I can hear the hoofbeats of the coming four horsemen. War is on the horizon—grim and terrible It will be a war that will define the future of Human Civilization. This war—we may not win. The east west lines will blur. It will be Russia, Iran, China vs. USA, Japan and India—with a few other nations in the mix. Naval Battles, fighting in the Middle East and Europe—maybe So. America as well. Two years, maybe three and it will be over. This time we may well lose Alaska (to Russia) and Hawaii (to China). New reparations to China/Russia and forced migration of ten Million Chinese to USA—all school age children to learn Russian/Chinese. USA will be a 3rd world nation—only good for raising food and buying stuff from Chinese factories. See you on the breadline , Comrade.
If "this is it" - meaning all out war, I feel certain it will be a "great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be." - borrowing words from Matthew 24.
If so, there will be no more nations of men.
Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
A new age may be upon us. I hope to see you when the smoke clears, brother. :-)
