Introduction:
* Caution: It's long. You can read a short portion and finish the rest when you can.
I tried to make it as short as possible for y'all to be able to get a clear understanding of the end times and how things will look in the future for those interested.
God's word the Bible gives us a clear heads up what the dark future holds for humanity in its last days.
In this Mytake I'm going to share a two part series, first begining with the tribulation which is 3 and half years of a total 7 years where mankind will be out of control with world wars, dreadful violence, looting and overall societal break down and lawlessness, Christian persecution will be intense, severe world wide famines, pestilences and huge earthquakes devastating all countries and cities all around the world.
Lastly, I will focus on part 2 of the last 3 and half years of God punishing the wicked with 7 devastating plagues on earth.
*Note: God's word tends to repeat itself to parallel and references of passage of scriptures for the sole purpose of giving a different perspective and to get the full picture and understanding.
I will be using the teaching of Christ of Matthew 24 and you compare it to the book of revelation of the 7 seals; put the pieces together like a puzzle to get the full picture and see how it perfectly fits in order.
The Rider Of The White Horse.
In the book of Daniel God gives us detail through his prophet Daniel of a man who is nicknamed and called the "Beast" who will rise out of ancient world kingdoms that were divided.
He will be a muslim political figure and leader of a country pergamos (Turkey) who will rise to great power givin to him by Satan in which he will invade other Middle Eastern and African countries and be successful in victory and plunder, leading other nations to jump into the fight, thus WW3 commences.
Revelation 2:12-13:
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is.
And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Revelation 13:1-2:
Then I stood on the sand of the sea.
And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.
The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
Revelation 6:1-2:
1st Seal:
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”
And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
The Rider Of The Red Horse.
During this time period society all around the world will be so lawless and full of violence and be in complete anarchy.
In other words forget about police, emergency help etc, it will be every gorilla for themselves in utter chaos.
Revelation 6:4:
2nd Seal:
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”
Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
The Rider Of The Black Horse.
Do to the aftermath of nuclear war and all kinds of bio and chemical weapons used and on top of that the huge earthquakes hitting planet earth, farms and food markets will be devastated and food source will be extremely scarce, thus leading to world wide terrible famines.
Revelation 6:4-5:
3rd Seal:
When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.”
So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
*Note: A denarius coin equaled a day's pay wage in ancient days.
The Rider Of The Pale Horse.
Obviously, do to the fact of famines and widespread diseases and chaos, death will be on a extremely high scale earth wide.
Mankind will even be attacked and eaten by the wild breasts of the field as well.
Revelation 6:7-8:
4th Seal:
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.”
So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him.
And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
The Mark Of The Beast.
At the end of all the chaos and disorder, a new world order will rise out of the ashes and everyone must recieve a mark in a form of a chip to function in society as a means to buy and sell.
Christians that obey God's commandments will reject such order and to worship the beast and it's image and will suffer a beheading death as a result.
Revelation 6:9-11:
5th Seal:
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
Revelaion 20:4:
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them.
Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.
And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
The Second Coming Of Christ And The Rapture Of The Saints.
6th Seal:
During the first 3 and a half years there will be one last huge push of the gospel being preached world wide by Christians.
Many during that time will convert to Christ and the wicked will simply continue to sin, be proud of heart, stubborn and be willingly confused and ignorant nor do they desire to understand, but rather instead rebel against the gospel and Christ to the very end.
Daniel 11:32-33:
Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.
And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering.
Daniel 12:10:
Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
After the immense majority of Christians are martyred and the whole tribulation period is over, Christ comes back as a thief in the night and catches the wicked by surprise and to resurrect his saints back to life and take them to heaven and begins to plague the earth with serveral holocausts on the wicked.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18:
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3:
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
Revelation 6:12:17:
I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Now compare the seals of Revelation and see how it perfectly matches to what Christ told his disciples concerning the end of the age.
Matthew 24:3-31:
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be?
And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.
See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.
And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
See, I have told you beforehand.
“Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.
For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now, for those of you wondering how is it that all people inculding athiests, agnostics and all people of different religions will be deceived into taking the mark of the beast, many professing Christians going into apostasy concerning fundamental Christian doctrine, having their Christian relatives to be killed and will fall victims of the deception and lies going on at the time by the Catholic Chruch which will rise to full power once again world wide, is because God himself will cause their minds to be deluded into believing lies and false miracles, to condemn them for rejecting the truth of the gospel and rather embracing lies and enjoying themselves with a sinful lifestyle pleasures.
Luke 21:16-17:
You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death.
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.
The False Prophet.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12:
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
NOTE:
If you desire to understand the Book of Revelation you need know the book repeats the same end times event twice from a different point of view.
It starts in Chapter 6 with the seals and starts over again in Chapter 12.
Also, you will need to study the book of Daniel, Ezekiel and others to gain more of a full picture.
But with the book of Daniel and Revelation is enough.
And also, the symbols in Revelation are givin their meaning within the book itself so you don't need to guess what they mean.
Also, make sure you stay away from water down Satan's Bible like the NIV, ESV, NLT and others corrupt versions.
I suggest you use the one I I use which is the NKJV.
