M4.5 earthquake strikes 17 km SE of Pāhala, Hawaii

This earthquake in Hawaii represents one of the 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places' that characterize the end times according to Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11. While a single M4.5 earthquake is a routine geological event, it fulfills the category of escalating seismic activity that Jesus identified as a sign of the approaching end.
