mentioned among the extraordinary phenomena of Palestine (Psalms
18:7; Compare Habakkuk
3:6; Nahum 1:5;
Isaiah 5:25).
The first earthquake in Palestine of which we have any record happened in the
reign of Ahab (1 Kings
19:11,12). Another took place in the days of Uzziah, King of Judah (Zechariah
14:5). The most memorable earthquake taking place in New Testament
times happened at the crucifixion of our Lord (Matthew
27:54). An earthquake at Philippi shook the prison in which Paul and
Silas were imprisoned (Act 16:26
).
It is used figuratively as a token of the presence of the Lord (Judges
5:4; 2 Sam 22:8; Psalms 77:18;
97:4;
104:32
).
