Revalations: My take.
Well, for those of you that actually ever visit, I decided (While still half-asleep) to post on one of my favorite subjects. The End of Days. And, no, not the Schwarzenegger film, either. From what I’ve read/what I understand as a given, there are obviously too many ways to interpret this. Don’t take anything I say as absolute truth, though. Instead, dig out your Bible, brush off all the dust and cobwebs, and READ IT.
Well, I’ll start with some warning signs of the coming tribulation. Most of you will have heard of LaHaye and Jenkins books, Left Behind and Left Behind: Kids Edition. I’ve read these, but being fiction works, even with scripture, I do not count these among actual texts to study under the influence that it is 100% true. If we don’t have a pre-trib rapture, the I’ll die of a heart attack if the Anti-Christ is actually named Nicolae.
Warning signs…Well, some of us know of the Jews being scattered, right? Once again, those old dusty Bibles tell us that. One of the biggest warning signs of Tribulation and Second Coming include the return of Jews to Israel. Others include the seven year agreement between Israel and it’s enemies (which, coincidentally, will be the start of the seven years of tribulation…), along with the actual rise to power of the antichrist. Now, the first seal will not actually be broken by the lamb (Jesus Christ) until the signing of the actual agreement (possibly in treaty form…) is made. Among these, other warning signs must be made, but we won’t get into this at the present time.
WOW. what a long post…
Next, the Anti-Christ. A topic much debated. I believe that the antichrist will come forth and conquer, though NOT with weaponry. He will come claiming to bring Peace, but he will cause War. He will succeed, though, and so will his proposal of one world government (another warning sign: One world currency, religion, and government.) which will be granted him. Then he will want all religions are to merge into one, and all religions will, except two. Christianity and Judaism. His roots will trace back to Rome, and he will become a great ‘friend’ to Israel. He will also rebuild Solomons temple in the exact spot it was originally built.
As soon as the treaty is signed, God’s two witnesses will appear and testify for three and a half years.
The Seven Seal judgements are the first talked about by John in the book of Revelations. The first four will be the four horsemen of apocalypse. Seal one will be the Antichrist, who will usher in eighteen months of peace. The second is War, the third is Famine, and the fourth is Death, followed by Hades, who will have permission to kill one fourth of the worlds population. Ouch. Well, the war will be against three kings rising from the west and south to oppose the Antichrist and his ten kings. I personally hope that America will be a Western King. Though, unfortunately, they will fail. Then comes Famine and death. The fifth seal, however, will be the crying out of the saints beneath the alter, and the handing out of the white robes that they are to wear as more of their martyred brothers and sisters come and join them. Sixth seal will be known as “The Wrath of the Lamb”, it will be a worldwide undetected earthquake, where the sky will grow dark and the moon will be red as blood, the stars would fall to earth, and every mountain and island will be removed from it’s place.
Then there will begin the rising of 144,000 Jewish witnesses, 12,000 from each tribe.
The seventh seal will be so great that all Heaven will be silent for half-an-hour. Amazing.

I’ll finish this later, when I feel it is time. I may only do one a week, or one a month, but there you go.
