Powerful quake hits off eastern Japan coast, prompting tsunami warning

TOKYO, July 10 (Xinhua) — A powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the eastern Japan coast at 9:57 am (0057 GMT) local time Sunday, prompting the authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the northeastern coast.

If any of these changes will affect weather patterns and/or food production in any significant way is not clear.

Jesus, of course, warned about a time with such issues:

8 … And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be…troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

We may be at this prophetic point as all the earthquakes and other problems that have happened in the past year or so could be considered as “troubles”.

Perhaps the earthquake can serve as another wake-up call to the Japanese and others that the world can change very quickly and that the time to repent is now:

30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead. (Acts 17:30-31)

There are troubles and repentance is needed.
