Fifth earthquake in 5 days hits Israel. Bible warns of catastrophic earthquakes in Israel in the “last days.”

Every 80 years or so, Israel has a major, catastrophic earthquake. So Israelis know they are "due" for a "big one."
Those who pay attention to Bible prophecy also know that both the Old and New Testament Scriptures describe major earthquakes occurring in Israel in the last days.
Earthquake preparations are on the increase by government agencies and among private companies and such preparations will now accelerate, especially in the wake of five minor earthquakes in Israel in the course of the past five days. Among the steps being taken: a new earthquake alert system is being developed by the government and is expected to be ready in 2016.
"Israel’s last major earthquake rattled the region in 1927" reports the Times of Israel, was "a 6.2-magnitude tremor that killed 500 and injured another 700." Before that, "an earthquake in 1837 left as many as 5,000 people dead."
"A small earthquake shook the Sea of Galilee area on Tuesday morning, the fifth such tremor in less than a week," noted the Times. "The quake, measuring 3.3 on the Richter scale, caused no reported damage or injuries."
"On Sunday, two minor earthquakes, both measuring 3.6 in intensity, were reported in the north, which followed similar quakes on Saturday and Thursday," the Times noted. "No injuries have been reported, although some buildings in Tiberias were lightly damaged by the tremors. Last Sunday, a 6.4-magnitude quake, centered in the Mediterranean Sea near Crete, was felt in Athens, Egypt and Israel....In response to the string of temblors, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a special cabinet meeting Monday to discuss the state’s earthquake preparedness, and, on Sunday, the Home Front Command and emergency services representatives held a meeting to discuss emergency procedures in the case of a more major earthquake."
In Epicenter, I note that Bible prophecy warns of several catastrophic earthquakes that will strike Israel in the “last days.” For example:
"It will come about on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel," declares the Lord God, "that My fury will mount up in My anger. In My zeal and in My blazing wrath, I declare that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground." (Ezekiel 38:18-20)
"I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind." (Revelation 6:12-13)
"Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne saying, 'It is done.' And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city [Jerusalem] was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell...." (Revelation 16:17-19)

It is pretty much impossible to identity any quakes in Israel. The nearest seismo available to us is Eilat. The Tiberias quake is on there but there are others that day that are stronger. Tiberias is too far away to register such a small magnitude. Looking back over the past 10 day there are many traces that could be quakes but....
