Earthquake location 17.944°S, 175.075°W
A major 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit near Tonga on May 11, 2013, at 20:46:56 UTC, at a depth of 205 km (128 mi).

Prior to today (Saturday), it had been 15 days since a major (6.0+) earthquake hit anywhere throughout the world, which has been unusual over the last two years. This, however, is the second major earthquake to hit today. Yesterday, the Lord had given me a vision of a great earthquake, which was posted on the Prophecy page.

Earthquakes will continue and they will continue to intensify until the Lord returns, according to Bible prophecy. Hypothetically, if major earthquakes did cease, that would be indicative that the Lord will not return in the near future. This won't happen, because numerous other prophecies point to our generation; we are living in the last of the last days, friends.

65 major (6.0+) earthquakes hit various places over the last 100 days. Among these were nine 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 284 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.
