Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened to nuke anyone interfering in the Ukraine war and while experts agree the chances of a strike on the West are low, the possibility cannot be discounted. Joe Biden has personally warned that the chances of 'Armageddon' are now greater than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. So, what would actually happen if a nuclear bomb were to strike London (top left), Washington DC (top right), New York (bottom left), or Paris (bottom right)? Dr Jeffrey Lewis, of the Middlebury Institute, walks MailOnline through the horrifying consequences - including the landmarks that would be utterly destroyed and the places where people would be most-likely to survive. What happens if the nukes fall? Amid fears that Putin will detonate nuke over Black Sea, expert reveals which parts of NY, London and other cities would be instantly obliterated … and where you'd stand best chance of surviving

Bob Barney: It's Important to Understand What the Bible Predicts About OUR Future

Like The Days of Noah...
February 27, 2025
For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.

In today's broadcast, Bob Barney explains the signs to look out for that Christ Himself foretold would occur BEFORE His return to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.
End Times? What to watch for-click to listen
Some reading to help:
Jesus Christ warned, “For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:21,22).
“Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:5).
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand:) “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:15-21). (notice the reference to THE SABBATH DAY!)
Daniel wrote, “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships: and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over” (Daniel 11:40).

Is a Solar Disaster on the Horizon? God's Celestial Prophesy and Science are Matching Up ~ Video Documentary
December 13, 2022
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. Psalm 33:6
(Photo from agu.org)
By Jennifer Rae
What is heading earths way is a catastrophic celestial disaster and one that we most likely are about to experience in our lifetime. This disaster cycle has been proven and is on track with a timeline of events expected to happen and science is not denying it. In turn, it is getting harder for the human race to deny it as well anymore.
And so once again, we have our amazing God
in the news of today!
The God of the Bible has warned us of such an event! NASA and many modern-day astronomers and sun experts have a plethora of information on how it all will look and how to best prepare (Isaiah 47:13-14), but knowing God, what HE says and trusting in Him is paramount to anything that may come our way. For we are His children and He above all else is our refuge and our future!
And as Bob Barney has stated emphatically, "this warning fulfills God's prophecies concerning the destruction of our nation by both natural and man-made events." You can read a great and informative column from him called, The Plain Truth: Is life for you about to change forever?
Our intent with this site is to share how the Hand of God is behind today's news and if you are a solar system and planetary junkie, this documentary may really be of interest.
Currently, for us here on earth, as Ben Davidson of Suspicious 0bservers explains in the video below, we are at the end of a calm period and a disaster is imminent. Watching this will help you understand how we have come to learn all about our star and its warning signs and what we need to start thinking about should all noted above be on course.
A special thing to do is to look up scripture relating to all of His glory in creating the universe. You will be majorly blessed as you learn how important the universe is to God and how many times He uses even the stars to show His love and His plan for us! Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. Psalm 33:8

Huge Multi-Billion Japanese F-35 Buy Changes Power Scale in Pacific
October 23, 2022
We at The Plain Truth have been predicting a rearmed Germany and Japan. the Bible hints at both to happen, and the moronic leadership of America and the world is helping this happen. There is no doubt that Japan will rearm and look to China as the land they will want to conquer. China is playing into the hands of the Japanese militarists and the Devil. Putin is doing the same thing with what he is doing in Ukraine. Germany will also rearm. To their credit, the Armstrongs (Garner Ted and his father Herbert) have been predicting this for 75 years!
Now today's Update:
By Kris Osborn, President, Center for Military Modernization
(Washington D.C.) Japan’s massive, multi-billion F-35 acquisition seems to be a development of enormous consequence when it comes to the question of deterring China or destroying any kind of fast-evolving People’s Liberation Army Navy attack on Taiwan.
The large Japanese buy, put in place earlier this year, will place large numbers of F-35Bs and F-35As within striking range of waters near Taiwan. These aircraft, particularly when combined with or networked to forward positioned US F-35s launching from amphibs or carriers, could “mass” a 5th-generation force of great consequence in the event of an attempted Chinese takeover.
“While here, the 354th AEW will integrate with U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning IIs assigned to III Marine Expeditionary Force to strengthen partnerships and enhance joint capabilities,” the Indo Pacific-Command paper said.
This kind of air-surface synergy would be of extreme value in any kind of military engagement in the Pacific, because while an America-class amphibious assault ship can operate as many as 13 F-35Bs, an ability to reinforce a maritime presence of 5th-generation platforms with land-launched F-35s would offer a combat multiplying for both US and Japanese forces. Using the well-known F-35 Multifunction Advanced Data Link, Japanese and US air and surface F-35s could coordinate missions, share data in real time and enable unprecedented attack interoperability.

Putin moves supersonic nuclear bombers to airbase near Finland and Norway borders as tensions rise over threat of 'Armageddon'

Vladimir Putin has again increased his strategic nuclear bombers at an airbase near the Finnish and Norwegian borders. The move comes amid high tension over whether he plans an atomic attack in Europe and his on-going invasion of Ukraine. He has gradually increased the number of strategic bombers at Olenya air base from none on August 12, to four Tu-160s on August 21, to 11 now. There are seven Tu-160 strategic bombers (marked in red) and four Tu-95 aircraft (marked in yellow) at the facility on the Kola Peninsula. The build-up above at the air base follows international concern over another report two weeks ago, when The Jerusalem Post revealed there was an 'unusual deployment' of seven nuclear bombers at the airbase. The Armageddon planes are usually stationed at Engels Air Base, 450 miles south-east of Moscow.

U.S. Blew Up Russian Gas Pipelines Nord Stream 1 & 2, Says Former Polish Defense Minister
September 28, 2022
Biden is just itching to start WWIII, and Americans are asleep! Get ready to kiss your pampered ass goodbye!
A former Polish Defense Minister, Radek Sikorski, has attributed to the United States the sabotage of two pipelines, Nord Stream 1 and 2, which carry natural gas from Russia to Germany. “Thank you, USA,” Sikorski wrote on Twitter. Sikorski was Minister of National Defense from 2005 - 2007 and served as Deputy Minister of National Defense and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, previously. He is currently an elected member of the European parliament.
Tucker Carlson floated the possibility President Joe Biden is responsible for the suspected acts of sabotage on the Nord Stream pipeline.
Finally emerging: The beast, mark and number of the beast revealed
September 19, 2022
'There's no reason to fear, we shouldn't fear anything as believers'

By WND Staff
For thousands of years, millions of Christians have been intrigued by mysterious Scriptures discussing the beast, the number of the beast, and mark of the beast.
"Shabbat Night Live" recently featured an interview with Joe Kovacs, author of the new bestseller, "Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything." to shed the light of truth on what Scripture means by the beast and everything associated with it.
Host Scott Laird, filling in for Michael Rood, said when most people think of the beast, "We think of automatically the devil. Evil. Everything bad. The beast. What is the beast? There is all kinds of mystery behind the beast. Nobody can seem to figure out, everyone has conjecture about what the beast is.
"Just like everything in God speed, you see this as a very child-like way, simple way of looking at something and I think we can find it very refreshing."
Kovacs said at the outset, "A lot of people tense up in anxiety when they hear the term 'beast.' There's no reason to fear.
"First of all, we shouldn't fear anything as believers in Jesus. The Bible tells us, 1 John 4:18: There is no fear in love. Instead, perfect love drives out fear, or casts out fear, depending on your translation."
Russia's Invasion of Ukraine is Jolting Germany into Rebuilding its Military
September 14, 2022
In some ways, it was a perfectly ordinary conversation — a trio of bright, ambitious German high school kids thinking out loud about what they might do after graduation. But their discussion reflected a sea change in social attitudes: They were considering joining the military.
A decades-old aversion to serving in the German armed forces — the scourge of Europe during World War II, underfunded and neglected after the Cold War’s end — is swiftly reversing itself as a result of the war in Ukraine.
These three 18-year-olds, all of them set to finish high school next year in the northern town of Koethen, are coming of age just as Germany, Europe’s economic powerhouse, is aiming to rebuild and revitalize its military after generations of lingering Nazi-era stigma.
One of the students, Steven Foerster, said he was drawn to high-tech opportunities in the Bundeswehr, Germany’s federal defense forces. His classmate Sarah Naumann thought joining up might be a good way for her to pursue medical studies. Jakob Fischer, another student, said he could see himself serving in a combat unit.
“The negative image isn’t really there anymore,” said Foerster. Naumann concurred: “The German army has become attractive again.”
Despite Germany’s strong postwar tradition of pacifism, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly seven months ago shocked the public into thinking very differently about national defense.
Three days after the war began, Chancellor Olaf Scholz — in office for less than three months — delivered a speech dubbed “Zeitenwende,” or watershed. With a single stroke, Germany embarked on the hitherto unthinkable: pledging to send heavy weapons to Ukraine and promising a $100-billion cash infusion for the military.
Those moves appear to have solid public backing. Polls suggest about two-thirds of Germans back the export of weapons to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. The country has absorbed a flood of Ukrainian refugees. And according to a survey by the polling firm Civey, nearly a third of Germans say they have a better image of the Bundeswehr than before the Ukraine war.
War and Corruption Made Ukraine a Terrorist Twilight Zone
August 26, 2022
UNSAFE HAVEN
Terrorists of many stripes take advantage of a deeply divided society, while the suffering of ordinary people in the combat zone seems endless.

Ukraine arrested one of the world’s most dangerous international terrorists last month in a special operation conducted by local, Georgian and American special services. Al-Bara Shishani, the former commander of the so-called Islamic State and deputy head of its intelligence operations, was detained on the outskirts of Kyiv. Shishani had been presumed dead for more than a year, but was hiding here and plotting international terrorist attacks, according to Ukrainian authorities. In fact, this country torn by a Russian-backed separatist war has become a kind of Twilight Zone for terrorists of many stripes who have found ways to cross its borders and take advantage of a deeply divided society where law and order have been undermined by official corruption and public confusion.
Nuclear war between the US and Russia would cause a global famine and kill more than 5 BILLION people
August 19, 2022
Foreword by Bob Barney:
God's Word hints that a nuclear holocaust will be the last world war for those of us remaining on earth
In Matthew 24, Jesus warns about a time of tribulation, especially for pregnant women (radiation fallout is implied), and also nursing mothers. In Revelation 9:14, we read that upward of a billion Muslims will be killed in a single day. And another 2 to 4 billion in a year!
The sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the golden altar that stands before the throne of God, 14 saying to the sixth angel, “Release the four mighty demons held bound at the great River Euphrates.” 15 They had been kept in readiness for that year and month and day and hour, and now they were turned loose to kill a third of all mankind. 16 They led an army of 200,000,000 warriors—I heard an announcement of how many there were.
That is only possible with something like atomic warfare.
As you can see, today's story is quite sobering, especially when you have moronic leaders like Joe Biden and his ilk doing anything and everything they can to start a war with Russia and China. These targeted countries have an abundance of atomic weapons! We have never been closer to a worldwide catastrophe than we are today! Our fate lies in making sure by any means necessary, that we put the proper God-fearing leaders in charge or else these prophesied events are sure to happen!
Today's Story ~
What Life Would be Like in the Event of a Nuclear War.
A nuclear war between Russia and the US would trigger a global famine that would wipe out almost two-thirds of the world's population, a new study suggests.
'More than five billion people would die of hunger during the fallout from a full-scale conflict', researchers say, and with computer simulations to show that firestorms would release soot into the upper atmosphere and block out the sun.
This would in turn spark crop failure across the world.
Lead author Professor Lili Xia, of Rutgers University in New Jersey, said: 'The data tells us one thing. We must prevent a nuclear war from ever happening.'
The modelling shines a fresh light on what would happen under six different war scenarios. This includes five smaller India and Pakistan conflicts as well as a large USA/Russia war.
Such threat has been brought to the forefront following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
5 Signs to Look for in the End Times
August 18, 2022
Forward by Bob Barney:
This is from TheTrumpet.com which is not associated with ThePlainTruth.com however, it is a very accurate portrayal of end time events. Please take a moment to visit their website.
Prophecy One: America’s Death Knell
Knowing the identity of nations is the key to understanding end-time prophecy. (You can have this key by requesting a free copy of Herbert Armstrong’s book The United States and Britain in Prophecy.) Old Testament prophecies, for example, spring to life when we understand that the termIsrael is referring to modern-day America and the British Commonwealth.
The entire chapter of Ezekiel 33 is a tragic prophecy about Israel’s downfall. In verse 11, God laments the destruction of these people, saying “turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
The Prophet Hosea saw a similar fate for the United States and Britain (Ephraim). “And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore, shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them” (Hosea 5:5). The Prophet Jeremiah also spoke of a time of unprecedented trouble in Jacob (also Israel, or the United States). “Alas! for that day is great,” he wrote, “so that none is like it: it is even thetime of Jacob’s trouble …” (Jeremiah 30:7).
According to each of these prophecies, we know it is the end time when the United States is stripped of its power and global supremacy and is overrun by its enemies. President Obama’s speech in Cairo was a sure warning that we now live in that time!
As one commentator noted in the London Times, he became the first Western leader since Napoleon to address Islam as a single bloc, thus legitimizing the Islamic extremist view that the world should be divided along religious lines. In his 54-minute, 6,000-word address, not once did the president use the word terrorism. His administration has carefully avoided using the term war on terror—opting instead for the obscurely worded “overseas contingency operation.” His repeated attempts to extend an olive branch to Iran and the rest of the Islamic world send an unmistakably clear signal to America’s enemies: The terrorists are winning. And they know it.
Jeffrey Kuhner, president of the Edmund Burke Institute, wrote about the global significance of the Cairo speech. “It will be remembered as the pivotal moment in history when the United States ceased to be a superpower,” he wrote. “Sapped of its self-confidence and sense of grandiose destiny, America chose the policy of appeasement over confrontation, lies over truth, illusion over reality” (Washington Times, June 13, emphasis mine throughout).
America’s position in the world, ideologically, morally, economically and geopolitically—especially in relation to radical Islam—has been declining for years. Obama’s capitulation in Cairo was a very public sign that America lacks the moral clarity to discern good and evil and the mental willpower to stand up against tyranny.
America’s enemies recognize weakness when they see it. The president’s overtures in Cairo, as sincere as they might be, will not result in better U.S.-Islamic relations, nor bring the people of the world together in peace. Instead, for all of his trouble, as Asia Times opined, the president will get “more megalomania from Iran, more triumphalism from the Palestinians, and less control over Iraq and Afghanistan. … It is hard to imagine any consequence except a steep diminution of American influence” (June 2).
