Those who follow the Bible and accept the prophetic forecasts of Saint John who wrote the Revelation prophecies, may well believe that the end of the world as we know it, is just around the corner.

There was once a flood that destroyed the world and plenty of scientific and geological evidence has been found to substantiate this antediluvian trauma.

Revelation prophesies that the coming of Jesus will be predicated on the destruction of the world by fire. Maybe the world is already on track toward such an inferno, with massive environmental destruction by fire in places like Canada and other countries in the world’s northernmost reaches.

Is global warming doing everything from impacting the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic to getting the world ready for a universal and all-over explosion of fire? Is the melting of the tundra and the warming of massive permafrost areas part of this change toward the world’s final curtain?

Are the warlike caprices of Russia, the dreadful situation in the Middle East and the posturing of China toward Taiwan, adding to the anticipation and the reality of the coming conflagration and the end of the world in the fires of Armageddon?
