The Axis of Evil a Formidable Foe

[Kokavkrystallos]

Imagine if all the Axis "of Evil" joined forces together and waged war at once? It would certainly be WW3.

Russia
China
Belarus
North Korea

These top 4 are nuclear powers, for we must include Belarus now since Russian tactical nukes are there.
Then there are these:

Iran
Syria
Yemen (Houthi)
Lebanon (Hezbollah)
Libya
Mali
Sudan
Eritrea
Afghanistan
Myanmar
Cuba
Venezuela
Nicaragua

Vietnam, maybe (They are an ally of Russia but a rival of China)

Turkey a total wild card: member of NATO yet has close ties with Russia.

Of the 2nd list, most of them might be considered "nuisance players" though Iran is powerful, and may be a nuclear power. Even so, so called nuisance players have already shown they can tie up western resources and deplete weapon supplies, as proven by Iran's proxies in the Middle East. The US has to devote some of its warships and aircraft to defend the red sea, and Israel from missile attack.
Afghanistan proved a disaster to the West, and in previous years to Russia.
Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela could tie up further American resources in the Caribbean.
There's enough Russian influence and alliance in Africa to create an African front. There may be more nations you could add too.

Such an alliance would prove to stretch America and its allies too thin, as Germany learned trying to take on Russia along with the nations to it's west.
If all this ever becomes polarized, look out.

Well, if WW3 happened, we will no longer have to worry about global warming (now, above 1 degree Celsius) as we will all be toasted by nukes. But, hopefully WW3 does not happen.

It will happen in biblical terms. The only way we can slow it down is by telling our politicians no more NATO expansion or American hegemony. Ray Dalio's "Changing World Order" on YouTube shows what happens when empires are in decline and it is war. Unfortunately, the weapons today are weapons of mass destruction and usually, the people don't change until a catastrophe happens.

Wait and see, that is all I have to say.

We have to rely on Scripture. The world only gets completely burned up at the very end - 2 Peter 3. Then it get's reformed into the new heavens and earth.

However, Isaiah 24 states the inhabitants of the earth are burned and FEW men left. That may refer to nuclear war. There will be a time of great war before the very end, and God will cut it short for His elect sake.

Isaiah 24 could also refer to climate change, or both.

Isaiah 24:4-6: "The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the heavens languish with the earth. The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left."

You have heard, "For the love of money is the root of all evil"



Follow the money.

There are a number of factors of what could happen, and what the causes are.

Yep, it could be both climate change and a nuclear war, or something else, such as a meteor, but probably the first two.
