What has happened in Japan over the past 10 days eclipse the horror of Australia and NZ combined. This not to lessen the pain experienced by other victims here in the South Pacific, but the scale and magnitude of the Land of the Rising Sun's disaster thwart all thus far in 2011

As if the earthquake wasn't enough then in rolled the seas, viciously stirred up by the movement of those plates we keep hearing of lately barely a thing could stand against it. It appears thousands have died in the murderous waters. It doesn't stop there though as the nuclear plants are in serious trouble and south in this troubled country a volcano has recommenced spewing out its muck up to 4 KLM into the atmosphere. This has to be a fearful time for all in that region!
At the end of the Second World War and with the Bible being scarce the country turned to the Western god of materialism and they have powered on ever since, with Japan being the 4th largest economy in the world today.
The enormity of the devastation can only but remind us - only in God is there found safety and only through the Book comes understanding of the times we live in. As an example are the verses found in Luke ch 21 v10-11 "nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places and fearful events and great signs in the heavens." More is found in v25-26 "There will be signs in the sun moon and stars. On the earth nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror and apprehension as to what is coming on the world as the heavenly bodies will be shaken"
Genesis ch 1v2 states "The earth was a chaotic mass and darkness was on the face of the deep" And who was to be found there? The Spirit of God. And in Him we find that safe place when all around is chaotic
