The earthquake in Papua New Guinea represents one of the 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places' (Luke 21:11) that characterize the end times as birth pangs before the eschaton. While a single 5.4 magnitude event is not catastrophic, it contributes to the pattern of increasing seismic activity globally that Jesus described as a sign of the times.
