Earthquake: translation

The Yom Kippur War (1973) resulted in an Israeli military victory but unleashed tensions in the economic, political, and psychological arenas in Israel. Protest groups focusing on various aspects of the resulting situation were formed. Israelis were concerned with war losses, the failure of military intelligence, initial battlefield reverses, questions about war-associated political decisions, and deteriorating economic and social conditions at home accompanied by diplomatic reverses abroad. This malaise affected the body politic during much of the tenure of Yitzhak Rabin as prime minister (1974-77) but seemed to reach a crucial level in conjunction with the 1977 Knesset election (see also KNESSET [PARLIAMENT]), when many of the forces set in motion by the Yom Kippur War and its aftermath seemed to coalesce, causing a major fissure in the political landscape in Israel. The electorate gave the largest number of votes to the Likud, led by Menachem Begin, and the Israel Labor Party lost a substantial number of seats compared to the 1973 election. The results ended Labor's dominance of Israeli political life that had begun in the Yishuv period, and Begin subsequently formed a Likud-led coalition government. This sudden shift in political direction, together with the aftershocks it caused, have been likened to an "earthquake," the descriptive term often attached to this period in Israeli political development.

earthquake: translation

A term introduced in or shortly before 1951 by the American neurologist Caro W. Lippman (1886-1954) to denote a shaking sensation or shock movement which suggests that the bed -or the entire room - is shaking violently. This *kinaesthetic hallucination tends to occur during the period of relaxation prior to sleep onset, to last for half a minute or more, and to fade away gradually. Because of its association with migraine, the earthquake may be considered an * aural phenomenon. Lippman himself classifies it as a * space-motion hallucination.

Earthquake: translation

Mentioned among the extraordinary phenomena of Palestine (Ps. 18:7; comp. Hab. 3:6; Nah. 1:5; Isa. 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 (Zech. 14:5). The most memorable earthquake taking place in New Testament times happened at the crucifixion of our Lord (Matt. 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 (Judg. 5:4; 2 Sam. 22:8; Ps. 77:18; 97:4; 104:32).
