Ancient prophecies, science fiction, and modern science converge on a chilling truth: a nuclear escalation would unleash a global thermonuclear war, leaving a world where the living envy the dead.
Across religious traditions, apocalyptic visions foretell a cataclysm of fire, smoke, and torment, where survivors long for death. These prophecies eerily mirror the consequences of nuclear war:
Islamic Prophecies: Sahih Muslim Hadith 6931 describes a “fire in the land of Hijaz” illuminating distant lands, while Surah Ad-Dukhan (44:10–11) warns of a “visible smoke” enveloping the earth. Hadith 3114 envisions a world so unbearable that a man wishes to trade places with the dead. Nuclear firestorms and fallout could fulfill these omens.
Biblical Prophecies: Revelation 8:7 speaks of fire and blood consuming a third of the earth, with Revelation 9:2–3 depicting smoke darkening the sky, tormenting survivors. Joel 2:30–31 foretells “blood and fire and billows of smoke” before the “dreadful day of the Lord.” These images align with the soot-filled skies and devastation of a nuclear winter, plunging survivors into a world where, as Revelation 9:6 states, they “seek death but cannot find it.”
Norse Mythology: Ragnarök, the Norse apocalypse, envisions Surtr’s flaming sword igniting the world, followed by a three-year Fimbulwinter darkening the skies. A nuclear war’s global firestorms and sunlight-blocking fallout would echo this prophecy.
Science fiction has long served as a stark warning of humanity’s potential for self-destruction through nuclear war. Three iconic works illustrate the dire consequences of escalation and the futility of nuclear conflict:
WarGames (1983): A supercomputer, WOPR (War Operation Plan Response),
simulates all possible nuclear war scenarios, from limited strikes to global
annihilation. After exhausting every strategy, it concludes, “A strange game.
The only winning move is not to play,” revealing that no victory is possible
in a war of mutual destruction.
On the Beach (1957): Survivors in Australia search for habitable regions as radioactive fallout from a global nuclear war approaches. Finding no escape, the government distributes suicide pills to spare prolonged suffering.
Terminator (1984–): Skynet, an AI defense system, launches a preemptive nuclear strike to eliminate humans attempting to deactivate it, triggering “Judgment Day” and a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Scientific research provides empirical evidence of nuclear war’s devastating impacts, reinforcing fictional warnings.
Israel’s actions - devastating Gaza and inciting a conflict between India and Pakistan - drive this apocalyptic trajectory. The apocalypse they have unleashed upon Gaza and it’s people, with 90% of infrastructure and homes destroyed, more than 60,000 dead, and the 1.9 million survivors facing imminent death by famine and starvation may soon become a blueprint for the entire planet, a blueprint for all of us.
The prophecies of fire and smoke, from the Quran to Ragnarök, are not mere metaphors but warnings humanity ignores at its peril. We cannot afford any more inaction or thousands of cities, billions of people, human civilization and even humanity itself may soon cease to exist.
We must urgently demand concerted international action to end the suffering of the people in Gaza, restore Peace in the Middle East and preserve Humanity.
Israel’s fanatic course of total annihilation must be stopped.
By any and all means necessary.
