Venezuela Earthquakes Kill 188 as Twin 7.5 and 7.2 Quakes Devastate Coast

Two powerful earthquakes — measuring 7.5 and 7.2 in magnitude — struck Venezuela's north coast late Wednesday, killing at least 188 people, collapsing over 100 buildings, and leaving thousands feared dead in the hardest-hit La Guaira region. Jesus explicitly warned that earthquakes in diverse places would be among the signs marking the approach of the end of the age, and the increasing frequency and intensity of major seismic events worldwide aligns with that prophetic pattern. Matthew 24:7 records Christ's words: 'There will be famines and earthquakes in various places — all these are the beginning of birth pains.'
