M4.9 earthquake strikes 58 km SSW of Sarangani, Philippines

This earthquake in the Philippines is consistent with the sign of 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes in various places' (Luke 21:11). While a M4.9 is moderate and localized, it exemplifies the pattern of increasing seismic activity described as a characteristic of the end times—'birth pangs' of the age to come.
