Jerusalem experienced an earthquake the day of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Matthew 27:51 - "And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split."
Another earthquake took place at the Resurrection. Matthew 28:2 - "And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. Others:
Matthew 24:7 - "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places." Jesus predicted this about the End Times.
Acts 16:26 -"About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly
there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison
were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s
chains came loose." This happened when Paul was imprisoned.
Revelation 8:5 - "Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake."A near future event of the End Times.
Asteroid in the Bible
Revelation 8:11 - "The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven,
blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the
springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the
waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water,
because it
had been made bitter." A near future event associated with the Day of
the Lord judgments. The Greek word for star in this passage is aster, for asteroid.
