The seismic doublet. The two
0:02
earthquakes that recently occurred in
0:04
Venezuela were the fulfillment of prophecies made
0:07
by postmodern religious figures. That will be
0:10
our topic today. I invite you to
0:12
stay to find out our answer
0:18
After the fateful double
0:21
earthquake on June 24th that brought
0:24
misfortune to the Venezuelan population,
0:27
some religious leaders took to
0:29
social media to attribute to themselves or to
0:33
previously mentioned prophetic announcements that this earthquake was
0:36
the fulfillment of prophecies
0:38
indicating that God would punish
0:40
Venezuela. Many people take these
0:43
words and blindly believe that
0:46
God really acts that way.
0:49
On this occasion, we will not
0:51
address the topic in general terms, but rather
0:53
we will base our discussion on a video that was
0:55
published here on this channel 14
0:57
years ago, on October 8,
1:00
2012. This video is the most viewed and most
1:03
played on our channel, and in it
1:06
we pointed out some prophetic pronouncements
1:08
made by a Jewish Christian
1:14
We stated, in our opinion,
1:16
that it contained many inaccurate and
1:20
incorrect details that were not true, and that
1:22
this allowed us to affirm
1:25
that these prophetic pronouncements were
1:27
erroneous. And since, after 14 years,
1:30
this video has accumulated a number of
1:32
comments both for and against what was
1:35
said there, we consider it an
1:37
opportune moment to revisit
1:40
this video and analyze whether what
1:43
happened in Venezuela was actually the
1:45
fulfillment of prophecies by postmodern religious figures
1:49
I am Leonardo Gómez, a biblical scholar.
1:51
Welcome to a new video reaction.
1:54
Very well, we have on screen the video
1:55
to which we have referred and this
1:58
video said that on June 3, 2010,
2:01
exactly the day after
2:03
Chávez's declaration, when Chávez
2:05
cursed the State of Israel, Dr.
2:06
David Daimon, a missionary and
2:08
international speaker of Jewish origin,
2:10
president and founder of the
2:12
History of the Future ministry, made a
2:14
prophetic announcement and we are going to see what it
2:16
said. I've muted the audio of this
2:19
video because it contains music that I don't
2:24
on YouTube later due to
2:25
copyright issues. So let's read what
2:27
appears on the screen. From the city of
2:29
Lima, he prophetically announced the
2:31
following: "God will punish Hugo Chávez
2:33
and Venezuela. A natural disaster is
2:37
blood, death, devastation, a
2:40
violent earthquake." Very well, here we see
2:43
the prophetic announcement that a
2:45
violent earthquake would come.
2:47
Next, I want to show you
2:49
a previous video response
2:52
to comments on this video, which we
2:55
also have published on the channel.
2:57
This is what I said on
2:59
December 4, 2024, responding to
3:02
comments on that video. Let's now
3:04
listen to what I said there. For
3:07
David Diamond's words came true,
3:09
some deny that it was a
3:11
prophecy, then others claim that it did
3:13
. And I simply said what I
3:16
told you in the video, which has been written here for
3:19
12 years. I said, number one,
3:22
the first thing to clarify is
3:24
that Chávez did not curse the people of
3:26
Israel, but the Zionist state. Number
3:29
two, the events that occurred at the
3:31
Mari Pérez synagogue were not
3:33
politically motivated nor were they promoted by... The
3:35
government. Number three, you don't have to be a
3:37
fortune teller or prophet to know that a
3:38
cancer patient has a high
3:40
probability of dying. Number four,
3:44
an earthquake were to occur in Venezuela someday,
3:46
which has been prophesied by several people
3:48
since before Chávez was
3:50
president, that doesn't imply that it's the
3:52
fulfillment of this prophecy. It's something
3:54
that could happen someday, and I hope it
3:56
never does. Look, there are
3:59
modern prophets announcing a violent
4:03
earthquake for Venezuela. I don't know
4:05
how many years have passed, from the evangelical Christian community
4:07
and from countless other
4:09
religious groups, including these
4:11
Christians or this Jewish Christian.
4:15
someday, if an earthquake happens in
4:17
Venezuela, the religious people
4:19
are going to say, "There it is, the
4:22
prophecy was fulfilled." Well, if that's the case, then they can
4:25
say anything, wait 1,000
4:26
years, and when those 1,000 years have passed, they'll say it was the
4:28
fulfillment of that prophecy.
4:31
As I said in the video on that occasion, I
4:34
repeat it today in response to the question
4:36
we asked from the beginning: Was the
4:39
earthquake or Is the recent double earthquake
4:42
in Venezuela a fulfillment
4:44
of prophetic pronouncements by
4:45
postmodern prophets, a sign of
4:48
divine punishment already foretold
4:50
against Venezuela? And in this
4:52
particular case, I must say that
4:54
16 years have passed since Mr.
4:58
David Diamond prophesied
5:01
an impending earthquake in Venezuela.
5:04
Today, many who watch this video on the
5:09
David Diamond's prophetic words have come true." And as we
5:11
have already stated in this video
5:13
, we have no intention
5:15
of speaking well or ill of David
5:17
Diamond. That is not the purpose of this
5:20
video, but rather of the content of what is said in
5:23
the video. Therefore, we maintain
5:26
our position on this matter. A
5:28
seismic movement, an earthquake, is a
5:31
natural event that is expected to occur
5:35
periodically around the world because
5:37
the Earth is composed of
5:39
tectonic plates that are in motion and that sometimes
5:41
become locked and accumulate
5:45
all that accumulated energy is released, and
5:47
large earthquakes occur. You don't
5:50
need to be a prophet, you don't need to be a
5:52
fortune teller. To know that at some
5:55
point there will be an earthquake in a certain
5:57
place. It's like me making a
5:59
prophetic announcement saying that
6:01
an earthquake will soon hit Japan. Japan is one
6:04
of the regions in the world where
6:05
seismic activity is most frequent.
6:08
So, we'll address the question of whether God punishes humanity in
6:10
this way with earthquakes
6:15
in another video, but today,
6:17
as a summary of this presentation of what
6:20
was a prophecy by David Diamond 16 years ago
6:23
, we had already said that
6:25
an earthquake could occur
6:27
in Venezuela at some point, and that when it
6:29
did, as it has, it would be
6:31
credited as the fulfillment of
6:34
given prophecies. In our case,
6:36
we consider these to be
6:38
reckless claims. We believe that a
6:40
seismic event like the one that recently occurred
6:42
in Venezuela is a tragic enough event to be
6:46
perspective of religious extremism,
6:48
making assertions and arguments that
6:51
involve and misrepresent
6:54
God's name in the midst of all the
6:55
tragedy. Regarding the content
6:57
of the prophetic announcements given in this
6:59
video by David Diamond, I will... I'll leave a link
7:01
in the description of this video so
7:03
you can watch the full video where I
7:05
answer each of the points. But
7:07
today, we specifically wanted to talk
7:09
about the earthquake that occurred in
7:12
Venezuela. In short, for us, what
7:14
happened in Venezuela doesn't correspond to
7:16
any prophecy given by
7:19
postmodern prophets, but simply to events
7:22
that regularly occur in
7:27
natural events. That's our opinion,
7:29
which I believe deserves respect, and I'd also
7:31
like to know the opinions of
7:33
those who watch us, who also deserve
7:34
respect, whether they agree or
7:36
disagree with what we think and
7:39
say in this space. Therefore, I
7:41
invite you to leave your opinion in the
7:42
comments. I'll be reading and
7:45
responding to them as best I can, and with that,
7:47
we'll say goodbye with an
7:49
invitation for next time. If
7:51
you want more content on this topic,
7:53
let me know in the comments. If you
7:55
like videos like this, give it a like and
7:58
share this content with
7:59
anyone you think might be interested in
8:01
what we've discussed here. And the
8:03
invitation is for next time.
8:05
See you. Shalom to all. Until
