Nature appears to have gone haywire.
First, sightings of rabbits with tentacle-like tumors on their faces broke the internet, followed up by “zombie squirrels” covered in warts. Now, we have mutant deer.
That’s right.

According to The U.S. Sun, these strange sightings of deer with large pus-filled blister clusters have shocked social media as these cases have been uncovered in New York, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Officially the condition is “deer cutaneous fibroma,” or deer warts.

The Daily Mail also reported how these symptoms in the deer are from the same larger family of papillomaviruses that affect humans with issues like common and plantar warts. It is believed that these warts are being caused by insects that are spreading the virus.
So, with all of these strange sightings, is it possible that what we are seeing is a preview further along into the end times? Revelation speaks of plagues and pestilence sweeping across the earth, and these unusual outbreaks among animals may be an early foreshadowing of that time. The appearance of mutant deer, zombie-like squirrels and other unnatural conditions in the animal kingdom may be an indication that creation itself is unraveling as we draw nearer to the return of Christ.
During the Great Tribulation, the book of Revelation describes terrifying plagues where both people and creation suffer under judgments unlike anything the world has ever seen. While these sightings may not be those exact judgments, they serve as a prophetic warning. Believers are urged to stay spiritually vigilant, keeping their eyes fixed on Christ.
