Earthquake events are explicitly listed as one of the signs of the times preceding the end times. Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11 describe earthquakes in various places as birth pangs before the end. While this is a localized seismic event, it fits the pattern of ongoing earthquake activity that characterizes the end-times era.
