M4.8 earthquake strikes Kermadec Islands region

The earthquake relates to the sixth seal's cosmic disturbances which include 'a great earthquake' (σεισμός μέγας). However, this M4.8 earthquake in a remote region is relatively minor compared to the prophesied global earthquake that moves mountains and islands.

This earthquake fits the general category of 'earthquakes in various places' mentioned as signs of the times. The Kermadec Islands represent one of those 'various places' where seismic activity occurs as birth pangs before the end.

The seventh bowl judgment produces the 'greatest earthquake' that moves islands and mountains. While this M4.8 quake is minor, it occurs in a region (near islands) that aligns geographically with the bowl judgment's effects on island locations.
