You said *Earthquakes* have nothing to do with the 2nd Coming of Christ...I am just saying what would the correlation be between that article and the Gospel of Matthew..
Matthew 24:7
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes....
But Matthew 24:7 is not referring to the Second Coming. It is referring to the events that would come upon “this generation” by which we understand Jesus to be speaking of the contemporary generation of Jews in the 1st century that would experience the “days of vengeance” (Luke 21:22).
Jesus told His disciple to flee to the mountains when they saw Jerusalem “surrounded by armies” (Luke 21:20). The parallel passage in Matthew 24 identifies this as the “abomination of desolation” when the armies approach Jerusalem to defile and destroy the temple. This is precisely what happened in AD70. Jesus was speaking personally to His disciples when He told them:
See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.The earthquakes of Matthew 24 are in the past, not in our future.Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place … then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
