Pakistan is probably going to become the catalyst for the next world war and it will take place within the next decade. The leadership of Pakistan is corrupt and has little popular support. There is now no political remedy that will prevent Islamic radicals from taking over the nation. Islamic militants are now taking over more and more of the countryside and there will be no stopping them by the Pakistani military because the military is already infiltrated and also obsessed with India.
India today is being attacked by Islamic terrorists supported by Pakistan and is probably only one or two more major terrorist attacks away from taking military action against Pakistan. If India should do that the Pakistan military would move to the Indian border and that would allow the Taliban to take complete control of the countryside of Pakistan. Should that happen the Islamic extremists would then take the revolution to the cities with bombings and killings until the people appeased them by giving them control of the nation.
India will not allow Pakistan to have nukes if Pakistan is controlled by Islamic radicals. If Pakistan fell to the Taliban India would do a first strike to take out Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities. The U.S. might also decide to take out Pakistan’s nukes with special forces in order to prevent a nuclear war between Pakistan and India.
Should that happen the U.S. would have to fight radical Islam from India to Iran alone or withdraw (I doubt if NATO nations would offer to help). The U.S. could not fight such a war because it would require an unpopular military draft and money that America does not have. So more likely the U.S. would be forced to pull out of Afghanistan and then the world will see radical Islam ruling from Pakistan to Iran. When that happens these Islamic radical nations would foster actions against Israel, Iraq, India and moderate Arab states. They would also become a major terrorist threat to the whole world. Inevitably these nations would have to fight and form an alliance against the Islamic radical states and there you have the makings of the next world war.
Europe would not escape because of its large radical Islamic populations. There would be civil war in many nations in Europe and elsewhere and once their internal wars were won they would have to join the allied effort to smash Islamic extremism.
The other possibility where India takes out the Pakistani nukes also leads to the same world war because all radical Muslim states would then join in the fight against India and Israel. When push comes to shove most nations in the world would have no choice but to side with India and Israel and fight against radical Islam.
This is going to happen in the next decade so do not think that all of a sudden America is going to win the war in Afghanistan and then live in a world utopia of peace because the Obama administration is in charge. Like it or not there is going to be nothing less than a major world war against Islamic extremists in the next decade. North Korea will also try to take over South Korea during such a world war. We also should realize that if India or the U.S. strikes Pakistan’s nukes that Israel would also strike Iran’s nuclear facilities and that also would bring a Middle East war.
This is the future of the world for the next decade. Islamic radicals will bring in real global warming. 😯
Pakistan in danger of fracturing into Islamist fiefdoms, U.S. experts say – Politics | Centre Daily
WASHINGTON — A growing number of U.S. intelligence, defense and diplomatic officials have concluded that there’s little hope of preventing nuclear-armed Pakistan from disintegrating into fiefdoms controlled by Islamist warlords and terrorists, posing the a greater threat to the U.S. than Afghanistan’s terrorist haven did before Sept. 11.
“The place is beyond redemption,” said a Pentagon adviser who asked not to be further identified so he could speak freely. “I don’t see any plausible scenario under which the present government or its most likely successor will mobilize the economic, political and security resources to push back this rising tide of violence.
“I think Pakistan is moving toward a situation where the extremists control virtually all of the countryside and the government controls only the urban centers,”
Many U.S. officials, though, regard the civilian government of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari as unpopular, dysfunctional and mired in infighting. It’s been unable to agree on an effective counterinsurgency strategy or to address the ills that are feeding the unrest. These include ethnic and sectarian hatreds, ineffective police, broken courts, widespread corruption, endemic poverty and a deepening financial crisis, they said.
Pakistan’s army, meanwhile, is hobbled by a lack of direction from the country’s civilian leaders, disparaged for its repeated coups and shaken by repeated defeats by the militants. It remains fixated on India to ensure high budgets and cohesion among troops of divergent ethnic and sectarian allegiances, U.S. officials and experts said.
Many officers and politicians also oppose fighting the Islamist groups that Pakistan nurtured to fight proxy wars in Afghanistan and Kashmir, and because they think the U.S. is secretly conspiring with India to destabilize their country.
The U.S. intelligence official, however, said that Pakistan’s elite, dominated since the country’s independence in 1947 by politicians, bureaucrats and military officers from Punjab, have failed to recognize the seriousness of the situation.
“The Punjabi elite has already lost control of Pakistan, but neither they nor the Obama administration realize that,” the official said. “Pakistan will be an Islamist state – or maybe a collection of four Islamic states, probably within a few years. There’s no civilian leadership in Islamabad that can stop this, and so far, there hasn’t been any that’s been willing to try.”
Several U.S. officials said that the Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy that President Barack Obama unveiled last month is being called into question by the accelerating rate at which the insurgency in Pakistan is expanding.
The plan hinges on the Pakistani army’s willingness to put aside its obsession with Hindu-dominated India and focus on fighting the Islamist insurgency. It also presupposes, despite doubts held by some U.S. officials, that sympathetic Pakistani military and intelligence officers will sever their links with militant groups.
Here is an article from the Sydney Morning Hearald on April 13, 2009. That talks about Pakistan falling into Sharia Law-lessness within a few months. Things are happening faster and faster, the snow-ball effect.
Warning that Pakistan is in danger of collapse within months

I remember the whole Bhutto affair last year when I said that we would all have been better off with Musharraf remaining in power despite the media’s mindless chatter about democracy. I haven’t changed my mind on this. It’s not that Musharraf was impeccable but the truth is that some people just aren’t ready for democratic rule anyway because they lack the correct mindset and the institutions are absent or insufficient. With corrupt ‘democrats’ like Nawaf Sharif that wanted to introduce Sharia in Pakistan before Musharraf’s coup d’état, the world may be better off with a secular military leader who would keep the status quo. I think that’s the best we can hope for in hotbeds of Islamic extremism anyway. You can’t expect these countries to become Western-style democracies. Even India has its share of problems with democracy when you consider the anti-conversion laws in some states. Nevertheless I will always have more favorable views of India and I would support it if it came to a violent confrontation between the two countries.
If Pakistan falls under Islamic control, India is going to watching very closely who has control of the Paki nukes. This could be the cover and the refueling base for the Isreali Air Force to fly into Iran and take out Iranian nuclear sites.
Today Taliban terrorists have taken over a another district very close to the capitol of Pakistan.
Yeah, I already added the link to that information at the bottom of my post.
I don’t believe we have anywhere near a decade left.
I can almost feel the pull of the rapture, sorry if that’s not very good english, I wasted my time at school.
This world is ready for the antichrist and I believe he is about to be revealed, very soon.
What I am really saying in this post is that a world war will take place in the 2010-2020 decade. I am not saying that it will start in ten years. It could start in months.
What you believe about the timing of the rapture really means little to God. My suggestion is that you use your school training wisely like the Lord could come today or even after you are dead.
Those who are putting all there eggs in the Rapture in the next few years basket might soon have the bottom fall out. People have said what you said for quite a few decades and were still here. I also can tell you from what I know of the required end time prophetic events that the timing for the Antichrist is still at least a decade or two away. I cannot speak for the Rapture since that date is always imminent and does not have to occur seven years before the end like some believe.
Why are you so defensive, I never said anything against you and I never said that my opinion on the timing of the rapture means anything to God.
As for the the revealing of the antichrist, I believe that he is ready to be revealed as do many other Christians, it doesn’t mean that we are right or that you are right.
I was only giving an opinion as you are.
Am I not allowed to have an opinion?
Of course you can have an opinion this has nothing to do with me being defensive. On the Pakistan issue I was just clarifying when I really think a world war will take place since you brought up that we do not have a decade left. I think this world war will start in months or a few years at most but it will be the major event of the next decade.
On the Rapture issue and Antichrist issue, I was merely pointing out that the Rapture will happen on God’s timing and that I do not think world events allow for scripture on the Beast to be fulfilled as soon as some as some are now teaching. I thought you were saying that your schooling was a waste of time because the Rapture is about to happen but now I see that you were probably talking about your English.
For reasons why I believe the Antichrist is still about two decades in the future read my 25 articles on world trends and Bible prophecy.
http://www.thepropheticyears.com/reasons/reason%20why%20we%20are%20in%20the%20last%20days.htm
I didn’t say we do not have a decade left, only that, in my opinion we don’t, I could be wrong.
I was talking about my english, lol, and it looks like I was right, as you didn’t know what I was talking about.
I will take a look at the articles you have suggested. Thanks, Rachel.
Ah, right, I’ve already seen these articles, that is the site that led me here.
Thing’s are moving so fast, that I believe, many thing’s that seem like they are a long way off, might not be so far away at all. I read an article a while back, that showed how quickly the temple could be built, once the go ahead had been given, but I don’t have it have it anymore, but I will try to find it.
The time it takes to build the temple is really not the main issue. First there has to be a peace agreement that even allows the building of the Temple. That peace agreement is not likely until after the war of Psalms 83.
Here are just a few of the reasons why the end as described in bible prophecy is not as soon as some want to think:
I do not see how China can realistically field the 200 million man army mentioned in Revelation chapter nine for at least two decades. The population of surplus men due to China’s one child policy does not peak for twenty to thirty more years (the army of men prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men). China’s army today has two or three million men and no army that China could field in the next decade could possibly slay one third of the men on earth. China will have to become a world military superpower to accomplish that.
The Mark of the Beast buy and sell system could not realistically be implemented worldwide until such equipment and technology are in place all over the world. If the world went all out today it would still take a decade or two to set such a buy sell system up.
Israel is not going to see peace before radical Islam is defeated. Only then can the peace described in Ezekiel 38 occur.
The EU is not even a state yet and will not be for at least a few years. There are no ten heads and ten leaders in the EU that give their power to the Beast so the Europe we know today cannot fulfill the role of the Beast. If the ten heads are really the heads of ten regional governments like some think only about five regional governments are in the early stages of development right now. Remember the ten leaders must appear before the Beast.
Russia does not have the splendidly attired military today capable of fulfilling the prophecy of the Gog invasion of Israel. The Russian army is in such bad shape that when they invaded Georgia they were stealing army boots from the Georgian army. Even if Russia reformed a new Union of states today it would still take a decade or two to rebuild a military like it had in the days of the Soviet Union and as described in Ezekiel.
With just over 1.3 billion people, I think China could easily muster up 200 million in a ”crisis” situation.
If a one world government was set up, they would make sure the world was fully supplied with the nessesary
equipment to start the mark of the beast system.
I’ve got to be honest peace between Islam and Israel is a tough one, but it could happen overnight, I don’t know how right now, it still remains to be seen.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes as far s Europe is concerned, we certainly don’t know the full story. Though I’m no expert on this either, I still think it’s nearer that we think.
With the mess the world is in right now, I think anything is possible.
Russia alone maybe not, but a lot of Bible teachers think that, Russia, and what appears to be Iran, Libya, Turkey and possibly Sudan, will descend upon Israel and try to destroy her. So I would say that could happen anytime.
Just noticed the time, I should be in bed, it late here.
According to the CIA there are only 200 million military fit men in all of China. I do not think any rational military intelligence person would claim that China today has the capabilities of fielding a 200 million man army and establishing the supply lines so they can fight in the Middle East. Actually there are at least three nations involved in this invasion but it is clear that nobody in the East now has anywhere near the capabilities for such a military. We are the greatest power in the world and we are having problems keeping a couple of hundred thousand people in the Middle East.
I actually told you how Israel and the radical Islam will be resolved. There will be a world war and radical Islam will be defeated. There is a good chance that this war will involve Pakistan and that is what this post is about.
Before Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya and others can be in the war led by Gog you have to have an alliance led by Gog, a reason for the invasion (to take a spoil), and Israel living at peace. There is no alliance, there is no peace and there is no credible Russian army.
Believe what you want, I am just giving you rational reason why the time is not yet. So when you find that you are still here and that the Antichrist did not arrived on the schedule of some popular Bible prophecy authors you will know why.
The CIA are not taking the military fit women into account, that they could easily use if they wanted to. And anyway you have your number, 200 million, right!
Pakistan are very dangerous at this very moment and if Israel attack Iran, all sorts of thing’s could kick off.
If I find I am still here, I will still be here, that’s all.
It’s all in the Lord’s hands, I just find the endtimes interesting, I don’t believe in date setting, it just seems like everything is very near, but if I’m wrong, I’m wrong.
I still think you are underestimating Russia and their friend’s, but only time will tell.
You say you are the greatest power in the world, but you forget, these people wil fight with everything they have, they wont care about ”innocents.” They wont care what weapons they use.
The prophecy says that they are men not woman and the point is that there is no way in the next decade that China can establish the supply lines to put that amount of people into the Middle-East. Today they could not even put there whole 3 million man army into the middle east
Sure all sorts of things will kick off like you said. Even a world war but the end is not yet.
Read up on the Russian military today and you will learn about how in bad shape it really is. I speak from what I know not what I do not know.
The ruthlessness of another country has nothing to do with being able to establish the supply lines to support 200 million men.
My suggest is find better arguments why all the prophecies I mentioned can be fulfilled in the next decade or quit arguing.
Don, you are probably right, but I just cant help thinking that we are not being told everything that’s going on and what any of these countries are really capable of. We could all be in for a shock.
Some people believe that there is a 40 year gap between the rapture and the tribulation, I just don’t know.
There are people who would argue with you, but I don’t know if they are right either.
I’m just glad to be saved. It’s horrible to think what it’s going to be like for the people who are still here when all these thing’s come to pass.
China’s trying hard to catch up but it looks it’s still lagging far behind the capabilities of the U.S. and Russian militaries. Here’s a very interesting article about China’s military:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124001124687130799.html
To Don, this is a serious question. Do you think that Israel will attack Iran soon and if they do, what do you think the immediate concequences of this action will be?
I thought if Israel or the U.S. had any sense they would have attacked Iran years ago and certainly before the Left in our nation took over. However, someone obviously got to Bush and shut him down. It was probably those connected to his Father.
I see different possibilities but they all lead to the same world war.
1. Iran might pretend to not actually develop nukes and agree to a monitored nuclear program but cheat like did North Korea. Sooner or later that will become know and someone will have to strike Iran.
2. Israel bombs Iran because the talks break down.
3. Hezbollah uses Iranian rockets against Israel in another local war and Israel bombs Iran.
4. The US bombs Iran because the talks break down or gets involved in some sea incident that escalates to the bombing.
5. Pakistan will fall and there will be a world war from Israel to India. As soon as someone takes out Pakistan’s nukes Israel will also take out Iran’s
If Israel does attack Iran it will also start a world war. Iran will attack Israel and US forces and the US will be forced to respond against Iran. Iran will then unleash the terrorist groups around Israel and sleeper cells will bring terrorism to cities all over the world. Iran will be able to disrupt much oil shipping and make the world economic situation dire. That will also bring in a world war.
Actually, our first worry probably is going to be Pakistan because they already have at least a hundred nukes and as I said in the post if the U.S or India attempts to take out those nukes Israel will at the same time attempt to take out Iran’s nukes. I really am not seeing a way out of this world war against radical Islam and events in Iran or Pakistan can set it off. Say Israel strikes Iran first? The Taliban will then go crazy and there goes Pakistan as well.
I think it will happen within months to a couple of years.
Don,
Your assessment is quite right:
I read this posting almost a year ago and now when I see the situation it sums up pretty clearly the way
“…The other possibility where India takes out the Pakistani nukes also leads to the same world war because all radical Muslim states would then join in the fight against India and Israel. When push comes to shove most nations in the world would have no choice but to side with India and Israel and fight against radical Islam…..”
THIS IS IS QUITE POSSIBLE FOR THREE REASONS:
A) US-NATO INDECISION BEYOND 2011 ABOUT THE AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN SITUATION;
B) INCREASING INDIA-ISRAEL STRATEGIC CONVERGENCE ON THIS ISSUE–INCLUDES TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND INTELLIGENCE COOPERATION;
C) INDIA-ISRAEL COOPERATION IS QUITE HIGH THESE DAYS AND IS BEING UPGRADED INTO FULL STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Besides these India is tieing up with Russia on the Afghanistan-Pakistan situation, which it sees as more reliable than the Obama administration.

Thanks for your expert assessment. Looks like a world war against the radical Islamic states is inevitable at some point.
Hey Don,
After reading the following article: http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/03/pakistan-government-in-crisis-after-key-coalition-partner-quits/
I searched and found what you had to say in 2009 about Pakistan. You certainly have devine insight. Thank you for watching and keeping the Christian community aware of the times we live in.
Thanks Jon, my insights are not at the level of divine but Pakistan’s fate becomes almost obvious when you consider it is a nation loaded with religious Islamic radicals that also has a considerable nuclear weapons capability.
