Chapter 9: Prophecy 3
Number three, Joel 2.
If you thought the human cruelty unleashed during Myanmar's civil war was terrifying, what happened on March 28th, 2025 revealed that even nature itself seems to have joined the conflict.
At 9:43 in the morning, while the country was already bleeding from war, the earth roared.
A massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay.
It wasn't just a tremor.
It was total devastation.
The ground split open.
Historic buildings crumbled like paper.
And within minutes, the tragedy had its numbers.
45,500 people dead and 30,000 homes reduced to rubble with losses reaching 12 billion.
But the most shocking part wasn't the earthquake itself.
It was what came next.
When the buildings collapsed, gas lines and electrical cables snapped.
The old wooden houses turned into torches.
Massive fires devoured Mandalay's central market.
And for days, towering columns of black smoke rose into the sky, visible from miles away.
They were so thick they blotted out the sun over a nation already living in darkness because of civil war.
This is where prophecy stops being a metaphor and becomes a literal chronicle.
The prophet Joel had warned about this, centuries ago, and I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
Joel described three terrible signs and Myanmar saw all of them fulfilled in a single day.
One, blood, the blood shed by thousands of earthquake victims.
Two, fire. The uncontrollable fire that consumed the city.
Three, columns of smoke and in the sky, the unmistakable sign, dense columns of smoke that darkened everything.
The people trapped between the bombs of war and fire erupting from the earth had no idea they were living out a Bible verse in real time.
Myanmar in 2025 became the exact setting for the judgments described by Joel.
It was a convergence of disasters that sounded like a deafening alarm, a warning that by 2026, the prophetic clock is about to strike midnight.
