Earthquakes will continue to intensify until the Lord returns, according to Bible prophecy. If major earthquakes cease or decline consistently, that would be indicative that the Lord will not return in the near future. This won't happen and major earthquakes continue to increase at this time, because the Lord's return is near. We are living in the last of the last days, friends.

74 major (6.0+) earthquakes hit various places over the last 113 days. Among these were 11 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 293 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.
