M5.1 earthquake strikes 129 km SW of Huarmey, Peru

This earthquake in Peru represents one of the ongoing 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places' that Jesus identified as signs of the end times (Matthew 24:7, Luke 21:11). While a single M5.1 event is relatively modest, it contributes to the cumulative pattern of seismic activity worldwide that characterizes the eschatological season.
