A powerful 6.8 magnitude earthquake shook the Andean nation of Peru on Wednesday with its epicentre some 560 kilometres northeast of the capital Lima.

Seismologists from the US Geological Survey said the epicentre of the quake, which occurred shortly before 1800 GMT, was 82 kilometres north of the town of Puccalpa, in eastern Peru near the Brazilian border.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties and the US government's warning centre said no destructive tsunami was created.

On 15 August 2007, an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 devastated the province of Ica, just south of Lima, killing some 600 people and causing extensive damage to area buildings and infrastructure.
In 2009, more than 140 earthquakes with magnitudes of 4.0 and above were felt in Peru, located in a region that geologists call the Pacific Ring of Fire due to its intense seismic activity.

PUT YOUR TRUST IN YAHSHUA/JESUS

Hosea 4:6-9 (New King James Version)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your Elohim/God, I also will forget your children. 7 “ The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change[a] their glory[b] into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of My people; They set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And it shall be: like people, like priest. So I will punish them for their ways, And reward them for their deeds. Hosea 6:1-3 (New King James Version)
A Call to Repentance 1 Come, and let us return to Yahweh/the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. 3 Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of Yahweh/the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
