NY nuclear attack Public Service Announcement: Will the USA possibly get nuked?
New York City put out a PSA in case of a nuclear attack without much context.
A lot of people were confused about the timing and whether they were missing something.https://t.co/8kpTOXIzaL

New York City ran a Public Service Announcement about what to do if a nuclear bomb were to hit the city:
NYC releases PSA for residents in the event of a nuclear attack
FROM THE NY POST: New York City’s Emergency Management Department released a 90-second public service announcement Monday featuring empty city streets and sirens going off in the background amid the rare event.
“So there’s been a nuclear attack. Don’t ask me how or why,” says a woman who’s walking a deserted city street. “Just know that the big one has hit, OK? So what do we do?”
The PSA laid out three actions residents should take, with the first common-sense measure being getting inside as quickly as possible.
“And no, staying in the car is not an option,” she says. “You need to get into a building and move away from the windows.”
Once inside, New Yorkers are told to stay inside and shut every door and window.
“Have a basement? Head there,” she says. “If you don’t have one, get as far into the middle of the building as possible.”
City residents who were outside at the time of a blast are advised to wash up as soon as possible.
“Remove and bag all outer clothing to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body,” the PSA advises.
The final step is to follow media for more information and sign up for Notify NYC for official alerts and updates to know when it’s safe to go back outside.
“Alright,” the woman says reassuringly. “You’ve got this.”
An emergency management spokesperson told The Post one of the pillars of the department is to educate residents on natural and manmade hazards.
“The likelihood of a nuclear weapon incident occurring in/near New York City is very low. However, it’s important New Yorkers know the steps to stay safe,” the spokesperson said. “The new PSA encourages New Yorkers to take key, simple steps in the event of such an incident.” 07/13/22 https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/will-new-york-city-psa-warning-residents-how-to-survive-a-coming-nuclear-attack-cause-even-more-souls-to-flee-the-once-thriving-metropolis/
Actually, the probability of New York City getting hit by a nuclear bomb or other weapon of mass destruction is very high.
As far as the PSA steps go, one source I checked stated that while the steps could possibly help those downwind of a nuclear attack, they were basically useless where a large nuclear bomb would hit.
That being said, Bible prophecy warns that more wars and destruction are coming to the power with the strongest fortresses:
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39)
And that looks to happen after there will be false declarations (1 Thessalonians 5:3) and hopes for peace (Romans 3:10-18).
Since the USA is the power with the strongest fortresses in the 21st century, Daniel 11:39 is a prophecy related to the destruction of the USA.
Furthermore regarding prophesied destruction, notice the following:
33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste (Leviticus 26:33).
And while God did allow the Assyrians to scatter the children of Israel back in Old Testament times, they did not then destroy their cities. Thus, the “cities becoming waste” prophecy is still waiting to be fulfilled. This is expected to impact the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh (the Anglo-nations). Nuclear and other high-tech weapons (as well as emp, electromagnetic pulse, bombs) are modern ways to make land desolate and cities waste.
In 1948, the late Radio Church of God Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong taught about what may happen at the beginning of the great tribulation and before Christ returns (the agreement he refers to at first may not be a public one):
There will be an agreement by which the police of the state will ENFORCE Catholicism upon all citizens inside its jurisdiction. The description of this new superstate is found in Revelation 17, a union of ten nations in Europe. It is pictured as the “BEAST”–which even footnotes in the Catholic Douay Bible admit is THE ROMAN EMPIRE…Thus once this EMPIRE is revived in Europe…the new-born…military power will without warning DESTROY AMERICAN AND BRITISH CITIES OVERNIGHT WITH ATOMIC BOMBS, conquering our peoples, taking our survivors to Europe as THEIR SLAVES! (Armstrong HW. Now it Can Be Told. The Plain Truth magazine. December 1948, p. 6)
Let me point out that I believed it will be a CHANGED version of Roman Catholicism that will be enforced.
Anyway, while there may actually be even more modern weapons used than atomic bombs, later Herbert Armstrong specifically taught he felt that this attack would occur 30 days after the abomination of desolation taught about in Daniel 11:31, which is probably around Daniel 11:39:
The indication is the armies of the “beast” of Revelation 17, entering Jerusalem…What is this abomination? This refers to Daniel 11:31 and Matthew 24:15…From this time (Daniel 12:11) to Christ’s coming will be 1290 days. Now, verse 12, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and comes to the 1335 days.” Never before have we understood these periods of 1260, 1290. and 1335 days. But it seems evident, now, a blessing is pronounced on us–GOD”S CHURCH–who wait and endure until the 1335 days–approximately 1335 days prior to Christ’s coming…We shall then be warned, and readied to be taken to a place of refuge and safety from the Great Tribulation. Forty-five days later “the beast’s armies” will surround Jerusalem. Thirty days later the Great Tribulation will probably start with a nuclear attack on London and Britain–and possibly the same day or immediately after, on the United States and Canadian cities. The GREAT TRIBULATION, we shall fully then realize, is the time of “Jacob’s Trouble,” spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7. And Jacob’s name was named on Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48:16). At that time a third of the people in our nations will die, or shall have died, by famine and disease epidemics; another third will dies of the war–our cities being destroyed (Ezek. 6:6), and the remaining third will be carried to the land of our enemies as slaves (Ezek. 5:12). (Armstrong HW. The Time We Are In, Now. Pastor General’s Report-Vol 1, No. 15, November 20, 1979, Page 2)
Do any other verses in the Bible support the idea of something like a nuclear war?
Yes.
Consider the following:
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, ‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’ 29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:23-29).
The whole land being “brimstone, salt, and burning” is consistent with a nuclear type of attack.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts
The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. 21 Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah (Isaiah 9:19-21).
Nuclear and certain other modern attacks tend to burn land up.
Jesus said that the time was coming when “there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened’ (Matthew 24:21-22). That is consistent with a nuclear war and probably something worse.
However, the good news of the Kingdom of God is that Jesus will return and put a stop to the type of nuclear devastation that happened in Nagasaki 73 years ago and the devastation that will happen during the Great Tribulation:
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:29-30)
6…And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4)
Nagasaki and Hiroshima are reminders to the world about how devastating modern warfare can be and that humankind needs a better way.
Although real peace is coming after Jesus returns (check out the free online booklet: The Gospel of the Kingdom of God), the Great Tribulation and destruction will come first.
NYC’s PSA will not prevent that.
Jesus said to focus on the Kingdom of God and God’s righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
He also promised to keep the Philadelphian Christians “from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).
As people in Ukraine learned in the past few months, disasters can come when most do not expect them.
Destruction is coming to the USA and its British-descended allies.
Do not delay to take the appropriate spiritual steps.
