M4.7 earthquake strikes 41 km ENE of Turmi, Ethiopia

The earthquake in Ethiopia falls under the category of natural upheaval and geological crises described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11, which prophesy that 'in various places there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes.' This is a current fulfillment of the sign of the times, though individual earthquakes themselves are not uniquely prophetic but part of the broader pattern of increasing seismic activity.
