The cycles I discuss here have already yielded an historic earthquake in Taiwan's Capital at 11:59 p.m. CST January 16-17, 2018:

At 11:58 a.m. EST yesterday (13 hours before the Taiwan quake) the biggest New Madrid Missouri earthquake in three months hit, a magnitude 3.6 in Caruthersville:

Yesterday was 26,260 days (101 times 260) since a man had a vision of the globe, and blood-red spewing from the pen of Kar Marx and and spreading throughout the earth, and then he saw white spread from the center of the United States to oppose the red, and then he saw that "The red leader could no longer contain his desire for world domination" and war with the United States began.

Interestingly, that dream early Saturday February 23, 1946 was 118300 days (455 times 260) after the "Redskins" attacked Jamestown, Virginia Friday April 1, 1622: and 62400 days (240 times 260) after the "Redcoats" killed British colonials in Massachusetts April 1, 1775. Also interesting is that Winston Churchill traveled to Fulton, Missouri at the geographical center of the United States March 5, 1946 to warn of an "Iron Curtain" of Communist Authoritarianism descending over Europe.

Now onto explaining why a notable earthquake may happen today....

The morning before the world's largest earthquake ever recorded (a magnitude 9.6 at 2:11 p.m. EST May 22, 1960) a foreshock of magnitude 8.1 struck there offshore Bio Bio Chile at 5:03 a.m. EST Saturday Mat 21, 1960:

That was 81 times 260 or 58.5 times 360 days ago today Wednesday January 17, 2018.

A powerful earthquake in Central Peru happened 260 days after Pearl Harbor was attacked December 7, 1941, the magnitude 8.2 happened at 5:50 p.m. EST Monday August 24, 1942:

Pearl Harbor was attacked 27800 days ago and so the Peru quake was 27540 days ago, or 76.5 times 360 days, meaning the big Peru quake was 18 times 360 days before the big Chile foreshock of May 21, 1960.

10.5 times 360 days ago (three times the biblical 1260 or nine times 420) a series of monstrous quakes in Indonesia starting with a magnitude 8.4 at 6:10 a.m. EST September 12, 2007:

Seven times 260 days later (5 times 364) a magnitude 7.6 off Costa Rica at 9:42 a.m. EST Wednesday September 5, 2012, fifty years after a major earthquake in Salt Lake City Utah suburb of Magna at 9:05 a.m. local time 9/5/1962...seven months after Jeane Dixon's vision of Joseph-in-Egypt in the ball of the sun, overseeing and manipulating events like a puppetmaster...

"A rolling earthquake rocked Salt Lake Valley at 9:05 a.m. Wednesday, closing several schools and causing widespread structural damage. No serious injuries were reported, but residents were jittery inasmuch as it was the second major quake in one week...Windows shattered, several homes had walls or ceilings collapse and cracks appeared in houses and buildings throughout the valley. The quake was not as heavy as the one last week, but it was felt more strongly in the Salt Lake area because the tremor apparently started right in the valley..."

The Book of Mormon tale of descendants of Joseph-in-Egypt departing Jerusalem August 11, 596 B.C. and traveling by boat to Central America has attracted descendants of Joseph, the "dreamer" who was rejected by his brethren until he became Prince of Egypt in July 1674 B.C., The Mayans describe as "hero twins" their ancestors Manasseh and Ephraim who born to Joseph and his Egyptian wife Asenath on "Nine Wind" Thursday February 4, 1669 B.C., 3698.5 times 364 days before the biggest earthquake in Berkeley California's history this past Thursday January 4, 2018 at 5:40 a.m. EST:

Today is a multiple of 420 days since Wednesday December 29, 86 B.C. when the Book of Mormon describes two Christian missionaries freed from prison by a great earthquake in Chiapas, Mexico:
https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/14?lang=eng
"14:29 Now the people having heard a great noise came running together by multitudes to know the cause of it; and when they saw Alma and Amulek coming forth out of the prison, and the walls thereof had fallen to the earth, they were struck with great fear, and fled from the presence of Alma and Amulek even as a goat fleeth with her young from two lions; and thus they did flee from the presence of Alma and Amulek."

One way the persecuted escape their persecutors is by dying and evacuating their bodies (which spiritually is "bondage in Egypt") and returning to their friends and relatives in heaven, this happened to upwards of 300 Native Americans at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890, anniversary in the regular calendar of that episode December 29, 86 B.C.

Had it occurred two days later, that Chiapas earthquake would have happened 767,000 days (2950 times 260) after Wednesday December 29, 86 B.C. Something probably is going to happen today 48 hours after the Venezuela State murder of peaceful protestor Oscar Perez, reflective of God's displeasure with how that turned out. Oscar Perez didn't hurt anybody.
