Earthquake location 6.479°S, 154.584°E
A major 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southeast Iran on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, at 10:44:20 UTC, at a depth of 82 km (51 mi).

BBC reporter Mohsen Asgari said that the power of this earthquake was "absolutely unprecedented in the last 56 years in Iran." Tremors were felt across Pakistan, India and the Middle East, reported BBC News.

Pakistan bore the brunt of the Iranian earthquake, killing at least 35 people, injuring more than 150 and destroying hundreds of buildings in Pakistan, reported Reuters.

An Iranian official initially reported that at least 40 people were dead in Iran and that hundreds more were expected dead, but later, according to Reuters, another Iranian official said there were no deaths in Iran.

Great quake hits Iran, but only affects Pakistan. Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

One thing is certain, the Iranians are well aware of Jesus's (who they consider to be their "prophet" Isa) warning of great earthquakes in the last days. It may be reproach enough that they have lost every war they have waged against Israel since Israel became a nation again in 1948. You might think they would get a clue... 

There have been 53 major (>5.9) earthquakes in various places over the last 75 days, among which were seven 7+ 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 28 months, there have been at least 273 major (>5.9) 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.
