Prepare for war! Gird your loins, put on your armor, don your helmet, take up your shield and your sword, and off to war we go! Got any nukes handy by any chance? Preferably thermonukes but the purely fission variety will do in a pinch.
It does not bode well for western nations, not well at all, because it is primarily the western nations which comprise the beasts and those affiliated with the beasts. Those of us who have foolishly aligned ourselves with the USA which is the second beast (two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, that is, gives the appearance of a nation with great power and Christian culture but is a liar, speaking in the natural tongue of the dragon) will likely suffer the same fate as that beast. I know that Los Angeles will be taken out in the middle of the night, that one I have already seen many years ago. Likely also attacked will be New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Dallas, and perhaps other major urban centres. If I was living in any of those places then I would be leaving very shortly. My "gut" tells me that we will not see this decade out before WW3. The current incarnation of the first beast, the mostly Vatican-controlled WEU and locally allied nations, and its eastern counterpart, the beast that comes up from the abyss, the Islamic nations of the middle east, will also suffer a similar fate, though I do not know that middle eastern nations of largely Islamic believers will necessarily suffer nuclear attacks, the reason being that the only nation to have ever used nuclear weapons in wartime against another nation is the USA. He who lives by the sword will die by the sword. Likely both the USA and large parts of the Eurasian continent will be glowing eerily in the dark by the time this is all over. Maybe even Australia will be hit, but I am not so certain of that one (and, from a personal perspective, I hope not, but the possibility does seem to linger).
There is a lot of hope, I would posit false hope, about reviving the USA and restoring it to its former glory, particularly before it became so corrupted with greed and a lust for power over all the world. I do not expect it to happen. It will retain significant power though nowhere near all of it, but the idea of a free people nation is gone, now in the dustbin of history. It seems there has never been an honest government in the USA since the days of the ill-fated JFK, if not earlier. In reality, since the banksters took over early in the 20th century, the USA was already lost. All of its thriving since then appears really to have been for the advantage of the globankster criminal cabal whose current goal is total and absolute global control and micromanagement of every single human being, machine, patch of land, ounce of water, erg of energy and every single resource on this planet. To them we are merely another resource to use and then discard when done, merely numbers. That type of delusional thinking is the fruit of the complete rejection of the creation account given to us by God through Moses and its substitute belief in time and chance, a world with no meaning, no purpose and no pre-existing destiny, the world of the evolution of mindless matter.
Did you ever wonder why the Lord was angry with king David for numbering his fighting men? The obvious reason is that he was failing to trust God for their needs in times of war but it is not so obvious when, in other parts of the bible, we read of one census or another, the numbering of all manner of people, including fighting age men, musicians, priests, and so forth.
So, it appears to be a sin to reduce humanity to numbers for certain kinds of purposes. What kinds of purposes and why? A human being is made in the image of God and, as such, every single human being, though finite, is unique, because God is unique. Would you dare treat God as a mere digit on a computer? It is all very fine to number people for purposes that serve those people but the sin comes when we number people for the purposes of controlling and using them, which reduces them to resources and makes them all common and alike, discarding the reality that each and every one is made in the image of God regardless of how corrupted that person has made that image, for God still sees what He made as well as what it has made of itself. Numbering of people for the purpose of using them is a sin because it reduces people to the status of deterministic automatons whose existence is to serve the state, which is anathema before the truth, but numbering people for the purpose of serving those people is not a sin because such numbering is really intended for calculation of the required resources for the service of those people, so such numbering is not really numbering of people but numbering of resources. We must be careful to never reduce individual human beings to statistics and mere resources.
This particular sin occurs not only in the secular world (which it does to an unimaginable extent) but also in "churchianity". There is a big difference between counting congregants in order to know how much tea and coffee to provide and how many chairs to set out, as opposed to counting people in order to know how much money you are going to receive as offerings. The former serves the people individually but the latter uses the people, disregarding them individually, in order to serve the coffers and those who have access. How many "evangelists" seek to fatten their congregations with ever increasing nunbers of people for their own financial purposes or for fame and the power and money it brings? In my view, I suspect that God sees the tiny gathering of faithful believers at somebody's home as being easily as important as the gathering of many thousands of people at a so-called "mega-church" and, in fact, perhaps more valuable in a certain sense, regarding the servitude of the individuals towards God, because such tiny congregations have not yet been corrupted by the influences of financial gain. Those who are wed to wealth become hard as stone, unable to change, for the comforts and ease that wealth brings makes them forget God and their purposes in serving Him and become completely consumed with self-interest... with the consequent desire to fill ever larger, ever more palacial buildings with ever greater numbers of financial contributors, an undifferentiated collective bringing in the dough rather than individuals in need of help or even salvation. Little wonder that king David asked the Lord to make him neither too poor lest he resort to theft to feed himself nor too rich lest he forget the Lord. Many "churches", it would seem, have largely forgotten the Lord.
So, having apparently run off on a tangential topic, what has this all to do with WW3? Simple, really. Man thinks he can win wars based on numbers - numbers of warplanes, warships, tanks, guns, bombs, missiles, infantry, pilots, sailors, analysts working in the back rooms, industries manufacturing the weapons, support from allies, and so on and so forth. That may actually be, to some extent, true where all sides are similarly estranged from God but such circumstances also mean utter devastation for all sides no matter the way the war goes. Man foolishly trusts in his own power, using numbers, to not only create numerous weapons and train numerous fighters but also, to compute the resources needed under the misguided belief that numbers are what really counts, altogether forgetting that it is God who decides the direction of the war and the direction of the world; man has become a worshipper of mere mechanistic numbers - we see this in the corruption of governments, science, and all manner of "learned" institutions and the medical field.
Can you see how it is that the Lord God will be seen as glorious when He conquers all nations? None of them actually trust in Him... but I do and I hope that you do, also.
This coming great war, a war that will truly end all wars, and like all other wars in the past century or more, will be driven by an insatiable lust for wealth and power, control of resources and the use of humanity as mere cattle and chattel, as weapons of war no more valuable than a mortar shell or a cannon, mere numbers on a spreadsheet. That the people involved, which will be a very large part, or perhaps most, of humanity, have departed from God and are willing to be nothing more than mere numbers on their government's abacus, numbers awaiting to be marked by the beast and become the eternal possession of the fallen one, to be used as one uses a rag and throws it away when done just because they have hoped in mankind rather than God, means that most of humanity will likely be destroyed. Perhaps that destruction will, for many, come sooner than the mark and, in doing so, there may yet be some hope for many of them, as there was for the man on the cross next to the Lord when, during the final hours of his life, the Lord said to him, "Today, you will be with Me in paradise."
Trust God, not numbers and not man, but trust God alone.
