Are the Chile and Haiti Earthquakes Related to the 2012 Mayan Calendar?

Is it possible that the Chile earthquake coupled with the Haiti earthquake, are precursors of the coming 2012 Mayan calamity? A growing number of internet searches suggest that the thought is catching on.

Without a doubt, these two earthquakes have shocked and horrified the world like nothing else in recent history. The degree of damage and the astronomical loss of life is staggering. Many of us, including this author, know people who are living and serving in those countries. These catastrophies have hit very close to home.

But do these tragedies necessarily prove that something of a grander scale is coming in 2012? Are they a pre-cursor? Of course, only history will tell. But there are some things we can be sure of.

1. There is no proof that any calamity is going to happen in 2012.

2. The Bible is still true, no matter what happens in our hemisphere this year, or in 2012.

3. People who look to the "super natural" or the "occult" will always be fooled and deceived.

4. We should look to the infallible, inerrant, perfect Word of God (The Bible) for answers when tragedies of this nature occur.

5. Earthquakes have occurred from the beginning of time, and shall continue until Revelation 16:18 when THE BIG ONE hits, according to the Bible.

6. Instead of allowing our hearts to fill with fear and trepidation when "Acts of God" come our way, we should turn our hearts to the Lord Jesus, and give Him His rightful place in our life as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

There is hope and comfort in God's Word for times like these.
