Russia fired 74 missiles and 496 drones at Kyiv overnight, killing at least 18 people, wounding more than 90, and devastating residential buildings across Ukraine's capital. The scale of this attack — with Ukraine's own ambassador invoking the word 'Apocalypse' to describe what residents witnessed — reflects the escalating global warfare Christ warned would precede His return. Jesus explicitly identified 'wars and rumours of wars' and 'nation rising against nation' as key signs of the end times, with such conflicts intensifying as birth pains before the final age.
