The Bible tells us that when Christ returns, there will be another end-of-the-world type destruction, like Noah's Flood, but with fire. What is truly surprising is that God is not merely deciding to judge the world, and destroy those who do not measure up; no, the main reason the fire of God's Wrath is going to burn the world is to save humanity and civilization from total annihilation!
Mankind will be the cause of global destruction through nuclear war, which will threaten to destroy all life on Earth through a "nuclear winter" that follows a nuclear war. Only a few humans would barely survive a nuclear winter, and not civilization. This is why Christ is going to return and judge the world at this time, because only the righteous deserve to be saved. Messiah must destroy most of the world in order to save humanity and civilization.
There will be a peace deal to end WW3, but while they are signing the deal they are planning a surprise nuclear strike in which America will be nuked and Israel invaded. Evil will believe it has taken over the whole world, but then about two weeks after the nuclear strike, the world is covered with dark clouds, threatening to bring a nuclear winter.
But God counters with several asteroid impacts that literally burn up the sky. But these impacts bring three days of total darkness. There will also be volcanic eruptions, coronal mass ejections (CME), and small 2nd sun will come close enough to Earth to burn us with its flames! Yes, there are in fact prophecies that reveal this, going all the way back to the Erythraean Sibyl.
There will also be poisonous air. All of this will kill 80-90% of the global population. There will also be a crustal displacement, earth moving out of its orbit, an axis tilt, pole shift, and much more. Those who survive will be all those who repented after the Rapture. But they will live in a Paradise on Earth.
Though Christ is returning to destroy sinners from the world and set up his Kingdom, the burning of the world will be an act of mercy, to save civilization from total destruction. This is the only reason Jesus must return at this time. God's timing is always perfect!
The prophecies tell us what the "signs in the sun, moon, and stars" will be before the global destruction hits us. Today we look at a conjunction of planets or blood moons as signs, but they are not signs of the end of the world, because those things have happened many times before and will happen again. No, the signs that Jesus told us about are astonishing, and shocking. Like the prophet Joel said, there will be "wonders" in the sky.
This book is filled with many prophecies from the Book of Enoch, Sibylline Oracles, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and even Catholic and Protestant prophecies. It was written to warn God's people to prepare in advance, so that they can better survive those terrible days that include the Great Tribulation and the Wrath of God at the end, because the Rapture will not take all Christians. Many Christians will miss the Rapture.
