What would happen if a Western leader openly suggested using nuclear weapons against Israel? Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, recently made a stunning remark: “Spain, as you know, does not have nuclear bombs… We alone cannot stop the Israeli offensive.” He is effectively saying that if Spain had nukes, he would use them. It is obvious to the point of sounding trite, to say that nuclear weapons are dangerous, and that the more nations that have them, the more dangerous the world becomes. But apparently some among us need reminding of that fact. The Prime Minister of Spain implies that he would obliterate Israel in order to save — not the people of Iran — but the terrorist regime that subjugates them.
God says, “Fear thou not” (Isaiah 41:10). Satan says, “Yes, but what about China, Russia, and North Korea? What about the struggles of today’s young people? What about socialism’s rise in popularity?
The Antichrist may not arrive as an obvious tyrant but as a comforting administrator, one who promises global safety from catastrophic risk -- artificial intelligence (AI), nuclear war, climate disaster -- and quietly consolidates power in the process.
