The speculation around Albert Pike's letter to Mazzini, suggesting that three world wars would be necessary for the establishment of a "New World Order," remains a point of interest. This letter proposes that the Third World War would involve a conflict between Israel and the Arab nations, leading to a global conflict that would welcome the Antichrist and set the stage for Christ's return.
Intriguingly, this prediction aligns with the prophecy in the biblical book of Ezekiel, chapters 38-39. This prophecy foretells a great war involving Israel and a confederation of nations, led by a figure from the north, often interpreted as Russia or generally as an entire Muslim world.
Adding more detail to this picture, in 1968, a Christian woman from Norway prophesied about four waves that would occur before the Third World War and the return of Christ [See some details here, if interested]. Her prophecy, though not authoritative, aligns with biblical prophecy, making it worthy of consideration.
The first wave, she predicted, would involve a time of peace and a 'lull' before the storm, possibly referring to the relative peace following World War II. The second wave, as per her prophecy, would be characterized by a lukewarmness without parallel that takes hold of the Christians, a falling away from true, living Christianity. This shift is evident in the shift among Christians from the essential Gospel to prosperity gospel, performance-based religion, and a focus on material wealth and worldly things that the Gospel never promises. However, it's not by surprise as Galatians 1:6-9 forewarned Christians against turning to a different gospel.
The third wave, according to the prophecy, would bring a significant moral decline in society. The rise of premarital sex, infidelity in marriage, co-habitation, divorces, fight for rights and even sins against nature (such as homosexuality, LGBT) are all indicators of this moral decline. The emergence of TV and social media channels disseminating defiling content, such as pornography or violence, further underline this decay. It's remarkable to observe how events foretold years ago are unfolding before our eyes today. Prophet Daniel, in his wisdom, hinted at the coming of the Antichrist, foretelling a time when abominable acts would pave the way (Daniel 9:27). Similarly, the apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Thessalonians, echoed these sentiments, underscoring the gravity of the times (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
The fourth wave, as described by the Norwegian prophet, involves migration of people from developing nations to wealthier countries, a trend noticeable in the present times. Furthermore, she suggested that this wave would be marked by a lack of acceptance and harsh treatment for these migrants, similar to the experiences of Jews during the Second World War.
Following these four waves, the prophecy foretells the onset of the Third World War. The conflicts in eastern Ukraine that have arisen since 2014, which are believed to mark the beginning of this war, could be seen as the fulfillment of this prophecy. The prophecy further warns that this war will be unlike any prior conflict, culminating in a nuclear war that would pollute the air, ruin the water and soil, and leave only a remnant of humanity. This prophecy resonates deeply with the insights presented in Revelation 8:7-11. Indeed, we find ourselves in a period symbolized by the sounding of trumpets, yet it begs the question: who among us will truly heed their call?
Looking back to the clandestine agenda, the above prophecy also aligns with Pike's letter, which envisaged a war unlike the previous two world wars. Pike's letter proposed a war fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the political Zionists and the leaders of the Islamic World, where both sides mutually destroy each other. The letter also mentions the unleashing of Nihilists and atheists, provoking a formidable social cataclysm. Notably, the cataclysm would lead to the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.
In this context, it is critical to understand the role of nihilism and atheism. As per Pike's letter, these ideologies predominate on the side of non-Zionists (the communist Islamic world). They were cultivated to destroy Christianity and eventually inaugurate the religion of the Antichrist, replacing the vacuum left by the destruction of the previous belief systems. Its foundation rests upon principles of morality, scientific relativism, and pluralism, embodying a complex ideology. Indeed, as described in Revelation 17, it carries connotations akin to those of a significant figure, the Great Prostitute.
As Christians, it's crucial to approach these prophecies with humility, discernment, and a firm conviction in the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21). If these discussions, including the understanding of Ezekiel 38-39, hold merit, it suggests that we could be witnessing the unfolding of the prophesied end times, signaling the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. This knowledge should not lead us to fear, but to prayer, faith, and a renewed commitment to sharing the gospel. As Jesus Himself said, "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28).
