M4.8 earthquake strikes 52 km WNW of Poso, Indonesia

This earthquake in Indonesia represents one of the ongoing natural upheavals characteristic of the end times. Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11 describe earthquakes in various places as a sign preceding the great tribulation, and Revelation 6:12 depicts seismic activity as part of eschatological judgments. While individually unremarkable, such earthquakes fulfill the cumulative pattern of 'earthquakes in various places' that Jesus identified as birth pangs of the end times.
