“Perhaps this is the ‘rock bottom’ that is required before the beginning of recovery.”
It isn’t even the beginning of the end. First we must see through the collapse of American public will and the withdrawal of most US forces from the Middle East. Then we will see the abrupt tilting of the new Iraqi government towards their co-religionists in Teheran. Then we’ll get to see the development of the Iranian nuclear weapons, and the escalation of threats.

Yes, read Ezekial 38 in the bible. Israel will be attacked by Gog and Magog. These are the countries of Iran, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Lebanon, Russia. By the description in the passage, it appears Israel uses her Sampson option destroying the invading armies. It says it takes Israel several months to clean up the carnage and she expands her land. This is a regional war, the enemies declare a peace treaty lasting 3 1/2 years according to Daniel. Then Christ says that when we cry peace and security, sudden destruction as the world has never known will occur.
This leads me to believe an all out nuclear attack on America and is suppported in Revelations. Revelations talks about the beginning of the last and final world war, with 1/3 of mankind dead and 200 million combatants. The catalyst of the war is the angels being unbound at the river Euphrates between Iran and Iraq.
The precise death toll can be calculated by measuring the pints of blood in the human body and reading the scripture in Revelations. The river of blood from the war is high as a horses bridle, 4 feet and two furlongs in length (this is 2 miles if memory serves me right). Watch North Korea as the pawn that truly starts WWIII which will spread to Japan.
