A great 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit Kyushu, Japan, on April 15, 2016, at 16:25:08 UTC, at a depth of 15 km, reported Geoscience Australia (not finalized).

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a Tsunami Information Statement on April 15, 2016, at 1633 UTC.

The great quake killed 11 people and injured hundreds of others, trapping people in collapsed buildings. Nine people were killed in the same area by a major earthquake just yesterday. Saturday’s quake (local time) triggered at least 50 aftershocks. It is believed about 80 people are still trapped, or buried in the rubble. The death toll is unknown at this time. Fires have also erupted and up to 15,000 troops will be deployed to help with emergency response on Saturday. Almost 200,000 are without power. 

597 major to great (6.0+) earthquakes hit various places over the last 1,150 days. Among these were 75 7.0+ and 6 8.0+ magnitude quakes. (Sources: CSEM-EMSC, Geoscience Australia, USGS, Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, China Earthquake Networks Center, GEOFON).

Major to great (6.0+) magnitude earthquakes have increased to more than one quake every two days during the last 38 months on average. This is unprecedented and a fulfillment of last days Bible prophecy.



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.

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

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

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining will also come to pass. Please don't neglect your eternal soul. If you aren't saved, I invite you to visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
