It was reported that 1400 people were killed by an earthquake in Afghanistan:

Hope fades for finding survivors after Afghan quake kills more than 1,400
Many victims remain trapped under the rubble, as emergency services have difficulty reaching remote villages to provide aid.
3 September 2025
Hope is fading of finding survivors in the rubble of homes devastated by a powerful earthquake in eastern Afghanistan over the weekend that killed more than 1,400 people, as emergency services struggle to reach remote villages.
In Kunar’s Nurgal district, victims remained trapped under destroyed structures and were difficult to rescue, local official Ijaz Ulhaq Yaad told the AFP news agency on Wednesday. “There are some villages which have still not received aid,” he said.
A magnitude 6 earthquake hit the mountainous region bordering Pakistan on Sunday, leaving residents huddled in the open air for fear of powerful aftershocks and desperately trying to pull people from under flattened buildings.
The earthquake has killed at least 1,411 people and injured 3,124 others, the governing Taliban authorities said, making it one of the deadliest in decades to hit the impoverished country. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/3/hope-fades-for-finding-survivors-after-afghan-quake-kills-more-than-1400

UPDATE 09/04/25: Now the number of dead is over 2200:

Afghanistan earthquake death toll tops 2,200
4 September 2025
Rescuers are battling to reach survivors after an earthquake in Afghanistan left over 2,200 dead.
The vast majority of the dead and nearly 4,000 injured were in mountainous Kunar province near the border with Pakistan, Taliban government deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said Thursday.
“Tents have been set up for people, and the delivery of first aid and emergency supplies is ongoing,” he added. https://www.dw.com/en/afghanistan-earthquake-death-toll-tops-2200/a-73880933

Those affected by the Afghan quake have been in my prayers.

The death’s from this quake are a sober reminder that life is fleeting. Consider also the words of Jesus:

1 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:1-5)

Your situation can change. You can perish. Do not put off full repentance as YOU may not have as much time to become a true Philadelphian Christian as you might think.

Very Alarming Earthquakes Strike As We Enter The Month Of September
September 1, 2025
This has been a crazy year for earthquakes. At one point this summer, we witnessed a total of 494 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 within a 30 day period. That was about four times as many magnitude 5.0 earthquakes as we normally see during a 30 day period. Unfortunately, our planet continues to shake in wild and unpredictable ways. In fact, Afghanistan was just hit by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake …
What we just witnessed in Afghanistan was a horrible tragedy.
But it wasn’t even the most alarming seismic activity that we have seen in the past 24 hours.
To me, the earthquake swarm that just occurred at the Campi Flegrei supervolcano was even more alarming…
Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reports an ongoing earthquake swarm in the Campi Flegrei caldera that started at 14:09 UTC on August 31. At the time of its latest communiqué, INGV preliminarily counted 94 earthquakes with magnitudes up to 4.0±0.3.
The strongest event was an M4.0 earthquake at 02:55 UTC (04:55 LT local time) on September 1, at an estimated depth of 2 km (1.2 miles), with an epicenter near Pozzuoli. The sequence included two M3.3 earthquakes on August 31 at depths of 0.7 km (0.4 miles) and 1.8 km (1.1 miles), followed by several events of M2.0–M2.8 later that day. Among them were two M2.8 quakes at depths of 0.4 km (0.2 miles) and 0.8 km (0.5 miles) hours before the M4.0.
A swarm of 94 earthquakes at one of the largest supervolcanoes on the entire planet is very important news. …
There have been frequent earthquake swarms at the Campi Flegrei supervolcano this year, and … a full-blown eruption could cause a worldwide volcanic winter.
In such a scenario, crops would be unable to grow in many areas of the planet and we could be facing “mass extinctions’…
If Campi Flegrei were to reenact its largest previous eruption, it would punch molten rock and volcanic gases high into the stratosphere, unleash 100-feet-high (33.5 meters) tsunamis and spread a plume of sulfur and toxic ash that could plunge Earth into global winter for years — killing crops and causing mass extinctions.
Here in the United States, an alarming swarm of earthquakes continues to shake the state of Nevada…
Overall, there have been 779 earthquakes in California and Nevada during the past 7 days.
Sadly, I am convinced that what we are seeing in that area of the country right now is just the start of what is coming. https://endoftheamericandream.com/very-alarming-earthquakes-strike-as-we-enter-the-month-of-september/

We know that Jesus prophesied earthquakes in various places (Mark 13:8). Notice some statements in my article 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:

5. Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Jesus taught:
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. (Matthew 24:7).
Earthquakes could trigger supervolcanoes (see Massive spike in Yellowstone earthquakes: Does Yellowstone pose a major risk? and watch Are supervolcanoes a real threat?) and cause other troubles (Mark 13:8).
Then there are also smaller volcanoes, such as Mt. Rainer, which are believed to have massive potential for disasters themselves.
Many moderns, ‘experts’ and otherwise, do not think such disasters could happen–at least not in their lifetimes.
But they are wrong. Notice what the Apostle Peter was inspired to write:
1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation — as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. (2 Peter 3:1-18).
Things will not remain as they have. Yellowstone could erupt–BIG TIME! …
Ultimately, a massive earthquake will hit:
18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. (Revelation 16:18-20)
Notice that the above earthquake is so big that the cities of the nations will fall. Mountains will be leveled and islands “fled away” (more on this can be found in the article Islands and Bible Prophecy). This seems to be the biggest earthquake that will ever hit the planet with humans on it. Despite the view of ‘preterists’ that this already happened (see The Dangerous Rise of Preterists), that is nonsense.
The earthquake of Revelation 16 will be bigger than what the usual “experts” have believed was possible. It will change the planet and humble parts of humanity.
It should be noted since that apparently biggest of all earthquakes seems to take place near the end of the Day of the Lord, it cannot happen prior to 2027 (for more on why as well as dates, please see the articles When Can the Great Tribulation Begin? and Could God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Could the 6,000 Years End?).
While that one will not occur in 2025, other significant ones are in the future.
Expect serious earthquakes in different places, in 2025.

That said, consider that the beginning of sorrows Jesus told of is BEFORE the start of the Great Tribulation.

Earthquakes and Super Volcanos
Is a black swan just another pretty bird? Well, yes, but a black swan event has a totally different meaning. A black swan event is described by Britannica.com as: “A black swan event is an unexpected and highly impactful event. It is characterized by its extreme rarity, severe consequences, and the tendency for people to rationalize it only in hindsight.” Would a massive earthquake or the eruption of a super volcano qualify as a black swan event? The answer is yes. One black swan event that poses a risk right now are the massive super volcanos long overdue to erupt and another black swan event is the tectonic plates that are generating incredible pressure as they grind against each other and will result in massive earthquakes. The United States has both the massive Yellowstone super volcano and the San Andreas Fault as well as the Ring of Fire. Could a black swan event jeopardize the very existence of the United States? Is it possible one or more events could set the United States up for an invasion from the King of the North? Does the Bible foretell of an earthquake so large and powerful that mountains are leveled and the islands fled away? The beginning of these events is referred to as “The Beginning of Sorrows” and will lead up to the “Great Tribulation”. These are some of the many signs Jesus gave us to help prepare us for His return. Dr. Thiel gives us understanding of some of the signs to watch for as he goes into detail on these events and shines the light of Bible Prophecy on helping the Christian understand the times we are in and prepare for Christ’s return.
