A prophecy made during a church service in February by US-based Ghanaian preacher, Prophet Jimmy Alla-Mensah, has sparked widespread attention following the recent earthquake that struck Turkey on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
The leader of Jimmy Alla-Mensah Global Ministries and founder of House of Divine Glory Church had, during a Facebook and YouTube livestream on Sunday, February 16, declared that an earthquake was imminent in Turkey. Remarkably, he specifically mentioned a magnitude of 6.3, urging prayers for the nation.
“We lift the nation Turkey before the Lord. I see destruction of the land. And I see 6.3. I see destruction on the land and I see 6.3,” Prophet Alla-Mensah declared in the viral broadcast. “We pray against any earthquake in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We pray against earthquake, any fire-causing explosion, marine attack. May the Lord have mercy.”
Just over two months later, Turkey experienced a 6.2-magnitude earthquake near Istanbul, sending tremors across the region and prompting panic.
According to Turkey’s emergency services, the quake struck at 12:49 p.m. local time at a depth of 6.92 km along the coast of the Sea of Marmara, near Silivri, about 80 km west of Istanbul.
While there were no reported fatalities, authorities confirmed 151 injuries, most of them sustained by people jumping from high places in fear. Thankfully, no major structural damage was recorded, and the nation remains on alert amid continued aftershocks.
Residents described the quake as one of the most powerful felt in recent years. Many spent the night outdoors, particularly in areas like Besiktas, where thousands of students and families gathered in city squares.
To followers of Prophet Alla-Mensah, the timing and specificity of the prophecy only deepened faith in the prophetic ministry, with many calling it a clear sign of divine revelation.
Meanwhile, the prophet and his ministry have since called for continued prayers for Turkey and its people, asking Christians worldwide to intercede for nations at risk of natural disasters.
