A major 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit off the east coast of Kamchatka on May 21, 2013, at 05:43:21 UTC, at a depth of 30 km, reported EMSC-CSEM.

Earthquakes will continue to intensify until the Lord returns, according to Bible prophecy. If major earthquakes ceased or declined consistently, that would be indicative that the Lord will not return in the near future. This won't happen, because numerous other prophecies point to the Lord's return in our generation, such as the rebirth of Israel as a nation (Isaiah 66:8) and the building up of Zion, which is Israel, (Psalm 102:16), in addition to the prophecies included below. We are living in the last of the last days, friends.

72 major (6.0+) earthquakes hit various places over the last 110 days. Among these were ten 7.0+ and one 8.1 magnitude quakes!

Jesus said, "Great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, famines and pestilences and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven" Luke 21:11. 

During the previous 29 months, there have been at least 291 major (6.0+) earthquakes reported on this site.    

Jesus said these signs would appear before He returns, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places" Matthew 24:7.

Jesus also said, "Blessed are those servants whom the Master, when He comes, will find watching" Luke 12:37.
