Earthquake
In the Bible, earthquakes often symbolize divine intervention, judgment, or significant shifts in the spiritual and physical realms. The Hebrew term for earthquake is "ra'ash," which conveys a sense of shaking or trembling. Earthquakes are frequently associated with the presence of God or the manifestation of His power. For instance, in Exodus 19:18, when God descends upon Mount Sinai to give the Law, the mountain shakes violently, highlighting the awe and majesty of God's presence. Similarly, in the New Testament, an earthquake accompanies the resurrection of Jesus (Matthew 28:2), signifying a monumental event in salvation history.Moreover, earthquakes can serve as warnings or signs of impending judgment. In Amos 1:1, the prophet speaks of visions that include earthquakes as a prelude to God's judgment on Israel and surrounding nations. The book of Revelation also depicts earthquakes as part of the apocalyptic events marking the end times (Revelation 6:12; 11:13), indicating that such natural phenomena are not merely geological occurrences but are deeply imbued with theological significance, reflecting God's sovereignty and the unfolding of His divine plan.

An Earthquake in Jerusalem
By Warren Wiersbe16K36:27PSA 8:2ZEC 9:9MAT 21:1COL 2:14In this sermon, the preacher discusses the scene of Jesus entering Jerusalem on a colt, with the crowd laying down their garments and palm branches in his path. The Roman soldiers present are skeptical and view it as a mere demonstration. The crowd, however, sees hope in Jesus, as they were living in a hopeless situation under Roman rule and with a corrupt temple.
