M4.8 earthquake strikes 65 km S of Kokopo, Papua New Guinea

This earthquake event matches the prophecy of 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes' (P25), which describes earthquakes in various places as signs of the end times. While this is a moderate magnitude earthquake in a seismically active region, it represents the ongoing fulfillment of the predicted increase in earthquakes characteristic of end-times 'birth pangs.'
