SAFDennis Wright wrote a book with an amazing story-line.  A 12 minute war could happen and be our 3rd world war  with the weapons of today.  Dennis A. Wright has written books and papers on a number of subjects including physics, theology and cryptozoology his work on the structure of spacetime implies the possibility of time travel. Dennis was inspired to study physics due to his own precognitive and premonitory experiences, which also led him to investigate prophecy and psychic phenomena. Dennis was born in Melbourne and grew up in rural Victoria he returned to Melbourne to complete his education and begin a career. 

On 1 October 2024, Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, in at least two waves, then the largest attack during the ongoing Iran–Israel conflict. Iran's codename for the attack was Operation True Promise II . It was the second direct attack by Iran against Israel, the first being the April 2024 strikes.  Reports on the October 2024 Iranian strikes on Israel describe a missile attack launched by Iran on October 1, 2024, . According to Wikipedia, Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel in at least two waves, reportedly in response to Israel's assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan. While many of the missiles were reportedly intercepted, some did hit their targets. 

Then, on the evening of April 13, 2024, Iran launched a large-scale attack on Israel, using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and unmanned drones. This attack was in retaliation for a previous Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. While Iran stated the attack targeted military sites, including an airbase used in the consulate strike, Israel reported that 99% of the incoming projectiles were intercepted. The attack resulted in some damage and injuries, with one Israeli civilian sustaining a severe injury.

Ballistic missiles are guided rockets that deliver warheads over long distances, primarily using projectile motion to reach their targets. They are propelled by rockets for an initial period, then follow a ballistic trajectory, essentially falling under gravity's influence, before re-entering the atmosphere and impacting the target.   A ballistic missile is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. These weapons are powered only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered. Short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) typically stay within the Earth's atmosphere, while most larger missiles travel outside the atmosphere. The type of ballistic missile with the greatest range is an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The largest ICBMs are capable of full orbital flight.                                  

Their ability to maneuver allows them to change course, fly around obstacles and evade missile defences. While ballistic missiles from Iran can reach Israel in about 12 minutes, cruise missiles may take almost two hours, and drones can take up to nine hours.  Could the Vilna Gaon have forseen ballistic missiles hitting Israel in 12 minutes with an atomic warhead? Did he see Israel's reprisal that with the tools they have invented, only one person was injured in the last wave?  

Iran has so far fired nearly 400 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones towards Israel, with about 35 missiles penetrating Israel's defensive shield, Israeli officials say.

  Hypersonic cruise missiles typically travel at speeds of Mach 5 and above, meaning at least five times the speed of sound, which is { At 20 °C, the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, or 1 km in 2.92 s or one mile in 4.69 s.} 

They can range in distance from a few hundred kilometers to several thousand, depending on the specific missile and its intended target. Some hypersonic missiles are designed for regional conflicts with ranges around a few thousand kilometers, while others, like those envisioned for intercontinental strikes, would have much greater ranges. 

In the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia was seen to have fielded operational weapons and used them for combat. The Kremlin presents new hypersonic weapons as supposedly capable of overcoming "any" foreign missile defense systems, with the "pre-nuclear deterrence" concept contained in its 2014 iteration of the official Russian Military Doctrine. A volley of Russian hypersonic missiles were launched at Kyiv in January 2023.

Today we understand that with hypersonic missiles and nuclear weapons; global thermo-nuclear war could be waged in minutes leaving millions dead before they even knew that a war had commenced. 

This story examines exactly how this scenario could play out and is observed through the eyes of a team of observers based in Australia, in an area away from the most likely targets of an attack.

Over three hundred years ago a mystical Rabbi was talked about and Dennis Wright heard the conversation.  The rabbi had  predicted three world wars.  It is more commonly attributed to the Vilna Gaon (Elijah Ben Solomon Zalman 1720-1797 Talmudist born in Lithuania) , a prominent 18th-century rabbi. His statement reportedly suggests that "the war of Gog and Magog will last 12 minutes. A third of the world will die, a third will suffer from plague and a third will survive". Many interpret this to refer to a nuclear conflict. The names are mentioned together in Ezekiel chapter 38, where Gog is an individual and Magog is his land. By the time of the New Testament's Revelation 20 (Revelation 20:8), Jewish tradition had come to view Ezekiel's "Gog from Magog" as "Gog and Magog".

The Gog prophecy is meant to be fulfilled at the approach of what is called the "end of days", but not necessarily the end of the world. 

Jewish eschatology viewed Gog and Magog as enemies to be defeated by the Messiah, which would usher in the age of the Messiah. 

One view within Christianity is more starkly apocalyptic, making Gog and Magog allies of Satan against God at the end of the millennium, as described in the Book of Revelation. 

 We have now seen two of them, but it is the third war that caused the most controversy. The Rabbi claimed, the third world war would last only twelve minutes, at the time people said that was impossible. People could not accept the possibility claiming that you could not possibly assemble an army and defend your land or attack an enemy in only twelve minutes.

Today we understand that with hypersonic missiles and nuclear weapons; global thermo-nuclear war could be waged in minutes leaving millions dead before they even knew that a war had commenced.
