Nuclear Winter is Predicted in the Bible

Nuclear winter is predicted to be the outcome of a nuclear war. According to Debora Mac Kenzie of Newscientist.com, a nuclear winter may kill more than the fatalities of the war itself (deboramackenzie, 2007).

Nuclear winter is predicted a long time ago in the Bible. It is never understood throughout the ages, until now-where it is meant to be understood (Daniel 12:8-9). What are the horrible effects of nuclear war? Can it really turn sun into black and moon into blood? Can it fall stars like unripe figs when shaken by a high wind? Can it move mountains and islands from another place that could force the kings of the earth to hide in the caves?

What Revelation 6:12-15 (NIV) Says

“I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.”

The Great Earthquake

Heraldmag.org in its article Biblical Earthquakes: What Do They Mean? by Adam Kopczyk, said that Seismos is the Greek word for earthquake, which is commonly found throughout the New Testament (adamkopczyk, 2006). Earthquake preceded nuclear winter.

In Strong’s Greek Dictionary (#4578) it means “a commotion (of the air) a gale; (of the ground) an earthquake.” On some instances, the word earthquake in the New Testament scriptures also used to describe great calamities such as cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes and tempest.

“And, behold there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.” Matthew 8:24 (KJV)

The word “seismic” also means shock. The Geological Survey of Canada analyzes seismic activities by studying the earth’s interior through examination of shock waves that have traveled through the subsurface. These shock waves can be either natural or artificial (naturalresourcescanada).
