M4.8 earthquake strikes 175 km SSW of Houma, Tonga

This earthquake in Tonga matches the prophecy of 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes' in various places as a sign of the times. While isolated earthquakes are natural occurrences, the prophecy describes them as multiplying birth pangs before the end—part of the general escalation of natural upheaval characteristic of the end times.
