This earthquake's location near Sand Point represents an unusual convergence of three factors not previously seen: 1) Its proximity to the sparsely populated region (1,064 residents) yet triggering widespread tsunami warnings affecting major population centers 600+ miles away, 2) The depth of exactly 20km matching prophetic numbers of testing/waiting, and 3) The timing coinciding with increased volcanic activity in the region.
Alaska M7.3 Quake: Sand Point Tsunami Warning Echoes End-Time Signs
📰 What Happened
A powerful M7.3 earthquake struck near Sand Point, Alaska on July 16, 2025, at 20:37 UTC, prompting tsunami warnings across South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. The quake, centered 87km south of Sand Point at a depth of 20km, affected nearly 1,000 people with strong shaking. Tsunami activity was predicted to reach multiple coastal cities, including Sand Point, Cold Bay, and Kodiak. The National Tsunami Warning Center later downgraded the warning to an advisory at 13:44 AKDT.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The earthquake's impact on Sand Point (population 1,064) versus Anchorage (291,247) illustrates the biblical principle of God using the small to affect the great (1 Cor 1:27). The three specific tsunami arrival times (13:30, 14:25, 14:40) mirror the three-fold pattern of warning in Revelation's trumpets. The fact that structures in this region are specifically noted as 'resistant to earthquake shaking' yet still vulnerable to 'unreinforced brick masonry' parallels Jesus' warning about false security in Matthew 24:44. This event exposes how modern building technologies can create a false sense of safety, potentially deceiving people about their true spiritual condition.
