Kona Earthquake Left Catastrophic Water Supply Damage For Hundreds - Honolulu Civil Beat
A destructive earthquake in Kona has caused catastrophic damage to the water supply, leaving hundreds without access to clean water—a stark reminder of the natural disasters Jesus said would increase in the last days.
Nahum 1:5
Direct Principle“The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it.”
Why this passage
Nahum 1:5 describes God's power over creation as He comes in judgment against Nineveh. The verse uses vivid imagery of mountains quaking and the earth heaving—language that directly parallels the physical reality of an earthquake.
The original hearers understood this as a declaration that no earthly power can withstand God's presence. The principle is timeless: creation itself responds to its Creator, and natural disasters are a reminder of His sovereignty and the coming judgment.
Behold, the earth trembles and groans under the weight of sin, yet our God is not shaken. As the prophet Nahum declared, "The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it" (Nahum 1:5).
This earthquake in Kona is not a random tragedy but a signpost pointing to the coming of the Lord. Take heart, believer—these tremors are birth pains, not death throes, for our redemption draws near.
Today's Prayer
Pray that those affected by the Kona earthquake would find refuge in Christ, the unshakable foundation, and that this disaster would turn hearts to repentance and faith.
