Devasting Earthquakes Strike Turkey and Syria—What Does the Bible Say?

On Monday, February 6, 2023, devastating earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria.

• “A huge earthquake killed more than 3,700 people across a swathe of Turkey and northwest Syria on Monday, with freezing winter weather adding to the plight of the thousands left injured or homeless and hampering efforts to find survivors.”—Reuters, February 6, 2023.

Our hearts ache when we read of such tragedies. At times like this, we can look to Jehovah who is “the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) He provides “comfort from the Scriptures [that] we might have hope.”—Romans 15:4.

In the Bible, we learn:

• What was foretold about earthquakes.

• Where we can find comfort and hope.

• How God will eliminate all suffering.
