This thing is The Great Tribulation and I believe that these earthquakes along with the extreme weather, Man-Made disasters (Gulf Oil Spill etc) and the current Political Turmoil, like what is happening in Egypt and Libya and other places in the Middle East are but signs that we are now in what is referred to as the Birth Pangs of the Great Tribulation.

...does anyone else believe as I do that we are very close to the beginning of the Great Tribulation and that what has been happening may actually be signs or even the Birth Pangs of the Great Tribulation.
The Word will back you up on this one:

The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, is Babylon fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
Isaiah 21:1-9

Babylon fallen, is fallen;

I would gladly lay aside the use of arms and settle matters by negotiation, but unless the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my battle rifle, and thank God that He has put it within my grasp.
