M5.5 earthquake strikes southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge

The sixth seal describes cosmic disturbances including 'a great earthquake' (Greek: seismos megas). While this Mid-Atlantic Ridge earthquake is geologically routine and localized rather than the eschatological 'great earthquake' of Revelation 6:12, it thematically aligns with the category of seismic activity mentioned in end-times prophecy as one of the 'birth pangs' before the end.
