Chapter 8: Prophecy 4
Number four, Prophecy 4
In February 2025, a viral video from Myanmar made the blood run cold for everyone who watched it online.
Soldiers shooting unarmed civilians in a marketplace, shouting slurs while laughing hysterically.
That wasn't a tactical mistake.
It was pure evil for entertainment.
What's happening in Myanmar is no longer just a civil war.
It's an absolute descent into madness.
The military hunter cornered and controlling barely 20% of the country is responding with a brutality that has lost every trace of humanity.
The UN has documented over a thousand air strikes.
Schools and hospitals are being incinerated with incendurary bombs. 3 million people have been forced to flee into the jungle with no food or shelter.
But the horror goes beyond the bombs.
We're talking about torture chambers with electric shocks, gang rapes used as weapons of terror, public executions of children, and Buddhist temples desecrated to serve as military bases.
Faced with this level of atrocity, political analysis falls short.
But the Bible does give us a key to understanding it.
The Apostle Paul gave an exact diagnosis of this moral collapse when he wrote, "In the last days, perilous times will come for men will be lovers of themselves, without natural affection, unforgiving, brutal, despisers of good."
The key phrase here is without natural affection.
This describes the loss of the most basic empathy, that fundamental humanity that makes us recoil in horror at others suffering and protect the innocent.
What we're witnessing in Myanmar is this prophecy unfolding in real time.
When laughter erupts in the middle of a massacre and power matters more than a child's life, we're no longer looking at a simple political conflict.
We're living through the perilous times the apostle foresaw.
And if 2025 showed us the death of empathy, 2026 threatens to plunge us into an even deeper spiritual darkness.
