Jesus told us that unless He shortened the time of the Great Tribulation that no flesh would survive.
Isaiah 17 tells of the day when Damascus will be a heap of rubble and that it will be made unfit for human habitation.
Both of these prophecies lead one to believe that maybe nuclear weapons are going to be playing a part in the Last Days leading up to the 2nd coming of Christ. (Not to be confused with Christ coming to snatch his bride away in the rapture)
Today we see this article and believe it applies to toward the potential coming fulfillment of prophecy.
Pentagon sees increased chances of nuclear conflict, newly disclosed report says
A Pentagon report secretly published in 2020 and first disclosed this week, raises the potential for some form of armed conflict between nuclear-armed powers.
The Pentagon’s “Joint Nuclear Options” report, dated April 17, 2020, was released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by the Federation of American Scientists.
The report states, “Despite concerted US efforts to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in international affairs and to negotiate reductions in the number of nuclear weapons, since 2010 no potential adversary has reduced either the role of nuclear weapons in its national security strategy or the number of nuclear weapons it fields.”
“Rather, they have moved decidedly in the opposite direction,” the report continues. “As a result, there is an increased potential for regional conflicts
involving nuclear-armed adversaries in several parts of the world and the potential for adversary nuclear escalation in crisis or conflict.”
The report goes on to list the threats posed by four different countries that either possess or are actively pursuing nuclear weapons; Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.
The report notes Russia is modernizing Soviet-era nuclear systems and developing and employing new nuclear warheads and launchers, three new intercontinental-range nuclear weapon systems; a hypersonic glide vehicle; a nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered ground-launched cruise missile; and a nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered, undersea autonomous torpedo.
“Russia’s strategic nuclear modernization has increased, and will continue to increase, its warhead delivery capability, which provides Russia with the ability to rapidly expand its deployed warhead numbers,” the report states.
On China, the report states, “China continues to increase the number, capabilities, and protection of its nuclear forces. China has developed a new road-mobile, strategic, intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM); a new multi-warhead version of its DF-5 silo-based ICBM; and its most advanced ballistic missile submarine armed with new submarine-launched ballistic
missiles (SLBMs). It has also announced development of a new nuclear-capable strategic bomber, giving China a nuclear triad.”
Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the U.S. attempted to negotiate a new nuclear agreement with Russia and China, but China has been historically resistant to arms-control agreements. China has continued to tout its nuclear weapons systems during the Biden administration. Last week, China announced it was also building more than 100 new nuclear-capable missile silos.
Since taking office, Biden has also sought to negotiate a U.S. return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which is meant to bar Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran has already exceeded the nuclear development thresholds set out in the 2015 deal.
Efforts between the Trump administration and North Korea to negotiate a denuclearized Korean peninsula stalled out in 2019. In March, North Korea also threatened the Biden administration to end joint U.S.-South Korean military drills, “If [the Biden administration] wants to sleep in peace for coming four years."
It seems to be becoming more and more obvious to the people that I talk to that this world cannot continue on the trajectory that it's on. Something has to break.
It's being reported that Russia and China are exercising the militaries together more and more often. Japan has even warned the USA that they could be getting ready for a "Pearl Harbor type event". Can you even imagine what would go down if China and Russia launched some type of midnight attack on the shores of California?
We pray that his WON'T HAPPEN until after the rapture. Jesus seems to tell us that things will be pretty normal in the days before the rapture so we are going to hold to that.
But maybe Russia and China are practicing their attack because the rapture is going to happen soon and their attack will happen suddenly following that supernatural event? We can certainly hope and pray that Jesus is coming soon!
"While Biden was saying 'peace and safety' and promising free student loans, free national incomes, free health care and free unemployment checks to everyone, destruction came upon them all suddenly."
Hmmmmmmm.........
