Does Bible Prophecy Say North Korea Could Trigger World War III?

Altogether, this shows that even though North Korea will not be the spark that sets the world on fire, we should take its threats and actions seriously. As Trumpetexecutive editor Stephen Flurry and managing editor Joel Hilliker wrote on August 15: “If nothing else, the mere threat of a mentally unstable tyrant in North Korea using nuclear weapons should cause all of us to be asking some very hard questions. Rising current nuclear tension should provoke us to consider seriously the biblical prophecies of nuclear destruction. Those prophecies are drawing closer than ever to fulfillment!”

Bible prophecy gives a surprisingly detailed description of World War iii and other end-time events, but it does not give every detail.

The Bible assures God’s people, “We have also a more sure word of prophecy” and says that our understanding of it becomes clearer as we draw closer to Jesus Christ’s return to Earth (2 Peter 1:19). God instructs us in Luke 21:36 to be vigilant regarding the prophecies He has recorded, and to carefully watch for the evidence of those prophecies being fulfilled in the headlines each week: “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

The evidence matches what Jesus Christ prophesied, and shows that World War iiiis rapidly approaching.

Yet, as we see that conflict approach, there is cause for great hope! In Matthew 24, Christ says that the global war at the end of this age will be so devastating that it could kill all human life. Then He adds a vital detail in verse 22 (New Living Translation): “But it will be shortened.”

World War iii will be cut short! Before mankind fires his last weapons to totally annihilate himself, Jesus Christ will interrupt the conflict. Immediately after that time of unprecedented death and destruction, He will establish a new age of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Christ will rule the Earth as King of kings and Lord of lords. He will usher in an epoch of worldwide peace for the peoples of the Korean Peninsula, the U.S., the Middle East, Europe, Russia and everywhere else. Regarding this future era of global harmony, Isaiah 2:4 says: “[N]ation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

Knowing how close that radiant future is can give us perspective that fills us with hope.
