The most powerful earthquake to hit Japan and the fourth (not seventh as earlier reported) most powerful earthquake in the world overall since modern record-keeping began in 1900, the 9.0 MW megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred on March 11 generated extremely destructive tsunami waves of up to 10 meters (33 ft) just minutes after the quake.
The waves are reported to have travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland and wrought massive destruction along the Pacific coastline of Japan’s northern islands. The tsunami was far more deadly and destructive than the actual quake as towns were swept away and thousands of human bodies found littering the coastline hours later.
Check out the videos below of the tsunami and earthquake that devastated Japan.

Dear brothers and sister.
We thank God for His divine protection over His Nation Japan and His people . Let’s continue to pray for this country . For the people that had been victimized by the Tsunami / earthquake and for one another in Jesus name.
God is not happy at all , the nation He blessed with technology didn’t know Him and His mighty saving power. Now God is drawing all attention to Himself.So let us continue to come together in unity of Jesus Christ and fast and pray that God should have mercy upon our nation Japan and deliver & save His people whom He – God made in His own image after His own likeness. The Holy bible says who soever shall call upon Jesus Christ shall be saved. Let all the world start calling on the name of Jesus Christ on behalf of Japan because only Jesus Christ has the power to stop Tsunami / earthquake and also this is the sign of the end time.
2 Chronicles 7 : 14 – If my people , which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face , and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven , and will forgive their sin , and heal their land.
This is the right time for all Japan people to come back to God through our Lord Jesus Christ and humble themselves before our Lord Jesus Christ for them and the land to be healed in Jesus name . Amen.
Every friday night from 12:00pm to 3:00pm we gather together at HGIC -Holy ghost international church,Sagamino station ( KANAGAWA KEN ,EBINA-SHI ,HIGASHIKASHIWAGAYA 2-12-1 ) – Japan – Church for all people.( HOUSE OF PRAYER ). And we pray for all Asia – Japan and for the whole world , And you are free to come with your friends and join us in this prayers . We pray until something happen – PUSH.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power . 1 Corinthians 4:20.
Your brother in Christ.
