What significance do events like this have according to the Bible?
- Jesus Christ foretold a time when “nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7) Read the article “What Is the Sign of ‘the Last Days,’ or ‘End Times’?” to see how the Bible shows that wars today fulfill Jesus’ prophecy.
- The Bible book of Revelation depicts warfare as a rider who is seated on “a fiery-colored horse” and who takes “peace away from the earth.” (Revelation 6:4) Read the article “The Four Horsemen—Who Are They?” to find out how this prophecy applies to warfare today.
- The book of Daniel foretold a rivalry between “the king of the north” and “the king of the south.” (Daniel 11:25-45) Watch the video Fulfilled Prophecy—Daniel Chapter 11 to learn why Russia and its allies can be identified as the king of the north. *
- Revelation also describes “the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” (Revelation 16:14, 16) However, this is not a war between nations such as we now observe. Read the article “What Is the Battle of Armageddon?” to find more information about that future event.
- The Bible says that God will bring “an end to wars throughout the earth.” (Psalm 46:9) Read the article “A Real Hope for a Better Tomorrow” to learn more about the future that God promises.
- Jesus taught his followers to pray for God’s Kingdom to come. (Matthew 6:9, 10) That Kingdom is the heavenly government that will accomplish God’s will for the earth, and God’s will includes world peace. To learn how the Kingdom can benefit you, watch the video What Is God’s Kingdom?
