M5.7 earthquake strikes 54 km SSW of Sarangani, Philippines

The earthquake in the Philippines exemplifies the general category of 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes' described in Matthew 24:7 as signs of the times. While individual earthquakes are geologically common, they align thematically with the predicted increase in seismic activity ('in various places') as birth pangs before the end times.
