In the last 20 years, from July 12, 1993 to June 13, 2013 there have no less than 35 tsunamis world-wide. The word Tsunami is a frightening word . Hundreds of thousands have lost their lives. In 2004, a devastating tsunami took place in Asia , the Indonesian Island of Simuelue (see-meh-loo ) the closest inhabited land to the epicenter of the earthquake. But amazingly, of the 75,000 inhabitants only 7 died in the thirty foot waves. For decades, the people of see-meh-loo heard stories told by their grandparents of giant waves that killed thousands on this same island in 1907. So when the ground shook and the sea retreated, the people recalled the warnings and fled to higher ground.. They wisely heeded the warnings. Perhaps you have had warnings from friends or relatives. Maybe you have been urged to prepare for death -the next life.. Isaiah of old gave a wonderful invitation “Come now, and let us reason together, Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be white as wool.”
