Your interpretation of Jer 50-51 is exactly correct. Rev 6:8 and 18:8 allude to these two chapters and summarize the destruction that is nuclear war. Rev 18:8 is the destruction of Babylon, just like Jer 50-51. The "fourth part of the earth" of Rev 6:8 are the NATO countries, which literally is a quadrant of the Earth, north and west of Jerusalem. WWIII began in 2014, which is the Chinese year of the pale horse, with a coup d'é·tat in the Ukraine. Men will see the destruction of Europe and North America--much of the White race--as a chastisement from God. Sodom will go up in smoke. The Jews rejected Jesus Christ. His apostles converted Europe, but now the Europeans have rejected Him too. God will turn to the Christians in Africa and Latin America to convert China, India and Japan.

The interesting passages are Rev 13:13 and 19:20. Rev 13:13 alludes to Holy Fire in the Holy Sepulcher each Holy Saturday. This helps to identify the figures in verses 1 and 11 of Rev 13 with the Patriarchs of Constantinople and Moscow. These two figures (which represent the countries mentioned in Jer 50-51) are then alive at the Lord’s return in Rev 19:20. When you put everything together, you realize that the NATO countries—the Patriarchate of the West—all meet death, while Russia survives.

This suggests a first strike by Russia and a retaliatory strike by the NATO countries, who seem to think that by putting pressure on Russia they can cause its government to collapse, much as the Soviet government collapsed. Instead, the natural reaction of the Russians is to feel threatened by more and more offensive missiles on their border and methodically to plan out and to execute a nuclear first strike, at the optimal instant, in order to preempt the threat. The Russians have taken nine years so far, but they won’t take forever. Eventually, they will conclude that their best opportunity is to act immediately, and then they will launch.

The rest of the world will remember them for it, however. They will be feared, but they will be unable to lead the world morally. Their crime will haunt them forever. Not much will be left in the NATO countries. Conventional missiles can put nuclear power plants into meltdown. The author of this article is too optimistic about the outcome. Everyone who does not emigrate the First World shortly will die. Cain will slay Abel and bear the mark, east of Eden, while Seth becomes father of all the living. The Lord will baptize the First and Second worlds with fire (in Rev 6:8, 18:8 and 19:20) and the Third World with the Holy Ghost.

A few realize that Rev 2-3 is a synopsis in chronological order of the whole prophecy, but many do not. The Church age of Ephesus ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 135. The Church age of Smyrna ended with the Diocletianic Persecution. The Church age of Pergamos ended in 451 with the First Schism, which legitimated the Christian persecution of the Christian. Now the Church age of Thyatira will shortly come to an end with the fall of Babylon, which is the destruction of a fourth part of the Earth. The Church age of Sardis will end with the Lord’s return and with Armageddon. Many confuse what is happening now with Armageddon, but it is the end of a different age—the age in which it will be the job of the Global South to convert China, India and Japan. When He broke the Fourth Seal in Rev 6:8, the Lord pronounces the same judgment on the Europeans as Mt 10:14-15. Sodom is about to go up in smoke. Atlantis is about to sink beneath the waves.
