Are Earthquakes A Sign That The End Is Near? E-mail
Written by Steve Klein   

1906 San Francisco earthquake: buildings in shambles, debris everywhereMany who are misinformed or mistaken about the Scriptures believe that a worldwide increase in earthquakes is a sign that the end is near—that Christ will soon return to set up an earthly kingdom or to destroy the planet.
