Indonesia has suffered a powerful 6.2-magnitude earthquake as the latest in a series of quakes to hit the country.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said the earthquake hit at around 2.28am local time and had a depth of 10km (6.21 miles).

As with this tremor, shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. And it was felt in nearby Sulawesi with the epicenter 138km northwest of Parepare with a population of 140,000 in the area.

According to the Volcano Discovery website, based on the preliminary seismic data the quake should have been widely felt from the area of the epicenter. They reported the earthquake could have caused light to moderate damage.

Additionally, they said shaking likely occurred in Mamuju, as well as in Polewali, 58km away from the epicenter, and 62km away in Majene.

Indonesia has been hit by a number of earthquakes over recent days.

Earlier on Thursday, a 5.9-magnitude earthquake shook the West Sulawesi province in central Indonesia, the country’s meteorology and geophysics agency reported.

And ten days earlier on January 4, a 5.0-magnitude earthquake, again with a depth of 10km, struck an area 137km north-northwest of Kendari.

Two years ago in 2018, Indonesia was rocked by a massive 7.5-magnitude earthquake that subsequently triggered a tsunami. The disaster left more than 4,300 people dead or missing.

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21) foretell that diverse earthquakes will happen as a sign of the Last Days indicating the nearing 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).
