Quakes in various places… Jesus

The Japan Meteorological Agency pinpointed the epicenter 80 kilometers east of Aomori Prefecture in the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of about 50 kilometers, striking at 11:15 p.m. local time. Tsunami warnings prompted 90,000 people to evacuate coastal areas in Aomori, Iwate, and Hokkaido, but waves stayed small at 70 centimeters max, with all alerts lifted by morning. Minor injuries affected 23 people, mostly from falls, alongside cracked roads, brief fires, and power outages; Japan’s strong building codes and quick response kept damage low. -Grok

7.0 Earthquake Rattles Alaska-Yukon Border on December 6, 2025

The earthquake struck 60 miles north of Yakutat, Alaska, at a shallow 10-kilometer depth along the Fairweather Fault system. Shaking lasted up to a minute, strong enough near the epicenter to knock items off shelves, but the remote location meant no injuries or major damage. Aftershocks continued into December 7, with nearly 180 above magnitude 3 recorded, and officials confirmed no tsunami risk. Alaska’s rugged terrain makes such events common, and experts urge ongoing preparedness. -Grok

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

President Trump, the President of Peace

Today, President Trump participated in a historic signing ceremony with the Presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, bringing an end to one of the world’s longest-running conflicts after more than thirty years. President Trump also announced that the U.S. signed bilateral agreements between the Congo and Rwanda, that will expand American access to critical minerals and open the door to new economic opportunities for U.S. workers and industries. -RNC

Luke 21:11b …and in various places famines and pestilences. Jesus

Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

July 2019: The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). This is the fifth time in history such a declaration has been made.

The concern is a case of Ebola has been diagnosed in Goma, Congo. The city has a population of around two million people (2,000,000). The location is essentially on the equator.

“It is important that the world follows these recommendations. It is also crucial that states do not use the PHEIC as an excuse to impose trade or travel restrictions, which would have a negative impact on the response and on the lives and livelihoods of people in the region,” Professor Robert Steffen, Chair of the Emergency Committee.

Per Mayo Clinic, the Ebola virus causes severe bleeding, organ failure, and can lead to death. Initial symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain, and chills. Later, a person may experience internal bleeding resulting in vomiting or coughing blood.

Pain areas: in the abdomen, chest, joints, or muscles.

Whole body: chills, dehydration, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, malaise, or sweating.

Gastrointestinal: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or vomiting blood.

Also common: coughing up blood, eye redness, headache, mental confusion, red spots on skin, or sore throat.

Universal precautions, wash your hands! Take a shower or a bath daily. Wash your dirty clothes. We can save lots of time and billions of dollars in healthcare expenses. The Bible and Moses have been recommending this for approximately 3,500 years. 

Leviticus 15:11 Likewise, whomever the one with the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

Let me be perfectly clear. The events in the Democratic Republic of the Congo do not point to Revelation 6. We are not there. Granted, these events are not good news. But when we get there, one quarter (1/4) of the earth will be affected. 1/4 of 7,700,000,000 = 1.925 billion! We will not have to ask, “Are we there yet?”

For now, health experts state this is not an international crisis or global emergency. Ninety (90) percent of the cases acquired have been deadly.

To make matters worse, local militia groups are attacking hospitals and health care providers in the region. These groups believe foreign workers are bringing the Ebola Virus to their home land.

Some locals deny the reality and existence of Ebola. Violence combined with ignorance has hampered efforts to slow and stop the virus.

Let me be perfectly clear. The events in the Democratic Republic of the Congo do not point to Revelation 6. We are not there on the timeline. But when we get there, one quarter (1/4) of the earth will be affected. 1/4 of 7,700,000,000 = 1.925 billion! We have never seen anything of this scale. And this will be only the beginning. We will not have to ask if we are in the Tribulation…
