Crazed leader launches nuclear bombs on Mediterranean and Europe
(Century II, Quatrains 3 and 4)
During
a period of continuing unrest, the leader of a Middle Eastern country
will be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. He will go to the greatest
lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the
weapon because of his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is
warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a
coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in
the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The
passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on
the other coast will be desperate for food and will eat the fish
anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a
region of dark-colored cliffs.
The nuclear weapon being
dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries will spark off yet
another war on top of that war. European nations will try to interfere
to diminish the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try
to interfere, the crazed leader will use the rest of his arsenal on
Europe, most striking the Italian Peninsula.
The European
Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and France, will be
almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt. This leader is not
the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the Antichrist to rise to
power with little or no opposition.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts
(Century IV, Quatrain 67)
A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and coincide
with the time of great geological troubles, with earthquakes and
volcanoes erupting and disrupting weather systems. This will cause
widespread famines, droughts, and social upheavals
in unexpected places. Nations that are considered prosperous and
powerful, particularly western nations, will be weakened. They will be
torn with civil strife and rioting as people migrate to areas that have
water and can support crop-growing. The social upheaval and weakening
of political structures will help the Antichrist come to power.
The
United States in particular will be subject to serious natural
disasters, particularly earthquakes and flooding, and flatten the
nation from end to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and misery.
The US will be bankrupted attempting to deal with its disasters. Three
other great nations will send aid to help the citizens survive.
(Century VIII, Quatrain 29)
Earth
changes will take place that will help the Antichrist's drive for world
conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in the Middle East,
around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, there will be severe
floods. As a result of the disruption to local governments by the
natural disasters, the Antichrist will move his troops in under the
guise of helping the people restore civil order, but really use this as
a device to take over countries, and to use the populations like slaves.
Serious
economic problems will persist along with great social unrest,
contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can seize power. The
frightened and hopeful populace will be vulnerable to his rhetoric. The
Antichrist will use the disasters as opportunities to overthrow
governments and sneak spies into a country. Martial law will be
declared in many areas to stop rioting and looting. The Middle East,
the source of his power, will not be as devastated as the rest of the
world. He offers assistance to other countries trying to recover but he
will eventually stab them in the back.
Antichrist's rise to power in Middle East
(Century II, Quatrains 23 and 81)
The
Antichrist will take over Iran by using a human decoy to trick the
Ayatollah in power. This will involve the "yes men" and puppets of the
Ayatollah's court. The Antichrist will first drive away internal
supporters of the Ayatollah by starting a civil war. Then he will put
forth a man as a leader, a man for Iranians loyal to the Ayatollah to
concentrate their hate on. The man will be assassinated while Iran is
being taken over, and his opponents will think they have foiled the
overthrow of power by assassinating him. But they will find out later
he was merely a decoy and that they played into the plans of the
Antichrist.
The Antichrist will initially obtain power
in his own sphere, Asia, and the Middle East. As he grows out of this
arena, and into Europe, the next step will be into the Mediterranean,
his area of strength. Because of his Middle Eastern heritage he will
have already united North Africans, who are sympathetic to his cultural
background, with his Asian and Middle Eastern conglomerate.
Fiasco from communication breakdown between two superpowers
(Century II, Quatrains 35 and 48)
Through
a mistake, a breakdown in communications between two powerful countries
will occur. The situation is a lot more complex than will appear on the
surface. The leader involved will feel great regret about what happened
and will want to continue his career and help correct the situation, to
help make up for the adverse affects.
But he will be hung,
symbolically, by others wishing to take his position in the
organization. He will be hung as far as politics and his career are
concerned. It will almost be like committing suicide because in the end
he will be a broken man. The entire event will be viewed as a fiasco
from both sides. It will have very harmful and even cataclysmic
consequences.
Third world country leader creates strife
(Century III, Quatrain 60)
A "young dark man" will arise as a leader in a Third World country;
his main goal is to unite the other Third World countries to do battle
with the superpowers. The area of conflict will be in Eastern Europe
and the Middle East, particularly around the Adriatic and the Caspian
seas and Israel. No definite winner will emerge but the strife will
help set the stage for the Antichrist. Many prophecies in the Bible
refer to events in this region.
Antichrist profits from radar research in Europe
(Century I, Quatrain 6)
Research on a more sophisticated type of radar and sensing devices
will give greater information to the operator, i.e. an airplane pilot.
But the first experiments with the technology will fail in a disastrous
accident, when the vibrations emitted by the device cause the chassis
of the plane to become weakened and dangerous. The scientists involved
with the research will have to temporarily abandon the research because
of diplomatic breakdowns, the threat of war, etc.
This will
take place before the Antichrist comes to full power. It will happen in
Europe at the time the Antichrist is strengthening his base of power in
the Middle East. The devices are currently under development but have
not been tested yet. But this is another historical event that will
permit the Antichrist to take over Europe.
War game simulation by Britain in Europe leads to disaster
(Century II, Quatrain 2)
In a war-game maneuver involving Great Britain and European troops a
malfunctioning computer will cause the "real-world" situation to play
out instead of the simulation. As a result of the error actual defenses
will be activated and real bombs will be dropped on the areas of the
game and cause a tragic international incident.
American Electoral College voting stalemate
(Century VII, Quatrain 41)
The presidents of the United States, a supposedly free country, have
been abusing their power to an increasingly greater extent. During a
time of social unrest even more so than the period of Vietnam and
Watergate, the Electoral College will be evenly split over the election
of the new president. The process will stalemate, with many people
clamoring for whichever candidate they voted for, causing enormous
tension in the country. Internationally it will be a sensitive
situation.
Because of the split, and the extremely volatile
and explosive social unrest, putting either candidate in office instead
of the other could start a civil war or a revolution. After a long time
of impassioned speeches invoking patriotism and the founding fathers, a
compromise solution of holding another election will be taken, and a
candidate will be installed without disaster.
