Jesus said that in the final days just prior to His return, the earth would experience an increase in the frequency and severity of Earthquakes, among other natural disasters. From time to time, we will track some of the current reports from around the world regarding the major occurrences of earthquakes and report them here for you.
Matthew 24:7 7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
Wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes will be noticeably increasing in frequency and severity as we approach the return of the Lord.
Major catastrophic earthquakes are increasing in frequency and severity at an alarming rate:
From 526 to 1811, a period of 1,285 years, there were only 17 major earthquakes.
From 1822 to 1994, a period of just 172 years, there were 78 major earthquakes.
This is a 500 percent increase in frequency of major quakes in just the last 172 years.
From 1960 to 1994 in just a 34 year period of time there were 50 major catastrophic earthquakes.
This means that more than 50% of every catastrophic earthquake in history has happened in just the last 34 years.

From 1888-1947 a period of just 59 years, there were 13 major hurricanes typhoons or other major catastrophic storms with 62,274 people killed.
But from 1952 until 1993, a period of 41 years, there were 65 catastrophic storms with 560,761 people killed.
