This set of four images were taken from the New York Times. In church this week, our pastor mentioned the passage Matthew 24:7 which talks about the end times being signified partially by earthquake and famine. Whether or not these series of earthquakes is signifying that, it is a thought to ponder and to not take lightly. I chose to overly the verse in both Japanese and English, stating that this is a world event, effecting the Japanese first and foremost but the world as well. There is a new worldwide community that has been built up over the past few years because of all the natural disasters and the willingness of nations to help others in need. Although this tragedy in Japan is great, I do not think it will be long until the next one takes place. Because of this, our faith and the way we are living with our time left on earth should be handled with the utmost care and obedience to our Maker. (At least this is my view on the matter.)
