The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Swarm Quakes

San Andreas Fault


"And you will be hearing of wars an rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines, and pestilence's and earthquakes. "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs." Matthew 24:3-8

Scientists in Southern California have their eye on swarm of quakes in the desert. More than 450 quakes have hit near the Salton Sea since March 21.

The southern end of the San Andreas Fault hasn’t snapped in more than 300 years and seismologists worry small quakes could act as a trigger for the big one.

Seismologist Kate Hutton said, “It’s very close to the locked section of the San Andreas Fault. Anything seismically that happens there definitely gets our attention.”

Seismologists are installing 22 motion sensors on the 800 mile fault line that slices California from San Francisco to the Salton Sea.

A quake in the southern end of the fault could hit San Diego County within 60 seconds of rupture. Experts say everyone should have earthquake preparedness kits ready with plenty of food and water stocked up.
