World War III will begin in June of 2016, according to Pastor Ricardo Salazar, a self-proclaimed "new Nostradamus." He has put together his very own timeline of events from 2015 until the second coming of Christ by 2023.

According to Salazar's prediction, World War 3 will be ignited by closing of border in Europe and around the World by the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016. China will attack Japan in February. An asteroid will strike Earth on May 16, 2016. Shortly after this time, the Yellowstone volcano in U.S. will erupt. This will obliterate a large part of California and America will be heavily weakened. At this point, particularly June 16, 2016, World War III will happen as allies Russia and China attack the seriously paralyzed U.S. On Oct. 25, 2016, Russia and China will win the war against U.S. and its allies. The Chinese Yen will become the new global currency by March of 2017. In late 2018, Russia will attack Israel. The Anti-Christ arrives on Earth by 2020. People will be rescued by the Second Coming of Christ in 2023.

Pastor Salazar is a Peruvian lawyer who now resides in Japan, according to a YouTube video published by Profeais Personales. The "new Nostradamus" is reportedly planning to build the biggest Christian church in the world. Two years ago, he was sent messages from God asking him to be His messenger, the video claims. The messages reportedly came through dreams, visions and audible voices. "We pray oh Lord that this video may awaken many people throughout the world about the judgment you are about to perform on the world," the narrator in the video goes on saying.

There were many doomsday prophets who came before Pastor Salazar. But, as the narrator in the video claims: "Our Lord will be very severe against the pastors and false prophets who have lied to the church and given a false gospel. He will punish these religious leaders who have sought economic gain instead of preaching the gospel." Many of these false prophets will die in the forthcoming disasters and Pastor Salazar was made aware of this, the video upholds.

The fears for a looming World War III was sparked recently by Turkey's downing of the Russian jet. In fact, "World War III" was trending on Twitter in the wake of the incident, NBC News reported. However, tweets from people, seen by the Huffington Post, were comedic in nature rather than actual terrified reactions.

"Most of the reason that World War III is trending is due to people tweeting that World War III is trending," went one tweet. Another read: "At least World War III won't last very long, unless it's directed by Peter Jackson." "Can't believe I've lived to see the day of World War III... And I get to see it trending on Twitter," another tweet said.
