American society has grown so dependent on computers and other electrical systems that we have created our own Achilles’ heel of vulnerability…”
Senator Kyl summed up the situation best when he said, “This threat may sound straight out of Hollywood, but it is very real.”
If this happens in the next two years before we are ready, here is what could result from an EMP attack.
“A successful strike would be virtually silent…While there would be no immediate loss of life, the cascading effects would result in millions and millions of indirect casualties. Contaminated water and food, no resupply, six months of darkness and total loss of communications. It would potentially throw us, technologically speaking, back to the 1880’s…In the 1880’s very few lived in the desert [like Las Vegas, Phoenix, LA and other parts of the USA]. It wasn’t survivable. Without working transportation, electricity for air-conditioning and pumps to supply water, the only way out is to walk…An EMP attack’s effects would be felt continent-wide, including Canada and Mexico…Senator Kyl says it could take the US as long as six months to make a minimal recovery. And that’s assuming the Russians, Europeans and Chinese will wait while we are helpless. The Muslim nations certainly do not want us re-assume our place as “the Great Satan superpower.” None of this is an over-exaggeration of the threat posed by such an attack. Neither is it as unlikely or impossible as we would like to believe… Bible prophecy clearly identifies four spheres of global power during the final hours of human history during the Great Tribulation. Ezekiel identifies the Russian/Muslim Alliance. John foretells the … military force of the Kings of the East. The prophet Daniel identifies the Kings of the South as the Muslim nations and a revived form of the old Roman Empire. There is no mention of a fifth global superpower that matches the description of the United States. On the contrary, the Revived Roman Culture of Europe is predicted as the supreme power…The United States is mentioned in Scripture for the last days, but in a very different context than the Tribulation. Writing of the Church Age, the Apostle Paul wrote;
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.” (2nd Timothy 3:1-5 NASB)
This is a hard truth. It is difficult not to recognize much of modern America’s social culture in Paul’s description.”
And perhaps we are gone by then. But no matter whether we solve this potential threat, two things are clear: America is unwelcome in the world today, and we are absent in prophecy. So we need to put our hope in what we can’t lose.
