The Iranian government has just unveiled a hypersonic missile that it states is capable of penetrating the defense systems of any nation. If this is true, Iran, Russia, and China are now the only three nations claiming to have such missiles in their arsenal. The danger is amplified by Iran’s desire to develop nuclear warheads.

With its limited range of 1,400 miles (ca. 2,253 km), the Iranian missile is not capable of reaching Israel which is 2,300 miles (ca. 3,701 km) away, but it is expected this will be achieved in future upgrades.

However, if Iran’s hypersonic missile was capable of reaching Israel, it would only need seven minutes to travel that distance. In fact, Israel365 stated that the publicity campaigns surrounding the unveiling of this missile included this slogan, “400 seconds to Tel Aviv.”

Many believe the ancient Biblical prophecies describing the apocalyptic wars that would take place in the end times include nuclear warheads.

And as Israel365 notes, one of the main features of the Gog Magog war is how quickly it would be over (Isaiah 17:14), which is yet another verification of the use of nuclear weapons.

Over the centuries, Jewish Rabbis have focused on how quickly this massive end-times attack against Israel would take, as Israel365 News explains:

“The War of Gog and Magog is described in prophecy as being an unusually short war. A tradition from the Vilna Gaon (a prominent 18th-century Torah authority) teaches that the war of Gog and Magog will last 12 minutes. According to a 20th-century interpretation, “A third of the world will die, a third will suffer from plague and a third will survive.”

This 18th-century prophecy of a 12-minute war was surprising, as it came several hundred years before the advent of nuclear weapons. Conventional wars necessarily last much longer and such a quick war was inconceivable at the time. Such a short war, possibly a  nuclear exchange, may have been hinted at in the Bible.”
