Today and Revelation 6

3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

Revelation 6:3-4

This planet has seen some horrible wars in its history. But these wars, as horrible as they were, will be nothing compared to the scale of war that will be unleashed by Satan during the Tribulation period. Today, we have weapons of mass destruction. The USA and several other nations are bona fide members of what they call the nuclear club. But smaller, rogue nations have obtained them as well. Currently humanity has the capacity to literally fulfill what is predicted in Revelation 6. We have at least 60,000 hydrogen bombs. The human race has the power to destroy itself seventeen times over through one, blinding fash.

When one scientist was asked what weapons would be used in World War III, he said, "I am not exactly sure what weapons will be detonated in World War III, but I will tell you what weapons will be used in World War IV: rocks. Because that is all that will be left."
