This event showcases the USGS's dual-verification system combining automated ShakeMap (V) with crowdsourced 'Did You Feel It?' (II) readings - a technological capability that enables real-time earthquake monitoring and reporting prophesied in Matthew 24:7. This precise measurement and instant public reporting system represents capabilities unavailable in any previous era.
New Mexico 3.5 Quake: USGS ShakeMap Tech Shows Biblical Pattern
📰 What Happened
A magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck 55 kilometers south of Whites City, New Mexico on August 12, 2025 at 6:58 AM UTC. The USGS recorded a depth of 6.10 kilometers with a ShakeMap intensity of V and public-reported DYFI intensity of II. The quake occurred at coordinates 31.671°N 104.368°W, marking significant seismic activity in an area not typically associated with major earthquakes.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The integration of ShakeMap technology with public reporting ('Did You Feel It?') demonstrates how modern systems fulfill Jesus's prophecy about earthquakes being visible signs. The 6.10km precise depth measurement, exact coordinate tracking (31.671°N 104.368°W), and real-time intensity assessment (V) show how technology now enables global earthquake awareness prophesied in Matthew 24. This monitoring network, combined with instant public verification, creates an unprecedented ability to track 'earthquakes in various places' with accuracy that makes these prophetic signs unmistakable to a watching world.
