Prophecy · The Last Days
Third
World War
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
Matthew 24:6
Few events have been spoken of by as many prophets, seers and saints as the great war to come. For many, the Third World War is no longer a distant possibility but a prophecy beginning to unfold before our eyes — foretold by Jesus himself, beheld in the Revelation of John, and witnessed down to our own time.
The Hour Draws Near
The world arms itself, nation rises against nation, and from every quarter one hears of wars and rumours of wars. What was once a dark warning is entering our reality: the Third World War has become a tangible danger.
Many prophets and seers foretold it across the centuries. Their visions resemble one another in a way that shakes the heart — and they agree with what Holy Scripture says of the last days. Whoever reads the signs of the times sees it: we stand not at the beginning, but in the midst of the fulfilment.
The Signs of the Present
What the seers beheld is entering before our eyes. The conflicts of this hour bear the marks of the old prophecies — and they escalate further.
Since February 2026 the United States and Israel have waged war on Iran; in July 2026 the strikes escalate again toward open war, with fighting in the Strait of Hormuz and targets across seven countries. Israel is at war with Hezbollah. “All cry peace, shalom — then it will happen,” Irlmaier beheld: a war in the Middle East that presses Israel.
Chinese fighter jets and warships circle Taiwan almost daily; Beijing means to take the island, by force if need be. Slavik beheld a war with China — and Revelation foretells the “kings of the east,” for whom the Euphrates dries up: the road to Armageddon.
Russia wages a covert war on Europe — sabotage, drones, cyber-attacks — and the United States warns of a military provocation against Poland. Irlmaier beheld the Russian thrust westward that begins “overnight” and reaches in three army columns to the Rhine.
No man knows the day or the hour. Yet the direction in which everything moves is unmistakable — it agrees with what the prophets have beheld from of old.
The Word of the Lord
“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 24:21
In his great discourse on the Mount of Olives (Matthew 24), Jesus foretold a time of tribulation such as the world has never seen and will never see again. Wars, famines and earthquakes he calls “the beginning of sorrows” — the first birth-pangs of a new age.
It is a prophecy of incomparable weight: no affliction before it and none after will equal it. Whoever takes it seriously understands why the coming war is more than a political event — it is a turning point of world history.
The Unveiling
What John beheld on the isle of Patmos reads like a mirror of our days: the breaking of the seals, the riders of the apocalypse, the red horse to which it was given “to take peace from the earth.” Revelation describes no distant legend, but the course of the end.
Ever more clearly the events fall into the picture drawn by the last book of the Bible. The Apocalypse is no threat from a grey antiquity — it is a timetable whose stations unfold before us.
The State of the World
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot... even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
Luke 17:28–30
Jesus expressly compared the end times to the days of Noah and the days of Lot — to Sodom and Gomorrah. The spiritual state of the world approaches that image with frightening speed: faith fades, morals decay, and the conscience of the nations grows dull.
It is the same falling away the seers beheld: first prosperity, then decay. The warning of Scripture concerns not the past, but our present.
The Seer of Freilassing
The Bavarian well-digger and dowser Alois Irlmaier (1894–1959), from Freilassing on the German–Austrian border, was to many the most striking German seer of the twentieth century. From 1928 onward, he said, coming events unrolled before him “like a film,” down to the smallest detail; during the Second World War he is said to have foretold where the bombs would fall and to have named the whereabouts of the missing. Charged with charlatanry before the district court of Laufen in 1947, he was acquitted. Concerning the road to the Third World War he left a sequence of signs that many today recognise with dismay:
First comes a prosperity such as never before. Then follows a falling away from faith as never before. Upon it, a moral corruption never yet seen. Then a great number of foreign people come into the land. Inflation runs high. Money loses more and more of its worth. Soon after comes the revolution. Then the war breaks in.
Handed down after Alois Irlmaier (1894–1959)
Irlmaier beheld the outbreak of the war as a sudden event — “overnight,” in the midst of a supposed peace: “The farmers sit playing cards in the inn when the foreign soldiers already look in at the doors and windows.” From the “Golden City” (Prague) he saw three army columns surge westward like wedges — as far as the Rhine and Cologne. A poisonous yellow dust, dropped from countless “doves out of the sand,” drifts across the land as a deadly strip; a great cross appears in the sky; for three days darkness falls. Yet in the end, said Irlmaier, “a long and happy time will come” — the war lasts only “three strokes,” and then peace returns.
The Warning of Science
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein
Einstein’s words hint at what a Third World War would mean: a destruction that hurls mankind back into the stone age. Even science senses what man has become capable of.
Revelation 13
“...that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:17
Revelation foretells a system in which no one may buy or sell who does not bear the mark of the beast — on the right hand or on the forehead. A payment system that marks the whole human being.
Some recognise in it the direction in which our age is running: cashless control, digital identity, even technologies such as the under-the-skin “quantum-dot tattoo” that stores data within the body. Whether reading or warning — Scripture calls to watchfulness.
The Sign of the Son of Man
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Matthew 24:30
In the midst of the greatest distress a sign appears in the sky — the sign of the Son of man, foretold by Jesus himself. The seer Alois Irlmaier beheld it three times and described it as “a great cross in the sky”: the Crucified with his wounds, whom all will see.
When it appears, there will be an earthquake amid lightning and thunder, and the whole world cries out: “There is a God!” In the hour when mankind stands on the brink of self-annihilation, heaven reveals itself.
A Witness from Russia
“Do not accept the chips, do not become corpses.”
From the appeal of Slavik’s mother
Decades ago a boy from the Urals warned of this very mark. Slavik Krasheninnikov (1982–1993) beheld the “world passport” of the Antichrist and the chip that imprints the number 666 as an invisible tattoo on forehead or hand by rays — and years before its introduction he named the currency “Euro”.
Whether gift or error — Scripture calls for testing: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” Yet his warning against the chip deserves serious attention.
The Promise
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”
Matthew 24:22
The prophecy does not end in darkness. Jesus promises that the days of great tribulation will be shortened — otherwise mankind would wipe itself out. At the end stands not destruction, but the intervention of God.
Therefore this message is not one of fear, but of watchfulness and hope. Whoever understands the signs sets his house and his heart in order — and awaits the new heaven and the new earth.
A Word Beforehand
This site is not a place of panic, nor a doomsday calendar. It is an invitation to look, with a clear mind and an open Bible, at a question that troubles millions today: is a third great war coming upon the world — and what does Holy Scripture have to say about it? We wish neither to spread fear nor to soothe, but soberly to weigh what Jesus, the prophets of the Bible and two humble seers of our own time have foreseen.
Jesus did not leave his disciples in the dark about the last things. On the Mount of Olives, in sight of the temple, he spoke openly of wars, of famines, of earthquakes and of a tribulation such as the world has never known. And into these grave words he set a sentence that stands like a guiding star over all: „See that ye be not troubled“ (Matthew 24,6). To look, and not to be afraid — that is the key in which this site is to be read.
Whoever follows the news of these days senses that something has been set in motion. The nations arm themselves, old orders break apart, and fire flares on many fronts at once. It would be foolish to see nothing in this; and just as foolish to make hasty calculations of it. Between blind carelessness and panicked end-time arithmetic lies a narrow, bright path: watchful, prayerful testing. That is the path we mean to walk.
Prove All Things
Not everyone who speaks of the future is a prophet, and not every striking image comes from God. So Scripture itself sets a clear measure: „Prove all things; hold fast that which is good“ (1 Thessalonians 5,21) and „Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God“ (1 John 4,1). To test is not to reject everything — but neither is it to swallow everything. It is to weigh every claim against Scripture and against sober reason.
The Old Testament even names a plain criterion: „When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken“ (Deuteronomy 18,22). A vision that does not come to pass exposes itself. And even where someone speaks truth, that alone guarantees no sound doctrine: the Bible knows a Balaam who prophesied truly and yet went astray (Numbers 22—24; 2 Peter 2,15).
For this reason we present the seers Alois Irlmaier and Slavik Krasheninnikov not as infallible voices, but as witnesses to be tested — word for word, measured against Scripture. Where their images agree with what Jesus and the apostles said, they deserve serious attention. Where they go beyond it or contradict it, the written word alone stands. Thus the Bible remains the measure, and the seer becomes a pointing finger, not a judge.
The Discourse on the Mount
When the disciples asked Jesus about the end, he gave no date but a series of signs. Wars and rumours of wars, nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom, famines, pestilences and earthquakes — all this, he says, is only „the beginning of sorrows“ (Matthew 24,8). The word means birth pangs: they come in waves, they grow closer and fiercer, and they announce not a death but a birth.
Then Jesus speaks of a „great tribulation“, such as „was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be“ (Matthew 24,21). He warns of false christs and false prophets who work „great signs and wonders“ to deceive, if possible, even the elect. He names an „abomination of desolation“ in the holy place. And he paints the end in cosmic colours: the sun darkened, the moon withholding its light, the powers of heaven shaken.
Yet the aim of this discourse is not terror but watchfulness. Again and again the same call returns: „Watch“. No one knows the day nor the hour, not even the angels of heaven (Matthew 24,36). Precisely because the hour is hidden, we are not to calculate but to be ready — as a householder watches who knows not the hour of the thief. Whoever reads Matthew 24 as a threat has missed half of it; it is a summons to faithfulness.
Two Witnesses from the People
It is remarkable that the most striking visions of the coming war came not from scholars but from simple people. Alois Irlmaier was a well-digger from Bavarian Freilassing, a quiet, devout man who found the missing and located the buried — and who described a coherent picture of an invasion from the east, of three army columns reaching to the Rhine, and of a sudden, short war. Slavik Krasheninnikov was a boy from the Urals who, at a few years of age, warned against the mark of the beast and died young.
Their images resemble one another to an astonishing degree, though separated by countries and decades: a war that breaks in suddenly when all cries „peace“; a time of darkness and dread; and afterward a turning, in which people find their way back to God. Such agreements should not be brushed aside. But neither should they be exalted. Some of what is told about the two has grown up only later, and not all of it withstands testing.
So here too the measure of Scripture holds. Where Irlmaier calls to repentance, to prayer and to trust in God, he stands in accord with the Gospel. Where in Slavik the warning against a forced marking of humanity sounds forth, he touches what Revelation itself says. Other things — date speculations, marginal legends, all-too-precise maps of the war — we deliberately leave in the realm of the uncertain. A witness is no Gospel; he is at best a finger pointing to Scripture.
The Mark
One image from Revelation has moved people especially over the centuries: the mark of the beast. „And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark“ (Revelation 13,16—17). It concerns a power that binds access to the daily bread to a sign of submission.
One need not be a fanatic to see how near this ancient vision comes to the questions of our time: to a world in which payment grows ever more cashless, in which digital identities, biometric recognition and the seamless linking of data are possible. The Bible commits itself to no particular technology, and neither do we. Yet the essence of the matter — control over buying and selling, coupled with a bending of conscience — is easier to imagine today than in any age before.
What is decisive is not a piece of technology but a question of worship: to whom does a person belong? In this very distress Revelation calls for the patience of the saints, for faithfulness and endurance. The answer is not fear, but the firm resolve to submit to no one but God alone. Whoever settles that in the heart before the hour comes cannot be taken by surprise.
A Glance Back
The twentieth century brought humanity two world wars, and both were held to be unthinkable in their hour. Before 1914 a Europe drunk on progress believed such a conflagration was no longer possible in a connected, educated world. A few weeks later, whole generations were sinking into the trenches. And barely two decades on, while „the war to end all wars“ was still fresh in memory, a greater one broke in and cost more than fifty million lives.
Both times the ruin began almost casually, from a spark, and then grew beyond every plan. And both times it was preceded by a deceptive sense of safety. This very image — war breaking in while all still cries „peace“ — recurs in the visions of the seers, and it stands already with the apostle: „When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them“ (1 Thessalonians 5,3).
History proves no prophecy. But it removes the comfortable illusion that such a thing could not happen again. Whoever looks back soberly sees it: humanity has learned astonishingly little from two catastrophes, the weapons have grown immeasurably more terrible, and the fault lines again run straight across the world. Against this background the biblical warning is to be weighed not less, but more — not as scaremongering, but as an earnest plea to be watchful.
And Yet
„And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.“
Luke 21,28
After all the gravity of this site, at the end there stands no abyss, but a hope. The same discourse that speaks of wars and terrors opens into an astonishing charge: not to duck the head, but to raise it. „Lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh“ (Luke 21,28). For the one who trusts God, the end of the old world is not ruin but the dawn of redemption.
For over all the tumult of the nations stands a God who does not lose the overview. History does not run into the void, but toward a goal he has set. „Fear not, little flock“, says Jesus (Luke 12,32). And Paul writes that in all distress nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8,38—39). Whoever stands in that need not fear the coming days.
What then remains to be done? To watch, to test, to pray — and today, not someday, to make peace with God. The signs of the times are no cause for paralysis, but a call to turn back while it is still day. This site wants nothing else than to make that call audible: see that ye be not troubled. The one who foretold it holds the world in his hand — and he has the last word.

Questions & Answers
Numerous prophets, seers and Holy Scripture foretell a great war of the end times. Jesus himself spoke in Matthew 24 of wars and rumours of wars and a great tribulation such as never was. Whether and when the Third World War comes, no one knows for certain — yet for many the signs of the times point to its nearness.
The Bible does not use the term “Third World War,” but it describes wars of the end times: the Mount of Olives discourse of Jesus (Matthew 24), the riders of Revelation, the storm of Gog from the north (Ezekiel 38–39) and the vials of wrath. Many read these texts as pointing to a coming world war.
According to Revelation 13, a system will come in which no one may buy or sell who does not bear the mark of the beast on the right hand or on the forehead. Its number is 666. Some see in it the direction of today’s cashless and digital control.
Alois Irlmaier (1894–1959) was a Bavarian well-digger known for astonishing predictions. He described the road to the Third World War in seven stages — from prosperity and apostasy through inflation and revolution to the war that breaks in “overnight.”
Revelation calls 666 the “number of the beast” and “the number of a man” (Revelation 13:18). It stands for the reign of the beast and is closely bound to the mark that decides over buying and selling.
According to the words of Jesus, the days of great tribulation will be shortened, “else no flesh should be saved” (Matthew 24:22). At the end of the prophecy stands not destruction, but a new heaven and a new earth.
