US Records Driest First Quarter in 131 Years as Megadrought Intensifies

The first three months of 2026 were the driest in 131 years of US recorded history, with 63% of the continental US under drought, winter wheat yields collapsing by half in key states, and a potential record-breaking El Niño forecast for late 2026. Scripture repeatedly identifies famine, failed harvests, and drought as signs accompanying the end times and God's judgment upon nations, making this historic food-supply crisis a significant prophetic marker. Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that famines would characterise the season preceding His return, and Revelation 6 depicts food scarcity and soaring grain prices as a hallmark of the Third Seal judgment.
