“Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob.” (Psalms 114:7)
Thursday morning, at 5:39 local time, a 4.4
magnitude earthquake occurred in the Dead Sea region of Israel, an area that is
the deepest depression on the face of the planet. Though there were no reports
of injury or damage in Israel or neighboring Jordan, it is certainly worth
considering the meaning of the event, especially in light of other recent
earthquakes that have hit Israel and the catastrophic earthquake that hit a
struck Nepal a few months ago. Biblical scholars explain that the name of God,
“Elohim”, refers to the aspect revealed through nature and linked to judgment.
For early man, and even today, every natural phenomenon can be an awe inspiring
experience, an occasionally fearsome reminder of our mortality. An earthquake
is, quite literally, a moving experience.
El Jueves por la mañana, a las
05:39 hora local, un terremoto de magnitud 4,4 se produjo en la región del Mar
Muerto de Israel, un área que es la depresión más profunda sobre la faz del
planeta . Aunque no hubo informes de lesiones o daños en Israel o en la vecina
Jordania, sin duda vale la pena considerar el significado del evento,
especialmente a la luz de otros recientes terremotos que han afectado a Israel
y el catastrófico terremoto que afectó a Nepal golpeado hace unos meses.
Los eruditos bíblicos explican
que el nombre de Dios , "Elohim"
, se refiere al aspecto revelado a través de la naturaleza y vinculado a juicio.
Para el hombre primitivo, y aún hoy, cada fenómeno natural puede ser una
experiencia inspiradora, un recordatorio de vez en cuando temible de nuestra
mortalidad. Un terremoto es, literalmente, una experiencia conmovedora .
Scientists have noted that the Dead Sea
Rift has affected human civilization through time as well as the flora and
fauna of the region, causing migrations and creating water sources. However, it
should be noted that the location of Thursday’s earthquake is the precise
region of Jericho, known for its city walls that came tumbling down, and also
the area of Sodom and Gomorra. A biblical perspective certainly seems in order
when considering occurrences of geological proportions. The recent quake was a
result of tensions in the Dead Sea Fault which is part of the Syrian-African
Rift, extending from Syria to Mozambique. Experts have predicted that a major
earthquake could occur in the near future and local authorities have begun
projects to bolster building against such an event. Tectonic tension is
building and most geologists consider a major event to be inevitable.An
earthquake in 1837 in the area killed as many as 5,000 people. The last major
earthquake to hit the center of Israel was a 6.2 magnitude quake in 1927,
killing over 500 people and damaging sites, like the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher and al-Aqsa Mosque. On March 22, 2012, a 3.7 earthquake hit the exact
region as well.
Los científicos han observado
que el Mar Muerto ha afectado a la civilización humana a través del tiempo, así
como la flora y la fauna de la región, causando migraciones y la creación de
fuentes de agua. Sin embargo, cabe señalar que la ubicación del terremoto del
jueves (pasado) es la región precisa de Jericó, conocido por sus murallas de la
ciudad que se vino abajo, y también el área de ( la antiguas ciudades) Sodoma y
Gomorra. Una perspectiva bíblica ciertamente parece el fin al considerar casos
de proporciones geológicas. El terremoto
reciente fue el resultado de las tensiones en el Mar Muerto Falla que es parte
de la Falla Sirio-Africana, que se extiende desde Siria a Mozambique. Los
expertos han predicho que un gran terremoto podría ocurrir en un futuro próximo
y las autoridades locales han iniciado proyectos para reforzar edificios contra
tal evento. Tensión tectónica es la construcción y la mayoría de los geólogos
consideran un acontecimiento importante para ser inevitable.
Un terremoto en 1837 en la zona
mató a unas 5.000 personas. El último gran terremoto que golpeó el centro de
Israel fue un terremoto de magnitud 6,2 en 1927, matando a más de 500 personas
y sitios perjudiciales, como la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro y de la mezquita
al-Aqsa. El 22 de marzo de 2012, un terremoto de 3,7 golpeó la región exacta
también.
Prophecies connected to
earthquakes abound, seeming to emphasize their biblical significance,
especially in regards to End of Days prophecy:
Profecías conectados a
terremotos abundan, pareciendo enfatizar su significado bíblico, sobre todo en
lo que respecta al fin de los días proféticos:
“Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south…You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.” (Zechariah 14:3-5)
“The earth trembled and quaked, and the
foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.”
(Psalms 18:7)
“This
is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot
anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. In my zeal and fiery wrath
I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of
Israel. The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field,
every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of
the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the
cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.” (Ezekiel 38:18-20)
“I
looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and
their light was gone. I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the
hills were swaying. I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky
had flown away…” (Jeremiah 4:23-28)
“They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging
crags from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.” (Isaiah 2:21)
While Thursday’s earthquake caused no damage in
Israel, the geological occurrence has served as a wakeup call for many. Dr.
Shmuel Marco, who has spent many years studying the timeline of earthquakes in
the region, told the Jerusalem Post that geological
experts should take a hint from the Bible when predicting the next “big
one.”Marco noted that prophets became active a certain number of years after
major earthquakes. Major earthquakes were recorded in the Jordan Valley in the
years 31 BCE, 363 CE, 749 CE and 1033 CE. “So roughly,” says Marco, “we are
talking about an interval of every 400 years. If we follow the patterns of
nature, a major quake should be expected any time because almost a whole
millennium has passed since the last strong earthquake.”
Si bien el terremoto del jueves no causó daños en Israel , la
ocurrencia geológica ha servido como una llamada de atención para muchos. Dr.
Shmuel Marco, que ha pasado muchos años estudiando la línea de tiempo de los
terremotos en la región , dijo a The Jerusalem Post que los expertos geológicos
deben tomar una indirecta de la Biblia cuando la predicción de la siguiente
" grande".
Marco señaló que los profetas se convirtieron en activo un cierto
número de años después de grandes terremotos . Principales terremotos se
registraron en el valle del Jordán , en los años 31 antes de nuestra era , 363
CE , 749 CE y 1033 la CE. " Así que más o menos ", dice Marco, "
estamos hablando de un intervalo de cada 400 años. Si seguimos los patrones de
la naturaleza , un gran terremoto se debe esperar un momento porque casi todo
un milenio ha pasado desde el último terremoto fuerte " .
