Nuclear war

[a.baker]

Do you think we would ever have a nuclear war? Would that fit into Revelations any where?

[CoreIssue]

There are scenarios in the Trib that might or might not be nuclear war. But stating it firmly cannot be done.

Revelation 16:8

8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.

An old song written back in the early sixties by Ian Campbell. It was covered by Simon and Garfunkel on “Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.” circa 1964

The Sun is Burning by Ian Campbell

The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy bees
Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky

Now the sun is in the West
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
And the sun is in the West

Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low

Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth

Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared

The last two verses jumped at me many different ways. “Grace” ended, wrath and judgment in her place. Solemn thought on this night we celebrate His birth, but none the less, right at the door.

Isaiah 55:6

6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

No doubt in my mind they will be used and probably soon, if man made it he`ll use it.

... all eyes on Iran .. ??

[sinnerredeemed]

Yes. Iran is indeed very dangerous, along with China, Russia and North Korea. There is no doubt in my mind that nuclear weapons will be used. In the book of Zechariah chap 14:12-13 the Great Profit said "Their flesh shall consume away, their eyes shall consume away out of their holes, their tongue shall consume away from their mouth".
But the key part of this verse is that they would do this while standing on their feet.
There is nothing else that could do this except nuclear weapons.

That actually isn't true. We already have diseases today that rot living flesh.

Even further this occurs in the area that afterwards they will harvest for materials to use. Not going to happen if radioactive.

More so this area flourishes during the MK. Not going to happen as well if radioactive.

At the Second Coming, when Armageddon occurs, the Bible also says they are slain with the power of his word.

This is Armageddon being talked about here, the 7th Bowl of Revelation.

Nuclear worked for me too ... ... sort of the ultimate consuming fire. I have scaled it back just enough to not be radio-active for the sake of those left to harvest.

Deuteronomy 4:24

4 "For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God."

I always saw Zechariah 14: 12,13 happening a little like the Raiders of the Lost Ark ... as in eyes melting in their sockets etc. reasonably quickly ... and then birds right there feasting.

Rev 19:21

19 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

As well as slain by the word we have a lot of fire as well at this time ..?

Isaiah 66:15,16

15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,

and his chariots are like a whirlwind;

he will bring down his anger with fury,

and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For with fire and with his sword

the Lord will execute judgment upon all men,

and many will be those slain by the Lord.

A good place not to be ... on the receiving end ...

After doing more reading and researching I believe your right. It wasn't just that verse and book that through me off though. I also thought that in the Book of Rev 6:14 John was speaking about Nuclear War. The Heavens departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
I do however believe that Nuclear Weapons will be used. There is to much hated in this evil world we live in. If you just turn on the tv you can see our "fearless leader" mocking the Bible, dening Jesus as Lord, stepping on the toes of Israel. ISRAEL!!!
Iran is nuclear capable and want Israel totally distroyed. Were living in the last days and we will see what all the Great Profits wanted to see......Amen!!!Praise Jesus!!!!

A mistake is dismissing many of the things that happen during the Trib are supernatural, not man made.

The demons locusts rising from the Pit most assuredly are supernatural. The cause great suffering.

The land splitting under Christ when he returns is supernatural.

All the islands and mountains disappearing are also supernatural. There is no way nuclear devastation of that magnitude would leave anything alive on the earth if left to its natural effect.

Angels dry up the Euphrates, not any act of Man.

Bottom line is we there is no way to balance all said in the Bible with being nuclear at Armageddon unless there is also supernatural intervention as well.
