Armageddon? Part One Of Two

“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!
Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.” -Revelation 6:8

Our relatively recent species is in a race to determine which event will cause its mass extinction as described in this commentator’s five-starred novel of 2018, Retribution Fever. It appears that there are the following, two, principal contenders:

1) Nuclear war.
“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking; and we, thus, drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.” -Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

2) Plague likely viral.
“The single biggest threat to man’s continued dominance on the planet is the virus.” -Joshua Lederberg, PhD (1925-2008)
