BIBLE DICTIONARY

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 ).
