		<description><![CDATA[End of the world is frightening. There are many speculations on how our world will end. This climactic event was foretold that it will be days of darkness and gloominess. Stars will not give its light, sun will be darkened. But how and why it is prophesied in the Bible? Is it a sign of more troublesome times to come?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thinking and analyzing the current events of our world today are just ordinary topics of conversation between our peers: Iran threatening the Jews to be wiped off the map, North Korea defying the odds of building a nuclear arsenal. These might seems a little bit off the hook especially if you did not feel the direct pressure of the consequences it may implicate. But putting your attention to these developments is of vital importance for our survivability as a human race. For these involved one key factor why we must be concerned. And that is&mdash;the building of a mass weapon of destruction.</p>
<h3><strong>Current Dangerous Times</strong></h3>
<p>The latest failed efforts by the United Nations to stop North Korea from test firing a missile capable of deploying nuclear warhead and the relentless pursuit of Iran on its nuclear program aggravates the fact that the doomsday clock is nearing to strike at dead midnight. Once these two hard-line nations developed nuclear bombs, hatred and desperation could drive their tyrants mad on pushing a button that will start the end of our world.&nbsp;If any&nbsp;leader of these nuclear powered nations was influenced&nbsp;to commit atrocity against man, then we have no escape&nbsp;from the dangerous times that lie ahead. Believe me, there are powerful forces hellbent of&nbsp;urging us to destroy ourselves.&nbsp;They work within us unknowingly. To unravel their&nbsp;missions against us,&nbsp;read BEWARE OF THE DEMONS&#8217; WHISPER.</p>

<p>A small regional nuclear conflict could bring disastrous consequences to our environment. What will happen then after this?</p>
<h3><strong>Prophecies of Darkness </strong></h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/06/07/cloudsun8dqsmall_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>(<a href="http://www.bigfoto.com" target="_blank">http://www.bigfoto.com</a>)</p>
<p>Isaiah 13:9-10, the Bible mentions that the stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light after a land will become desolate. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.</p>
<p>Joel 2:2 describes that it is a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. What follows this is a large and mighty army.</p>
<p>Joel 2:10 further tells of earthquakes and trembling from the sky, sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine.</p>
<p>Joel 2:31 again prophesied that the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.</p>
<p>Amos 5:18 and 20 illustrates that this day will be in darkness not light, pitch-dark without a ray of brightness.</p>
<p>Zephaniah 1:15 describes the end-time as a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness.</p>
<p>Matthew 24:29 reiterates that after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. Same as Mark 13:24.</p>
<p>Acts 2:20 mentions that the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.</p>
<p>Revelation 6:12 reveals of a sixth seal being opened. A great earthquake follows, then 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.</p>
<p><strong>Cataclysmic Probability</strong></p>
<p>We could now clearly see that the Holy Scriptures are consistent with its description. It tells us of one thing: That the end of the world will be shrouded in darkness. What will cause this darkness? We have clues: First, the one that will trigger it is capable of bringing desolation and ruins. Second, it will manifest earthquakes and trembling in the sky. Third, it will produce clouds of blackness. Fourth, it wil include all the celestial bodies found in heaven. Fifth, it will turn moon to blood. Sixth, it wil involve army of great proportion. Seventh, it could fall stars from the skies. And eighth, it is capable of instigating distress, trouble and anguish. There is only one event that could&nbsp;show these all, and that is through nuclear war.</p>
<p>A conflict between nations armed with nuclear weapons would bring desolation and ruins. The shockwaves from the nuclear blast would create earthquakes and the trembling in the sky could be caused by a massive explosion. It will produce soot, large clouds of black smoke from the burning consumable materials created from the blast. This soot could cover large areas that would eventually block the sky creating darkness, a nuclear winter. It could cover the sun, the stars and that could even turn the moon red. We all know that whereever there are nuclear weapons, it came from a military contingent be it from the Air Force, Navy, Army or Marines. These are armies capable of firing nuclear missiles that could fall like shooting stars to their enemies. One thing for sure, a nuclear explosion will create huge pang of distress, troubles, sufferings, anguish and pain to those victims or to those who bare witness to its destructive capability.</p>
<h3><strong>How About Asteroids, Comets and Planetary Collision</strong></h3>
<p>The theory that the end time darkness created by asteroids and comets falling from the sky or a planetary collision that will bring destruction and will end the world eventually are far from reality in the Bible point of view. It is clearly stated on Matthew 24:36 that no one knows about the day or hour of this end-time cataclysmic event. Asteroids/comets and planetary collision that will fall from the sky will create the same effect as nuclear explosions do but it is predictable and overkill. To know more about this topic, read PLANETARY COLLISION OR NUCLEAR WAR?</p>

<p>No matter where it came from, it is terrifying to know that sooner or later as we enter the twilight of this age, darkness will creep to our existence to test our spiritual and physical survivability as a man. It serves as a warning, a sign of more troublesome times to come, of plagues, famines, diseases and death. A fact that these entire pang of distress is caused by the dimness and obscurity of man&#8217;s obsession to rule him and himself alone. We will live in darkness during the end-times, it is prophesied&#8211;in the absence of physical ray of sun and in the absence of lawful obedience. But rejoice, for after this: The Son of Man is coming and the Kingdom of God is in His hands.</p>
