M4.8 earthquake strikes South Sandwich Islands region

This earthquake in the South Sandwich Islands fits the 'Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes' prophecy category of signs of the times. While a magnitude 4.8 earthquake is moderate rather than catastrophic, it contributes to the pattern of increasing seismic activity described as 'birth pangs' before the end times. The prophecy encompasses earthquakes 'in various places' as part of end-times upheaval.
