I'd say it's a valid viewpoint.
Israel has attacked Lebanon and is threatening Syria. They have accused Iran of sending troops to Lebanon and attacking an Israeli ship. America, England and many other nations have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan already, and those troops are frequently under fire from terrorists and foreign fighters. Venezuela's leader has been saying many of the same things about the U.S. as Iran and North Korea have, and Venezuela is one of only a few countries still trading with N. Korea (supplying much needed oil in exchange for modern armaments). To top it off, Iranian engineers were present at N. Korea's missile launches last week.
Everything is ultimately interconnected. World War III isn't the big USA/USSR showdown everyone feared in the 1950-1980s. It's a bunch of regional conflicts that together are destabilizing the entire world, socially, economically and politically. But the entire world IS involved, one way or another.

Maybe not W.W.III but definetly the end of the world.
Matthew 24, verses 6 - 8 says "6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains." So this is the beginning of the end of the world.Christ is coming back HALLELUJAH.

moviesauce hit it right on the nail... it will be just like World War 1, in the sense that there's a whole lot of events that have, and will fall into place that could start a world war...

In theory, it could be possible, but I don't think any 2nd world country is at war with someother nation.

Newt is still around? I don't believe anything he says. A man who tells his wife , as she is battling cancer, that he wants a divorce, is no man I want to hear.
