This earthquake's shallow 10km depth combined with its location along Indonesia's ancient maritime trade routes creates a prophetically significant pattern. The precise coordinates (10.137°S 119.180°E) align with historical sea paths that will become crucial during end-times trading disruptions. The dual intensity readings (ShakeMap IV vs DYFI VI) suggest unusual ground movement patterns not typically seen in this region.

📰 What Happened
A 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck 78 kilometers south of Tambolaka, Indonesia on July 17, 2025, at 09:04:23 UTC. The seismic event occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers in coordinates 10.137°S 119.180°E. The USGS rated this as a Green alert level for economic losses and fatalities. ShakeMap recorded maximum intensity of IV, while Did You Feel It? reports indicated intensity VI based on two ground reports.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The earthquake's location at 10.137°S 119.180°E positions it directly in the maritime corridor that Revelation describes as critical for end-times commerce. The shallow 10km depth, coupled with the discrepancy between ShakeMap IV and DYFI VI intensities, suggests subsurface changes that could affect future shipping routes. This aligns with Revelation 18's prophecy about the collapse of maritime trade systems. The timing (09:04:23 UTC) correlates with prophetic patterns of increasing seismic activity in areas historically significant to global trade networks.
