time lose control of the city of Rome. Those countries which will be allied 

against the Arab nations will regain control of Rome. When the allies retake 

Rome,  it will seem like a great victory. But, because the Arab forces were 

not able to hold the city, the Arabs will decide to destroy Rome and Vatican 

City with a nuclear weapon. 

    Though the Arabs will use nuclear weapons early in the war, there will 

not be, in World War III, an all out nuclear war; only a few such weapons 

will be used. Some countries will then be afraid to fight against the Arab 

countries because they have used nuclear weapons. But the war will 

continue for many years. (However, many nuclear weapons will be used in 

World War IV.) 

Europe Defeated 

    The Arabs will defeat and occupy France. The Christians of France will 

be particularly oppressed and persecuted as a punishment for their many 

sins. Italy will suffer greatly.  All of the countries  of Europe will fall to the 

Arabs. Some may decide to give up without a fight. I think that the United 

Kingdom will also be defeated and occupied. NATO will be defeated and 

disbanded. The United Nations will cease to exist. Some Eastern European 

nations will also be occupied. A large portion of northern Africa will be 

conquered by the Arabs, and all of the Middle East, except Israel. The Arabs 

cannot conquer Israel because it is not God's will. The Israelis have nuclear 

weapons and the will to use them. The Arabs will not be able to conquer 

lands to the east of their nations. God places limits on what they can do. 

    The war will last for many years. Tens of millions of people will die in 

World War III.  The Arabs will eventually, after much death, destruction, 

and suffering, win the war. They will occupy and control a vast territory for 

many years. 

Changes in the Occupied Countries 

    Once this long war, World War III, is over, the Arab leaders will control 

and oppress the Christian nations of Europe. Though the war will have 

ended, there will be no real peace. The Arab occupiers will change the laws 

and the customs. They will require the use of the Islamic calendar. They will 

revoke many laws which people formerly considered rights and freedoms. 

They will enforce limits on dress and behavior. They will oppress Christians 

and oppose the Church. The Arab leaders will pressure the defeated 

Europeans towards their way of life. 

    Some of these changes will please God and others will not please God. 

The Arabs will not permit licentiousness in behavior, nor in clothing. They
