Global 'Permadrought' Now Affects 75% of World Population

NASA satellite data and a UN report confirm that 75% of the world's population lives in nations experiencing net water loss, with the US wheat harvest projected to hit its lowest level since 1972. Jesus explicitly warned that famines would be one of the defining signs preceding His return, and the accelerating collapse of global freshwater systems is bringing that warning into sharp focus. Scripture records Christ's words: 'There will be famines and earthquakes in various places — all these are the beginning of birth pains' (Matthew 24:7-8).
