M4.6 earthquake strikes 131 km E of Bitung, Indonesia

This earthquake in Indonesia is one manifestation of the 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places' described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11. While a single moderate earthquake does not fulfill the prophecy on its own, it represents the type of geological activity that characterizes the end-times 'birth pangs' mentioned in Scripture.
