Thread: Matthew 27:51 records an earthquake at the time of Jesus's death.

28:2 has an earthquake (aftershock?) connected with the resurrection.

Of course, Jerusalem can be affected by earthquakes.

Is there any evidence for these ones?

deadseaquake.info says yes.

Through that site I got hold of the 2002 German doctoral dissertation of #ClaudiaMigowski

gfzpublic.gfz-potsdam.de/pubman/faces/v…

P. 82 of this dissertation has a chart of various earthquakes as reflected in sedimentary rock deformations.

The rather interesting one is that shown for (approximately) AD 33.

Now I know zip about geology, but I'd love anyone who does know about sediments to evaluate this research and its relevance to New Testament and give a geological dummy like me a sense of probability, error range, and relevance of these cores.

In grateful anticipation...

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while

Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One

Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra

Ever since God created the Earth in Genesis 1, He willed it to be ruled by Man whom He created; hence Adam was the first world governor & emperor and he was so, under God.

But by disobedience to God & obedience to Satan, Adam changed masters; and though the governing of the earth was still through human agency, Satan became the god of this world’s systems (2 Cor. 4:4).
