I hear this often on this site. Why?

I see no land grabs to point to some massive group who wants to take over the world. Sure, I see the Islamic terrorist trying to do that, but they aren't very effective, and I see the majority of countries preferring to smack them out of the country, rather than put up with their nonsense for too long. (I see one or two countries stupid enough to go along with them, but that's just PCism coming to the expected result of PCism.)

I know enough of history to get why the last two World Wars happened, and had to happen. I don't see any evidence of the same stupidity coming along.

So what is it that makes so many people sure they won't die before they live in a dystopian society? Are you seeing something I'm not seeing or just so full of The End Times nonsense that it works for you?

Where is this famous WWIII scenario coming from?

We can't have any more world wars because all the major countries are now too economically dependent on each other...

Japan needs us to buy their electronics, China needs us to buy their...everything, Europe needs our steady influx of tourists, Russia needs us to keep bankrupting the middle east oil industry with our growing supply from fracking so they (Russia) can sell more oil in europe. And Canada needs us because.... because well, just trust me, they do. :rolleyes:

Yes but back then the major countries were not dependent on each other. There was little international trade going on, if any. Now its like all countries are business partners. If you look at each country's major banks you'll see that they have large investments in other major countries. Even the currency is now all tied together so that a small change in one affects all the others and that happens on a daily basis. The only one crazy enough to start a world war now would be the leader of North Korea, but he has no allies. If he starts something, the US, Japan and I think a few other nations will strike back at him and he doesn't even have a strong military. There have been pictures taken illegally in NK showing north korean soldiers, even officers and they all look malnourished.

A correct analysis. Micro and Macro Economics in play here.

Doesnt matter about counties being dependant on eachother. They all want a New Word Order, a one world government, one world currency etc. They want another world war & will produce a one world system out of it, order out of chaos is their mentality

Quiet war. One battle every ten years? This is going to take a very long time to fight, isn't it?
Quiet? Tell that to those outside the British parliament today.

It will take a very long time indeed.

World War III is coming? I wonder if I could hide out in the dessert.

WW3 will be the destruction of the West......including the fall of the U.S.......in my view everything that is happening is point to it...from Russia aligning with 3 Islamic allies, Syria seeking Russia's help in future conflict with Israel, China flexing it's muscle in the South Pacific, the rise of radical Islam and the current Pope opening the Vatican to Islamic prayers, to the failure of the world reserve currency (the dollar) etc......everything taken in the whole seems to indicate a very ripe situation for the possibility of a world war......it seems that it is out of the chaos that the beast rises.......

just saying and points to ponder

I make a great blueberry or apple pie!

But I digress. I believe these doomsday scenerios are all a result of crazy dispensatonalism. (Not classical, that is just a different view of eschatology, which is based on the Bible.)

But people living in the woods, gloom and doom, is simply not, and never has been the message of the gospel. True, Jesus is going to return some day. But not when we think things are bad, but in the timing the Father has set.

When I first got saved, people were giving me Hal Lindsay's books to read. I didn't know much about the Bible, so I accepted it as truth. Then, when I started really studying the bible, I realized that these books and movies (like Left Behind, too!) were fiction works, and about scaring people.

And it is fine to be scared reading a book or watching a movie. But, after, you need to come back to reality and work on your relationship with Christ, following him, and certainly being a witness to what Jesus has done.

So, no, even though the North Korean dictator is pretty scary, and yes, he has nuclear bombs, I still don't see it as a harbinger of WWIII to come.

If you focus on love and the good things in the world, you realise that WW3 is not coming. If you focus on being against evil and the evils in the world, you are actually part of the machine that makes WW3 more likely.

When people talk of conspiracy or WW3 coming, or things are going to get bad, run for cover, make sure you build your bomb shelters and spend lots of money on food and water - I see the devil at work. The devil wants a WW3 of course.

When people talk of such things, I don't think they are informing us of anything, they WANT it to happen, that is why they are saying it. They are literally waiting for it to happen. Anyone observe conspiracy theorists online and think hard about them and whether they have a somewhat dark agenda? I mean what are they teaching us, anything??

This is a complex psychology of why people do that (as well as becoming pessimistic, or doomsayers). Interestingly, you won't ever really hear them saying, 'everyone, lets get on, lets be kind to one another, lets love one another'. And there is a reason for that.

I don't know for sure if ww3 is coming or not I don't pay enough attention to the political world to know that or not. But some have said it's already here except it's a digital war, now granted countries are trying to secretly gather and hack data from each other but to say it's ww3 is simply false. World wars cause nothing but massive death and destruction there is no place to live in peace and safety in world wars. Even a digital one is not enough to call it world war 3 it's just an excuse to say it's here.
Many people who say this like mj said above me want it to be true they want it to happen kind of like how many people prep for the tribulation with food bomb shelters extra clothes ect. they don't just expect it to happen they want it too.

I hope I die before I live in a dystopian society.


I don't want cloned mutant children and a robot wife.


On the other hand... a wife you could unplug... hmmmm.
