00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another talk in our multi-part series involving a

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,680
thorough consideration of the 18th chapter of the Book of the Revelation, hosted here

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,840
in the Bible prophecy masterclass.

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,440
Our text for this study is, Judgment Day, Volume 1, Prelude to Armageddon, Part 1, United

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,200
States of America in Bible Prophecy, by author Alvin Mitchell.

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,000
I am Carol, and I will be your host.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,320
In today's episode number 21, we are continuing where we left off last time with Pandora's

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,480
Box, or Part 2 of the discussion begun in episode number 19.

9
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,440
The Achilles' Heal of the USA, the objective being to establish just how the nations might

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,720
or will doubtless go about fulfilling God's desire to see the mightiest nation of all

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,000
time demolished and burned to the ground, never to rise again.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Hemp, the Venomous Fangs. Arthur Holly Compton, the Manhattan Project.

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,960
The threat within the threat was actually discovered before the threat itself, deployed

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,520
in 1945.

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,680
Back of 25 to 30 years ago, exposure to this inner threat and its ensuing impact would

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,400
have been much less of a cause for concern.

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,800
Today, however, marks a brand new chapter, in a nation heavily dependent upon both the

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,080
crutches of electricity and sophisticated electronics.

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,480
This other half, if not the better half, of the nuclear threat officially established

20
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,840
in 1945, is called Compton Effect, or Compton Scattering.

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,720
In 1923, a physicist named Arthur Holly Compton stumbled onto the discovery of this phenomenon

22
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,960
named in his honor independent of any work leading directly to the development of the

23
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,200
atomic or nuclear bomb.

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,920
So years later in 1941, he would chair a committee of the National Academy of Sciences commissioned

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,680
to explore atomic energy in search of any application which might have military implications

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,240
and ramifications.

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Together with physicist Ernest O. Lawrence, it was he who was instrumental in the launch

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,240
of the Manhattan Project, which created the first atomic bomb.

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,360
The work for which Mr. Compton is best known won him the Nobel Prize.

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,960
This work centered on the strange reaction achieved when bombarding atoms, having low

31
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,360
atomic numbers and weights, with streams of photons from high energy electromagnetism in

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,600
the range of x-rays and gamma rays.

33
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,800
It seems that whenever these energetic packets of light particles strike atoms of the aforementioned

34
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,600
type, they do so at the point of the loosely held electrons in the atom's outermost shells

35
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,600
and rings.

36
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:41,160
That, is where the chemical bonding of everything matter in the universe takes place.

37
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,920
When the photon strikes the electron, it does so as when one marble strikes another on a

38
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,960
tabletop.

39
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,400
During this contact, an energy transfer takes place so that the photon gives up some of

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,640
its energy.

41
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,320
Hereby, the tiny electron becomes saturated with energy more than it can handle so that

42
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,920
it cannot remain in its orbit or... supercharged.

43
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:08,760
The excessive excitement and a recoil throws the electron out of its orbit, driving it

44
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,960
away from the atom at a speed near that of the light, with which it was struck.

45
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,240
This phenomenon is the driving force behind that which will in all likelihood spell the

46
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,080
doom of Babylon the great god's justifiable pseudonym of choice for the United States of

47
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,720
America.

48
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Electromagnetic Pulse, EMP.

49
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,400
While it was neither observed nor understood with the dropping of the first two atomic

50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,800
bombs on the Japanese in 1945, Compton Scattering, or, Recoil, is an inevitable occurrence that

51
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,920
accompanies any nuclear explosion.

52
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,560
This was first confirmed accidentally in 1958 and in 1962, during high-altitude hydrogen

53
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,480
bomb explosions over the Pacific Ocean.

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,560
There were 10 total, all were the so-called exo-atmospheric tests, in that the blasts

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,080
occurred in outer space, outside the Earth's atmosphere.

56
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Supported by American nuclear weapons designers, each detonation of these bombs created a flood

57
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,800
of gamma radiation, which upon entering and striking the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in

58
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:18,200
the atmosphere, caused a momentary ionization, chemical breakdown, of these atoms.

59
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,520
In this way, their bonding electrons were sent flying in floods toward the Earth and

60
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,240
through it, on a roughly 8,000-mile journey to its underside, where they were repelled

61
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,080
by the Earth's magnetic field, and, thrown back up into the upper atmosphere's magnetic

62
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,600
field where they vibrated furiously before returning to their respective atoms.

63
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Termed an electromagnetic pulse, EMP, an intense electric field is generated by the movement

64
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,040
of these electrons, which prevails in and throughout a whole process that can last from

65
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,200
1 1-millionth of a second for the initial and most damaging pulse, to one second, sometimes

66
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,920
slightly longer, for secondary effects that cause further damage.

67
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,280
The impact produced is like, but far stronger, faster and briefer than a flash of lightning.

68
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,400
One might be inclined to think, therefore that, an occurrence as brief as that would

69
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,600
be relatively inconsequential, and for the vast majority of the undeveloped, or underdeveloped

70
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,720
world, one would be right.

71
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,520
Little or nothing significant would change in these nations, in the wake of an EMP blast.

72
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,400
FURA has been superpower like the old Soviet Union, which also conducted similar high-altitude

73
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,000
tests during those early years of nuclear testing drawing the same conclusions, but

74
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,760
also following up by hardening of its electrical infrastructure, little would be noticed.

75
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:44,360
However, on the other hand, in a highly developed, industrialized economy such as these United

76
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,760
States, where electricity and electronics play so vital a role in virtually every aspect

77
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,840
of everyday life, to the point it can well be said that they form the backbone of our

78
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,160
society, the ringtone of this story signals ominous days upon the horizon ahead, from

79
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,120
which there is ultimately no escape.

80
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,200
The Achilles' heel of our society is thus well established and exposed for any adversary

81
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,920
to both see and to exploit, at his leisure, according to some authorities.

82
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,320
FISHBOWL AND STARFISH PRIME As stated earlier, nothing significant was

83
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,280
observed beyond the expected when fat man and little boy were dumped upon the imperialist

84
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,920
Japanese during the waning moments of World War II.

85
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:34,640
However, during the high-altitude tests conducted over the Pacific between 1958 and 1962, codename

86
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Fishbowl.

87
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,480
Strange phenomena began to take shape almost 1,000 miles from ground zero.

88
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Nothing in terms of why, was understood until 10 years later, in 1972.

89
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,400
In Hawaii, 800 miles from a nuclear burst nick named Starfish Prime.

90
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,400
The following became a matter of public record.

91
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,640
All over the state massive disruptions, in electrical services, in the form of 300 street

92
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
lights blown, according to Wikipedia.

93
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,480
Radio stations shut down, radios and television sets failed, power lines fused together, circuit

94
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,040
breakers tripped, burglar alarms set off, the telecommunications relay system damaged,

95
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,760
while maritime radio navigation was shut down for 18 hours all the way to Australia.

96
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,360
In short, anything electrical, connected to a power source or anything metal that could

97
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,840
act like an antenna, and everything turned on at the time of the blast, suffered some

98
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,160
form of damage from what was considered relatively weak EMP.

99
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,880
There were no electronics to contend with in those days.

100
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,160
The Russians also conducted high-altitude tests during the year 1962 in which they saw

101
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,960
the following.

102
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Overhead and buried underground cables damaged, as far as roughly 373 miles away from the

103
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,360
center of the explosion, burned out surge arresters, fuses blown, power supply failures

104
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,680
of various types.

105
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,800
In 1963, the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty, signed by the US and Russia, put a stop to

106
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,960
high-altitude nuclear explosions.

107
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,840
It's a wolf, it's a wolf.

108
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760
The Swan Song of Chicken Little.

109
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,080
Once the deadly consequences of a nuclear explosion were recognized as having reached

110
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,560
far beyond the detonation, the ensuing fireball and the fallout.

111
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,760
Certain criers stood up to sing.

112
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,520
It's a wolf, it's a wolf.

113
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,760
They sang with all their heart, in all sincerity on the one hand, and, on the other, the sky

114
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240
is falling, the sky is falling.

115
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,960
All, as it were, to a lethargic audience that might just as well have been dead, or dying,

116
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,040
as, seeing nothing?

117
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,040
Nothing less, nobody responded.

118
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,960
As late as October 7, 1999, nobody of any substance in America was taking the potential

119
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,280
of EMP seriously.

120
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,000
Subsequently, while the Russians are said to have hardened most, if not all of their

121
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,120
electrical and electronic infrastructure in view of a possible EMP attack and recognition

122
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,880
of that potential and the cost if left unchecked the US, on the other hand, is said to have

123
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,360
done relatively little.

124
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Nothing, to be exact, in the civilian and commercial sector and whatever the military

125
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,200
claims to have done to shield against EMP is said by some to be seriously compromised

126
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,920
and therefore flawed.

127
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,480
Cots, the danger.

128
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,440
In the past, significant advances in the consumer industry tended to follow new developments

129
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920
in military-related technology.

130
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Today, in a sense, yesterday's military leaders have become the followers, trying to capitalize

131
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,800
on so-called letting-edge technologies, in that much of the military's electronics are

132
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,080
said to be assembled now with what is known as Cots, commercial off-the-shelf equipment,

133
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,240
which was never designed with survival in an EMP setting in mind in so many words, chances

134
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,760
are pretty good they will not hold up during an electromagnetic pulse attack.

135
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Thus, US vulnerability in the event of a well-orchestrated EMP attack is said to be extremely high.

136
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,720
With the military disabled and out of commission, a hardened public-private sector might hardly

137
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,160
matter.

138
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,480
If so assaulted as in a pre-emptive first strike, therefore, there is solemn fear in

139
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,440
both military and government circles that she will not survive.

140
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:26,520
This, of course, is very much in keeping with the Bible's expectation concerning Babylon

141
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,440
the Great, cocky, arrogant, overconfident in her wealth and national security, completely

142
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,200
at ease and therefore, totally unaware of her vulnerabilities.

143
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,820
But, why?

144
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:39,480
Or, how?

145
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,120
What justification is there for all the ______ do, about EMP?

146
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,760
The Achilles' heel of Babylon the Great.

147
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Electricity and electronics.

148
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:55,240
As shown already, realistically, no one enemy nation today could ever hope to mount a successful

149
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,940
troop-based military assault against the US, and win.

150
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:05,320
Most assuredly, not in one hour, like a haughty giant of Goliath proportions, her generals

151
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,920
have been heard gloating publicly, we can beat anybody, on the battlefield.

152
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,920
Obviously, even any coalition of nations has for the moment deemed it wise to think twice.

153
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,320
In addition, this country is simply too big and too spread out.

154
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:27,200
Therefore, in order for any attack by a foreign power to be successful, they need a weak spot,

155
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,920
a kink in our national armor.

156
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,040
That weakness, according to the DoD and others, is provided by America's heavy dependence

157
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:41,720
and reliance upon electricity and electronics a dependency unmatched by any other country.

158
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,700
This is the Achilles' heel of the United States of America, arrogantly left exposed by years

159
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:51,080
of apathy and neglect on the part of those who thought it could never happen, in spite

160
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:58,360
of repeated warnings, it's a wolf, it's a wolf, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

161
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,800
In nuclear-tipped rocket, the warhead would have to be relatively large, somewhere in

162
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,080
excess of the megaton range.

163
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Launched from any enemy position so as to detonate in outer space, 200 to 350 miles

164
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,920
or so over the state of Kansas, will produce enough EMP so that everything electrical and

165
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:21,400
electronic, as long as it is turned on, from coast to coast, including portions, if not

166
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,440
all, of Canada and Mexico to the north and south, will be either instantly seriously

167
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,120
damaged and crippled or completely destroyed.

168
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,000
In short, the entire nation could conceivably be utterly devastated, brought to its knees

169
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,560
in one fleeting moment by any one nation, properly equipped, using one single weapon,

170
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:45,000
i.e., the high-altitude, electromagnetic pulse generator.

171
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
This can be either a normal nuclear warhead, on an ICBM or rocket.

172
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,080
Used so as to take full advantage of only its EMP potential, or, it can be specifically

173
00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:00,560
designed so as to deliver EMP as its chief and only destructive force, independent of

174
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:06,320
a nuclear blast the method of choice for the Russians, according to one source.

175
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,780
Although no one would be killed or directly harmed by the blast effects, all may sayers

176
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:15,600
and doubters aside, the town criers and the chicken littles would have the American public

177
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:21,320
know, they have been crying officially before Congress since 1997, that the cascading impact

178
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,800
of EMP would send the United States of America into a catastrophic nosedive, landing it in

179
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,440
a state of ruin and a 200-year setback, from which it would never recover.

180
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,560
In so many words, this nation would be dead nationally and internationally, in every way

181
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:42,160
imaginable in the matter of only a few fractions of a second.

182
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Given the nature and the power inherent in just one electromagnetic pulse, as just described,

183
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,600
just the electrical and electronic infrastructure from east to west, north and south would

184
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,520
be fried, toasted, and totally disabled.

185
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,480
All public, commercial and government computers and operation at the time, along with everything

186
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,520
joined by long cables and power lines, are connected to some form of antenna, would be

187
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,280
destroyed.

188
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,920
All communication systems would be, or could be disabled, although the phone companies are

189
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,000
said to have claimed that they can survive EMP.

190
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,640
Commercial institutions would be shut down.

191
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,120
The ability to conduct foreign trade would be irreparably damaged.

192
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,480
Public services would cease, as all aspects of the transportation industry would grind

193
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,920
to a standstill.

194
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,640
No cars, trucks, buses, trains would run.

195
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,840
No airplanes would fly, as the nation's fuel supply line would be permanently disrupted.

196
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,920
Not at all inconceivably.

197
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Airplanes might start to fall out of the skies, as their sensitive electronics are destroyed.

198
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Food and water supplies and other items vital to our survival would eventually run out,

199
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,160
as mass starvation would set in along with rampant epidemics and diseases due to poor

200
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,280
sanitation, killing multitudes.

201
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,720
All this would happen over time, if the EMP were the only threat.

202
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,320
Conceivably, even if the military could weather the storm of a hemp attack, as it claims it

203
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,000
can, the armed forces could still perish in the end for want of a way to replenish supplies

204
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
and equipment, all aspects of industry being dead, and due to its inability to fund and

205
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,560
mass deploy troops and machinery, the fuel industry also being shut down.

206
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,760
As intimated before, there are varying opinions as to how much of an impact EMP would have

207
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,080
on the homeland should one ever occur.

208
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,400
Armed with at least a basic knowledge of electromagnetic pulse, and with some understanding

209
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:44,200
of the 1958-62 high-altitude tests conducted both by the US and the then USSR, and the

210
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,320
negative and damaging, far-reaching effects observed by each, it does not take an intellectual

211
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,480
genius to see or hear the wisdom in the voices of that chicken little crowd.

212
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Additionally, that wisdom is exacerbated not only by recent developments in so-called

213
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,720
Third World, rogue, nations like North Korea and Iran, but by the Russians during the Kosovo

214
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,640
crisis.

215
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,600
North Korea is a nation which being officially still at war with the US and South Korea cannot

216
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,240
feed its people, having seated most to starvation.

217
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,400
Yet, is said to have had the capacity to deliver a nuke to US doorsteps as early as 1999, it

218
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,240
might now have had hemp since 2015.

219
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:31,720
The North even announced, as of late in 2008, that it now has enriched weapons-grade uranium.

220
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,760
Iran hosts the lofty ambition of knocking out the US with one EMP.

221
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,240
The Russo-Sino threat.

222
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,880
In May of 1999, while NATO bombed what was then Yugoslavia, the Russian Duma is said

223
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,960
to have threatened the US with a paralysis brought on by an EMP lay down, should its

224
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,920
policies with regard to Kosovo continue as they were at that time, this per Vladimir

225
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Lukin, former Soviet ambassador to the US.

226
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Chinese open-source writings are also said to have spoken of that country's intent to

227
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,280
employ EMP as a primary weapon, should they encounter a conflict involving their bid for

228
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,520
Taiwan.

229
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:16,360
As of August 20, 2004, they were known to be actively pursuing development of EMP.

230
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:22,880
Furthermore, it was feared at that time that, by 2005, they would have 30 ICBMs that can

231
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,400
reach the US, and 60 by the end of the decade.

232
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,640
Before their lackluster performance in the wake of these threats, US officials on the

233
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,920
other hand do not appear to have taken the intimidation voiced by the Russians or the

234
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,120
Chinese lightly.

235
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:42,360
They each have now the capability to make good on any threat to deliver a debilitating

236
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,920
EMP strike against the United States.

237
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:51,280
Thereby, bringing it to its knees well within one hour, in so doing, of course, either,

238
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,000
or, if not both acting in concert, would throw the world into a state of turmoil which would

239
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,880
see the Russo-Arab-EU invasion of Israel followed by a Jewish period of global dominance,

240
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,320
preceding the launch of the apocalyptic period, known as the Great Tribulation.

241
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,120
As there would be no one willing or able to withstand the risk of trying to stop so overwhelming

242
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,520
a force.

243
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,480
Moreover, it appears to be common knowledge that the Russian war machine is now primarily

244
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,480
strategic in nature, and EMP-oriented.

245
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:27,640
Thus, it is fully anticipated by US leaders and military war planners that should there

246
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,520
ever be any escalation intentions, any serious lapse or breakdown in relations, leading to

247
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,360
the outbreak of a nuclear exchange between the states and Russia.

248
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:42,560
A pre-emptive first strike by the Red Army would by policy mandate a hemp lay down,

249
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,560
doubtless because it will be the quickest, most efficient and cost-effective route to

250
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,560
an end that could otherwise be protracted and costly, detrimental to them, given their

251
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,000
current, insurmountable, multifaceted crisis.

252
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,800
See the discussion of Russia in, Judgment Day, Volume 2, Prelude to Armageddon, Part

253
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,320
2, Israel catapulted to global superpower, also by this author.

254
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,560
Thanks to its many nuclear warheads, which currently cannot be matched, although many

255
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:17,080
should have been destroyed by now, Magog no longer has to rely on a costly, time-consuming

256
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,680
tactical deployment of troops and equipment to wage and win a war that could drag on for

257
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,180
years.

258
00:19:23,180 --> 00:19:28,660
It can now lounge in its own backyard and, at the push of a button, deliver death, unimaginable

259
00:19:28,660 --> 00:19:33,960
destruction and create carnage untold within minutes on any nation's doorstep, defeating

260
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,320
any enemy, anywhere on planet Earth, including Babylon the Great All without ever leaving

261
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,320
home.

262
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,520
That is a very real threat that none is taking lightly, as Russia proceeds with its ill-fated

263
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:52,560
invasion of Ukraine, as of October 16, 2022, wagging its finger over its nuclear option,

264
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,700
should foreign powers and allies become more physically involved in Ukraine's efforts

265
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:59,920
to repulse its advances.

266
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,160
Operation Abel Archer, Raindrops from Hell.

267
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,680
The Bible indicates that, not only will mighty Babylon the Great collapse in under one hour,

268
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,960
she will also be burned to a crisp, with fire.

269
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:18,000
This, no doubt, is meant to imply that an all-out, more direct nuclear attack might immediately

270
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,860
follow any debilitating nuclear hemp strike.

271
00:20:21,860 --> 00:20:26,960
She will not be left to linger long in her suffering, so determined is God's design against

272
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,920
her, so passionate his heart felt, longing and desire for her complete desolation.

273
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,840
In fact, it might easily be said that, if there is one silver lining here, one bright

274
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,720
spot for America, at what will be its last and its most desperate hour, it has to be

275
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,680
that her downfall will not only be merciless, it will also be swift and complete, so that

276
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,840
if there is to be any widespread suffering at all, it will not be much, and not for long.

277
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,880
Think the foregoing scenario to be far-fetched?

278
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,360
The Andropov era of Cold War paranoia is over, but the occasion for Russian agitation and

279
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:07,520
pronussed to aggression in the face of US foreign policy and involvement in international affairs

280
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,480
is not.

281
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,480
Consider.

282
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,080
And, as for that consideration, ladies and gentlemen, you will have to make plans to

283
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:21,000
join us next time for episode number 22 of the Bible prophecy masterclass.

284
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,080
We hope to see you then.

285
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:39,160
Till we meet again, God bless.
