Thoughts from the Japanese Earthquake

As a fan of Japanese giant monsters and video games with their origins in Japan, this Earthquake and ensuing tsunami saddens me.  It was devastating to hear one of my favorite nations was in such a sad state.  Sometimes, I wonder if we're living in the end times, after all, let's look at the world;
-Massive Political upheaval in the Middle East
-A powerful Earthquake
-A nationwide despising of Christianity
It seems quite possible that the devil could rise up at this time, take advantage of America, blame us all by labeling us as Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin (two idiots who ruin our national reputation), outlaw us to jail, death and slave labor, get praised by China, who dubs him the Secretary General of the UN, which, in turn, would cause a worldwide persecution that lasts for seven years before Christ comes again.  Don't think it can't happen, it happened to China, Germany, Tibet and the Soviet Union.  Sorry if this seems exceedingly paranoid, but I've got anxiety, as you would know, so all this keeps running through my mind, especially as I hear about the possible meltdown.  Anxiety also says if the meltdown happens, the nation of Japan will be uninhabitable for decades and their entire population will have to move to Nevada, just like in the 1973 Toho film, Submersion of Japan.  Of course, that's just a movie, and I don't know how serious a meltdown would be, the only experience I have with such is in Godzilla vs. Destroyah, in which Godzilla melts down at the end.  Fears in the film ran that the Earth would be destroyed by the meltdown, when Godzilla instead transferred his radiation to his son, turning him into the new Godzilla.
Also, Japan is not atheist, Japan is Buddhist, Shinto and Christian, combining elements from all three philosophies in daily life.  Shinto is a folk religion that details ways to protect oneself and one's family from evil spirits.
