Nuclear biological and chemical weapons (NBC) - Man's big bang
by Don Koenig
Nuclear, chemical and biological (NBC) weapons in the hands of many nations now make many of the judgments in the book of Revelation possible by man's own hand for the first time in the history of the world.The United States and Russia now have the means to destroy civilization. China and Europe will also have this capability within two decades. Japan will soon find it necessary to arm herself due to the nuclear capacities of North Korea and China. Japan now has a huge stockpile of plutonium and with its existing missile capabilities she could become a major nuclear power just a few years after making that decision.
Countries with regional military power undoubtedly will use NBC weapons within a decade. The four horsemen of the book of Revelation with the judgments over one fourth of the world may begin as a regional war. Iran, Syria, North Korea, India, Pakistan, China, Israel and others all have or will soon have the power to begin a major regional war using NBC weapons.
The plasma bomb
Within a decade the United States and a few other countries may have developed a new weapon of mass destruction called the "plasma bomb". It will have the destructive power of atomic weapons without the radiation or the need for critical mass. The numbers of such weapons will not be able to be verified and any country possessing such capabilities will have the capability to destroy much of the earth at will.
Biological and chemical weapons
Let's not forget the biological weapons and the chemical weapons that are the weapons of mass destruction for the poorer countries of the world. If they use biological weapons it may have consequences that goes global.
Don't worry, be happy
Pakistan and India were recently on the brink of nuclear war. North Korea is developing nuclear weapons and possibly has a dozen or more bombs by now and the means to develop another one every month.
North Korea threatens to attack South Korea and Japan if the United States tries to first strike this nuclear capability (which is certainly a possibility in the short term). Anyone who actually thinks that North Korea will do away with its nuclear program under its present leadership is delusional.
Iran is well on the way to developing nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them within a couple of years. The United States or Israel may do something about Iran's nuclear program but if they do it might trigger a world war. However, If nothing is done Iran will trigger a world war anyway.
China's nuclear program is being modernized and its claim on Taiwan could be the trigger point for a war in the near future.
Some believe that nuclear suitcase-sized weapons have disappeared from Russian inventory and could be in the hands of terrorists today. Others think that terrorists will certainly use dirty bombs using radioactive materials in the very near future.
Russia is starting to rearm in earnest and is going back to a cold war mentality.
The world in 2030 AD if nothing changes:
If that is not enough, there will be others. Within a decade or two nuclear weapons could even be developed in several South American countries. I don't expect all the armament listed above to actually be in place in 2030 AD, because by looking at the figures, it should be evident that a strong world government will be demanded long before 2030 AD to stop this nightmare from becoming a reality. If that does not happen many of these weapons along with the countries most likely will have been destroyed through warfare.
Here is an article that gives some idea of what might be coming within two decades with the development of fourth generation nuclear weapons
Electromagnetic pulse attack (EMP) - The real Y2K for Y2K+
There is a grave near term threat to the United States that would have consequences that could go far beyond direct nuclear attack on US cities or military targets. A single nuclear device strategically detonated at high altitude over the United States could completely destroy the United States as a viable nation. This threat to the United States over the next 5 to 10 years is extremely grave because unless or until our infrastructure is hardened little can be done to stop such an attack. At this point we only can try to prevent rogue nations and terrorists from obtaining this capability. We can only pray that Russia and China do not use this technology since they already possess advanced EMP warfare capability. Iran is now testing their missiles to simulate an EMP attack and they will be a threat in the near future if they develop nuclear weapons. North Korea is also a imminent threat.
If the United States people are diligent, they will insist on having communications and electric grids hardened so in ten years or so such an attack will only cause severe disruptions lasting for months. If such an attack were to happen today it could cause catastrophic disruptions that could last for years.
The effect of an EMP attack on the United States:
Signs of the time
The world is not moving closer to peace as some would have us believe. It is only a matter of a few years before some situation gets out of control and a major or regional power uses nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or even more advanced weapons of mass destruction. This will cause the world to demand a world government to control these weapons and that will bring in the Antichrist figure of Bible prophecy.
As long as the fatal disease of hatred continues, man will continue to use his knowledge to develop better ways to kill. Terrorists will develop methods to kill using any means at their disposal - even passenger planes for weapons of mass destruction. Jesus said that if He did not return to stop the destruction that is coming on the earth no flesh would be saved. At the rate mankind is going, it is hard to see how mankind can survive longer than this present generation without God's intervention.
