The New Madrid Fault-line Prophecy mentions geophysical activity coming to America following its division of Israel and creation of a Palestinian State. Biblical eschatologists like John McTernan, modern prophets like Chris Reed, and the scientific community have mentioned this prophecy.
Dr. John McTernan has examined the connection between God’s judgments and Natural cataclysmic disasters, which occur when leaders attempt to divide the land of Israel. According to Genesis 12:3, God will bless those who bless Israel and He would curse those who curse Israel. According to Joel 3:2 ESV, “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land.” The U.S. has been under a curse for creating the Madrid Peace process on October 30 1991, which established worldwide pressure for the division of Israel in the creation of a Palestine state. The U.S. pressure to divide Israel has led to disasters in the perfect storm of 1991, hurricane Katrina 2005, and even the Joplin tornadoes where hundreds of tornadoes ripped through the Mideast. The U.S. pressure against Israel for the creation of a Palestinian state will cause one of the greatest disasters in U.S. history in the future New Madrid Fault line Earthquake, which lies at the center of the nation. If the U.S. divides the land of Israel the Lord will divide the land of America, according to Dr. John McTernan.
The New Madrid Seismic Zone, sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes in the southern and mid-western United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri. The New Madrid fault system was responsible for the 1811–12 New Madrid earthquakes and has the potential to produce large earthquakes in the future. Since 1812, researchers have recorded frequent smaller earthquakes in the area. Earthquakes that occur in the New Madrid Seismic Zone potentially threaten parts of eight American states: Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Mississippi. The 150-mile (240 km)-long seismic zone, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reel-foot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg. It is southwest of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Most of the seismicity originates between 3 and 15 miles beneath the Earth’s surface. The zone had four of the largest North American earthquakes in recorded history, with moment magnitudes estimated to be as large as 7.0 or greater, all occurring within a three-month period between December 1811 and February 1812, according to Wikipedia.
The largest NMSZ earthquake of the 20th century was a 5.4-magnitude quake on November 9, 1968, near Dale, Illinois. The quake damaged the civic building at Henderson, Kentucky and people felt the quaking in 23 states. People in Boston said their buildings swayed. At the time of the quake, it was the biggest recorded quake with an epicenter in Illinois in that state’s recorded history. In 2008 in the nearby Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, a similar magnitude 5.4 earthquake occurred with its epicenter in Illinois near West Salem and Mount Carmel. Scientists installed instruments in and around the area in 1974. They want to monitor seismic activity. Since then, researchers have recorded more than 4,000 earthquakes, many of which were too small to feel. On average, one earthquake per year is large enough to feel in the area, according to Wikipedia.
In a report filed in November 2008, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that a serious earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone could result in “the highest economic losses because of a natural disaster in the United States.” This seismic zone is predicting widespread and catastrophic” damage across Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and particularly Tennessee, where a 7.7 magnitude quake would cause damage to tens of thousands of structures affecting water distribution, transportation systems, and other vital infrastructure. The earthquake zone could result in many thousands of fatalities, with more than 4,000 of the fatalities expected in Memphis alone, according to Wikipedia.
The potential for the recurrence of large earthquakes and their effects today on densely populated cities in and around the seismic zone has generated much research devoted to understanding in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. By studying evidence of past quakes and closely monitoring ground motion and current earthquake activity, scientists attempt to understand their causes and recurrence intervals. In October 2009, a team composed of University of Illinois and Virginia Tech researchers headed by Amr S. Elnashai, funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), considered a scenario where all three segments of the New Madrid fault ruptured simultaneously with a total earthquake magnitude of 7.7. The report found that there would be significant damage in the eight states studied – Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee – with the probability of additional damage in states farther from the NMSZ. The Seismic Zone could affect people living in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. The cities of Memphis, Tennessee, and St. Louis, Missouri affected. The report estimated 86,000 casualties, including 3,500 fatalities, 715,000 damaged buildings, and 7.2 million people displaced, with two million of those seeking shelter, primarily due to the lack of utility services. Direct economic losses, according to the report, would be at least $300 billion, according to Wikipedia.
ANALYSIS
The New Madrid Fault-Line prophecy is not new and has been mention by many prophets since the early 2000s. It appears that someday in the future a U.S. President, who does not know the special relationship between Israel and America, will pressure the nation of Israel to divide God’s Holy land. When this U.S. action against Israel occurs, the U.S. will be devastated and its superpower status will disappear and the U.S. will continue on only as a major regional power taking orders from nations in Eu
