It looks like the start of World War III may be as early as October 2024 when the great comet arrives [C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)]. This one will be so bright it can be seen in daylight.
The Ukraine War will reach a peak, China will invade Taiwan, a huge Middle East war will be in progress (and Mabus will die, MBS of Saudi Arabia), and possibly a new war in Hungary/Balkans. Some historians may say Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was the actual start of WW3.
I'm not sure if this will be the war of most European prophecies or not, especially the Austrian, German, Czech, Polish and Catholic prophecies. Most so-called WW3 prophecies do not mention a comet when Europe is invaded by the East. The times in fact are sometimes said to be rainy, dark, gloomy.
In fact, Nostradamus seems to be the only one linking a world war to a major comet. The great war of the old European prophets and Catholic prophets do not mention a comet, therefore theirs must be a different war, possibly World War 4 and not 3.
World War III will be short, if it is fought at all (yes, it can be still be averted), and over by the end of 2025. Then will commence a long intervening conflict between China and Russia. A new North-South conflict will also erupt forcing Northern nations to ally, including the US and Russia along with Canada, the UK, Scandinavia, Finland, Poland, and a few others. The Sino-Russian war will become one also involving the US (thus it will be the second US war with China if the US is in conflict over Taiwan).
Why the North-South dynamic? Partly because Iran will become powerful along with the Central Asian republics. They will no longer have any need of Russia or China. The entirety of Asia will change into something new: republics and alliances that never before existed or not since the days of Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun will emerge.
Catholic prophets say the great and terrible war will start sometime in 2038 following several civil wars in France. That war will lead to a massive invasion of Europe from the East and the three days of darkness in the late winter following. That would have to be 2039.
Why 2039? Because the timeline of events given for 2038 is filled right up to the end of the year with various civil wars and a war of the false pretender to France, after which they say the great monarch will arrive at last, either just before or during the three days of darkness. So they take us right up to December 2038 and then say the three days of darkness happens in late winter. That would be the first three weeks of March 2039.
That is just plain common sense!!!
Of course they could be wrong. For that matter all prophecy could be wrong for all we know!
Also, for almost three weeks BEFORE the three days of darkness will be a long, rolling earthquake worldwide.
In any event, if all this is true that war would be World War IV ... NOT World War III.
How would that be possible? How could we ever survive WW3 to fight such a horrible WW4 over a decade later?
It would be possible if World War III is a conventional war and non-nuclear.
Could millions die in a conventional war?? Absolutely, yes.
The conventional weapons Russia is using are horrific as are Ukraine's. The ones China has we have never seen used in warfare yet ... but they will be truly destructive on a scale unprecedented if used. The same is true about America's new conventional weapons, much more deadly than anything used thus far. Some nukes could get used in a Middle East war I suppose, by countries like Iran and Israel, but not nearly enough of them to cause anything more than regional destruction (if any are used that is).
We have to remember that the conventional weapons of today are far deadlier than those used in the Vietnam War or those used in the Gulf Wars or Kosovo for that matter. WW3 may be the last global conflict using conventional weapons. WW4 on the other hand will be nuclear and biological.
World War IV will reach its peak during the "three days of darkness." That would be a massive invasion of Europe by largely Asian forces led by Kazakhstan and Muslim forces led by Iran with full global war, including TOTAL nuclear war, following in a matter of a few days. By that time Russia as we now know it will no longer exist and will be absorbed into "the East" (the great Empire of Antichrist).
Even if the worst of the war happens in 2039 during the three days of darkness and the great monarch begins a peace in France and other places, Nostradamus says that wars will continue in other parts of the world up to at least December 2044. He says Italy, Spain, and the United States will be in flames at that time. Most certainly other countries will be too.
2/3 of humanity worldwide will die during the three days of darkness. Most of these will die over a three hour period on the final day or night of darkness. As horrific as some wars will continue to be after 2040, not one will match the death and destruction of the three days.
Even a hundred Hiroshimas would not come near to the horror of the three days of darkness.
Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests
The full death toll of violence in the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, let alone of the broader global war on terrorism, remains difficult to determine. But it has long been surpassed by an even larger and more opaque figure: the count of people who have died as a result of post-9/11 conflicts. Brown University researchers, in a report released Monday, draw on U.N. data and expert analyses to attempt to calculate the minimum number of excess deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across conflicts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — impacts “so vast and complex that” ultimately, “they are unquantifiable,” the researchers acknowledge. The accounting, so far as it can be measured, puts the toll at 4.5 million to 4.6 million — a figure that continues to mount as the effects of conflict reverberate.
