M4.5 earthquake strikes 211 km NE of Santa Cruz das Flores, Portugal

This earthquake in the Atlantic near Portugal fits the broader category of 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes' as signs of the times. While a magnitude 4.5 is relatively modest, it represents the ongoing multiplication of seismic activity characteristic of the end-times 'birth pangs' described in Matthew 24:7. The prophecy indicates earthquakes will occur 'in various places' during the latter days.
