Second Turkey Earthquake, Shaking Earth and Sea

Link: Earthquake Shaking (BBC News)

February 20, 2023 (Day 51): Turkey was shaken by a major earthquake on February 20, 2023 for the second time since February 6, 2023 when two major earthquakes struck. The latest earthquake at 1704/29 GMT was magnitude 6.3 in southern Turkey near the Mediterranean, north of the Syria border. It was followed three minutes later by a 5.8 magnitude aftershock and other aftershocks. At least 8 people were killed and over 200 injured. The previous major earthquakes on February 6 were magnitude 7.8 in South-Central Turkey and a 7.5 magnitude earthquake nine hours later near Ekinözü, Turkey. The death toll from the previous earthquakes in Turkey and Syria was over 44,000.

The Turkey earthquake of February 20, 2023, Day 51 was linked to the shutting down of worship services to the general public at Asbury University and to the curse of the Green Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF. Late on February 19, Asbury President Dr. Kevin Brown announced that Feb. 20 would be the last day the general public could attend the outpouring services at the university. Subsequently, the Turkey earthquake occurred at 1204 PM EST (1704 GMT) on Feb. 20. The Green Comet was beside Orion, the Mighty Warrior, symbolizing the Lord Jesus Christ at the Second Advent.

The Lord will destroy the Kingdom of Satan's World at the Second Advent as the "stone cut out without hands" that breaks up the feet of clay of the image seen by Nebuchadnezzar (ref. Daniel 2:34, 35). The buildings collapsing in the Turkey earthquakes symbolized the break up of the foundations and subsequent destruction of the Devil's World. The feet of pottery and iron of the image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream correspond to foundations of reinforced concrete (steel and concrete).

The first Turkey earthquakes of Feb. 6 occurred on the Full Moon, where the Moon symbolizes the congregation of believers, such as those who gathered at Asbury University on Feb. 8. The second group of Turkey earthquakes occurred on Feb. 20 on the New Moon, for a darkened or unenlightened congregation. This was the last day that the general public was allowed to worship at Asbury University during the current outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The two groups of Turkey earthquakes on Feb. 6 and 20 symbolize the shaking of Earth and Heaven in the two Advents of Jesus Christ as the High Priest of the New Covenant to the Church (Hag 2:6, 7; Heb 12:26, 27). Earthquakes occurred during the First Advent of Christ that woke the dead (Matt 27:51-52, 53, 54; 28:2; Isa 26:19). Earthquakes will also herald the Second Advent (Rev 6:12; 8:5; 11:13; 16:18), and Heaven will be shaken in the Tribulation prior to the Second Advent (Rev 11:19).

Spiritual Meaning

The terrible earthquakes in Turkey and northern Syria on February 6 and 20, 2023 were Judgments from God. They were associated with the curse of the Green Comet, the blessing of the Spiritual awakening at Asbury University, and the shaking of Earth and in Heaven associated with the First and Second Advents of Christ.

The Green Comet symbolizes the unbeliever whose life is under the power of Satan in the deep darkness of space. The first pair of earthquakes struck on Feb. 6 as as the Green Comet came into conjunction with Auriga, which symbolizes Jesus Christ as the Shepherd who will judge between the sheep and the goats at the Second Advent. The second earthquake on Feb. 20 struck as the Green Comet was near the Mighty Warrior (Orion), symbolizing the cataclysmic Judgment of Jesus Christ conquering the world at the Second Advent.

Earthquakes are the judgment of Ecumenical Babylon associated with the land. The buildings of the devil's world are reduced to rubble and people are killed, corresponding to the Judgment from Jesus Christ as the "stone cut out without hands" which will destroy Satan's kingdom at the Second Advent.

As the earthquakes struck Turkey, the blessing of God was poured out in a miraculous awakening of saints at Asbury University. The saints were called out in the Church like the disciples that were called out at Pentecost as the first members of the Church, the Body of Christ. Jesus Christ came to Earth as a man in the First Advent. He was crucified and went down into Hades into Abraham's Bosom. There were terrible earthquakes that woke the dead in Jerusalem, and Jesus Christ was resurrected from Sheol (Hades). He ascended to Heaven as the High Priest of the Church, and the Church was called out as His Royal Family at Pentecost to begin the Church Age.

The last group of earthquakes in Turkey on Feb. 20 came the last day that the general public was allowed to attend the recent awakening (Rom 13:11; Eph 5:14) and calling out of the Church in Asbury University (Act 2:2-4). The influx of people into Asbury University overflowed the existing infrastructure. The small town and University were faced with a dilemma. They couldn't continue classes and deal with the multitude. So the President of the University announced the decision to close the services to the general public the night before on Day 50, for the Church. Feb. 20 was Day 51, for arrogance. Don't try to figure out who was arrogant. The earthquake on Feb. 20 shook the land and the Mediterranean Sea nearby, corresponding to the prophecy of Haggai (Hag 2:6).

The two groups of earthquakes in Turkey on Feb. 6 and 20 correspond to the earthquakes at the First and Second Advents of Christ. The earthquakes at the First Advent were associated with the Crucifixion and Resurrection (Matt 27:51-52, 53, 54; 28:2). When Jesus Christ ascended, God rejected Israel and called out the Church as His Royal Family. This shook up the established order in Heaven (Hag 2:6, 7; Heb 12:26, 27). Earthquakes will also herald the Second Advent (Rev 6:12; 8:5; 11:13; 16:18), and Heaven will be shaken in the Tribulation (Rev 11:19).

Chart

The Chart at the time of the second earthquake in Turkey (6.3 magnitude) contains a Bow on the Temporal side of the Chart. A Bow symbolizes the bow of an archer. It is an offensive weapon that shoots arrows in one direction. It is used by a warrior. The planets tightly grouped in the Bow on the Temporal side of the Chart indicate the strong, concentrated influence like the Lord Jesus Christ as the Conqueror at the Second Advent or the attack of an invading army.

The Sun was in Aquarius, for the Glorious Gospel. It was the New Moon, for a darkened, unenlightened, unresponsive congregation that needs to wake up (Eph 5:14; Rom 13:11). The New Moon is also the beginning of the month in a lunar calendar, and Aquarius symbolizes the blessing poured out from Heaven in the Millennium.

The Redeemer Planet was on the Descendant in Aquarius, for being redeemed from Sheol, like the Old Testament saints who will be resurrected at the Second Advent (Isa 26:19; Dan 12:2) and believers who are redeemed from the devil's world (1 Cor 6:19-20; 2Tim 2:24, 25, 26).

The Red Planet was in Taurus near Midheaven for plagues, like those that will occur in the Tribulation, such as earthquakes. The Green Comet was beside the Mighty Warrior (Orion), the symbol of Jesus Christ at the Second Advent as the Conqueror of the World. Thus, the Turkey earthquake was associated with the curse of the Green Comet.

The Mediator Planet was in Aries, for Jesus Christ as the High Priest of the New Covenant to the Church (Hag 2:6, 7; Heb 12:26, 27). Earthquakes are associated with the First and Second Advents of Christ.

Conclusion

Two strong earthquakes struck Turkey on Feb. 6 with over 44,000 killed. A second strong earthquake, followed by aftershocks, struck southern Turkey near the Mediterranean on Feb. 20. The two groups of earthquakes correspond to the earthquakes at the First and Second Advents of Christ. Earthquakes at the First Advent woke the dead and were associated with the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. Earthquakes will occur in the Tribulation as heralds of the cataclysmic Judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Mighty Warrior who will destroy the devil's kingdom and conquer the world.

Earthquakes symbolize the Judgment of Ecumenical Babylon and correspond to death and destruction of the enemies of Christ. The door for Salvation is open wide, but arrogant people who are Satan's subjects can reject Christ and spend eternity in the Lake of Fire with Satan.

Along with the Turkey earthquakes came blessing in the Church. The Lord Jesus Christ called out the Church in an Awakening in Asbury University in Kentucky. There was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit like the Baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost that began the Church Age (Acts 2:1-13). Elect Angels brought Christians to Asbury University from all over the world, and Guardian Angels protected the congregation at Asbury University from the world. The Lord Jesus Christ who is in Heaven was calling people in Spirit into a new movement in the Church. Thus, the cursing from Earthquakes in Turkey was turned to blessing in the Church in Kentucky, per the meaning of the year 2023, for cursing turned to blessing.

The two groups of earthquakes were associated with the curse of the Green Comet. The first group of earthquakes on Feb. 6 were associated with the Green Comet in Auriga, which symbolizes Jesus Christ as the Shepherd who will judge between the sheep and the goats at the Second Advent. The second group of Turkey earthquakes on Feb. 20 occurred as the Green Comet reached the Mighty Warrior (Orion), which symbolizes the Lord Jesus Christ as Conqueror of the world at the Second Advent when Satan's kingdom will be destroyed.

The First and Second Advents not only shook the Earth and sea but also Heaven (Hag 2:6, 7; Heb 12:26, 27). The calling out of the Church as Christ's Royal Family upset the established order in Heaven, and Heaven will be shaken in the Tribulation prior to the Second Advent (Rev 11:19).

The first earthquakes occurred on the Full Moon in Cancer, for the Eternal Security of the Church in the Hand of Christ (Jn 10:27-28). The second earthquakes occurred on the New Moon in Aquarius, for the beginning of the month that symbolizes blessing poured out from Heaven as will occur in the Millennium after the Second Advent. The death and destruction of the Turkey earthquakes will be turned into blessing for those who believe in Jesus Christ, who is the Son of the only God and the only Savior of mankind (Jude 1:24, 25).
