M4.5 earthquake strikes 35 km SE of Dumabato, Philippines

The earthquake in the Philippines correlates tangentially with the prophecy of 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places' as signs of the end times. While this is a relatively minor M4.5 earthquake, it fits the pattern of geological upheaval mentioned in Matthew 24:7 as birth pangs before the end.

The earthquake has a distant connection to the cosmic disturbances prophecy which begins with 'a great earthquake' (σεισμός μέγας) as described in Revelation 6:12. However, this M4.5 earthquake is far too small to represent the prophesied 'great earthquake' that will be of unprecedented magnitude affecting the entire earth.
