   (02.15.08)
but i woke up at that exact same time not really sure why. i heard noises, i thought there's someone moving furniture in the apartment above me. when it got quite, i fell back to sleep. Only reading this now, do i realize what really happened. pretty spooky. i live on the first floor, we never feel the earthquakes, so this is a bit of an eye opener to me.

Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (02.15.08)
Must be worrying living close to places like Ness Ziona, Nahal Soreq or in Dimona ... what would happen after a Richter 8.0 quake I wonder. You don't just risk the roof falling in on you, but under the circumstances it might be preferable..

Most definitely they do. In fact, there was some rather interesting research done in California. The people who were investigating the apparent ability of animals to "predict" earthquakes monitored the lost pet ads in the newspapers and what they determined was that the number of lost pets increases significantly prior to a quake. The reason would appear to be that many of these cats and dogs are running away because they feel the earthquake coming. A lot of it has to do with the fact that they can sense the tremors before the earthquake actually manifests itself above ground. Not only that, but just prior to that terrible tsunami a few years ago, almost all the animals fled to higher ground, which is why there were virtually no animal carcasses found among all the human corpses.
