A tsunami alert was triggered for Guam after a powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck near New Caledonia in the western Pacific.

The National Tsunami Warning Center said the quake hit southeast of the Loyalty Islands, east of Australia at around 11:20 p.m. CHST (8:20 a.m. ET) at a depth of around 20 miles.

The center warned there was a tsunami threat for Guam as well as the islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan.

The alert later added that there is no tsunami danger for the U.S. West Coast, British Columbia, or Alaska, and some of the islands may experience non-damaging sea-level changes.

Seismologists described the earthquake as near New Caledonia in the western Pacific where the Australian Plate is colliding with and subducting beneath the Pacific Plate. And that the earthquake was preceded by a couple of magnitude 6 foreshocks.

Guam does experience infrequent earthquakes and possible tsunamis due to its location within the so-called Ring of Fire, with three tsunamis recorded in the past that were large enough to cause damage—in 1849, 1892 and in 1993.

The Ring of Fire is a zone of earthquakes and active volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean which runs up from New Zealand to the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan, and down the the west coasts of North and South America.

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21) foretell that there will be earthquakes 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).
