Grond Splitting Apart in Idaho – Is This a Sign of the End Times as Others are Suggesting? Let’s Consider the Facts.

Lately, social media has lit up with images and videos of a giant ground crack in Idaho—some calling it a sign of the times, others claiming it’s a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. I get it. When the earth shifts and the ground opens, it’s natural to wonder: “Is this the end?”

But let’s take a closer look—not through fear or hype, but with faith and truth.

A Grounded Perspective

The fissure in Idaho, while dramatic, is not the result of an earthquake, volcano, or divine judgment. Instead, it is part of a growing phenomenon throughout the western United States: land subsidence and earth fissures caused by excessive groundwater pumping.

When too much water is drawn from underground aquifers—whether for farming, cities, or industry—the land above can weaken and eventually collapse. The result? Long, deep surface cracks that appear suddenly and grow over time.

Scientists have seen similar fissures in Arizona, Utah, California, and Nevada. These aren’t supernatural signs—they’re consequences of how we manage natural resources.

Is This in the Bible?

No. The Bible is very specific about the signs of the last days. Earthquakes in various places? Yes (Matthew 24:7). The sun and moon darkening? Yes (Revelation 6:12). Global deception, lawlessness, and persecution of believers? Absolutely.

But ground fissures caused by groundwater extraction? That’s not a prophesied event. That’s a man-made environmental issue—one we should be taking seriously for the sake of future generations, but not confusing with biblical warnings.

Discernment in the Last Days

This is a time when discernment is more important than ever. Jesus warned us that “many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11), and that “even the elect” could be misled if they are not watchful (Matthew 24:24).

We must not let our hunger for signs lead us into sensationalism. Not every natural disaster or strange event is a trumpet of judgment. Some are warnings to steward the earth more wisely. Others are just the groanings of a creation that has long been subjected to human mismanagement (Romans 8:22).

Stay Awake – But Stay Grounded

Let’s keep watching the signs of the times, but also be careful to separate actual prophecy from scientific phenomena. The Bible is not silent about what’s coming—and when it speaks, it is clear and purposeful.

Let’s not chase shadows. Instead, let’s chase Jesus. Let’s stay in His Word, walk in love, and be the light in a dark world. And when the real prophetic signs unfold—there will be no confusion about it.

Don’t be swayed by fear or viral videos. Study the Gospel Jesus Christ preached while He walked the earth. Anchor your faith in the Bible—and in the Savior who is returning soon. Everything else is just noise.
