And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. ~ Revelation 11:5

People often call earthquakes ‘acts of God’; and it is not hard to see why. Major earthquakes are some of the most powerful natural events that happen in our world. The ground across whole countries may shake so severely that buildings fall down. Earthquakes happen suddenly. Although they may only last a few seconds, the results can be terrible.

This passage is describing a future event that will happen in the last years before Christ’s return. At that time, people will become very evil. They will carry out some of the worst acts that will ever happen in our world (Revelation 11:13). ~ From: usefulbible.com

And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. ~ Revelation 11:13

kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. The singular (kingdom) is the preferred reading. Despite its many political and cultural divisions, the Bible views the world spiritually as one kingdom, with one ruler—Satan (Joh_12:31; Joh_14:30; Joh_16:11; 2Co_4:4). Following Satan’s lead, the human rulers of this world are generally hostile to Christ (Psa_2:2; Act_4:26). The long rebellion of the world kingdom will end with the victorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ to defeat His enemies and establish His messianic kingdom (Isa_2:2-3; Dan_2:44; Dan_7:13-14, Dan_7:18, Dan_7:22, Dan_7:27; Luk_1:31-33). This kingdom also belongs to God the Father. ~ MacArthur Bible Commentary
