The threat of nuclear war has never been more imminent than in the last few weeks.

North Korea has been issuing threats to the United States and earlier this week a propaganda video surfaced online giving us a look into the Asian country's intentions to drop the destructive bomb.

Though we can't exactly predict when World War III might take place, we can only hope that it doesn't actually happen for the sake of humanity.

However, there is one man who is claiming to know the exact date when the dreaded attack will occur.

A self-proclaimed 'mystic' and 'supernatural being' named Horacio Villegas is convinced he knows when the nuclear war will happen after he experienced some premonitions.

Villegas, who resides in Texas, told Daily Star he "saw balls of fire falling from the sky and hitting the Earth. People everywhere were running around trying to hide from this destruction."

He said the war will start on the "100th anniversary of the visitation of the Virgin Mary which is May 13, 2017.

Despite issuing a very specific date, Villegas said that it doesn't necessarily mean the nuclear attack will take place on that same day.

"The main message that people need to know in order be prepared is that between May 13th and October 13, 2017, this war will occur and be over with much devastation, shock and death." he said.

He also added that there will be a series of "false flags" leading up to the main event between April 13th and May 13.

In case you're feeling doubtful about this information, Villegas wants people to know that back in 2015 he predicted Trump's presidential win and the rise of an "illuminati king" who will "bring the world into WW3" so clearly he must be onto something.
