Major to great magnitude earthquakes have increased to one about every two days on average during the last seven months. This is unprecedented and certainly fulfills last days Bible prophecy.
Jesus said, "Great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, famines and pestilences and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven" Luke 21:11.
During the previous 29 months, there have been at least 268 major to great (6.0+) earthquakes reported on this site.
Jesus said these signs would appear before He returns, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places" Matthew 24:7.
Jesus also said, "Blessed are those servants whom the Master, when He comes, will find watching" Luke 12:37.
The Lord instructed us to watch, so we will not be caught unaware.
