Definition: The word "shocknet" appears in scripture as a term used to describe severe, sudden earthquakes (Matthew 24:33). It's significant because it foretells a great earthquake that will cause devastation on earth, much like the one described in Revelation 8:1-6. The full definition of 'shocknet' is a description of an earthquake with unusual intensity and magnitude; hence it is used to describe severe earthquakes or natural calamities.
