In the last days, natural disasters, including earthquakes, will increase in frequency and intensity, serving as signs of the approaching end times. According to Luke 21:11 and Mark 13:8, earthquakes will be accompanied by other catastrophic events, such as famines and pestilences. The book of Revelation also describes a massive earthquake that will occur during the seventh trumpet, causing widespread destruction and panic, as seen in Revelation 11:13. Additionally, Jesus teaches in Matthew 24:7 that earthquakes will be a characteristic of the period leading up to His return, a time of great turmoil and upheaval, which will also be marked by societal chaos, as described in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
