End times - nuclear war

Here is someone's view of end times, sent for information purposes and posted on a Christian website:

"I'd like to share with you information that is the most important right now. According to Bible, the book of Daniel, Russia (depicted as the 'king of the north') will return. This means that many countries of Eastern Europe will again be allies with Russia. After that, Russia will enter somewhere south (it may be Georgia). This will begin the world war III because USA will come and oppose Russia (Da. 11:29-30a). Jesus also mentioned this: 'nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom' (Mt. 24:7). This means that this war will start with an internal war, within one country, and then transform into a global war between two world powers. In Luke we read: "There will be unusual, terrifying and powerful phenomena from the sky" (Luke 21:11). Could Jesus better describe what we now know as the nuclear weapon? There will be also significant tremors, famines and epidemics along the length and breadth of the regions. Some manuscripts also add "and disorders" (chaos) (Mark 13:8). The book of Revelation also mentions this. It informs that peace will be taken from earth, and that there will be used a great sword (Rev. 6:4), this means a great weapon - nuclear weapon. This will not be the end as many imagine! but only the beginning of the Lord's day. This is not yet the "last days". There are many more events to come, and they are all described in the Holy Bible. Right now, we will see the break-up of NATO and the European Union, as it is the only way for Russia return and be back in Europe. "

That is a clear reference to the nuking of Rome. - vapourized

I believe there will be a Nuclear war and that we are very close to it. I think it will involve
Iran Russia and Turkey against the USA Saudi Arabia and Israel. As far as I see it that's the only way
conditions taking shape prior to the second coming could come about

This same person whose post i quoted above also said this.

"God will allow for the WW3 to happen, and use this occasion to punish many people. God will judge the world step by step, gradually. Many Christian churches teach that the end is near, that we are living in the last days, and that the only thing before us is the Armageddon. But this is not true. According to Bible we are just entering the God's Day (Rev.1:10), and there are many events to come before the End Times begin. Jesus warned that there will be people preaching that the end is near, and that we should not follow them: 'He said, 'Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I AM,' and, 'The time is near.' Therefore, don't follow them.' (Luke 21:8) We should watch what is happening and take action to avoid danger. God may help us if He sees some value in us, but also, we cannot do nothing and think that God will miraculously save us. Jesus said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test' (Luke 4:12). Even Jesus fled when in danger, so did all God's servants depicted in the Old Testament as well as Jesus' followers in the New Testament. Wise words worth remembering: Proverbs 27:12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.' In Matthew 24:15-22 Jesus warns the first Christians of future events and advises them to flee. We also should be prepared. Mentally - we should know the danger, so that it won't come as a shock. Moreover, we should think of a safe place, away from big cities, or military bases. Of course the most important thing is to be close to God, and He will help us, but only if we take action. "
