With all of the wickedness (think homosexual marriage, transgenderism, genital mutilation, abortion) plus the wars waging in the Middle East and the eastern portion of Europe, one has to wonder if we are the generation that is going to live through the apocalyptic vision contained in the book of Revelation in the Bible? We recently witnessed Russia do what amounts to a simulation of what a nuclear assault would look like on Ukraine’s fourth largest city. Where’s all the alarm? Why is no one seemingly concerned about this blowing up — literally — into a third global conflict, this time a nuclear one?
Many biblical scholars over the years have pointed out that Jesus warned His followers in the New Testament gospels that there would be “wars and rumors of wars” during what is called “the last days.” Are these the last days? If they are, we’re headed for war. Just look at Revelation 6:8 which tells us that one of the main reasons a fourth of the human population is wiped out during the seal judgments is war…
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
If this interpretation of the book of Revelation is correct, then it means at some point in human history we’re going to see war so destructive it devastates our population. We’re much closer to this time now than we were during the Second World War.
Just a few days ago, a British missile was launched from Ukraine and hit a military base located in Russia. It ended up wounding a top North Korean general.
A senior North Korean general was wounded in a recent Ukrainian strike in Russia’s Kursk region, Western officials said Thursday. It is the first time Western officials have said that a high-ranking North Korean military officer has become a casualty in the escalating Russia-Ukraine conflict. More than 10,000 North Korean troops are deployed in Kursk as the Kremlin tries to repel Ukrainian troops who mounted an offensive there in August, U.S. officials have said.
Is this the first step toward a global war? It’s no longer a battle just between Russia and Ukraine. North Korea is involved too. The former head of the Ukrainian military made a declaration during a speech that World War III started in 2024.
Ukraine’s former military Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny said that the direct involvement of Russia’s autocratic allies in its war on Ukraine means that World War III has started. “I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun,” said Zaluzhny, who is now Ukraine’s envoy to the United Kingdom, during a speech at Ukrainska Pravda’s UP100 award ceremony.
“Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,” said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine.
Then you have Russian President Vladimir Putin who is also acknowledging that what is happening right now is a “global” war.
On Thursday President Vladimir Putin issued a stern warning in the wake of Ukraine launching long-range strikes on Russia’s territory utilizing newly approved US and UK long-range missiles. “Kiev has launched a long-range missile strike against military facilities located within internationally-recognized Russian territory,” began his televised address by saying. He confirmed British-made Storm Shadow missiles and US-made HIMARS were fired targets located in Bryansk and Kursk Regions.
He said this action threatens to turn the Ukraine conflict into a global war. “A regional Ukraine conflict instigated by the West has acquired elements of a global one,” Putin spelled out, and noted that these systems cannot be used without the direct operational involvement of Western military specialists.
We were told by Putin himself that if western leaders allowed Ukraine to shoot long-range missiles that were provided by them into Russia, bad things would unfold. And these leaders decided it was a good idea to call his bluff and now we know just how seriously the Russians are about red lines. Not long after the attack on Dnipro, Putin got on television and confess that his nation had just deployed a hypersonic ballistic missile to deliver warheads into Ukraine.
Today Vladimir Putin gave an unscheduled live address to the nation. He claimed that on Nov. 19, six ATACMS missiles — and on Nov. 21, several Storm Shadow missiles — had been used by Ukraine for strikes against targets in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions. According to Putin, Russia retaliated on Nov. 21 with a combined strike against a Ukrainian defense industry facility. In addition, “a field test was conducted in combat conditions” for one of Russia’s newest medium-range weapon systems: a nuclear-free hypersonic ballistic missile. “Our engineers named it ‘Oreshnik’ [‘Hazel’],” Putin declared with a smile.
Things didn’t have to be this way, either. No, we have the Biden administration to thank for this mess. President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election and the current president could have waited and allowed him to decide how to handle Ukraine and Russia. Instead, they took action that will now make it extremely difficult for Trump to bring the conflict to an end. Here’s what Tucker Carlson said about this in a recent interview.
“If you doubt how serious the opposition is to the public, not just to Trump, but to the majority of the country that voted for him, They’re trying to leave him with World War III on the way out,” Carlson urged. Russia is furious about the Biden administration lifting restrictions on use of US developed long range missiles, and Putin has repeatedly stated that such a move would mean NATO countries are at war with Russia.
Carlson continued, “I can’t imagine a more desperate or evil thing for Tony Blinken, who I think is desperate and evil, in my view, to do. Leave him with a war?”
What’s worrisome is that the last part of Revelation 6 seemingly gives a description of a nuclear conflict.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
We could be knocking on the door of the end of the world and the beginning of God’s great judgment against humanity. Regardless, we are all going to die one day and have to stand before the judgment seat of Jesus Christ. Repent of your sins and follow Him before its too late.
