Well, although He created us and He's omniscient, apparently we can't expect Him to know that we're not going to behave the way He would like. Or maybe He just got bored of us and wants to redecorate the planet.
And when God decides to wipe out almost the entire human race, a worldwide flood is traditional, but unfortunately He tied his own hands by promising not to do that again after the last time. So, nukes it is.
Well, maybe he was having a few pints with Odin and Thor in Valhalla, and thought that a great battle and the destruction of the world in fire and ice was a better way to do it.
Personally, I find that prophecies are blessedly useless - "at some date, something dire will happen" appears to be as specific as they get. If the omniscient diety really wants to warn us then he should be as specific as possible "At 0032 hours - on 27 Jul 2012 elements of the 32nd Fantasian Division will land on the island of Atlantis to begin WWIII. Fantasian 3rd Army will follow on in support." Apparently, the big guy either has bad intel, or really needs to take a few classes in effective communications.
