Venezuela Earthquakes Cause $19.6B Damage, 5,000+ Dead

Twin earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, causing an estimated $19.6 billion in damage, killing more than 5,000 people, and displacing millions across seven states home to 40% of the country's population. Jesus warned that earthquakes in diverse places would be a defining sign of the last days, and events like this — growing in frequency and devastation — align precisely with that prophetic warning. Scripture describes these disasters as 'birth pains,' intensifying signals pointing to the imminent return of Christ.
