Currently, the world is on the brink of a global war. Never has the world seemed so intent on its demise. NATO nations frantically race to prepare for the inevitable[1] – a war they have been seeking but one they will not win. The reality is that Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran (RCNKI) all have superior weaponry and more significant numbers compared to NATO. Furthermore, the RCNKI militaries have not been infiltrated by woke ideology, as evident in the US recruitment advertisement.[2]
Concerningly, while the British Army’s recent recruitment advert focuses on dealing with a flood,[3] the Russian Army focuses on inspiring soldiers to be better than their enemies.[4] The Chinese advert showcases the might of the Chinese military.[5] Thus, both China’s and Russia’s recruitment, unlike the UK’s or US’s, adverts focused on war and the need to be the best to achieve victory.
Recently, NATO’s commander announced the need to bolster numbers for a forthcoming war. Consequently, NATO nations are considering conscription to fill the military shortfall in numbers in preparation for the upcoming war. However, the NATO commander asserts that it is for a war in the future some twenty years away.[6] Sadly, the rationale for war in twenty years does not fit current global events. Instead, it seems that while NATO’s military complex rightly warns of the need to prepare for war, it is not informing the people of the urgency and how soon war could ignite. However, if global events do not stop, war could transpire sooner, as several hotspots exist that could ignite global war. Thus, why are the powers not warning the people? Is it because NATO has done everything to pursue war with Russia?
Now, while NATO asserts that war is far off, some twenty years away,[7] I believe it will transpire sooner than that. However, the global economies will collapse first. Nevertheless, could we soon be seeing the fulfilment of the forecast given in the now removed Deagle Report, which shows a reduced global population in many of the NATO countries?[8] However, BRICKS nations did not suffer any significant loss.[9] Could this be due to Russia’s first-strike policy[10] [11] that will see NATO nations hit with strategic nuclear weapons and the use of NEMPs (Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons) that will cripple the targeted nations?
Currently, the rhetoric regarding conscription in the UK is ambiguous. One minute, UK citizens are informed that we have a citizen army, so people will not be conscripted to fight.[12] Then we hear of government plans to bring conscription by stealth,[13] through gap year students being paid to do a month-long military boot camp to build a citizen army. However, if these gap year students join,[14] they will have enlisted by default and could be called up in the event of war.[15]
A recent YouGov survey in the UK reveals how the British people would not only not support a war but would not even enlist to fight. Out of those surveyed, only 12% of men and 3% of women aged between 18 and 40 would volunteer to fight if war broke out.[16] A further 27% of men and 16% of women aged between 18-40 would serve if called up if war broke out.[17] However, 32 % of men and 43% of women would refuse to serve if war broke out.[18] That is a total of 75% of those between 18 and 40 would refuse to serve.
However, 20% of men and 4% of women between the ages of 18-40 would volunteer to serve in the military if the UK was in imminent threat of invasion.[19] Nonetheless, 25% of men and 35% of women would still refuse to serve if called up, even if the UK was under imminent threat of invasion.[20]
While limited in participants, the above survey provides insight into how men and women feel about going to war and fighting for their country. Thus, have the decades of eroding nationalistic belief to embrace a pluralistic collective sense of identity along with the woke snowflake mindset that has besieged those that would be needed to fight given birth to a generation that is inept at going to war?
As a military veteran, I have watched the British army – once the best army in the world – be reduced to a similitude of Dad’s army. Please note that the UK still has some highly trained and capable soldiers; however, overall, it is not the army it once was. Furthermore, the young men and women who would be needed to fight and defend this nation, unlike those they would be fighting, have not got the emotional fortitude or physical strength to fight. Sadly, those sent to war are no match for the armies of the countries they will fight. NATO will suffer immense losses. Consequently, post-war NATO nations will be left with a depleted male population, leading to low birth rates.
Now, while both secularly and within the church, people are reporting war to be imminent, I believe we must see famine and an economic collapse first.[21] Then war will follow, with further famine and pestilence.[22] However, the global economies are already at breaking point. Thus, an economic collapse, like war, is imminent. Both could happen at any time. It is only the grace of God that is stopping any escalation, but why? Whatever the reason, it should cause us to seek the LORD like never before in prayer and fasting. As the people of God, turn to the LORD and beseech Him.
The reason global war will not take place yet is because Bible prophecy informs us that first, we will witness an economic collapse, then war.[23] Thus, while everyone is fixed on the prospect of war, the people of God must show wisdom and discernment by using the word of God – live by faith, not sight, and first prepare for famine and economic collapse, then war. However, please understand. I am not saying WW3 is not imminent, because it is! However, famine and global economic collapse will transpire first, followed by WW3. The timing between is unknown; it could be days, weeks or months, but both will happen and thus, we must prepare!
What we are witnessing currently is the rumours of war and conflicts in diverse places.[24] This is not the global war that will follow. But it is close. Nevertheless, we must understand that things will never return to normal. We are living in unprecedented times. A period the prophets of the Bible spoke about transpiring prior to the return of Jesus.
you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. Matthew 24:6-8 (ESV)
It is no secret that war will transpire. It is merely a matter of when. The coming global conflict will see unimaginable numbers of men die. Last week, I met to discuss gathering men to call out to God in repentance as they turn to God and seek His face in prayer and fasting. When reflecting on this call, which I am aware of many being burdened to do likewise, I was reminded of the scripture that tells us that two billion people will die from war, famine, pestilence and wild beasts when the fourth seal opens.[25] I was then struck with the thought that God is calling for men to humble themselves before Him because soon, God will judge the nations, which will result in many men dying. Now, in war, it is predominantly men who fight and will die. Men we all know will be slaughtered as an offering to the devil that will give rise to the antichrist. Thus, what are you doing about this?
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:7-8 (NIV)
Consequently, I urge people to prepare! Furthermore, while war is inevitable, personally, I would not fight in an unjust war. A war that will see the rise of the antichrist. Thus, I urge parents to pray for their children and protect them however they can.
Furthermore, what will you do about the coming famine, economic collapse and war to warn the people you care for, whom you love? What about men you know who could go to war? What will you do to warn them?
Have you been preparing for the days we live? If not, I urge you to act now! Prepare, spiritually and physically.
Global events and the coming war are merely the physical manifestation of a spiritual battle- a battle we can only fight using the spiritual weapons the LORD has given us.[26] Thus, it is incumbent on the people of God to stand in the armour the LORD and to use the sword of the Spirit, the word of God, to pray and fast as they seek the LORD and engage the enemy. However, I caution you that WE must pray in accordance with scripture. Bible prophecy WILL be fulfilled. Judgment is coming, but we can cry out for mercy during judgment and for people to turn to God. Many in the days ahead will be killed; thus, let us pray for people to have an encounter with the Living God and to surrender their lives to Him. Therefore, while the body might be killed, the soul will not.
Furthermore, I urge people to seek the LORD like never before. Turn the god of the black box off – the TV – and pray and seek the LORD. Not only does your life require it, but also that of your families and friends. Additionally, prepare physically, purchase long-life food, and water purification tools, and connect with like-minded people. If you need help and guidance, email me at nathan@faithandprepared.com
May the LORD bless and keep you as you prepare
