Summary Version of An Earlier Poem

The earlier opus (two poems ago) was about Bible prophecies  
about Nuclear War (Russian Attack to be specific).  
"The title was, How Do I Get Nuclear War..From Bible Prophecy?"  
There's 4 steps to reach that conclusion:  
(1)the Rapture occurs as "SUDDEN DESTRUCTION" takes place(1 Thess 4.16-5.3).  
There is a cause and effect relationship here:  
the sudden destruction causes mass deaths,  
at which point souls,as always, eject from bodies,  
The saved souls "meet Christ in the air"(1 Thess 4.17)  
 
(2)Just what is that "sudden destruction"?  
It is the work of the Antichrist, for "that day [of the Rapture]  
can not come except ...that Man of Sin be revealed as the Destroyer"(2 Thess 2.3),  
Presumably by the mass destruction that he launches.  
But that still doesn't tell us what it is.  
 
(3)Why does the Destroyer ("Son of Destruction") launch it?  
What does he gain from this "sudden destruction"?  
We read that he, "the Beast," will "make war against [Christian lands],  
And conquer them, [thereby gaining] power over every ..nation"(Rev 13.7).  
So this "sudden destruction" must be the military attack by which  
"The Beast" gains power over the whole world.  
 
(4)Why is Russia the nation that takes over the world?  
Because Russia is right next to Western Europe.  
"The Beast" that "makes war.."(Rev 13.7) has "10 horns"(Rev 13.1).  
This figure originates in Daniel 7.7 (as the fourth Beast).
There it refers to the Roman empire(Dan 7.17)  
which covered the mainland of Western Europe.  
So Western Europe is the scene of the action(Rev 13.7).  
 
While the Roman empire(Dan 7.7) was marked by one-man-rule(Caesar),  
This is followed by ten kings("10 horns") ruling simultaneously (Dan 7.8),  
Clearly an indication that post-Roman-empire Europe is meant.  
Finally, "another horn comes up among the ten horns"(Dan 7.8),  
With great force/violence for it "uproots 3 horns" as it enters in.  
The invading/conquering king replaces rule by ten kings with what?  
One-man-rule - his own reign over the ten nations(plus others)  
 
Because it is a return of the one-man-rule that existed during "the Beast"/Roman  empire,  
This conquest of Europe is called the return of the Beast(Roman empire)(Rev 17.8,11).  
LSS: Dan 7.8 = Russia invading/conquering Europe,  
as explained in the parallel passage -  Revelation 13.7.  
Only Russia would fit Dan 7.8, by being close enuff, predatory enuff.
