M4.6 earthquake strikes 126 km NNE of Kangding, China

This earthquake in Kangding, China represents one instance of the 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places' prophesied as signs of the end times. While a single M4.6 earthquake is a routine seismic event, it contributes to the pattern of increased seismic activity described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11 as birth pangs preceding the final judgment.
