England is going to have a nuclear warning test April 22:for the whole country.

That is good, for it will have people think about what they are going to do.      We no longer have any civil defense set up for citizens here in the USA.

We had one of those accidental alerts in Hawaii last year and it just pointed out that at least over here, there really isn't any place to go to shelter.   I don't know if England has any shelters designed for safety from a nuclear war kind of thing.

No the only people that could possibly find shelter are the very rich and the top politician's. The test warning is about as much use as a chocolate teapot ... it will tell you what and where a disaster is brewing but since there is almost nothing anyone can do it is rather pointless and even those with mobile phones are able to switch off the alerts    This is a test but I have a feeling it is more to do with control that safety 

[ladypeartree]

Oh and it is not just England but Wales Scotland and northern Ireland as well involved in this test

I hope it gets people's attention and lets them understand that we do not want to push things into a nuclear conflict with anyone.

We have a good cellar for protection from tornadoes, but we live in an area where their are three first strike targets in a 40 mile ring around us.  We can go underground,  but the radiation above ground will get us in the end.  Storm cellars are not equipped to stay in for long periods of time.

If the ICBMs fly, its hello Lord.

Best to be killed by the blasts and initial waves…unless the Lord has different plans.

It says the elements will burn with fervent heat.  I definitely think it might. The world is preparing for it now.  England is going to have a nuclear warning test April 22:for the whole country. It's getting close brothers and sisters. 2 peter is a warning. 

The upcoming “day of judgment and of destruction” is compared with the destruction of “the world” of Noah’s time (2 Peter 3:5-6). At the Flood, the “world” that was destroyed involved the wicked ones, as the planet survived; again, it was “the ungodly people”—God’s enemies—who “suffered destruction.” During God’s upcoming “day of judgment,” (2 Peter 3:7) those who choose to be God’s enemies will likewise be destroyed. But God’s friends will be preserved, as were Noah and his family.

Judgment will be at a time of God's own choosing; it won't accidentally happen as if someone  inadvertently pushed a nuclear button.

Those who love and trust the Lord Jesus will be preserved because they rest in His perfect work at the Cross ('It is finished' - John 19.30).

A nuclear exchange does not necessarily mean God’s judgement as most see via eschatology. There have been many devestating wars in history. We have just gotten better at killing and breaking things.

2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. [emphasis mine]

Not that I am correct, but I have different thoughts. There are three heavens; our atmosphere is the first heaven, outer space, the cosmos is the second heaven, and the third heaven is where the throne of God resides. The earth is written singular, and the heavens plural.

Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [emphasis again mine]

The whole creation would include not only our planet but also the universe. How did the universe become contaminated by sin from one man on earth? Do Satan and his minions still have access to God's third heaven and throne?

Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

It speaks to the planet and atmosphere we are confined and restricted to, not what is outside our world. It seems Satan, his minions, and sin have contaminated the entire creation, including the universe.  

Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: [emphasis added]

We do not know the nearness of the heavenly bodies before God stretched them significantly out. They may return to their original positions before the Lord stretched them vastly out.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [heavens plural]

Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

When stretched out, a scroll rewinds in on itself when released. If we are talking about the universe, it collapses, and what happens to matter? The entire universe melts by fervent heat, and all evidence of sin is burned up and destroyed. Then a new creation is made.

Could my thoughts be plausible?

God's people are killed every day. But I do know he can save if it's his will.
