Which Nation? Without God!

Which Nation?  Without God!

A sudden question that has many of us asking who, what, and when will the final catastrophe on this planet become a reality and where will all of this occur?

If some who do not watch the current broadcasts or concern themselves with what is happening in the world they are part of without asking what are you concerned about, are about to experience prophecies from the past.

There was a period during the 20th century when only two powers seemed to rule the world with their prowess in all matters and there were no others who could compete or dared to challenge them.  The United States and the USSR were well known for their abilities to control space, medicine, and the arsenals of weapons that each boasted of.  

Now, early in the 21st century, there exists a great number of nations vying for recognition as a power to be and stand behind the mighty arsenals they have created.  Without trying to list them alphabetically I am choosing at random and not of any specific prominences.

Lately we have watched as North Korea keeps sending missiles and boasting of the distance and possible devastation these giants of warfare can create.  The latest announcement is “we can reach the United States with these weapons.”  There is no doubt that the nation of N. Korea has been a thorn on the world scene, beginning with the time they crossed the 38th parallel and the skirmish of the Korean War.  I enlisted in the Army in 1954 and even though I did not need to go to Korea, I along with my friends were ready.  The desire of just this tiny nation still wants to threaten everyone who disagrees with their quest to destroy our beliefs, and is displaying it’s power.

Sitting just to the north of Israel sits Hezbollah, Shiite radicalism, waiting for an opportunity to swarm down and destroy the nation of Israel.  If that is not a bitter threat, which has existed for centuries, Iran has constantly threatened to destroy Israel and become the next major player in the end of humanity.

Recently, the nation of Ukraine has been the sole player in the quest for world domination.  Of course many might say its just one nation at odds with Russia and why should we become involved?  It wasn’t that many years ago when America’s most popular president, Ronald Reagan confronted Russia’s leader Mikhail Gorbachev telling him to tear down that wall; the Berlin wall separating West Germany from East Germany.  History had an important episode and the Communist rule in Europe and the rest of the world began to collapse.  But for how long?

There is now another marriage, so to speak, as the Nation of China is considering joining forces with Russia.  The possible outcome may be the combined attacks on Ukraine, but the more serious outcome could be the impetus of what many are calling World War III.  There have been rumors of such a holocaust impending on the world stage.  Is this part of the scenario that sacred scripture has predicted?  Are the arms of evil about to be eradicated?  Will all of this be the final prediction of the Rapture, the raising of the Antichrist,  the final conclusion that God is now intervening within humanity and the final battle of Armageddon.  Will you or I be among those to see all this happen, or will we be blessed to avoid the end by our early resurrection?  

Again a reiteration of the major players in this analogy of what is boiling towards an explosion of nations.

North Korea, Hezbollah, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, China, and the United States of America.
