I know many of you want to think its conspiracy but Bill Cooper in, "Behold a Pale Horse" talked about this.
Bill Cooper thought it would happen in 2000 but he was about 10-15 years off..... however, as I've said before back it up with reading your Bible, Obadiah 15-18 is about to be fulfilled. Just remember one thing, if a nuclear bomb goes off in the USA, it will be only because our government/military allows it (because HAARP can stop it).
The other day I watched the tv program, "prophecy in the news" . It was about solar eclipses/lunar eclipses. When something happens on a jewish holiday, one had better take note. There was a solar eclipse last year (8-1-08), this year (7-22-09) and next year (7-11-10) and they all fall on the " first day of Av" in the Jewish calendar. They also went on to say that there were 4 lunar eclipses and 2 solar eclipses occurred in 1492 and 1493 and during that time jews were expelled from Spain. This also happened in 1949-1950 (right after Israel became a nation) and also in 1967/1968 (six day war). Now the interesting part, this will occur again (and the ONLY time in this 21st century) the Lunar eclipses are October 8, 2014 (Feast of Tabernacle), April 15, 2014 (Passover), April 4, 2015 (Passover), Sept. 28, 2015 (Feast of Tabernacle) and the 2 solar eclipses are March 20, 2015 (1st of Nisan) and on Sept. 13, 2015 (Feast of Trumpet)................... This will NOT be a ho hum event. The Bible links darkenings and disruptions of the sun with judgments. These are all formed (lunar and solar eclipses) around the feasts of Israel.

If you were paying attention last year, although it wasn't in US news, China and Russia are both starting to build up their military.

Wars and rumors of wars -- to the highest degree possible.
Nation Arising Against Nation, Kingdom Against Kingdom -- once again, this idiomatic phrase indicates a war beginning between two local powers, in which other powers jump in, supporting the original two combatants, so that a much larger conflict instantly breaks forth! In this case, we see the New World Order Plan to start a war between Israel and the Palestinians [House of Esau, Obadiah 15-18], in which both sides will receive allies, resulting in World War III. The Illuminati has been planning a World War III since 1870 [Read NEWS1056 and NEWS1057 for full details].
Famines will occur as the result of this war, probably in Third World countries. Much of the famine may be the result of this coming Third World War.
Earthquakes can now be created by HAARP technology [Read NEWS1196, NEWS1197, NEWS1198, NEWS1199, NEWS1201, NEWS1206, and NEWS1207 for full details on the current capabilities of Weather Warfare. Both America and Russia have these capabilities].
New Age author, Bill Cooper, writing in his book, Behold A Pale Horse, succinctly states that the appearance of Antichrist will include a massive earthquake in Los Angeles. Let us fully quote him here: "They have plans to bring about things like earthquakes, war, the Messiah, extra-terrestrial landing, and economic collapse ... Can you imagine what will happen if Los Angeles is hit with a 9.0 quake, New York City is destroyed by a terrorist-planted atomic bomb, World War III breaks out in the Middle East, the banks and the stock markets collapse, Extraterrestrials land on the White House lawn, food disappears from the markets, some people disappear, the Messiah presents himself to the world, and all in a very short period of time? ... MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE BETWEEN NOW AND THE YEAR 2,000 ..." [p. 177; Emphasis in the original]
This is THE Illuminist Plan! And, it will bring the peoples of the world to such a panicked state of mind that Jesus words will become reality, "Men's hearts failing them for fear ..." [Luke 21:26]
