Earthquakes

[Irving]

If earth quakes start happening in Africa, then it is time to be concerned.

Unlike the mountains in CA, which were formed by one plate being forced under the other, the Rockies were formed by buckling in the center of a plate caused by pressure from both side. This buckling also puts the "hot liquid magma" closer to the surface. That's what Stewart's teacher was talking about.

Man, I watch way too much Discovery and History channels...

And that wouldn't be an earthquake? It would be a violent seismic event with a whole lotta shakin' goin' on, which is an earthquake IMO.

[Irving]

He is just saying that they were formed a little differently, not saying that there wouldn't be an earthquake.

Long story short,, I was in Alaska in '73, 9 years after the "big one" as they called it up there.. Looking out over Earthquake park onto the Cook inlet, The Guy that was friends with My brother,said that He just happened to be in the right spot at the time,, and saw the whole inlet empty when it hit..

I had to google the exact text so of course it's KJV and not something readible like NIV, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but my Father only." So every time I hear some televangelist say, "the end times are near, donate to my show so god likes you", I think of this verse.

Maybe not the day or hour but the approx time.

Matthew 24:34
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Thessalonians 5:1
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

Like any text, the meaning has to be taken in context of the whole.
