World War III & the New World Order

World War III & the New World Order

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,"

Matthew 24:7

It is amazing that Israel--about the size of New Jersey, with slightly more than one-tenth of one percent of the global population--is at the center of global controversy. Of course, those who know prophecy understand that the Bible forewarned this would happen in the last days. No matter how much effort global leaders put into achieving “peace in the Middle East”, it never seems to happen, and controversy is posed to escalate to a dangerous heightened level at any given moment.

When the Middle East erupts, it could propel us into World War III. This clash of the kingdoms and nations (Matthew 24:7) could begin with any number of scenarios: for instance, the sunni vs. shia / Arab vs. Persian power-struggle, or conflict between Israel and her surrounding enemies (Syria, Palestinians, Egypt, Jordan, etc.). As one of the first prophetic events in Daniel 8, there will be a US-European-Israeli battering of Iran and other geopolitical conflicts over nations and power, which could summons aggressive Russian responses against NATO and the U.S., and quite likely thermonuclear war. On the other hand, it could be a spark involving North Korea, or a totally unforeseen incident, that causes a flare-up that cannot be contained and escalates to thermo-nuclear war.

As for the prophetic warnings, a close look at Daniel 7 indicates that three nations are particularly vulnerable to a Russian Bear attack (horns/ribs-Daniel 7:5,8) on the Mediterranean coastline--(i.e., Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal), but the Scriptures are not explicit and we cannot know exactly which three will be uprooted. How do we know the general area? Prophecy gives the direction of the growing power--the "little horn" [little nation--the Vatican], which Daniel wrote "started small but grew in power to the south [i.e. Italy, Spain, Portugal] and to the east [Greece] and toward the Beautiful Land" [Israel] (Daniel 8:9 ). It's interesting to note that these southern European nations are facing newsworthy financial stress and internal turmoil, and Russia may consider them wounded and vulnerable to an attack. Out of this holocaust will emerge the power-base of the Man of sin, known as Antichrist.

As for the West in Bible prophecy, America's Middle-East victories look to be short-lived, as the U.S. will likely experience war, financial collapse and other stresses/losses, and her fall from superpower status will be quick and decisive. But end-time destruction is not isolated; no home will be left unaffected. All mankind will experience calamity and fear that the end of the age has arrived; however, it will only be the "beginnings of sorrows," (Matthew 24:8).

Jesus said, “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains," Matthew 24:4-8.

The Doomsday Clock has served as a symbol of World War III close calls since the Truman Doctrine went into effect in 1947. The Truman Doctrine was a policy set forth by U.S. President Harry Truman in a speech on March 12, 1947, stating that the U.S. would support Greece and Turkey with economic and military aid to prevent their falling into the Soviet sphere. Historians often consider it as the start of the Cold War. The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face, maintained by the board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago. The closer the clock is to midnight, the closer the world is estimated to be to global disaster; and, in early 2017 the clock was moved up to just 2.5 minutes before midnight. Then, on January 23, 2020, the Clock was moved further to 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) before midnight, meaning that the Clock's status today is the closest to midnight since the Clock's start in 1947. The Bulletin' executive chairman, Jerry Brown, said "the dangerous rivalry and hostility among the superpowers increases the likelihood of nuclear blunder".^[5]

The nuclear age dawned in the 1940s when scientists learned how to release the energy stored within the atom. Immediately, they thought of two potential uses—an unparalleled weapon and a new energy source. The United States built the first atomic bombs during World War II, which they used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Within two decades, Britain, the Soviet Union, China, and France had also established nuclear weapon programs. Since then, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea have built nuclear weapons as well.

For most of the Cold War, overt hostility between the United States and Soviet Union, coupled with their enormous nuclear arsenals, defined the nuclear threat. The U.S. arsenal peaked at about 30,000 warheads in the mid-1960s and the Soviet arsenal at 40,000 warheads in the 1980s, dwarfing all other nuclear weapon states. The scenario for nuclear holocaust was simple: Heightened tensions between the two jittery superpowers would lead to an all-out nuclear exchange. Today, the risk also remains for an accidental or inadvertent nuclear exchange between the United States, her European allies and Russia, with nuclear countries maintaining well over 1,000 warheads on high alert, ready to launch within tens of minutes.

The truth of the matter is, the world is stocked with bio-weapons, nuclear bombs and military machinery the likes of which mankind could not have imagined just 100 years ago. In addition to nuclear holocaust, computers now have interconnected the nations of the world to the point that when one or more nations experience financial distress, the whole house of financial cards will collapse. And, in the wake of global economic collapse, riots, strikes, homelessness and pandemonium will increase, leading to tent cities and gangs of marauders. Once of door of prophecy has been opened, it cannot be shut. The world will never be the same.
