A magnitude 7.3 earthquake has hit Japan off Fukushima prefecture leaving injured and causing widespread power outages in the region but with no threat of a tsunami from the quake.

The epicenter of the quake was off the coast of Fukushima north of Tokyo, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The epicenter is near where three nuclear reactors melted down after a quake and tsunami nearly 10 years ago.

And this strong quake was felt widely across Japan, including shaking of a four on Japan’s seven-point scale in the capital of Tokyo. The JMA upgraded the quake’s magnitude from an initial 7.1, and warned of strong aftershocks over the next week.

The earthquake left nearly a million households without power across the Fukushima region and forced the closure of roads and suspension of train services. While rattled residents braced for aftershocks, a landslide cut off a chunk of a main artery through Fukushima Prefecture.

Coming a little less than a month before the 10th anniversary of what is known as the Great East Japan earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster, the quake rattled the greater Tokyo area for about 30 seconds and was also felt powerfully in Fukushima and Sendai.

The strong quake was an unnerving reminder of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011, killing 16,000 people. After the subsequent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, 164,000 people fled or were evacuated from around the plant.

This new quake struck as Tokyo and nine other large prefectures are under a state of emergency to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

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).
