Pennsylvania is one of seven states that suffer the most damage from sinkholes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The other states are Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. According to a wary homeowner in PA, a sinkhole – about 10 feet wide and 4.5 feet deep – on her property has dropped another two feet and a half after a significant rainfall this winter. She says the expanding sinkhole in her backyard is one of 458 such holes found along the area since 1999. Read full story HERE.

END TIMES TRUTH
Sinkholes demonstrate the fear-inspiring power of the earth. Are these warning signs? Or are they just a natural phenomenon that we need to pay no special attention to?
Numbers 16:32 “The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, all Korah’s people, and all [their] possessions.” Massive sinkholes have swallowed cars, buildings, and whole intersection.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. Sinkholes usually form suddenly and grow in size much like increasing labor pains.
Isaiah 13:8 (HCSB) They will be horrified; pain and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labor. They will look at each other, their faces flushed with fear.
Hosea 13:13 (HCSB) Labor pains come on him. He is not a wise son; when the time comes, he will not be born. Be wise and learn to read the signs of the time.
Isaiah 24:1(HCSB) Look, the LORD is stripping the earth bare and making it desolate. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants: The Earth is judged and Yahweh is to be feared!
