Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

[trottigy]

Simple and to the point - excellent!!

 

Would God permit nuclear war?

 The Bible does not say. It does say that “fearful sights,” or terrifying events, would occur in our day. (Luke 21:11) An example of such events includes atomic bombs being dropped during the Second World War. The Bible explains why God has permitted wars. To learn more, watch the video Why Does God Allow Suffering?

 Will planet Earth survive?

 Yes. Even if man were to use nuclear weapons again, God would not allow the situation to escalate to the point of global annihilation. The Bible says that our planet will not only survive threats to its existence but will also host human life forever.

Well, there goes Hawaii...

Though today’s warheads are vastly more powerful, I was struck by something: the total destruction caused by the bombs dropped on Japan maxed out at around 3 square miles each.

 

Of course, the suffering extended well beyond that radius—but in terms of actual flattening? That was the scope.

 

Now, the zone of destruction today might be 8 or even 10 square miles, but honestly… if you’re standing in it, you’re not exactly comparing stats. Whether it’s a little crater or a big one, you’re still part of the before-and-after photo.

 

But the bigger point? We’re not living in fear of those miles. Not anymore. We’re living for the eternity beyond them.

If Gog wants to send nukes on our JW heads at the end of the GT, we may get protected like the 3 hebrews

Impossible, we are scattered around the world, and unarmed. Simple gun is enough to kill us all  Or is it?

I am not saying nukes will be used against us, but different forms of attack could be deployed in various places… no doubt it’s going to be very interesting to see how Gog will try to synchronise this and how it leads to Armageddon.

So 2 nukes exploding in Manhattan (22 sg miles) could kill 2 milion people. And psychologically its beyond imagination.

 

Still, I guess only tactical nukes may be used in the future and I hope theyre not

North Korea could try to prove they are big enough to play with the big boys and bomb Hawaii to prove it. Population 1.5 million. That may not trigger an immediate response if Russia and China protect North Korea and threaten to respond to any reaction from the US. If North Korea bombed Hawaii, it could cause the nations to turn to the UN for P&S.

As Osprey points out, all Jehovah's people would need to be concentrated in one location for a nuke to be used specifically against us. 

 

 

[Cool.As.Ice]

Keep in mind that Gog consists of a ‘coalition of nations’. Since we are all over the world, the nations would have to coordinate their response in their own respective countries, in order to get to as many of us as possible. 
 

Exactly how this will happen remains to be seen, but one thing is obvious: they will be out for blood.

 

But whatever they do, and however long it lasts, (the fact that the anointed will be gathered during this time indicates that it will last for a period of time) the end result is the same: ultimate defeat at Armageddon.

Definitely hope we never see nuclear weapons again but can't count it out of the picture
