USGS:  A major 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Kuril Islands on Thursday, 8/4/11, at 13:51:36 UTC, at a depth of 49 km (30.4 mi).

Commentary:  "There will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven" Luke 21:11.  Have you noticed how many islands throughout the world are being hit with major earthquakes, and many, many more that are not quite on the scale of being a "major" (6.0+) earthquake?  This is no coincidence.  The Bible says, "Heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every mountain and were moved out of their places" Revelation 6:14.  God gave John visions of things to come before the return of the Lord and John saw every mountain and island "moved."  The shaking has begun!
