In fact, God’s Spirit will be the primary controlling force that will bring the nations to the point of Armageddon, because the people of the world have refused to repent of their sins. This doesn’t mean that God is not involved with these events. Given the military technology of our day, it is more likely-in fact almost certain-that these prophecies are describing the start of a devastating nuclear exchange, which will be initiated out of a desperate conflict in the Middle East as Russia attacks Israel in the last days and the forces of the Antichrist respond. Certainly it is possible that the fire and brimstone will be miraculously created and directed upon the countries which attack Israel as a judgment however, with the development of nuclear weapons in our time, I am now convinced that the fire won’t be supernaturally created, but will be preternaturally produced from man’s predisposition for applying scientific knowledge for evil intent. After all Ezekiel does quote God as saying that He will cause this fire to be sent upon Magog and the other nations. In past generations, most people probably believed that the fire mentioned in these passages would be completely supernatural in origin coming directly from God. “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among those who dwell securely in the coastlands and they shall know that I am the Lord.” “And I will enter into judgment against him with pestilence and with blood and I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. When Ezekiel predicted the descent of Magog (or Russia) through the Middle East (see The Attack of Russia), the Lord clearly said that there would be fire associated with their attack: In this section, we will see just how incredibly precise the Bible is when it comes to the prophecies of the final wars and the eerie correlation these predictions have to our current view of World War III and the known effects of nuclear explosions. Do you think it is just a coincidence that a similar picture of worldwide destruction by fire is described in the Bible whenever the final battles of the end times are predicted? The Bible calls this period The Great Tribulation, because there will be no other time like it. Today, most people including the media closely associate Armageddon with the modern view of World War III, including massive armies doing battle on a global scale and a fiery nuclear holocaust that ends up destroying the entire world. Even the non-believing world has adopted this Biblical term to describe the ultimate world war. The Battle of Armageddon is predicted to be the last and greatest conflict of mankind.
