A 7.0 magnitude earthquake about two months ago (January 12, 2010) had killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti, and in just more than a month later (February 27, 2010), an 8.8 magnitude earthquake — the fifth-strongest since 1900 —had killed more than 900 people in Chile. In less than a week, in March 04, 2010, at around 8:20 A.M., (local time), it was then followed by another earthquake at the magnitude of 6.4 hitting the southern part of Taiwan. Four days later, on Monday, March 08, 2010, at 4:32 A.M., (local time) a strong pre-dawn 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.

The World Health Organization tallied more than 453,000 deaths from earthquakes from 2000 to 2009, up markedly from the previous two decades. In the 1970s, however, a massive earthquake in China killed about 440,000 people.

Where will the next earthquake be striking and how many people more are going to be killed? This is a billion dollar question that only God knows the answer. So, let’s be ready again and pray that when it strikes us, God will save us.
