A number of strong earthquakes have struck off the coast of Indonesia signaling increased activity in the Ring of Fire.

A 6.2 magnitude quake struck 83 miles northwest of the city of Kupang on Timor island, and it has been followed by a 5.3 magnitude quake off the coast off West Sumatra.

A spokesman for Indonesia’s Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Council said no tsunami warnings had been issued after the first quake. There were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage to property.

Already, a number of other earthquakes have struck the region. A 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck near the island of Yamdena, followed by a 5.0 magnitude quake just off the coast off Sumba.

Indonesia is located within the infamous Ring of Fire region. The Ring of Fire is a massive horseshoe-shaped ring encircling the Pacific basin made up of a string of volcanoes and seismic activity.

The Ring of Fire is the largest and most active fault line in the world, stretching from New Zealand, all around the east coast of Asia, over to Canada and the USA and all the way down to the southern tip of South America.

In total, the ring forms a 25,000-mile arc from the boundary of the Pacific Plate, to the Cocos and Nazca Plates that line the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

Recently, the United States Geographical Survey (USGS) had also reported a 7.0 magnitude earthquake followed by aftershocks near L’Esperance Rock in the Pacific Ocean north of New Zealand.

And in the past 24 hours, 6.0+ earthquakes have been reported in China and also in Japan with a tsunami warning. This number of strong earthquakes could be signaling increased activity in the Ring of Fire.

And many experts with their analysis believe that a “Big One” is on its way. Researchers believe that the San Andreas fault is overdue the ‘Big One’ – a potentially catastrophic earthquake which could cause widespread destruction in the US.

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21) foretell that earthquakes will be a sign of the Last Days indicating the coming end of the age and the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ.
