The nation of Chile has been struck with an 8.8 magnitude earthquake. This devastating earthquake comes just a month and a half after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake left thousands dead in Haiti. The Chile earthquake is tied for the fifth strongest since 1900, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The current death toll is 723 and rising. The nation’s president, Michelle Bachelet, stated, “We're facing an emergency without parallel in the history of Chile. The passage of time has demonstrated that we're facing a catastrophe of unforeseen intensity, one that caused damages that are going to require immense, united efforts from all sectors of the country -- private and public”. This quake provides another reminder of the signs that Christ mentioned would come upon the earth just prior to Him returning to earth to establish His throne in Jerusalem.
