Nuclear winter is predicted to be the outcome of a nuclear war. According to Debora Mac Kenzie of Newscientist.com, a nuclear winter may kill more than the fatalities of the war itself (deboramackenzie, 2007).
It is predicted a long time ago in the Bible. It is never understood throughout the ages, until now-where it is meant to be understood (Daniel 12:8-9). What are the horrible effects of nuclear war? Can it really turn sun into black and moon into blood? Can it fall stars like unripe figs when shaken by a high wind? Can it move mountains and islands from another place that could force the kings of the earth to hide in the caves?
What Revelation 6:12-15 (NIV) Says
“I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.”
The Great Earthquake
Heraldmag.org in its article Biblical Earthquakes: What Do They Mean? by Adam Kopczyk, said that Seismos is the Greek word for earthquake, which is commonly found throughout the New Testament (adamkopczyk, 2006).
In Strong's Greek Dictionary (#4578) it means “a commotion (of the air) a gale; (of the ground) an earthquake.” On some instances, the word earthquake in the New Testament scriptures also used to describe great calamities such as cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes and tempest.
“And, behold there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.” Matthew 8:24 (KJV)
The word “seismic” also means shock. The Geological Survey of Canada analyzes seismic activities by studying the earth's interior through examination of shock waves that have traveled through the subsurface. These shock waves can be either natural or artificial (naturalresourcescanada).
Now just pretend that you are Apostle John who has no idea about the modern era we are living in. Then watch this video carefully:

Is there any calamity or “seismos” that could be greater than the one you've seen? How can you describe this if it occurs as a vision? Surely, a man who has no idea of a nuclear armament could be mistaken this as a force of nature.
Sun Turned Black
Sciencedaily.com has posted on its news that a team of scientists found out that even a small-scale, regional nuclear war could produce too many fatalities that could surpass deaths from World War II. This devastation as they have concluded will lead to a climate phenomenon known as nuclear winter (sciencedaily, 2006).
A nuclear war could produce enough fires to burn anything within its blast zone creating huge billows of smoke that will accumulate in the stratosphere. Carl Sagan said these massive fires will reduce the amount of sunlight, too dark for plants to make a living from photosynthesis. Temperature will drop, creating a premature winter. Skies will be darkened, so thick it could cover the sun even in daylight-a darkness that could produce the eerie black of death and famine due to the sudden change of temperature. Crops will not yield and will eventually die out (carlsagan).
Moon Became Blood
After the blast and shockwave, a mushroom cloud will burn all combustible materials within its radius creating mega wildfires. These would produce ashes and oily smokes that contains mix of smoke particles, some smaller than 1 micron turning the moon red. In San Jose, California, many have witnessed this typical occurrence in a forest fire (sanjosefire, 2008):
The moon, of course, will also be covered by thick clouds of smoke and haze but on the other part of the earth where it may be possible-it could be seen as bloody red.
Stars Falling from Sky
From the experience of US soldiers who participated in the Operation Desert Storm, an article entitled “Remembering the Whirlwind War” by Heike Hasenauer published from Soldiers, the official US Army Magazine on its February 2001 issue, page 29-30; Major Martin Poffenberger recounted that: “When we realized that Patriot missiles were hitting the Scuds that Saddam launched against Riyadh, we felt comfortable going up the rooftops and watching the light show, it was like watching SHOOTING STARS” (hasenauer, 2001)
