Well, it's a rather exaggerated sounding account, but the ninth chapter of Revelation describes a 200 million man army destroying 1/3 of mankind. The book also speaks of "the kings of the east" uniting to make war on Israel. The Euphrates river is supposed to be dried up so they can advance, and I believe Turkey built a damn which would enable this to happen.
But, on the flip side of all those arguments, you can read those verses and make them apply to damned near any time and place or nothing at all, even. It all comes down to a matter of personal beliefs, I suppose. |
Nostradamus predicted the following on WWWIII: ->http://paranormal.about.com/library...y/aa050602b.htm<
From there, things get worse, of course. Montaigne suggests that Muslim armies will see their first big victory over Spain. Soon after, Rome will be destroyed with nuclear weapons, forcing the Pope to relocate:
For seven days the great star will burn,
The cloud shall make two suns to appear:
The big mastiff will howl all night
When the great pontiff changes country.
Montaigne interprets Nostradamus to say that even Israel will be defeated in this war led by bin Laden and later Saddam Hussein, both of whom, he says, are the Antichrist. The war goes in favor of the Eastern forces (Muslims, China and Poland) for awhile until the Western allies are joined by Russia and are finally victorious around the year 2012:
When those of the arctic pole are united together,
In the East great dread and fear:
Newly elected, supporting the great trembling,
Rhodes, Byzantium with Barbarian blood stained.
Ironically The Mayan calendar ends on 2012 (see wikipedia) and at the same time NASA says that the gravitational force of sun would flip causing a solar storm in 2012 (http://science.slashdot.org/article...7/03/21/1229247)...
Waiting for 2012 now
