Greece and Turkey Struck by Large Pair of Earthquakes

Both Greece and Turkey suffered the effects of two very large earthquakes on Friday, with Turkey currently taking the majority of the damage; Casualties are reported as well.


Following a massive 6.6 earthquake with its epicenter located in the Aegean Sea, both Greece and Turkey are feeling its effects. Turkey, however, is taking the majority of the damage. At least one report suggests that the magnitude of the first earthquake may have even reached 7.0. Furthermore, a second earthquake took place in Turkey shortly after the first that measured in at 5.5.

Well over a dozen buildings could be seen collapsing in Izmir (biblically known as Smyrna). The Greek island of Samos also faced damage, as a small church collapsed. Additionally, two teenagers were killed.

As of Friday afternoon, at least 14 people have been killed in Turkey. One of the casualties is reported to have been a drowning, as several streets were flooded in the process, especially in the coastal city of Izmir. The quake could be felt as far away as Istanbul, and according to local officials, more than 100 aftershocks have been experienced.

In addition to the 19 known deaths, several hundred injuries are reported so far.

Where The Church Stands On Israel And Its Future Is Much More Than A Simple Theological Disagreement

What we believe about Israel and its future is of utmost importance. No church is neutral on the matter of Israelโ€™s place in Bible prophecy. Many pastors say that such matters pertaining to the end times are of lesser significance than other more weighty matters of the faith. Inย my experience, however, they are the most aggressive in promoting the church as the new Israel and the least tolerant of those who disagree with them on this topic. Even so, some might ask, โ€œWhatโ€™s the big deal?โ€

Unadulterated Antisemitism: Zohran Mamdani And The Heightened Danger Jewish New Yorkers Face

From lox and bagels to Broadway to the sitcomย Seinfeld, the Jewish people and New York City go hand in hand. The nationโ€™s most populous metropolis is home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel: 1.4 million. But since the November 2025 election of the cityโ€™s new anti-Zionist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, many Jewish New Yorkers are wondering if โ€œhomeโ€ will have to be someplace else. New York City long stood as aย goldene medinaโ€”a golden landโ€”where God's chosen people could live freely, something rare anywhere else until Israelโ€™s rebirth in 1948. Now, with the city led by a mayor hostile to the Jewish people and their ancestral homeland, recent events portend a troubling future for New Yorkโ€™s Jewish community.
