Could an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) bomb be the ‘biggest threat’ to the USA? One author is suggesting that is so:

Have You Heard Of An “EMP”? Here’s Why I Think It’s Our Biggest Threat
November 25, 2023
What is the biggest threat to America….right now? …
I want to tell you about something often not discussed …
It’s called an EMP attack.
What’s an “EMP” anyway?
Good question!
An EMP, or Electromagnetic Pulse, is a powerful burst of energy that can disrupt or damage electronic devices and electrical systems. It’s like a super strong wave of energy that can mess with anything that uses electricity. This includes cell phones, computers, cars, and even the power grid that gives electricity to homes and businesses. …
Most Likely Ways an EMP Could Happen:
High-Altitude Nuclear Detonation: A nuclear bomb detonated high in the atmosphere could create a powerful EMP. This would require intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities.Non-Nuclear EMP Devices: These devices can be designed to target specific areas or systems without the broader destruction caused by nuclear weapons. However, their effective range and power are generally less than a nuclear EMP.Cyber-Physical Attacks: A coordinated cyber-attack on power grids and electronic systems could mimic some effects of an EMP, though technically different.Solar Storms: A severe solar storm hitting the Earth could create natural EMP effects, disrupting electrical systems and communications.
The Fallout From an EMP:
Power Outage: EMPs can knock out electricity everywhere, like turning off a big light switch for a whole city or even a country.No Internet or Phones: Imagine not being able to call, text, or use the internet. That’s what happens with an EMP.Water Supply Issues: Without power, getting clean water to homes and buildings becomes really hard.Food Shortage: Stores need electricity to keep food fresh. Without it, a lot of food can go bad quickly.No Heating or Air Conditioning: Houses and buildings would lose heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.Hospitals Struggle: Hospitals rely on power for life-saving equipment. An EMP could put many lives at risk.Transportation Problems: Cars, buses, and trains might not work, making it tough to get around.Banking and Money Problems: ATMs and credit card machines need power, so buying things could become really difficult.Emergency Services Disrupted: Police, fire, and ambulance services could be severely affected.Danger to Airplanes: Planes flying when an EMP hits could have serious trouble.Schools Closing: With no power, schools might have to close.No Radio or TV: News and entertainment through radio and TV would be cut off.Damage to Electronics: An EMP can break things like computers, TVs, and even some toys.Industrial Shutdowns: Factories and other big workplaces would have to stop work.Fuel Shortages: Gas stations need power to pump gas, so cars might run out of fuel.Increased Crime: Without alarms or streetlights, there might be more thefts and other crimes. …
Life In America Following an EMP Attack: …
In the immediate aftermath, there would be widespread panic and confusion. The EMP, having disabled all electronics, would leave individuals without means of communication; cell phones, internet, and radio would be rendered useless.Transportation systems would grind to a halt. Modern vehicles with electronic components would fail, leading to widespread traffic jams and stranded individuals.Emergency services would be severely hampered, struggling to respond to incidents without their usual communication and transportation infrastructure.There would be a run on stores for essential supplies as people quickly realize the severity of the situation. This could lead to shortages and even looting in some areas. …Food shortages could become a serious issue. Without modern transportation and preservation methods, communities would have to rely on locally sourced food, leading to a rise in gardening and small-scale farming. …Over time, there might be efforts to rebuild some form of electrical infrastructure, but this would be a slow and difficult process given the extent of the damage caused by the EMP. https://100percentfedup.com/have-you-heard-of-an-emp-heres-why-i-think-its-our-biggest-threat/

Actually, if the USA was hit with a devastating EMP bomb, it likely would not actually recover.

Places that have repeatedly threatened the USA, such as Iran, look to have the capability to do that.

As far as Iran and the USA go, notice the following from a couple of years ago:

Iran Could Soon Strike US With EMP Weapon
June 2, 2021
Does Iran already have nuclear weapons and the capability to make an electromagnetic pulse attack that would destroy electric grids and critical infrastructures sustaining the lives of 330 million Americans?
Not everyone agrees with Washington’s intelligence community “consensus” that Iran does not yet have nuclear missiles. https://www.newsmax.com/platinum/iran-us-emp-nuclear/2021/06/02/id/1023561/
U.S. military warns electromagnetic pulse weapons in Iran, Russia and North Korea could melt down nuclear power plants, shut down the electricity grid for 18 months and WIPE OUT millions of Americans
An Air Force report reveals the U.S. is utterly unprepared for an electromagnetic pulse weapon attack Iran, North Korea, Russia, and U.S. all have developed EMP weapons that fire invisible microwaves and electromagnetic pulses that shut down electricityThe report warns that an attack could shut down the electricity grid for 18 months, would melt down nuclear plants, and displace 4.1million peopleIt would also kill 90 per cent of the East Coast within a yearNo electricity would affect transportation, food distribution, and healthcare 12/01/18 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6449619/Air-Force-warns-electromagnetic-pulse-weapons-Iran-Russia-North-Korea-destroy-America.html?fbclid=IwAR20sUtYtx7dPe09X-rbxJtAbEqC35-peYUBLi74Y6E_PmcU1f17vYl-7Fg

Notice that some power issues could happen with a cyberattack, which would be harder for the USA to know how to respond:

American Power Grid ‘Vulnerable’ To Chinese Cyberattacks, Navarro Warns
May 4, 2020
But for conservatives, who have been looking at China with a wary eye since the outbreak began, this latest ‘escalation’ is hardly a surprise. And when it comes to rebutting China’s aggression to an audience of mostly Trump supporters, nobody in the West Wing is as practiced as Pete Navarro. Which is probably why he was called to deliver a warning about the newest “threat” from China, a threat that could potentially be even more crippling to the US economy than the virus.
That threat? The vulnerability of the US power grid.
“I think that what’s important for the American people to understand very clearly is that “China lied, people died”. China spawned the virus and they hid the virus for 6 weeks, which allowed the virus to escape Wuhan and infect the rest of the world. And they spent that time going around the world, vacuuming up masks.”
Navarro explained how President Trump’s latest executive order protects America’s power grid by forcing the federal government to buy and use components made only in the US (the federal government administers roughly 20% of the US power grid). Under current rules, companies subject to the influence of foreign adversaries are still allowed to compete for government contracts to supply these components, Navarro argued in a Fox op-ed published shortly before his appearance.
Right now, Navarro said his primary responsibility in the administration is overseeing the reorientation of American supply chains away from China (though this will ultimately be decided by individual corporations, the White House can certainly take steps to sway their decisions, not that the crisis hasn’t been instructive enough on its own). He argued that this latest EO, along with another EO that will require federal agencies to use all-American components for medicines, are the first steps of the “decoupling” of the US economy away from China’s – something that, polls show, Americans mostly support.
Without these orders, Navarro said, China poses a direct threat to the US power grid so long as components made in China and other foreign markets are used. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/american-power-grid-vulnerable-chinese-cyberattacks-navarro-warns

China and Iran are believed to have EMP capability to impact the power grid of the USA.

Currently, Iran is debating taking steps against the USA for its support of Israel against Hamas.

Yes, the Iranians may well attempt to use one or more EMP bombs against the USA (as well as Israel).

Let me also add that solar flares with related sunspots also have destructive EMP potential.

Now, consider the following:

Totally Insane Things That Will Happen If Our Power Grid Goes Down
If our society suffered a widespread power failure that lasted for weeks or months, it would be no different for us than if we were suddenly sent back to the 1800’s. It would be a strange and dangerous world, and for the average person, it would catch them off guard in the following ways:
1. All commerce will cease. The ATMs won’t work, the banks won’t open, and the cash registers won’t…well, register. For a while cash will be king, but if the crisis goes on for more than a few weeks, then people will view it as worthless. We’d be back to a barter economy in short order.
2. Communications will shut down. If you think you can rely on your cell phone to work in a disaster, think again. In a crisis, when everyone instinctively reaches for their phone, that limit is quickly surpassed and the radios on the tower get sluggish, thus causing the fast-busy signal. …
3. Without electricity, all forms of fuel that our society relies on will stop flowing. All of our vehicles will be dead in the water, and more importantly, the trucks will stop delivering food. …
4. And of course many of those farms will lack water, as will your plumbing. For a couple of days after the power goes out, you’ll still have running water since water towers rely on gravity to feed the water to your home. However, electricity is required to clean that water and pump it into the tower. Once it’s out, that means that you won’t be able to flush your toilet. …
5. When the grocery stores are stripped bare, the pharmacies won’t be far behind. …
6. And finally, one of the most shocking things that people will have to deal with, is the lack of GPS. The GPS satellites will probably keep running, but eventually the devices that read those signals will give up the ghost. These days people are pretty reliant on GPS for directions, and there aren’t as many paper maps lying around. The average person is going to be utterly lost if the grid goes down.
In summary, law and order will break down at every level, and death will be around every corner. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-28/6-totally-insane-things-will-happen-if-our-power-grid-goes-down

The USA is vulnerable to electromagnetic issues, either from natural causes or man-made ones.

A power grid failure, including one caused by an EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) weapon, could be a factor in the troubles that hit prior to the start of the Great Tribulation.

The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

17:43

Electrical End of the USA ?
Could problems with the electrical power grid caused by one or more electro-magnetic pulse bombs, solar flares, and/or other phenomena help weaken the USA to the point of allowing it to be taken over? Does such potential exist? If so, is this consistent with any biblical prophecies? What are some of the severe consequences that the USA would face in the event of an electrical power grid failure? Is there evidence in scripture that the USA will be taken over in the 21st century?

Here is a link to our video: Electrical End of the USA?

The USA faces a massive threat from many things that could knock-out its electrical power grid. The USA itself has been developing its own cyber-warfare and EMP technologies, which, of course, also encourages other nations to do so. Plus, the USA is likely to share that technology with Europe.

Jesus taught of a time of “troubles” that would come in Mark 13:

7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:7-8)

While most in the USA act like it will go on indefinitely and cannot truly be brought down, the reality is that electrical, weather, pestilence, and other events can devastate the USA.

Consider that in the end times, the Bible tells of a King of the North (Daniel 11:29-45), King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43), and the Kings of the East (Revelation 16:12-16), but no King of the West?

Instead it tells of a time when the power with the strongest fortresses gets taken over by the King of the North (the “he” in the following scriptures):

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)
25 “Through his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;
And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity. (Daniel 8:25)

This will cause the world to marvel (Revelation 13:3-4).

It is likely that the USA will have to be in a weakened state to be taken over. And while deceit will be a factor (Daniel 8:25; Lamentations 1:1-2), the fact is that the USA will be hit with troubles and sorrows, beforehand (Matthew 24:4-8) that will weaken it.

Notice the following from our free online book, Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?:

The Bible warns that God will “hurl disasters” against some descended from Israel (Deuteronomy 32:23, NJB) who “provoke” God (Deuteronomy 32:21-22, NKJV). Disasters, especially if there is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack, a severe solar flare storm, devastating hurricane (s) something like a massive volcanic eruption and/or massive earthquake could be part of a so-called “perfect storm” of events that could set up the U.S.A. for destruction. …
It looks like Germany’s FAIR, along with the LHC and other technology like the stellarator, will help the Europeans produce military weaponry to fulfill certain end-time prophecies. Since Revelation 13:4 is discussing what seems to be a unique type of warfare, this warfare likely includes certain high-tech weapons (such as electromagnetic pulse, neutron bombs, unique delivery systems, etc.) that will be effective for a while.

The USA is highly dependent upon electricity and its power grid is at risk. As far as Europe attacking the USA, the Bible points to the “friends” of the USA becoming enemies (cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).

That said, according to various reports, an EMP attack could happen tomorrow–though I do NOT expect one from Europe for at least 3 1/2 years. But Iran or others could do something soon.

Are you ready spiritually to deal with what can happen in the USA? Even if you do not live in the USA, consider how its devastation could affect you and the country you are currently living in.
