An earthquake shook towns in southern Israel with reverberations felt as far north as Jerusalem. The earthquake was measured as a 4.2 on the Richter Scale. No injuries or damage was immediately reported.
The Geological Survey of Israel placed the earthquake’s epicenter 68 kilometers north of Eilat. The strongest reverberations were felt in Eilat, Beersheba, Yeruham and the Arava, the government office said.
Israel is situated along the Syrian-African rift, a tear in the earth’s crust running the length of the border separating Israel and Jordan, and which is part of the Great Rift Valley, which extends from northern Syria to Mozambique.
The last major earthquake to hit the region was in 1927 — a 6.2-magnitude tremor that killed 500 people and injured 700 more.
In a recent report, Tel Aviv University researchers warned that a major earthquake, large enough to cause hundreds of fatalities, is expected to hit the country in the coming years.
Researchers estimate that the nearing earthquake will have a 6.5 magnitude on the Richter scale, enough to destroy poorly built buildings, cause damage to stronger ones and be felt hundreds of kilometers away.
The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21) foretell that there will be earthquakes in the Last Days signaling the world is nearing the end of this age.
These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
