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.

This Week in Prophecy: Assad Regime Out in Syria, California Quake

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Burden of Damascus, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 8, 2024 by paulthepoke

Isaiah 17:1 This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.

The Assad regime and rule in Syria is over after 50 years.

The Syrian Regime has fallen as Damascus and the SAF surrendered to rebel factions. The last remaining SAF ‘control’ along the Mediterranean coast remains to be formally taken over. The SNA have carried out attacks on the SDF across their lines of contact.

Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan has achieved a major victory.

Turkey has defeated Russia and Iran in Syria. It has to be said clearly.

President Elect Donald Trump has weighed in on the events taking place in Syria.

Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad. Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years. This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all hell broke out, with Russia stepping in. But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them. There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid. In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!

Quakes in various places…

Coast of Northern California

A powerful magnitude 7.3 earthquake has struck off the coast of California, triggering tsunami sirens and prompting a tsunami warning for the western coastline, including the San Francisco Bay Area. The National Tsunami Warning Center has confirmed the earthquake’s magnitude and issued a warning about the potential for powerful waves and strong currents. Residents in coastal areas are strongly advised to evacuate immediately, move to higher ground or inland, and avoid coastal waters until authorities confirm it is safe to return.

This Week in Prophecy: Into South Gaza, More Red Sea Piracy, Quakes & Pestilence, Snow, Antisemitism

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Pestilence, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 6, 2023 by paulthepoke

1 Samuel 17:4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

For those who are not familiar, Goliath is an ancient Philistine. He was roughly 9 feet tall and a few inches.

The modern day Gaza Strip is located in the ancient land of the Philistines. Ancient Gath appears to be close to what is modern day Kiryat Gat, Israel.

And to this day, this geography remains an area of conflict.

Luke 21:11a There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences.

The Philippines has experienced an active seismic week. Two earthquakes over 7.0 magnitude plus over 100 more after shocks.

At the same time of increased quake activity in the Philippines, Indonesia experienced a significant volcanic eruption in West Sumatra, Mount Marapai. The death toll currently stands at 22.

About four to five days ago, there was a coordinated media effort to scare the hell out of the world with news regarding “White Lung Syndrome”. This outbreak originated in China of course. Now in the press… crickets…

Antisemitism is on the rise around the world. Congressional hearings were held with the Presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT. These three ladies are charged with the job of overseeing the education of the best students.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a Harvard alumni, had multiple rounds of questions for the Presidents of Harvard, MIT, and UPenn, for their failure to condemn antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric on campus.

Job 38:22-23 Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?

God is talking to Job. Here is a likely hint into the end times scenario. It seems plausible as “the day” draws closer, frozen precipitation will increase.
