The Bible say anything about nuclear war?

The Bible never really talk about nuclear war. But the reason why people can worry about nuclear war, that because of what the Bible say about people attitude and the thing dem that happening in our time.

Let look at this Bible verse dem here and compare it with what happening now-now:

Bible verses: Jesus disciple dem ask him: “What will be the sign of your presence and the last days of the world?” Jesus tell them say: “Country will fight country and kingdom will fight kingdom.”—Matthew 24:3, 7.

Thing dem that happening in the world: Plenty country, including the one dem that get nuclear weapon and the one dem that able to fix it, always fighting among theirself.

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project say: “This time, the world just getting wicked more and more: And that just how plenty country fighting war.”

Bible verse: “In the time of the end the king of the south will engage with [the king of the north] in a pushing.”—Daniel 11:40.

Thing dem that happening in the world: Powerful nations and their supporter dem, fighting among theirself for more power and control, just how the Bible say it. Today, the country dem that get powerful nuclear weapon can avoid fighting among theirself, but they still fixing more dangerous nuclear weapons.

“The Uppsala Conflict Data Program say: “During the last 10 years we na see more and more countries fighting war among theirself, and we also seeing how powerful nations continue to support them.”

Bible verses: “In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be . . . not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce.”—2 Timothy 3:1-3.

Thing dem that happening in the world: Just how plenty people can behave, the big-big world leader dem not like to agree with each other. Instead of settling their problem in peace, they like to threaten or use force on each other. And that how they can start threatening each other with nuclear war.

The S. Saran and J. Harman, World Economic Forum say: “If the world leader dem not find the right way to solve their problem, we will see more and more fighting.”

God will allow people to fight nuclear war?

That not what the Bible say, But It say that “fearful sights,” or thing dem that can make people scary will happen in our day. (Luke 21:11) One example that the bomb dem they use during world war 2. The Bible explain the reason why God allow wars. To learn more, watch the video Why God Allow Suffering?

You think our Earth will survive?

Yes. Even if human being use their big-big weapon again, God will not allow them to destroy the whole world. The Bible not only say our planet earth will survive, but it also say human being will live on it forever.

“The earth remains forever.”—Ecclesiastes 1:4.

“God, the One who formed the earth, . . . did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited.”—Isaiah 45:18.

Some people can be thinking that in the future, human being will destroy this whole earth with their big-big weapon dem. And that just few people will live on the earth and be fighting to survive. But the Bible say that even if the earth get damage because of war, it will still get fine again.

“The wilderness and the parched land will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron.”—Isaiah 35:1.

People working together and enjoying theirself on the paradise earth. — God want us to live on a beautiful earth and be happy

Our Creator design the earth in a wonderful way. Even if some part of the earth spoil, after some time it can go back to normal again. But we also know that God will use his power to make this earth fine again. And we will enjoy living on it forever as our home.—Psalm 37:11, 29; Revelation 21:5.

How you can manage with too much worry about “nuclear war”?

Some people can suffer from the thing they call “nuclear anxiety.” And this one mean worrying too much about nuclear war and the thing dem that will happen. The Bible promises and advice can help people who suffering from this kindna fear. It can make their heart to lay down and to not worry too much. How?

The Bible talk about the wonderful future for the earth and for the people dem who living on it. Learning about this hope can make us strong and help us to not worry too much.

Jesus say, “Everyday get it own troubles.”—Matthew 6:34.

In fact, it important for all of us to take care of our mental and emotional health. We can do this one by not paying too much attention to information dem that can make us to worry bad way. Thing dem like discussions on the radio or TV about bad-bad thing dem, and the latest news about country dem that fixing Nuclear Weapon. This one not mean that we not care about what happening in the world. But we trying to free our mind from worrying too much over thing dem that we not get control over or that will not even happen.

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up.”—Proverbs 12:25.

Try to focus more on the good-good thing dem that happening in your life, instead of focusing on the bad-bad things

“May the God who gives hope fill you with all joy and peace by your trusting in him.”—Romans 15:13.

Group of picture: The man looking to the future with strong hope. 1. Behind him you can see weapons, military plane, nuclear bombs, and the cloud that look like mushroom. 2. And way in front of him you can see the clean and peaceful earth with mountains, forest, valley, river flowing, and birds. — The Bible give us sure hope that the future will be better

But the Bible use this word “Armageddon” to talk about the war that will happen between “the kings of the entire inhabited earth,” or human governments, and God.a (Revelation 16:14, 16) Armageddon that not war that will destroy the earth and kill plenty people the way nuclear bomb can do it. Instead during Armageddon, only the wicked people God will destroy. And because of that peace and security will be on the earth.—Psalm 37:9, 10; Isaiah 32:17, 18; Matthew 6:10.

What the solution the Bible give about war?

“He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the military wagons with fire.”—Psalm 46:9.

Jehovahb God will show to all the nations that he get power by putting end to all the war dem they fighting and destroy all their weapons. He will use his Kingdom, his government in heaven to do this one. And that this government will rule over the whole earth.—Daniel 2:44.

God Kingdom will teach people how to live together in peace. You will never hear about problem between government dem on the earth again, and people will not even learn how to fight war anymore! Because only one government will be ruling over the whole earth. (Micah 4:1-3) Because of that “Everyone will live in peace among his own vineyards and fig-trees, and no one will make him afraid.”—Micah 4:4, Today’s English Version.
