Obstacles, Tables For Destructive Earthquakes The Last 50 Years

Since August of 1999, several	major tremors have hit Turkey.
15,000+ people have lost their lives.	Thousands more have been injured.

As I concluded in part six, since the deadly temblor in
Turkey four months ago, others have continued to rock the
planet. Three days after the Turkey earthquake, the Central
American nation of Costa Rica also experienced a sizeable
tremor, as we see in this excerpt taken from a news report
released by the Associated Press on August 20, 1999:

----- Begin Quote -----

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.7 shook
Costa Rica early today. There were no immediate reports of
casualties or damage...The epicenter was 55 miles south of
San Jose, the capital. Temblors of magnitude 6 can cause
serious damage...A spokesman for the Costa Rican Red Cross,
Mario Vequez, said the organization also had no reports of
damages or injuries. Because of Costa Rica's vulnerability
to frequent earthquakes, most buildings in the country are
no more than three stories high, making them less prone to
damage. . .

This is not the only earthquake to strike since the deadly
temblor in Turkey. On September the 7th, another earthquake
struck the Mediterranean nation of Greece. The temblor had a
magnitude of 5.9 and was centered some twelve miles north of
Athens. Thus far, the number of casualties has been reported
at seventy-two. How ironic that Greece, which is Turkey's
enemy, and yet which assisted in earthquake relief in that
country in spite of that fact, was forced to deal with its
own tragedy. Following are several reports from CNN:

Death Toll In Athens Quake Rises To 72

Emergency teams worked through the night in Athens,
searching for survivors of a 5.9-magnitude earthquake, but
found few signs of life amid the rubble. Officials said
Thursday at least 72 people died in the quake, more than
2,000 were injured and dozens were believed to be missing.

Rescuers Work To Free Pinned Victims In Greece

In a scene reminiscent of the recent earthquake in Turkey,
rescue teams on Wednesday frantically dug under collapsed
buildings, trying to free pinned survivors following the
strongest quake to hit Athens in nearly a century. At least
52 people were reported dead, scores are believed trapped in
the rubble of the quake, and hundreds were reported injured.

Only six days after the tremor in Greece, on September 13th,
Turkey suffered another earthquake which is believed to have
been an aftershock resulting from the August 17th temblor.
The American Cable News Network, (CNN), issued this report:

Hundreds Injured In Turkey's Second Deadly Quake

Terrified residents jumped from windows Monday as a
5.8-magnitude earthquake jolted the same area of western
Turkey where more than 14,000 people died in an earthquake
last month. At least seven people were killed and more than
420 injured in the latest quake. In the hard-hit coastal
town of Golcuk, one building damaged in last month's quake
slid into the sea, apparently trapping four people who had
gone inside to salvage their belongings.

Taiwan Earthquake -- September 20, 1999
Beginning of Sorrows

2100+ Dead 8,000 Injured 100,000 Homeless
Beginning of Sorrows

Continuing with the string of major 1999 tremors, during
the third week of September, another powerful earthquake
shook the Southeast Asian island nation of Taiwan. Following
are a few excerpts from some of the reports released by the
American Cable News Network:

Aftershock Rattles Taiwan, But Survivors Still Emerging

TAIPEI, Taiwan (CNN) -- A major aftershock from Tuesday's
killer earthquake rattled Taiwan on Sunday, even as rescuers
continued to retrieve survivors of Tuesday's quake from
ruined buildings around the island.

The 6.5-magnitude aftershock rattled central Taiwan, leaving
two motorists dead after a landslide injuring at least 15.
Several buildings already damaged by Tuesday's earthquake,
which killed more than 2,000 people island-wide, collapsed
after the jolt.

Taiwan Begins Grieving Process Amid Search For Missing

Taiwan went into its usually joyous moon festival holiday on
Friday mourning its earthquake dead -- now over 2,100 -- as
hope faded for people buried under shattered buildings.
Rescue teams from round the globe braved dangerous
aftershocks as they worked to get to hundreds of people
buried under mounds of rubble since the earthquake struck
early on Tuesday while Taiwan slept. Officials said 2,131
people were now confirmed dead.

. . .

Fewer Survivors Found In The Rubble

TAIPEI, Taiwan (CNN) -- Two powerful aftershocks struck
Taiwan early Wednesday, sending panicked residents into the
streets and hampering rescue efforts from Tuesday's
7.6-magnitude earthquake that killed more than 1,800 people.

A 6.8-magnitude aftershock struck at 8:14 a.m. local time
(0014 GMT) and was centered in a mountainous area 9 miles
(15 kilometers) east of Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County,
according to the Central Weather Bureau. Nantou, located 120
miles (200 kilometers) south of the capital, Taipei, was the
epicenter of Tuesday's devastating quake.

The new tremor was followed about half an hour later by a
6.1-magnitude aftershock.

Death Toll Tops 1,450 In Powerful Taiwan Quake

State radio described it as the strongest tremor to hit the
island in more than a decade.

The quake struck at 1:47 a.m. (1747 GMT Monday). The U.S.
Geological Survey, which monitors seismic activity
worldwide, said the tremor had a preliminary magnitude of
7.6 and was centered in Nantou county, some 90 miles (150
km) southwest of the capital Taipei. Taiwanese officials put
the magnitude at 7.3.

As of this writing, the latest major earthquake has hit
western Turkey once again, adding at least several hundred
more people to the previous death toll. During the third
week of November, CNN issued the following reports:

Turks Flee Quake-Stricken Area As Toll Mounts

Terrified residents of northwestern Turkey are packing up
and leaving the town of Duzce, fearful that the second major
earthquake to flatten buildings in the area may not be the
last. Efforts continue to find survivors from the quake,
which has killed 452 and injured 3,000. Hundreds of those
who called Duzce home are heading out, fearing new
aftershocks: They leave behind exhausted rescuers searching
the rubble of the freezing quake zone into Monday afternoon.

Turkey Rushes Aid To New Quake Victims

Turkish officials rushed aid to the earthquake-stricken town
of Duzce on Sunday, trying to avoid the criticism that stung
the government after August's devastating tremors. Officials
said Sunday that 374 people had been killed and nearly 3,000
injured by Friday's magnitude-7.2 quake. Cold weather was
chilling hopes of finding more people alive in the ruins of
shattered buildings. The death toll could rise sharply,
officials warned, as emergency workers had yet to sift
through most of the rubble.

Huge Rescue Effort Mounted In Turkey; 247 Dead

A huge national and international relief effort was underway
Saturday after another powerful earthquake struck western
Turkey, killing at least 247 people and injuring hundreds
more. More than 700 people were injured and at least 102
buildings were destroyed, Turkey's Anatolia news agency
reported. The magnitude-7.2 quake struck Friday night and
was centered on the town of Duzce, 115 miles (185 km) east
of Istanbul, said Ahmet Mete Isikara, head of Istanbul's
Kandilli Observatory.

So as you can clearly see, 1999 has indeed had its share of
serious earthquakes. The London Telegraph summed up 1999
by calling it 'the year of the earthquake', as we see by the
following short excerpt taken from a news report released
the third week of October, 1999:

----- Begin Quote -----

From Colombia to India, Turkey to Taiwan, Mexico, and now
California, 1999 has been the year of the earthquake. More
than 20,000 people have died in six serious earthquakes this
year, with many thousands more left injured and homeless. . .

----- End Of Quote -----

In order to give you a clearer idea of how precisely Jesus'
words have been fulfilled in our modern times, following is
a table of some of the most notable earthquakes which have
struck the Earth during the course of this past century. You
will quickly notice that these temblors are truly occurring
throughout the world; thus fulfilling the Lord's words when
he said 'in divers places'. God is indeed shaking up the
Earth as was prophesied so long ago. Due to the total number
of significant earthquakes which have occurred during these
past one hundred years, I cannot possibly include them all
here. So as not to overburden you with statistics, I have
filtered the information I obtained, and am only including
those quakes which have resulted in a death toll of five
victims or more, or which have a magnitude of 7.0 or greater
on the Richter Scale. From all of the data I collected, if
we were to include those temblores which resulted in under
five known deaths, we could add at least an additional four
or five hundred victims to the tally below.

Before sharing this data with you, allow me to explain a few
additional points to you. Please note that the magnitudes of
these temblors, the number of people killed, and the number
of people injured, are based upon many hours of compiling
information from news reports, from seismographic reports
from the USGS, as well as from reports from various other
government agencies of different countries around the world,
such as the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural
Resources of Hannover, Germany. I can only share with you
the information that I find, and these different sources do
not always agree with each other. Not only that, but due to
the remote locations where some of these earthquakes occur,
or due to the government of the country involved where the
temblor occurs not being willing to release information, it
can often be difficult to obtain an accurate picture, and
statistics, of the event.

To add to our difficulties, please also note that different
countries use different systems of magnitude. For example,
the United States of America uses the Richter Scale. As I
mentioned in part six, the Unites States Geological Survey
classifies an earthquake as being a major temblor when a
magnitude of 7.0 or higher is recorded on the Richter Scale.
This number is based upon an average which is derived from
seismic information gathered from different stations around
the world. At the same time, a significant earthquake is
defined by the USGS as being one having a magnitude 6.5 or
greater on the Richter Scale, or one which results in
fatalities, injuries or substantial damage.

To complicate my research endeavors even further, in some
cases, a magnitude was provided in body wave motion, or mb,
while in others it was given in surface wave motion, or ms.
I also discovered that the USGS normally seems to assign
earthquakes with a higher magnitude than do other countries
around the world. In part, this seems to be due to their
interest in getting a figure to the mass media as soon as
possible before all of the data has been fully analyzed. Oft
times, they will later lower the preliminary magnitude, once
more data has become available from some of their seismic
stations; but in spite of this, it may still conflict with
the magnitude figure released by the local government where
the earthquake actually occurred.

Because of these various problems, compiling the following
information posed some challenges. As a general rule, when
you see only one magnitude listed below, it is more often
than not the figure provided by the USGS, based upon the
Richter Scale. Where a range is provided in which the two
figures are very close to each other, this is also usually,
but not always, based upon the Richter Scale. Where a range
has a lower number which is significantly different from the
higher figure, the higher figure is usually based upon the
Richter Scale, while the lower figure is not. In such cases,
simply understand that the actual magnitude was somewhere
between the two figures, regardless of which scale was used.

Please also be aware of the fact that on some dates, a land
location is provided which is closest to the earthquake's
actual epicenter, even if the earthquake did not occur in
that precise location, but rather in the nearby ocean or
sea. Due to their remote location, or due to the fact that
some of these areas were or are sparsely populated, neither
are fatalties and injuries provided for them. Being as this
list has been compiled from various sources, I have placed
the indicator 'Same?' next to those earthquakes which may be
referring to the same event. While there may be a day's
difference in some of them, please bear in mind that this
may be due to the international dateline, as well as when
and where the earthquakes are reported:

As we continue our discussion on earthquakes in part eight,
I will be sharing some additional statistical tables with
you which will cover the first half of our current century;
after which I will conclude our discussion on this topic by
making some additional comments which will reveal a few
facts which are not made apparent by these figures. I will
also be providing you with a pre-20th century earthquake
chart, which we will use to make some important comparisons
between the number of earthquakes which have occurred during
this past century, and those which have occurred during the
previous 1,800 years. As you will come to understand, this
chart will further strengthen the points I have been making
regarding the frequency of earthquakes in the Endtime. The
stark contrast between these two periods will be readily
apparent to anyone with an open mind and an honest heart.

After exposing a few additional excuses which some skeptics
may try to use in order to refute the solid information I
have provided, I will conclude part eight of our series by
turning our attention to the next part of Jesus' prophecy
concerning the period known as the 'Beginning of Sorrows';
that is, to pestilences. This will begin with a brief look
at verses concerning plagues, found in the Book of
Revelation. I trust that you will join me.
