Christchurch Cathedral after the Devastating February 2, 2011 Earthquake
As recent as February 7, 2011, BibleSearchers-Destination Yisra’el’s blogsite was investigating how the finger of the Almighty of Israel was breaking up the tectonic plates of Planet Earth preparing the Land of Israel to be a new home for the Jews of the House of Judah, but also to reclaim, redeem and restore the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel back to the lands of their forefathers. As written in the blog titled, “Ten Planetary Tectonic Plate Shifts bringing Catastrophic Destruction to Planet Earth”:
Destination Yisra’el – “With the rise of the eastern edge of the Indo-Australian Plate approximating the western tongue of the Eurasian Plate jutting down towards Australia and accommodating the island kingdom of Sumatra and Indonesia, we would not be surprised that the Indo-Australian plate rise could possibly force the western edge of the “tongue” of the Eurasian Plate under the Australian Plate.
The Fault Line of the (KTT) Kermdee Tonga Trench
If such a shift did occur, and the Australian end of the plate shifted west, this vacuum would be felt all the way over to the pointing wedge pushing up towards Central America called the Kermadee Tonga Trench (KTT) where on the southeastern edge, the Island Nation of New Zealand resides, east of Australia.
And so it happened that on September 3, 2010, a 7.4 Mw Earthquake split the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, with devastating destruction. This third largest city of New Zealand sat below the fault line of the southeastern edge of the Kermadee Tonga Trench (KTT).
The lynchpin had been pulled and the domino effect of world tectonic plate adjustment began in earnest; or so we believe. How these tectonic plate shifts will unfold and what really may happen is for the G-d of Israel to know and our creative minds to watch, observe, and pray. If this process intensifies, great devastation will be felt around the entire Earth.”
On February 22, 2011, Christchurch, the 3rd largest city of New Zealand with 337,000 people began again to rumble and rock when a hard but shallow 6.3 Mw Quake with an epicenter only 3 miles from the city shattered this Island Paradise in the South Pacific. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake came from a slipping along the southeastern edge of the Kermadee Tonga Trench (KTT) where theIndo-Australian Plate meets the Pacific Plate.
From Destination Yisra’el’s Correspondent in Christchurch, this first report was sent:
Milly New-Zealand from Christchurch – “Ok, praise God it’s good to be alive! Gabby (our cat) hasn’t returned as yet; but we're hopeful. It was as if the Lord held me “in suspended animation” during this 6.3 Quake, while the walls billowed out of the cabinets and bookshelves dishes and bottled food everywhere. Within a mile’s circumference the structural damage is minimal; but our town now has the army to secure Christchurch’s “State of Emergency!”
Damages to Business Shops at Christchurch, New Zealand
It's really bad just 12 blocks away, sixty-six people are dead and over 200 people are trapped while it rained the later part of that evening. Most parts are without water, electricity, and in some cases “food and shelter.” Many of the shelters set in place are already filled up. There are inch gaps, about a foot deep and long, along several streets and sidewalks.
We don't have water and don't know when we will have water because of the damage. Although we’ve collected rainwater from every pan, bowl, and plastic carry bin we could find. Many grocery stores are closed; so food is limited to those who weren’t prepared. The after SHOCKS lasted all last night from about every 10-to-15 minutes. This Earth QUAKE is worse than the 7.1 we had on September the 4th; because it was closer, and not as deep, so it had a stronger more devastating effect. Thanks for ALL YOUR PRAYER AND THOUGHTFUL CONCERNS, MY DEAR FAMILY, AND FRIENDS!
P.S. ~ From the overall situation what comes to mind is: “OH SINNER MAN…WHERE’RE YOU GONNA RUN?!”
It came with a great shock as the largest earthquake in New Zealand’s history erupted during the busy lunchtime rush hour, when suddenly tall building began falling down, concrete streets and roads fragmenting and splitting in two, and it toppled the 19th century picturesque Iconic Spire of the Christchurch Cathedral in the famous central square.
This was not the first quake, but a continuation of a series of quakes that began six months ago, on September 3, 2010, when a 7.4 Mw quake struck in the middle of the night with an estimated $3 billion in damages, but no loss of life. This time it was different.
With over seventy five people reported dead and 300 missing, New Zealand’s deadliest earthquake recorded in over eight decades is now projected to be one of the most expensive catastrophes in modern world history. According to JP Morgan Chase & Co, the insured losses may total over $12 billion, as reported by Michael Huttner, claim analyst for JP Morgan. If so, it would rival the $19.9 billion loss in Houston, Texas when Hurricane Ike in 2008 stormed Galveston Island and set a wide path of devastation all the way to Chicago, Illinois. Reported as the hurricane that crushed the economy of the United States, Hurricane Ike was blamed for toppling the giant secondary insurer, AIG, and precipitated the Rosh Hashanah 2008 New York Stock Exchange crash bringing the world economy virtually to a standstill.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, a New York based trade group, according to the insurance data from Swiss Re, and reflecting 2009 U.S. dollars, the 2011 Christchurch New Zealand Quake’s damages are estimated at $12 billion loss. It would be ranked as the seventh most costly natural disaster forinsurers since 1970. The most expensive modern catastrophe was Hurricane Katrina, which cost $71.2 billion.
During the 6.3 Canterbury Earthquake and the resultant 12 foot tsunami that was triggered, Alpine exploration groups were witness to the calving of numerous icebergs off the nearby glacier. This iceberg calving was recorded as being the second largest event in Tasman Lake history.
According to nature watches on New Zealand’s Tasman Lake, the earthquake was observed to calve over 30 million tons of ice, 1200 meters across the face, 30 meters above the lake and more than 250 meters below the surface to the bottom of the lake and back for about 75 meters.
According to the Mirror News UK, in the article titled, "Is New Zealand earthquake linked to the mysterious deaths of more than 100 pilot whales?” it was also reported that the earthquake was linked probably to several beaching events of whales along the coastline of New Zealand.
Mirror News UK - “Twitter was awash today with theories that the bizarre deaths of more than 100 stranded pilot whales in New Zealand may have been a warning that an earthquake was going to hit. There have been TWO mass whale deaths on NZ’s South Island in less than three weeks.
In the latest bizarre incident on Sunday, less than 48 hours before the earthquake hit, a pod of whales beached themselves near Cavalier Creek on Stewart Island. Discussing the earthquake and whale deaths on Twitter, Kate Redman 'DolphinSeeker30' asked: “could the stranding of 100 pilot whales be linked to the earthquake?”
CodeNameTanya tweeted: “Over a hundred pilot whales beached themselves in New Zealand and then the earthquake. Wonder if tectonic plate shifts confuse whales. Hmmm.”
VeganWheekers asked: “Could there be a connection between the 107 whales that died on New Zealand beach yesterday and today's earthquake?” while TV New Zealand added: "has anyone noticed the correlation between beached whales and earthquakes?
Following the discovery of 30 stranded pilot whales on the island earlier this month, RadioLive breakfast show host Marcus Lush tweeted that an earthquake “greater than five” would hit in the next week."
Over and over the G-d of Israel is bringing to the forefront of his chosen children that the time of their redemption is at hand. Even in times of catastrophes, G-d restoration of Planet Earth in preparation for the revealing of His Messiah and His Kingdom of Heaven on earth will be fully revealed as written by His prophet in Revelation.
Is it not also amazing that the citizens of New Zealand are truly descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel represented by the House of Ephraim. As a colony of the Island Kingdom of Britannia, the Anglo-Saxon’s arrival as the Engel (Hebrew for Oxen, the tribal banner of Ephraim) and the Saki, the Persian name for the “sons of Isaac”, the islanders of New Zealand are now on notice that their day of redemption and reclamation back to the lands of their forefathers in Israel is soon to come.
