Venezuelan Earthquakes Kill 2,200 as Man Survives 8 Days in Rubble

Twin 7.2 and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes struck Venezuela's northern coast, killing nearly 2,200 people, injuring over 11,000, and destroying an estimated 58,000 buildings, with a security guard miraculously rescued after eight days trapped underground. Jesus explicitly listed earthquakes in diverse places as one of the defining signs preceding His return, warning His followers to recognise these escalating events as birth pangs of the end times. Scripture records: 'There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven' (Luke 21:11), framing large-scale seismic disasters not as random tragedy but as prophetic markers of the approaching end of the age.
