For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matt 24:21
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Rev 6:3, 4
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Rev 6:7, 8
We are fast approaching the time of the end, the time of Great Tribulation. God has determined to pour out of His terrible judgments upon this wicked generation. Soon there will be a great war, using nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction.
There is a demonic madness that is sweeping over this world. It is seen in the wanton cruelties of the youth and in the religious madness of the Muslims. If a Muslim will gladly die in a car bomb, he will just as willingly die in a suitcase sized nuclear blast. And if an individual in hatred will throw away his life for his god, then a nation will be as willing to suffer annihilation in that same madness for that same god.
Russia's economy will not survive much longer. Then there will appear a dictator to take the reins of government. The prophet Ezekiel prophesied about 2500 years ago that in these last days Russia would join in alliance with Iran and the Arab nations to war against Israel. That alliance is already formed. All that is needed is a Russian ruler who will make it happen. That dictator is waiting for the collapse of the Russian democracy.
Israel now has its back against the wall. All of the nations of the world, including the Vatican, except the USA have sided with Arafat against Israel. Israel will defend itself with nuclear weapons. It has no choice.
The United States is not found in the prophecies concerned with the last days. Obviously, Russia would never attack Israel unless the US is first destroyed. In a first strike Russia can reduce the US to a primitive land. Roughly 150 million Americans will die in the first 24 hours. The infrastructure of this nation will cease to exist. Millions of those that survive the nuclear strike will succumb to radiation sickness. In essence, the United States of America will cease to exist.
The whole world will degenerate into a kind of genocidal madness. The streets of cities and towns all over the world will be littered with unburied bodies. As man pours out his wrath upon man, one fourth of the population of the world will die from war, disease, and starvation. It will be a time of unprecedented human fury.
Then there will be a period of time when Satan will pour out of his wrath upon man. There will be a period of about three years in which demons will afflict man with horrible diseases and terrible natural catastrophes. Christians will suffer martyrdom from the anti-Christian powers that rule the world. Another quarter of the population will die during this time.
Then the Bible tells us that God will pour out His wrath upon this earth without mixture of mercy. Thus, at this time the remaining Christians will be taken out of the earth in what is called the Rapture of the Saints. This terrible time will culminate in the Battle of Armageddon. This will be a time of such destructive power that all of the people in the world who have elected to serve the Antichrist and Satan will be killed. Probably only about one tenth of the original population will survive.
This day is fast approaching. The Biblical signs imply that it could begin to happen very soon. Then the world enters into that time of unprecedented horror. Only the true saints of Jesus Christ will escape the horror and the damnation by means of The Rapture of the Saints and this way of escape is open to everyone.
