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).

Now just pretend that you are Apostle John who has no idea about the modern era we are living in. Then watch this video carefully:

Is there any calamity or “seismos” that could be greater than the one you’ve seen? How can you describe this if it occurs as a vision? Surely, a man who has no idea of a nuclear armament could be mistaken this as a force of nature. What about nuclear winter, does it tells something like it?

Sun Turned Black

Sciencedaily.com has posted on its news that a team of scientists found out that even a small-scale, regional nuclear war could produce too many fatalities that could surpass deaths from World War II. This devastation as they have concluded will lead to a climate phenomenon known as nuclear winter (sciencedaily, 2006).

A nuclear war could produce enough fires to burn anything within its blast zone creating huge billows of smoke that will accumulate in the stratosphere creating a nuclear winter unimaginable to man. Carl Sagan said these massive fires will reduce the amount of sunlight, too dark for plants to make a living from photosynthesis. Temperature will drop, creating a premature winter. Skies will be darkened, so thick it could cover the sun even in daylight-a darkness that could produce the eerie black of death and famine due to the sudden change of temperature. Crops will not yield and will eventually die out (carlsagan). Want to know more about nuclear winter and the darkness as prophesied in the Bible, read the article END OF THE WORLD IN DARKNESS:

Moon Became Blood

After the blast and shockwave, a mushroom cloud will burn all combustible materials within its radius creating mega wildfires. These would produce ashes and oily smokes that contains mix of smoke particles, some smaller than 1 micron turning the moon red. In San Jose, California, many have witnessed this typical occurrence in a forest fire(sanjosefire, 2008):

The moon, of course, will also be covered by thick clouds of smoke and haze but on the other part of the earth where it may be possible-it could be seen as bloody red. This is possible during nuclear winter.

Stars Falling from Sky

From the experience of US soldiers who participated in the Operation Desert Storm, an article entitled “Remembering the Whirlwind War” by Heike Hasenauer published from Soldiers, the official US Army Magazine on its February 2001 issue, page 29-30; Major Martin Poffenberger recounted that: “When we realized that Patriot missiles were hitting the Scuds that Saddam launched against Riyadh, we felt comfortable going up the rooftops and watching the light show, it was like watching SHOOTING STARS” (hasenauer, 2001)

To have a clearer and better picture about missiles that look like shooting stars, a video “Patriot vs SCUD Missile Engagement” is available.

Coincidentally according to Najmeh Bozorgmehr of Ft.com, Iran had test fired their ballistic missiles named Shahab-3, which means in Arabic “shooting stars” (najmehbozorgmehr, 2008).

If you watched the video especially the missiles being launched from mobile rocket launchers, those missiles will return and fall to earth like figs being dropped from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

Some have concluded that these stars are asteroids, comets or even planets that are destined to collide with earth. But the global effects of this horrifying cataclysm are too much intense and overkill. It is predictable, with signs very much conflicting from the Bible point of view (planetarycollision, 2008).

Sky Receded Like a Scroll

Joseph Verrengia in his article, “The Atom: From Theory to Awesome Reality-and Explosive Questions”on page 3 describes a nuclear explosion as an enormous ball of fire that grew and grew and it ROLLED as it grew (josephverrengia, 1999).

Just like an ancient scroll. Answers.com defines a scroll as a ROLL, as of parchment of papyrus, used especially for writing a document. This mushroom clouds, if seen from below rolled inward receding like a scroll of radioactive dust, fire and debris being plummeted into the sky.

Atomic Bomb Test

Mountains and Islands Moved

In 1952 at Eniwetok Atoll, the first experimental thermo nuclear device codenamed: IVY MIKE was tested. It measures 3 ¼ miles in diameter (part2ofnts).

If you scroll further, two photos of the atoll from the Department of Energy can be seen. One is before and the other, after detonation. The blast of this 10.4mt warhead had made some part of the island disappeared!

If you could see how huge the crater that a nuclear blast could create, it could move or even level mountains within its blast radius (nuclearblastcrater).

Hiding in the Caves

In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis, which triggered by the Soviet Union by placing nuclear missiles in Cuba created a panic and trend of building a nuclear shelter in case of a nuclear war.

To assert readiness from a sudden nuclear attack, US government has designated Cheyenne Mountains as a command center, digging and removing 700,000 tons of granite and placing two 25-ton blast doors to protect the 15 tunnel-like buildings 2,400 feet underground (robertweller, 2006)

What makes the government think that they must build a nuclear shelter in the mountains? Globalsecurity.organswers that, “Reverse slopes of hills and mountains give some nuclear protection. Heat and light from the fireball of a nuclear blast and the initial radiation tend to be absorbed by hills and mountains” (globalsecurity, fieldmanual3-4).

This elaborate artificial cave like systemsis called CMAH or Cheyenne Mountain Alternate Headquarters. It is a back-up command and control center employed by COMMANDERS-IN-CHIEF of US Strategic Command (globalsecurity, cmah).

On April 16, 1996, New York Times reported a mysterious underground military base constructed inside the Yamantau mountain in Beloretsk of the southern Urals. The New York Timesquoted Russian officials that it is being considered as a bunker for RUSSIA’S LEADERS in case of nuclear war (globalsecurity, yamantau).

During world war I and II, government leaders, military commanders, wealthy individuals and the greater populace affected by the war have a basic instinct of survival-hide in the caves or underground if a bombing will take place. And this will stay as a mode of survival for us, until the commencement of World War III.

The Nuclear Winter of Revelation 6:12-15

From the facts we gathered above, we could conclude that the great earthquake is a sudden nuclear blast with enormous shockwave, thus creating tremors. Tremendous heat from the explosion will create smoke, covering the sun with thick black clouds creating a nuclear winter. On other parts of the world when at night, the moon will turn red because of smoke and fire. More nuclear missiles will fall from the sky creating further numerous mushroom clouds that would roll inward and upward as it grows, leaving craters that could level terrain including islands and mountains. Leaders of the world and all men have no option but to hide in mountains where nuclear shelters are being built.

“I will display wonders in the heavens and on the earth: Blood, fire and columns of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and inspiring Day of the Lord comes.” (Joel 2:30-31)

For it is prophesied, nuclear war will happen and so as nuclear winter…
