The Historic Christchurch Cathedral before and after the February 2011 Earthquake at Christchurch
Since the riveting and terrifying February 22, 2011 Christchurch Earthquake hit the beautiful Garden of Eden like Island of New Zealand, the people have remained uneasy as aftershocks hit one after another. As the citizens of Christchurch seek to find solace and stability in their lives, it is obvious that the norm of life is over. With each aftershock, the fear of another big one looms heavily in their minds. Understandably, New Zealand is not a newcomer to earthquakes for they sit as a major partner on the “Ring of Fire” as that region known for its immense geological activity as it stretches from the isles of Indonesia around the entire Pacific Ocean to Chile at the Pacific tip of South America.
More so, nine out of every 10 earthquakes on Planet Earth are located within along the Ring of Fire. Yet, the KTT (Kermadec Tonga Trench) is the lynch pin that unlocks all the rest of the tectonic plates around the world. The slow grinding of the Indo-Australian Plate upon the Pacific Plate, but when it breaks, all history will be in the past.
The question, can the prophets of Judah give us any clues? We are reminded of the tectonic activity of the 6th Seal of Revelation where observers in Jerusalem will make this observation:
Revelation 6:12 – “Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal and there was a great earthquake. The sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red. The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.”
On Christmas 2004, a 9.3 Mw earthquake erupted along the Indo-Australian Plate and the coastline of Indonesia and Sumatra, the resultant tsunami of about 40 feet high left countries from Indonesia to the African coastline devastated as over 250,000 people perished. This earthquake literally moved the Island of Sumatra out of its place.
So how big an earthquake are we expecting to witness in the 6th Seal of Revelation? Some scholars suggest an earthquake up to a magnitude of 12-15. We have never witnessed an earthquake of this magnitude and lived to tell the story. So what can we expect to see at this time?
- The “Sun turned Black” suggest the onset of a “Nuclear Winter” from all the volcanic explosions that will erupt along the ring of fire.
- The “Full Moon” is when there is the greatest pull of the moon tides upon the earth, and a “Blood Moon” suggests a lunar eclipse or again the volcanic ash traveling the jet streams around the world.
- The “Stars fell from Heaven” suggests a partial pole shift, where the sudden crustal shift of the earth’s mantle over the magnetic mantle core will give the appearance of seeing the “Stars falling from Heaven” but actually the earth is rolling over in a pole shift.
- The “Sky receded like a Scroll being Rolled Up” suggests that for mountains and islands to be moved, the tectonic plates as part of the crust of the earth will be moving into a new era of catastrophic changes not seen since the patriarchs of old.
- The earth will truly shake and move. This will be associated with worldwide catastrophes on nations on all continents. The great cities will collapse and the pangs of childbirth will be felt by all the nations of the earth at one time. Fear and calamity will settle over all the inhabitants of the globe as the earth will groan under the terrestrial strain of crustal shifting, colliding and separating continents and magnetic and polar reversals.
- “Every mountain and island was moved out of its place” suggest a global earthquake possibly associated with the “fly-by” of the approaching Twin Star solar system called Nibiru, or Planet X. Will this also be associated also with the timing of the Mayan End of the World Age, when our Planet is reputed to go through the “Galactic Center of the Universe” in less than twenty four months.

Next to the City of Christchurch reside Three overlapping “Extinct” Volcanoes
According to local reports, citizens all over Christchurch were reporting smells of sulfur, and sand volcanoes sprouting everywhere. The multiple of earthquakes were suggesting that they were having earthquake swarms.
According to Earth Change blogger, Sandi Nicole of Christchurch reporting on March 3, 2011;
Sandi Nicole – “I personally have been mapping out every ‘aftershock’ since the September 7.1 quake, which was concentrated out west of Christchurch. After the 22nd 6.3 based in Lyttelton quake every aftershock has been based around what once was the Lyttelton crater…
Volcanoes of very fine silt have sprung up around the Christchurch area since the initial quake, some as high as 2 metres have been likened to termite hills. These cones seem be linked to the smell of sulphur in some places.
This reminded senior New Zealand residents of the 1931 report, titled “Volcanoes Erupt in Gardens” that was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald after the September 2010 quake of 7.1 Mw Quake called the Christchurch Darfield Earthquake that struck the South Island of New Zealand;
Mr. McCombe – “…The experience brought back memories of when Mr McCombe was a pupil at Parkvale Primary School in Hastings, on the North Island. The pupils were playing outside when the quake hit at 10.47am on February 3, 1931.
The ground started to shake and water started coming out of the swimming bath that had just been built. The teacher told us to get down on the ground and hold on to the grass,” Mr McCombe said. ”This quake would have been as big …It left me a bit shaky.” His son John, a photographer, and wife Cheryl, were on hand within minutes. ”It was very comforting …”
On leaving his house, Mr McCombe noticed an unusual sulphur smell. “When dawn broke, outside our place on the estuary were literally thousands of small volcanoes. They were mini-volcanoes, with craters, which had popped up all down Rocking Horse Road and in people’s gardens, including two in our driveway.” The mounds oozed a grey, cement-like material and were still visible yesterday…” Read the full account here.
The Volcano experts were more prosaic but descriptive of the differences of the subductive forces that affected differently the North and the South Islands of New Zealand.
Infohelp Earthquake – “Any new magma chamber local to the South Island would probably appear south of this Pacific Plate land mass, where its subductive force is not restrained by the Australian plate at the Southern Alps - west of Foveuax Strait, behind the deep quake Fjordland front. It is the magma chambers more active around the North Island, under Australian Plate subductive force, that present true killer risk”
The most sobering of facts concerning the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake was the Russian Space Forces Command (VKS) memo report that “the catastrophic 6.3 magnitude earthquake that destroyed New Zealand’s second largest city of Christchurch on 22 February was another “failed test” of a United States “Electromagnetic Earthquake Weapon” similar to the one that reputedly destroyed the Caribbean island nation of Haiti last January (2010) killing over 500,000 people.”
Purported to have originated from “Project Wormwood”, the joint Australian-US Planetary Defense Base adjoining the site of the Learmonth Solar Observatory, it stated that after its warm-up, a 4.7 Mw tremor was created in the Northern New Zealand Territory and the next day, a second “Electromagnetic Earthquake Test” was directed towards the Tasman Glacier in the Glacier region of New Zealand’s Southern Alps about 120 miles from the devastated city of Christchurch.
Unknown to all, at the site of the targeted region was an unknown fault line, as reported by the London’s Independent News Service:
London’s Independent News - “The devastating earthquake that tore through Christchurch on Tuesday is the product of a new fault line in the Earth’s crust that seismologists were previously unaware of.”
Plate Tectonics of New Zealand
Yet, this earthquake was similar to what happened after the Haitian Earthquake, reported by the Telegraph UK, that was directed at the newly uncovered fault that merged with the more well documented Enriquillo fault nearby, according to Eric Calais, the professor of geophysics at Purdue University in Indiana.
Even stranger that at the time of the quake, a United States congressional delegation sent to participate in the trade and global security meetings of the Trans-Pacific Partnership held in New Zealand had just left the Christchurch airport two hours before the earthquake hit. Yet the Washington Post reported that United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Deputy Administrator Timothy W. Manning was “left behind” and immediately began the coordination of America’s response to the earthquake disaster only two hours later:
Washington Post – “Talk about being in the right place at the right time: Manning is a trained geologist, paramedic and firefighter -- the perfect combination for earthquake response. He's there as part of an American delegation visiting for trade and global security talks and to review the country's cleanup efforts following the September 7.0-magnitude quake.”
This was a similar response to the earthquake at Haiti where even before the earthquake struck, General P.K. Keen, the Deputy Commander of the Southern Command was amazingly already in Haiti and equally prepared to begin the coordination of America’s response to Haiti’s earthquake disaster as documented by CNN News:
CNN News – “The U.S. Southern Command is leading the Department of Defense's response. Gen. P.K. Keen, deputy commander of the Southern Command, was in Haiti when the quake struck and has seen thesituation at the airport.”
If we search the BibleSearcher’s archives we remind ourselves that at the time of the 2004 Great Earthquake and Tsunami at Sumatra and Indonesia, the Province of Sumatra was in the grips of a civil war. This oil and gas rich land was also a plum ready to be picked for harvest as a non-integrated nation in which the globalists needed to bring it into the fold of the integrated nations of the world because it was being threatened to be taken under the control of the radical Islamic fundamentalists. As BibleSearchers reported in the sub-article titled, “The United States led Humanitarian Relief – Was it a Military takeover of the Moslem Indonesian Peninsula?”
BibleSearchers Reflections – “Following the impact of the great wake (Tsunami), the United States military was rapidly thrust in the leading role of organizing one of the greatest humanitarian mission in history. Former Presidents George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton were put in the official position to raise humanitarian aid for the nations affected by the tsunami. This highly visible international position may potentially vault Bill Clinton to the position as the eighth Secretary General of the United Nation or as the leader of a new World Federation of Nations…
Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Rusty Blackman, commander of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force in Okinawa was designated to lead the emergency relief program…The command center for humanitarian operations was out of the American Naval base in Diego Garcia, the southernmost island of the Chagos Archipelag, 1000 miles south of India and 2000 miles from the earthquake site.
Just behind the landing of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force, the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in Hong Kong was diverted to the Gulf of Thailand…There were 25 additional helicopters on the USS Bonhamme Richard which were sent to the Bay of Bengal with seven ships, 2,100 Marines and 1,400 sailors with 4 Cobra helicopters for reconnaissance surveillance.
To assist were to be seven ships designed to produce 90,000 gallons of fresh water daily. Five were already ‘pre-positioned’ in Guam and two in Diego Garcia. A field hospital ship was also sent to the area from Guam.
In all these humanitarian expeditions, it has come with the appearance of a military take-over according to many observers. It was in many observers’ eyes none other than a show of force to establish an American hegemony presence in the region that is over 65 % Moslems.
From reliable reports, 93% of the United States Navy were on the high seas at the time. America had fleets of ships ready to be dedicated for the purpose of rendering humanitarian aid to countries in need, with hospital ships, water producing ships and division of troops ready for deployment. In the light of the rest of the global events, were they there to liberate, relieve suffering or to carry the banner of freedom and democracy to a country that is in an ideological war with America?”
Yet, the worst fear back in New Zealand was the spectrum of an even larger quake in the future, and here is where a mixture of science and prophetic speculation was now coming into full force on the islands. According to reporter Tamara McLean out of Auckland, Australia we read of the popular long-range weather forecaster Ken Ring who as a New Zealand mathematician predicted the deadly Christchurch quake when he wrote a report claiming it would strike in two weeks. Now “Moon Man” as he is called, was predicting that according to his moon, sun, and tidal wave activities that form the basis of his theories. As reported in the article titled, “Kiwis terrified by fresh earthquake prediction”;
Tamara McLean – “A New Zealand mathematician who predicted the deadly Christchurch quake has terrified Kiwis with news another will strike the city in two weeks. Popular long-range weather forecaster Ken Ring is warning that a second jolt will hit the already-devastated South Island city on March 20 (2011).
Mr Ring, who lives in Auckland, uses the moon, sun and tidal activity for the basis of his theories, which have been dismissed by scientists. His warning is clear.
Ken Ring (Moon Man) - "If I lived in Christchurch, I'd get out for a few days over that time, go camping, visit friends, just get out and keep safe. And if you don't live there, stay away."
His frightening words have panicked New Zealanders, with hundreds using Twitter and Facebook to brand his theories as "crackpot", "wacky" and scientifically baseless.
Despite this, his following is substantial, with more than 5000 New Zealanders - including farmers, gardeners and even disaster specialists - signed up to receive his weather predictions. On Valentine's Day, he issued a tweet stating that conditions were "potent" for a quake in Christchurch between February 15 and 25.
A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck on February 22, killing as many as 240 people.
Eerily, he warned people to watch for "special signs", such as silent birds or scared pets, and said "stay away from old cracked buildings". His words have sparked ferocious debate. Some, like prominent current affairs host John Campbell, believe his frightening words prey on vulnerable people struggling to recover in the wake of the disaster.
But when Campbell threw tough questions at Mr Ring on national television on Monday, giving him no chance to answer, hundreds of Kiwis came to the defence of the so-called Moon Man. Campbell was forced to apologise, admitting he didn't believe Mr Ring's theories.
John Campbell - "But many people I've spoken to do - and Mr Ring's predictions terrify them," the broadcaster said, before begging him to "stop scaring people".
And scaring them he is. Elderly Australian Gloria Cotton survived the quake and said that predictions of another were "ghastly". "Tell them to stop, please just stop," the 84-year-old said from her damaged Christchurch home. Life is so hard anyway. We can't cope with hearing about another one."
Mr Ring for his part said he believed most people would rather be safe than sorry.
Ken Ring (Moon Man) - "If the information was there wouldn't you rather have access to it? How terrible would it be if I knew all the seismic signs were there and I didn't say anything? I couldn't live with myself. If you'd rather not know, then please don't read it."
The scientists, however, remain unconvinced. Dr Mark Quigley, senior lecturer in active tectonics and geomorphology at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, said Mr Ring's assertions were "ludicrous".
Dr. Mark Quigley – “Vague quotes about dates of 'increased' activity plus or minus several days, without magnitudes, locations, and exact times do not constitute prediction. This is opportunistic and meaningless self promotion during a time of national crisis. I won't be going anywhere in late March."
Such will be the portents of the future, as the “Appointed Hour” given by the prophets of old of Judah and Israel will unfold with literal and terrifying reality. The motto given by Yahshua the Messiah is “Watch and be Ready” Most interesting is the fact that almost all of the citizens of New Zealand who are descendants of the English first settlers on these islands, are also descendants of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel.
As members of the Tribe of Ephraim, it may be their prophetic reality that before the “Big One” on the day of the appearing of the returning Messiah son of David, they will already have been relocated to the Land of Israel by HaShem’s direct intervention.
It is there in Shomron (Samaria), Galilee, Lebanon, and even over to Syria and Jordan that the G-d of Israel has given his prophetic based promise that upon the honor of His Holy Name that He will restore the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel to their ancestral homelands. Why? Samaria is the tribal homeland of the Ephraimites of the House of Joseph. To the English settlers of New Zealand, this is your prophesy;
Ezekiel 36:22-23, 24-28 (parts); 33- - “Therefore, tell the house of Isra’el that Adonai Elohim (L-rd G’d) says this: I am not going to do this for your sake, house of Isra’el, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have been profaning among the nations where you went. I will set apart my great name to be regarded as holy, since it has been profaned in the nations – you profaned it among them. They will know that I am Adonai,’ says Adonai Elohim, ‘when, before their eyes, I am set apart through you to be regarded as holy.
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all countries, and return you to your own soil. Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you…I will cleanse you from your uncleanliness…I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside your…You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your G-d…
When the day comes for me to cleanse you from all your guilt, I will cause cities to be inhabited and the ruins to be rebuilt. The land that was desolate will be tilled, whereas formerly it lay desolate for all passing by to see. They will say, ‘the land that used to be desolate has become like Gans Eden (Garden of Eden)…Then the nations around that remain will know that I, Adonai, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted what was abandoned. I, Adonai, have spoke; and I will do it!”
