Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes In Progress

P25 (Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes) lists earthquakes as one of the signs characterizing the end times. While a single M5.7 earthquake is a routine seismic event, it matches the thematic category of earthquake activity mentioned in eschatological passages like Luke 21:11. However, the score remains modest since individual earthquakes are geologically common and this event alone doesn't demonstrate the multiplying pattern of 'birth pangs' described in the prophecy.
