“In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” (Matthew 28:1-2, 5-6).
It struck at 5:13 am on April 18th, 1906. Of course I am speaking of the great San Francisco earthquake that registered nearly 8.0 on the Richter scale. One report declared nearly 3,000 were killed in the quake caused by a major slip in the San Andreas Fault sending shock waves from Oregon to Los Angeles. Earthquakes! I am struck by the fact that the earth quaked when Christ came from the tomb, and it will quake plenty more times as His second coming draws closer, according to Matthew 24:7; Revelation 11:13,19 and 16:18). Today my heart’s desire is that the hundreds of “friends” who have subscribed to these Daily Prescriptions would truly have a personal relationship with the One Who not only died and rose again so that our sins could be forgiven but Who also is returning the second time to rule and reign as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
