Matthew 24:7 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”
A massive 6.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Peru late Sunday night.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was downgraded from a 7.0 initial reading.
A spokesman for Peru’s fire agency said that they’d received a report of one house being completely destroyed and 19 other buildings. They said many residents fled their homes for large open areas because of the strength of the quake.
Minor damage was reported to 14 homes, three schools and at least one church on top of the 19 buildings seriously damaged.
Authorities said two major landslides had taken place in the aftermath of the quake and aftershocks. Officials are warning of more landslides as the aftershocks continue throughout the region.
