M5.3 earthquake strikes 35 km SSW of Cordova, Alaska

This earthquake in Alaska directly fulfills Jesus' warning of 'earthquakes in various places' as a sign of the end times. While a single M5.3 quake is not extraordinary, it contributes to the pattern of increasing seismic activity that characterizes the prophesied 'birth pangs' preceding the final judgment (Matthew 24:7, Luke 21:11).
