Jesus said "There will be wars, and rumors of wars." There have always been wars, so why would Jesus say a "war" signals the near time of his return? It has to be the nature of the war. It has to be something that marks it out as "different" from all other wars before.
So, let's look at what John says in the Apocalypse, and remember, he did NOT KNOW what a "Nuclear Blast" was.
If you were to take a pencil and just draw on a piece of paper what St. John describes in the Apocalypse you will be amazed. I have illustrated it for you with side by side photos of water popping up when an object falls into the water, and a nuclear blast.
In Revelations 18:21 he says:
21: "And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."
Draw this on a piece of paper and you will see 3 things:
- A rock literally punches a hole in the water, and when that hole fills in the momentum of the water continues in an upward direction and POPS A COLUMN of water into the air that MUSHROOMS out at the top.
- From the point of impact a slight dish shape is formed and concentric rings go outwards from the point of impact.
This is the 3rd thing that you see.
John 18:9 says this:
9: "And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep, and bewail themselves over her, when THEY SHALL SEE THE SMOKE OF HER BURNING."
He could NOT be more clear about it. He gives us what he sees! He describes the LITERAL SHAPE OF A NUCLEAR BLAST, but the SUBSTANCE of what he sees is SMOKE and FIRE, not WATER.
Not only THAT, he says in ONE HOUR IT WILL BE LAID WASTE. And he says it THREE TIMES.
In John 18:10 he says this:
10: "Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city Babylon, that mighty city: FOR IN ONE HOUR is thy judgment come."
In John 18:15 he ALSO says:
15: "The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand AFAR off from her, FOR FEAR OF HER TORMENTS, weeping and mourning."
When a nuclear blast occurs you DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR IT. And why do you FEAR HER TORMENTS? The RADIATION!
John goes on to say:
17: "For in ONE HOUR are so great riches come to nothing; and every shipmaster, and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off."
18: "And cried, seeing the place of her BURNING, saying: What city is like to this great city?"
19: "And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in ONE HOUR she is made desolate."
When one considers it sometimes took civilizations decades, even centuries, to overcome one another, this is remarkable. From launch time of a nuclear weapon to zero time of a nuclear blast the city is destroyed.
And this CANNOT be some kind of an asteroid, or the like. It says ONE HOUR, which eliminates any possible connection to an asteroid by virtue of the FACT that were a heavenly body to impact the earth in just ONE HOUR, we would know of it long before an hour.
When you look at what John says, Our Lord's words jump off of the page. Our Lord said, "There will be wars and rumors of war." Because there have always been wars, since the time of Adam, wars as a "sign" was NOT possible until the advent of nuclear weapons.
Stay in the "State of Grace."
