Dubbed by locals as a "Gateway to Hell," a sinkhole filled with fire opened up in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjianag in north-western China, which has geologists and mining experts baffled and flocking to the site, while residents steer clear in fear.
Geologist Hu Tan, who is leading the investigation, said: “The air blasting out of the hole is so hot, that if you hold a branch near to it bursts into flames.
Mining expert Cao Jianwen states the "recorded a temperature of around 792C and other experts believe the cause could be a spontaneous combustion of coal, but with other strange events from extreme weather, animal die-offs, strange sightings and more as shown in the second video below from Jason A, many believe we are watching biblical prophecy play out in front of our very eyes. Could this latest fiery opening be yet another sign?
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit[a] and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
According to an RT article on this event, similar phenomena on a larger scale were spotted in Turkmenistan and America’s Pennsylvania. The Mirror UK reports that locals believe "glowing pit is a portal to the Devil himself."
