The Sixth Seal Judgment: Prophesying a Coming Nuclear Apocalypse?

Whether it’s morbid curiosity or because people are simply tired of their mundane lives, a subtle, if not insane, yearning to live out a nuclear war has woven itself into our modern psyche. We’ve become a culture fascinated by what life could be like eking out our own survival in an irradiated wasteland. According to the Bible, we’re going to get it!

An Ill Wind Blowing

The Bible warns that terrible times are coming soon, bringing a sudden end to our current age. The Lord Jesus revealed: “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Luke 21:25-26).

Jesus pointed out how severe the prophesied danger will be: “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will” (Matthew 24:21).

Jesus also added just how high the stakes are for life surviving this coming catastrophe, “And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short” (Matthew 24:22).

Jesus did provide hope, for as the world faces its darkest hour, “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to happen, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:27-28).

Paul the apostle predicted that when the world believes it has achieved peace, in truth, it will be completely unaware of the horrors about to befall it. He said, “While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman who is pregnant, and they will never escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

The Bible prophesies that in the end times, the world will increasingly experience chaos, destruction, and death, culminating in a seven-year judgment period called the Tribulation. Especially before our Lord returns to defeat His enemies and establish His kingdom, the book of Revelation describes how the oceans and lakes will be poisoned, the grass and trees burned, and people scorched by the sun’s intense heat. At the same time, humanity will suffer from severe plagues, widespread wars and famines, and an atmosphere so polluted that visibility decreases by a third.

Judgment of the Sixth Seal

The first seven of the 21 judgments prophesied in the book of Revelation are known as the seal judgments. They initiate the Tribulation by pouring out God’s wrath on the world’s inhabitants as punishment for their sins. The first five seal judgments will release a one-world ruler who will conquer through world war, and the aftermath will bring disease, famine, and death. A severe persecution of those who accept Jesus as Savior after the Rapture will break out; they are likely to be used as scapegoats for the world’s suffering. These judgments will kill a quarter of the world’s population, which is roughly 2 billion people today.

As shocking as these first five seal judgments are, they will be followed by an even worse one—the sixth. John the apostle recorded the future horror he was commanded to witness.

“Then I looked when He [Jesus] opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.”

“Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” (Revelation 6:12-17).

We read here that to escape such unimaginable destruction, the earth’s population will fearfully flee underground to caves. Deep beneath the mountains, they will cry out in great distress for the rocks to fall and hide them from Christ’s wrath. Revelation 6 genuinely depicts a nightmare scene of such catastrophic global carnage that it closely resembles what we envision a nuclear holocaust to be like.

Pray to Escape

Fortunately, for Christ’s faithful, our Lord promises the Church, “Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10). The Rapture of those saved will occur before the Tribulation begins, so Christians today will not have to witness the nuclear horror that is to come.

And for those who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, embrace the truth that God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Don’t spend another moment without accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Escape the coming nuclear apocalypse; embrace life everlasting!

The following article was originally published in May of 2024.  The speculations that were offered were not based on extra-biblical sources; they were based on two principles (New updates will be separated by a line across the page) :

Prognostications for the Last Days of the Church Age :: By The Gospelist – Rapture Ready

1. An accurate understanding of eschatology,
2. A theoretical timeframe of when the prophetic events of the Bible should occur. This timeline is based on the following:

3960 BC: Creation

33 AD: Church Age begins

2033 AD: Church Age concludes

2040 AD: Christ’s Second Advent

The above math was not difficult to calculate.  All you need is a general idea of when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples (33 AD), assume a 2,000-year church age, account for a seven-year tribulation, then subtract 6,000 years to arrive at the date of the creation.

Once you have the timeline, all that is necessary is to insert all future prophecies into it in chronological order.

Paul informed us that we would not be in darkness when the Day of the Lord was upon us (I Thessalonians 5:1-6).  I have been on this earth for well over sixty years, and none of what we are seeing is remotely normal.  When people can no longer figure out that there are only two sexes, that is a clear sign that we are already deep into God’s judgment against the world.

It is hard to deny that this Day is close.

One of the commands of the Lord is for God’s people to “keep watch.”  If we see something suspicious, we should alert the church to our suspicions.  If it is a false alarm, we are still following Christ’s mandate to stay alert for his return.

The fact that all the signs of Christ’s imminent return are coming together as we approach the two-thousandth year of the church age is suspicious.

If this theory is correct, then we should be seeing the signs and prophecies of Christ’s soon return coming together over the next several years.

For those who may not understand how theories work, a theory is published and is reviewed by the public.  Some may build on the theory while others will attempt to debunk it.

In the end, reality will determine if this theory is correct or not.

Finally, the purpose of these prognostications is to provide an outline of the things that should occur if we are close to the rapture of the church.  It is designed to keep us Scripture-focused and comforted as things become increasingly horrifying.  These prognostications should also motivate us to share the Gospel with greater vigor.

To summarize some of the prognostications that I believed must happen in order for everything to progress as theorized (that I laid out in my article in May of 2024) were:

(1) The various attempts to destroy President Trump will fail.

(2) Trump will be elected President.

(3) Trump will be elected overwhelmingly, which will render Democrats incapable of cheating.

(4) Trump will take office with little resistance from the corrupt Democrats.

(5) Trump’s election will result in greater freedom for what is left of the church to spread the Gospel.

(6) The evil Globalists will work to upend Trump’s agenda every step of the way (they have used many of our corrupt judges who have determined that any policy that benefits the people of this country is unconstitutional).

(7) The left will experience temporary widespread unpopularity.

(8) Censorship will be temporarily reduced (ex. Facebook appointed free speech advocates to serve on their board; YouTube is allowing more material through).

(9) Trump will resist the UN and its attempts at creating a corrupt, worldwide government, which will likely cause it to relocate due to lack of support.

(10) The Obama-appointed swamp rats in the federal government will go into hiding and operate behind the scenes.

(11) President Trump will set back the plans of the evil Globalists for a short time by ending the corruption of the Godless Democrats who are their lackeys.

(12) The Democrats will want revenge for losing power and will persecute viciously those who denied that to them if/when they return to power in 2029.

Donald Trump had to win the presidency because, had Kamala won, we would have been plunged into hyperinflation before the appointed time (which is estimated around 2033-2034).  Things are going on normally just prior to the rapture, so someone had to right the U.S. ship economically.

_____________________________________________________________________

The next projections, in my opinion, for 2026 and beyond are:

(1) The number of churches that preach the Gospel will continue to dwindle, which will lead to the takeover of a totalitarian form of government. Our last great preacher of God’s word, John MacArthur, has passed, and the number of pastors who preach the Gospel is shrinking. The State of Colorado is now led by Marxist totalitarian perverts, and our largest city, New York, has been taken over by a Marxist Muslim.

Many of our largest states, such as California, Minnesota, and New Jersey, have been taken as well.  The evil of Marxist Islamism, which has taken Europe, is slowly overtaking the USA as the Holy Spirit continues to withdraw his hand of protection. (Note: the people of Europe are starting to push back, but they are going to find out that communists do not give up power willingly.)

(2) The Holy Spirit is slowly removing His restraining influence over the world, and even with great leadership in government, we are descending into violence and sexual perversion. This is occurring in conjunction with the ever-decreasing number of churches that preach the Gospel.  When the Holy Spirit withdraws, the number of reprobates (who vote) increases.  The government will not be able to stop this decline.

(3) Once President Trump steps down in 2029 and a Democrat takes over, our reprieve from evil and persecution will be over.

(4) Although the Republicans will likely win the mid-term elections significantly and keep the House and the Senate, which will allow Trump to create great prosperity, this affluence will lead to complacency for the next election and allow the Democrats to retake power. Faithlessness always follows great prosperity. The evil Globalists and their Democrats will quickly move to create policies to steal the wealth that was created under Trump and use it to empower themselves while subjugating the people.

(5) When the murderous Democrats win the 2028 presidential election, the U.S. Constitution will be useless when they take power. As Dan Bongino likes to say, “People are Policy.” The Democrats had a series of “No Kings” protests, which signaled their intention once they return to power.  They intend to install the next Democrat president as king.

(6) The 2028 presidential election will be the last free election in this country. By 2032, the winner of the 2028 election, who will likely be Gavin Newsom, will wield dictatorial power like a king. Newsome is the likely nominee of the Democrat Party because he has no conscience, lies pathologically, and has demonstrated outrageous destructive power.

(7) The Marxists and the Muslims will have unrestrained power by 2030 after a Democrat is elected in 2029. The severe persecution of Christians in this country will move into high gear once their people are in place. The evil that will result in this chaos is building now.

(8) Lawlessness will increase in 2029 as law enforcement worldwide will no longer punish real crimes. The Democrats will turn law enforcement on its head and punish those who violate the tenets of social justice (which is happening in Europe now). They will not punish crimes that violate God’s law, like murder, rape, and theft; they will punish those whom they call ‘racists,’ ‘Zionists,’ ‘homophobes,’ ‘Islamophobes,’ and ‘climate deniers.’

(9) The Marxist Muslim Mamdani, the incompetent puppet mayor of NY, will cause the evacuation of NY by productive citizens. The UN, which is becoming increasingly irrelevant, will follow by the end of 2026 or take another form and reemerge in Babylon (this prediction is looking a little iffy for 2026).

(10) Babylon, Iraq, is still moving forward with its desire to control the hub of world trade. The Iran war should accelerate this. It should become a major player on the world stage by 2033.  If the Democrats lose the midterm elections and are unable to stop President Trump, the evil Globalists will begin to look for a competitor to the U.S.  China is too unreliable, so Satan will begin preparing Babylon for world domination in 2027.

(11) Evil and injustice will proliferate throughout the nation beginning in 2029. Christians will be censored, and the Vatican, which controls the Roman Catholic Church, has already conformed to the agenda of the evil Globalists and will become the dominant ‘church.’ Most Protestant churches (Laodicean) will fall in line with the RCC and will be populated with false teachers who preach social justice instead of the Gospel.

(12) Pope Leo XIV has demonstrated that he is on board with the agenda of the evil Globalists. It is possible he will be the false prophet of Revelation, but he has not shown that level of competence yet. Unless he is inhabited by a demon soon, or gets better at deception, he will be removed, and the real False Prophet will be installed.  Currently, Pope Leo’s main role seems to be to assist America in conforming to the Globalists’ agenda.

(13) The Roman Catholic Church will be the dominant church in the West by 2030. Those Catholics who resist their destructive doctrines will be excommunicated from this abomination and become targets of the government. The RCC will be in bed with the Islamists and the evil Globalists.

(14) The Globalists who have purchased a legion of Marxist and Muslim lackeys will wield unchecked power over the world. They will begin setting up their system to control global commerce so no one can buy or sell without their permission. This system will be fully operational by 2037.

(15) ‘Woke’ returns on steroids in 2029, as the Days of Noah (extreme violence) and Lot (extreme Sexual perversion) grow increasingly worse. America will be overrun by third-world savages, and the nation will never be restored to its former glory.

(16) The great falling away from the faith begins in earnest by 2030.

(17) The mocking of Christians, especially dispensationalists, will grow even worse as true Christians will be ridiculed around the world.

(18) Censorship, especially of the Gospel, will be in full force by 2030.

(19) The nation of Israel begins reinstituting the Mosaic law by 2030 amidst the social confusion. Israel’s construction of the third temple should begin around this time.

(20) America begins losing most of its influence and economic prosperity to Babylon by 2032. The nations of the earth are already turning away from the U.S. and have shown a preference for the wicked government of China (the Globalists’ template). All remnants of the West, otherwise known as Christendom, will soon be swept away.

(21) The ten kings, who will rise out of political chaos, will be identifiable by 2032,

(22) The rapture occurs before summer 2033, when the full number of Gentiles will have come in.

We should begin to see most of the prophecies coming together between 2030 to 2033 to the point that, for those who are watching, it is undeniable.

The evil Globalists will be able to control all information by this time, and those who are of the world will accept any narrative they put out.  It will be very easy to deceive a nation and a world that is weak in faith.

If this theory is correct, the church has very little time to share the Gospel and call sinners to repent.

If this theory is incorrect, the worst thing that happened should be that we shared the Gospel with greater vigor.
