UNITED NATIONS - Humanity is on the brink of "nuclear annihilation" with the threat reaching its highest boiling point in forty years, a top UN chief has warned. The nuclear arms race has the globe teetering "unacceptably close" to mass atomic destruction, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said. He urged nations that have "stockpiled nearly 14,000 nuclear weapons" to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to avoid an international crisis.
It comes as wealthy countries continue to show off a string of advanced destructive arms that could result in catastrophic conflict. He addressed the issue in a powerful tweet pleading with global powers. "Now is the time to lift the cloud of nuclear conflict for good, eliminate nuclear weapons from our world, and usher in a new era of trust and peace," he wrote.
The recent alliance formed between the US, UK and Australia has only heightened fears World War Three could erupt. The United Nations boss previously raised concerns about the likes of China, North Korea and the US, among a string of other countries, not yet endorsing the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The pact was signed by 185 countries in 1996 but has yet to come into action.
The global appeal for peace comes as a top Chinese diplomat warned his country to re-examine their promise to only use nukes in retaliation, in response to the new alliances forming in the region. Beijing's former ambassador to the UN, Sha Zukang said China must make the first nuclear strike against the US if Joe Biden continues to defend Taiwan.
“The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.” (Isaiah 59:8 KJV)
Nothing much has changed since this was written over 2500 years ago. The nations have now stockpiled 14,000 nuclear weapons – they made a pact to ban them back in 1996, but as yet – no action! Now, China threatens a “first strike” at the USA!
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
