As early as Aug 26 2013, Syrian officials had been making talks associating the recent Syria crisis to a possible World War 3.

"We have strategic weapons and we can retaliate. Essentially, the strategic weapons are aimed at Israel. If the US or Israel err through aggression and exploit the chemical issue, the region will go up in endless flames, affecting not only the area's security, but the world's," Halef al- Muftah, a member of the Syrian Ba'ath national council said during an interview with the local radio station Sawa.

Prior to the interview, another top Syrian official said that if U.S. continues with its planned military strike, a World War 3 might come about and this will put the whole world in chaos and darkness.

In an interview with the AFP, Deputy Foreign Faisal Mugdad said:

"The Syrian government will not change position even if there is World War III. No Syrian can sacrifice the independence of his country."

Even with this early hints or claims of Syrian officials of World War 3, apparently, the Syria World War 3 had long been revealed from prophecies from the Bible, Psychic and Fatima's Third Message.

  • Isaiah 17:1-4

"Behold. Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down, with no one to make them afraid. The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Isarelites."

  • Psychic Edgar Cayce

"There will be a potential Third World war in Libya, and in Egypt, in Ankara, and in Syria; through the straits around those areas above Australia in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf."

Edgar Cayce is an American psychic who had been popular for his visions about wars and world endings.

  • Fatima's Third Secret as published by Alamongordo.com

"The Third World War, and also the Ball of Redemption. These can no longer be delayed, for the good seem to go about their way, perhaps pridefully. We do not seek to accuse or place a stigma on any, but some may pridefully sit back and let others go forth and make these sacrifices and prayers and penance because they have become smug, or because they have not the grace to understand that once you receive this grace much is expected of you. You must even work harder to save your brothers and sisters, pleace Children, Remember that Syria Holds The Key To Peace !"

"Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Syria holds the key to peace at that time. However, I place in front of you, My children, a graphic picture for you to understand. It will be a parable for some, and some will turn away not willing to hear what Heaven has to say in these desperate times."

According to accounts, the three secrets of Fatima were given to through an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three young Portuguese namely Lucia Santos, Jacinta and Francisco Marto on May 13, 1917.
