Earthquake … the Greek noun seismos is used 7 times in the Book of Revelation.
Here they are …
Revelation 6:12 … And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood …
Revelation 8:5 … the 7th Seal … And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Our verse here, our Text … Revelation 11:13 … And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 11:19 … the 7th Trumpet … And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 16:17-19 … And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Wow, five different quakes mentioned in the Book of Revelation alone!
Look what Jesus said about them as well … Matthew 24:7 … For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

I failed to give this note about the three Woes!
The three Woes …
Revelation 8:13 And I beheld (fourth Trumpet has just sounded), and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
1st Woe … Revelation 9:12 … demon locust invasion … “One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.”
2nd Woe … Two Witnesses and Aftermath … Revelation 11:14 … The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
3rd Woe … includes the 7 Vial Judgments!
