Can Anybody Count the 6.0's?

O.K...this is getting out of hand. Another earthquake struck China and it was greater than a 6.0 on the Richter scales. Just to remind everyone, for all of recorded history, the entire earth usually experienced 5-10 quakes per year at that magnitude. In the past three years, the number has skyrocketed to 50-60 per year! Again I ask...isn't that something we are supposed to be watching for? Didn't Jesus mention earthquakes as one of the signs that ushers in the last days? It sure seems like a major birth pang to me.
