  1. I was in a valley all morning with my dog. All I was thinking about was what if a mega-tsunami rolled through? I pondered my climbing abilities, maybe running to the highest rock, then I thought about how it would suck to be drowned while I'm out of breath. Then after three hours, I came home to see this news. I'm nowhere near Japan, BTW.

  2. These are the "Last" of the " "Last Day's" Matthew 24:3-14. Jesus said it would be this way during the time of his "Presence" and the "Conclusion" of this system of things. He said there would be "Earthquakes" and "Great Earthquakes" in one place after another during this time period. The extreme weather changes, flooding, famines, fires, Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Earthquakes are all part of the composite "Sign" he gave mankind to watch for before the End would come. The End is imminent. Seek God and his righteousness, seek meekness, seek Gods Kingdom while there is still time. Compare Zephaniah 2:3 and Matthew 24:14.

  3. I live here in Kyushu Japan and we felt it in Saga. My apartment shook for over a minute, was a very long quake

  4. There will be even more earthquakes, with even greater magnitude.
    All earthquakes are directly related to military operations and testing of nuclear weapons on the planet.
    The earth will repeat the fate of Phaeton.
    Humanity does not have a spare planet, and there is no way to leave the planet.
    Wait for the Apocalypse.

  5. I know this part of Japan very well…I worked there. close to the sea. some years ago in a wonderful hotel.. . Please stay safe beautiful Japan.♥🌈
