Nuclear devastation

[Stucky]

I never see anyone discussing  Revelation 9:13-16 and the war that kills 1/3 of everyone on earth.  This, to me, is much worse than the Gog-Magog war and maybe even Armageddon.

Do you have any thoughts on this war, who is involved, where it is, etc.?

[Charles Sloan]

I think this is detailed in Zechariah 14.

I think this is detailed in Zechariah 14.

Sorry, I typed the wrong scripture.  I meant Revelation 9:13-16.

[JHM]

Not sure on this one, haven't given it thought. Don't think it is nuclear, at least not in its initial stages, because it seems to entail a conventional war. See Revelation 9 : 17.-19

With respect of Tanks, see :

Revelations 9 : 17 - 19 : (RSV)
"And this was how I saw the horses in my vision : the riders wore breasplates the color of fire and of saphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and sulphur issuing from their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound.

If you have any problem identifying that with "Tanks", be advised that tanks, other then when in battle, normally travel with their turrets trained backwards and the gun barrel overhanging the rear of the vehicle so as to avoid damaging the gun barrel, - (which are long and slim like "Serpents"),  by having it strike roadside objects, (buildings, utility poles, etc), when making turns in the manner that tanks turn. Further, a lot of tanks have "Muzzle Brakes" at the tip of the gun barrels, -  i.e. "Heads" with "Mouths" at the tip of their "Tails".  

"For the power of the "Horses"  is in their "Mouths" and in their "Tails"; their "Tails" are like "Serpents" with "Heads" and by means of them they wound."
