Earthquakes figure prominently in end time events that will ultimately lead to Jesus' Second Coming.
Jesus revealed that earthquakes and other catastrophes would increase in frequency as we get closer to his return.
"And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you do not let these things disturb you. For it is necessary that all these things take place, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in different places" (Matthew 24:6 - 7).
* The Sixth Seal *
After Jesus opens Revelation's sixth seal a great earthquake takes place on the earth. The sixth seal heralds the beginning of the prophetic Day of the Lord.
"Then I saw Him open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair; the entire moon became like blood . . . (Revelation 6:12).
* The Seventh Seal *
The seventh seal, when opened, also brings with it thunder, lightning and an earthquake (Revelation 8:1, 3, 5).
* Jerusalem Shakes! *
After the Two Witnesses are miraculously resurrected back to life a violent earthquake shakes Jerusalem!
"And they heard a great voice from heaven, say, "Come up here!" And they ascended into heaven in a cloud . . . And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand men were killed in the earthquake . . ." (Revelation 11:12 - 13).
* The Seventh Angel *
When the seventh angels sounds his trumpet it is proclaimed that God's time has come to actively rule the earth!
"Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign into the ages of eternity.'" . . . (Revelation 11:15, HBFV).
God's heavenly temple is then thrown open. This unique event is heralded by thunders, lightnings and an earthquake (Revelation 11:19).
* The Greatest Quake *
The last prophetic earthquake will be the greatest one ever experienced by humanity. It will be so powerful that it will cause islands to disappear and mountains to crumble (Revelation 16:20)!
"Then the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "IT IS FINISHED."
"And there were voices and thunders and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great" (Revelation 16:17 - 18).
