Earthquakes are sometimes connected to God’s judgment, especially in the book of Revelation. However, we also find them connected to the act of resurrection—for example, in Matthew 27:52 and 28:2, and when the two witnesses are taken up into heaven in Revelation 11:13.
This is why we believe the “great earthquake” of Revelation 6:13 will be the result of the resurrection of the dead in Christ described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:12-55.
For more on that idea, we recommend the excellent book Earthquake Resurrection by David W. Lowe.
