Christian numerologist David Meade, who famously predicted the Nibiru Cataclysm, has said politicians in the West are goading other leaders to the point where he predicts nuclear war will break out.
Following accusations of attempting to assassinate ex-double agent Sergei Skripal levelled against Russia, which the eastern powerhouse has adamantly denied, Mr Meade believes the brink of WW3 is approaching.
The conspiracy theorist also says President Trump is antagonising world leaders with his attempt to restore the US to the top of the industrial food chain.
In an article on Planet X News, Mr Meade writes: “The military-industrial-complex Eisenhower warned us about needs enemies. With an enemy, you naturally need a conflict. How else can you justify a huge budget?
“I believe Russia understands this only to a limited degree. It is the reason we are headed to World War III in 2018. Washington is driving the world to nuclear war.
“Everyone in the current administration is threatening Russia, this includes Mattis, Tillerson (until he was fired) and even our UN ambassador, Ms. Haley. The UK is also joining in this rhetoric.
“It is impossible for the British to engage in war with Russia. They would be destroyed in a matter of hours.
“Why does the UK government constantly threaten Russia? It is pure madness.
“The politicians of the US and Britain are driving the world to nuclear war. The Western world has gone insane.”
The serial apocalypse predictor concludes his article by claiming: “The world is marching toward extinction.”
Mr Meade has previously claimed World War 3 will start in 2018.
He said North Korea will commence World War 3 later this year and the fabled Planet X – a mythical planet that is allegedly heading towards our solar system and will knock Earth off its axis and cause widespread destruction – will appear.
Mr Meade said: “Halfway through the Tribulation the Antichrist declares himself in the rebuilt Hebrew temple in Jerusalem. There’s major trouble from that point forward.
Everything escalates a hundredfold.
“The Antichrist’s time is brief (a full 3.5 years) but he wrecks havoc on the earth in that time. He creates nuclear wars and as a result there is famine and pestilence.”
Planet X, otherwise known as Wormwood or Nibiru, is an alleged planetary object supposedly heading towards our solar system and will cause the apocalypse on Earth which will wipe out most of the population.
US space agency NASA has denied Nibiru’s existence and dismissed the claims as an online hoax.
David Morrison, an astronomer at the space agency, said: “There is no such planet, there never has been, [and] presumably there never will be.”
