M4.5 earthquake strikes 31 km SE of Ōfunato, Japan

This earthquake in Japan exemplifies the 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes' prophecy (Matthew 24:7, Luke 21:11), which describes earthquakes in various places as a sign of the end times. While a single M4.5 earthquake is relatively minor, it contributes to the ongoing pattern of seismic activity globally that characterizes the latter days according to this prophecy.
