What is reported

USGS monitoring for August 2026 records several significant earthquakes: Colombia on 10 August (magnitude 7.4), Indonesia on 14 August (7.7), Indonesia on 15 August (6.9), Peru on 20 August (6.7 according to USGS). No earthquake of magnitude 7 or more was identified for the period from 28 August to 5 September 2026 in the searches carried out. The catalogue summaries consulted count about ten earthquakes of magnitude 7.0-7.9 for the year 2026, an order of magnitude in line with the historical annual average.

Main objection (in French for now)

The annual number of earthquakes of magnitude 7 or more has been remarkably stable for a century: the 2026 count falls within this norm, and the absence of any new major event from 28 August to 5 September confirms stability rather than an acceleration.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

Matt 24:4-8

I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind. The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place. The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the L…
