While researching prophecies on the coming world wars, I encountered an opinion which I cannot refute, but cannot confirm. It is fairly clear that President George Albert Smith, shortly after becoming President of the Church, and shortly after the end of World War II, received a vision which disturbed him. This vision spoke of a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. There are several aspects of the vision which have come true, and others which have not yet happened. The question which was posed is this:
If someone is given a vision, someone who is in a position to do something about it, can they stop the vision from coming true?
This particular vision was never made officially public. There are multiple witnesses to its source being George Albert Smith. Is it possible that the actions of President Smith has prevented this particular war? Or merely delayed it? The actions he took were to send Elder Ezra Taft Benson to Europe to provide aid and relief to war torn Europe. Was this done because of the vision? If not, why did Pres. Smith never record the vision for the public to see? I know that viewing the future is difficult and can change.
While studying the publicly recorded prophecies, I have come to see that wars are of two types. First, those that improve the conditions for the spreading of the Gospel, and second, wars of destruction. I cannot understand how a nuclear war could possibly improve conditions for spreading the Gospel. Nuclear war is so destructive, how can it be anything but a war of complete destruction? World War II was ended by the use of two nuclear bombs. Now, sixty years later, the site of those bombings has large modern cities. But there is a big difference between a war ended by two nuclear bombs and a war started by the launching of nuclear bombs.
What do you know? What prophecies are there to support whether or not World War III will be a nuclear war? WWIII will clearly involve Russia attacking and invading the United States.
