Venezuela Earthquakes Kill Over 1,400 as 69,000 Remain Unaccounted For

Twin earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude struck Venezuela within a minute of each other, killing at least 1,430 people, injuring 3,200, and leaving nearly 69,000 unaccounted for, with the UN estimating $6.7 billion in damage. Jesus explicitly warned that earthquakes in various places would be among the birth pangs marking the approach of the end of the age, and the increasing frequency and destructive power of such events aligns directly with that prophetic framework. 'There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven' (Luke 21:11).
