Christchurch earthquake: 'Dead bodies lying around'
http://www.nzherald....jectid=10708013

New Zealand is a little country made up of two Islands...The North and the South . Christchurch is a city in the south Island that has been plagued with many aftershocks since the last quake in September of 2010 at 7.2 on the Richter scale. In that quake...no-one was injured.

Today's quake however, was near the city center and many were killed.

I cannot help but feel...the wider spiritual significance that this quake has, in relation to the Body of Christ. There is shaking going on both physically and spiritually.

I beleive its a sign, a place called Christchurch, (the 'church' of Christ refers to the children of God in the bible') and no one got harmed and I pray for God to protect the 'body' of Christ everyday, thats why its significant to me, I've been thinking this all day then Angelina posted about the date 2.22.11 and it felt like it was confirmation that it was a sign. About the date I dont know if it has any significance, but God speaks to me in numbers sometimes and I added the numbers and they equal '8' which means 'new beginnings' to me..
Just a thought^

Also I looked up the meaning of the number ten because in 02/22/2011 adds up to ten and the meaning of ten to me that I got from online is that it starts a 'new order' of numbers, like a new generation of number ('1-10'; 11-20''), and ten also implies completeness of the old 'order, '1-10'.
Looked up the definition for the word order it and said 'a command given by a 'superior' that must be obeyed.
Just thoughts..

I've heard reports on other forums that NZ was affected by this earthquake because of their political stance toward Israel.

What a load of rubbish! The Israel of the bible and Political Israel of today...are not the same! :huh:


According to traditional Jewish law, a Jew is anyone born of a Jewish mother. Our Prime Minister, John Keys [born in NZ] is of Jewish ancestry. His mother is an Austrian Jew.

Blessings!!!

Latest update:

Aide workers from Australia and the United States are on there way to Christchurch this morning...

"When kingdoms have crumbled for the last time, His mercy endureth forever.

When dictators have waged their wicked battles for the last time, His mercy endureth forever.

When the stars have fallen like untimely figs from a tree shaken by the wind, His mercy endureth forever.

When the sun refuses to shine and the moon has turned as black as sackcloth of hair, His mercy endureth forever.

When people shall die no more and cemeteries shall not dot the horizon, His mercy endureth forever.

When shoulders shall never stoop, nor brows wrinkle, nor faces become furrowed, His mercy endureth forever.

When all of us awake in His likeness to live forever around His throne, His mercy endureth forever.

Blessed be God! His mercy endureth forever!" :)

- Jack Hyles

Thats good, in the midst of all of this people can still see the good thats going on, like the quote 'sometimes God puts us on our backs so we can look up.' Its good that God gets praise even in times like these.

Very glad you're ok! Could you shed some light on the NZ "political stance" toward the Nation of Israel? Thanks.
