What Does the Bible Say About Nuclear War?

 Does the Bible prophesy a nuclear Armageddon?

Some connect Armageddon to a global nuclear war.  No doubt they imagine the catastrophic consequences of such an event.

The Bible, however, uses the word "Armageddon" to refer to a war between the "the kings of the entire inhabited earth.," or human governments, and God. (Revelation 16:14, 16) Armageddon will not involve random destruction, leaving behind the devastation of a manmade nuclear holocaust. Rather, at Armageddon, God will destroy only the wicked, which will make true peace and security possible. - PSALM 37:9, 10; ISAIAH 32:17, 18; MATTHEW 6:10.
