Prepare For Armegeddon - Could WW3 Be On The Horizon




Last week (mid-July 2006), as I was preparing my presentation for the September WUAS Broadcast on the topic of the seven trumpets, several prophetic elements “snapped together” in a way that I had not seen before.

This new discovery leads me to conclude that World War III is on the horizon and a nuclear exchange is likely. To help you appreciate how this conclusion comes from Scripture, a little background information is presented.

Notice Paul’s words: “Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly [e.g., destructive judgments from God], as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.”  underline and insertion mine)

As you know, many Christians believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. They believe the phrase, “the day of the Lord,” refers to a specific moment in the future when Jesus will rapture the church. They use Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 5 to prove that the rapture will occur without warning, “like a thief in the night.”

They believe that Jesus will quietly and secretly come to Earth. He will snatch up righteous people and disappear with them. Then, God’s wrath will fall on wicked people who are “left behind.”

The problem with this conclusion is that the Bible mentions “the day of the Lord” eighteen times. In all these cases, the phrase “the day of the Lord” indicates a span of time. In fact, apocalyptic prophecy indicates “the day of the Lord” contains fourteen predetermined events which will require 1,335 days to complete.

Compare Isaiah’s words with those of Paul: “Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Because of this, all hands will go limp, every man’s heart will melt. Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor.

They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. See, the day of the Lord is coming  ‘a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger ‘ to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light.

The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.” , underlines mine)

Second Coming Will Not Come As a Surprise

Here is another problem with the pre-tribulation rapture concept. Many people believe that the Second Coming will catch the human race by surprise, but the book of Revelation indicates otherwise. For example, the wicked kings of Earth will know and anticipate the date of Jesus’ appearing.

They will be united and prepared to make war on Jesus as He approaches Earth in clouds of glory. This final war is called Armageddon. Armageddon will not be a war between nations; it will be a war between an angry God and His enemies, namely, Lucifer, the Antichrist, and all who follow him.

Everyone who has the mark of the beast will unite with Lucifer for the express purpose to physically destroy Jesus as He approaches Earth. The Bible speaks clearly about the timing of Armageddon.

Preparation for Armageddon occurs during the sixth bowl and the war itself occurs during the seventh bowl. Interestingly, Paul indicates “the day of the Lord” will come as a surprise to many people, but John indicates the “Second Coming” will not. (See R

God is so good. He put the date of Christ’s return in the book of Daniel, and then He sealed up the book of Daniel until “the appointed time of the end.”

Once the censer in is cast down and the Great Tribulation begins, the date for the Second Coming will no longer be a secret for those who love God and want to understand His Word. The date of the Second Coming can be calculated. “Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
