Twin earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 struck Venezuela's Caracas metro area, collapsing buildings, killing hundreds officially, with the USGS warning the true death toll could reach between 10,000 and 100,000 and up to 45,000 people reported missing. Jesus explicitly identified earthquakes in diverse places as one of the unmistakable signs marking the beginning of the end-times birth pangs, and the escalating frequency and devastation of such events aligns precisely with that prophetic warning. Scripture records Christ's words: 'There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences' — signs He said would precede His return.
