Quakes in various places… -Jesus
This is different. For those of you who are new to the website, we only cover quakes 7.0 or greater because the frequency of 5.0 – 6.0 is too numerous to covers.
Yesterday, we had three 7.0 or greater earthquakes on planet Earth.
On June 24, 2026, two powerful back-to-back earthquakes struck northwestern and central Venezuela, causing significant damage, casualties, and widespread disruption.
First quake (foreshock): Magnitude 7.2 (initially reported as 7.1), occurring at approximately 6:04 p.m. local time (22:04 UTC). Epicenter near San Felipe in Yaracuy state (about 15–23 km northeast of San Felipe or related areas like Morón in Carabobo), at a shallow depth of around 20 km. en.wikipedia.org
Second quake (mainshock): Magnitude 7.5, striking just 39–40 seconds later. Epicenter also in the Yaracuy region (e.g., near Yumare or Morón). This was Venezuela’s strongest earthquake since 1900. nytimes.com
Casualties: At least 188 confirmed dead, over 1,500 injured, with hundreds more trapped under rubble and thousands feared missing or unaccounted for. The death toll is expected to rise significantly as rescue operations continue. aljazeera.com
Estimates range from 10,000 to 41,000 people missing.
Damage: Widespread building collapses in Caracas and surrounding areas (e.g., Chacao, Altamira, Los Palos Grandes), damage to infrastructure like Simón Bolívar International Airport (cracked walls, debris), power outages, and telecommunications failures. Many people were left homeless. Oil infrastructure reportedly sustained minimal damage. cnn.com
Response: Venezuela declared a state of emergency. International aid and search-and-rescue teams (including from the US) have been deployed. Tsunami alerts were briefly issued for Caribbean coastlines but lifted. reuters.com

Obadiah 1:20a And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath…
I suspect the immediate outcome in Lebanon with Israeli security of land could provide us clarity where we are on God’s prophetic timeline.
If Israel steps back and gives Lebanon responsibility of security south of the Litani River, the prophetic can has been kicked down the road.
Prophecy tells Israel will eventually have control of southern Lebanon up to ancient Zarephath, essentially the Litani River. When that occurs, we are one step closer to His coming…

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – The Green Iraq Observatory warned on Monday that aquatic life in the Euphrates River is “not suitable” for human consumption and that the river remains heavily polluted, citing record-low water levels and declining environmental conditions.

Something has changed! A Global down turn is underway; it can be seen in the Industrial statistics, the”Yield Curve” Spreads, the Baltic Dry Index. The slowdown can be seen in declining Home Mortgage Applications and increasingly higher Auto loan delinquencies; much, much higher credit card debt with slower repayments. Not surprisingly, the Spring Real Estate market in many regions of the US are exhibiting slowing sales when Property sales should be seasonally expanding. These are all signs of an aging Business Cycle.
