Dear Acheick, I discovered years ago that Jesus in Matthew 24 gives us a break down of what will happen. Verse 7 is coming up soon where nation rises against nation.- WW3(We have been in verse six since shortly after WW2 - That is, 'wars and rumours of wars.) Verse 7 matches up with the second seal in Revelations - (The Red Horse and rider - WW3)The first seal represents the peaceful religious deception used to build up the apostate global ecumenical empire. (Under Rome) In verse 9 the Lord tells us that there will be a worldwide persecution where Christians will be hated of all nations. Then many will betray the Lord, become hateful and many false prophets shall arise and deceive many. The rest of the end time prophesies (leading up to the Lord's return) from Daniel and Revelations must fit in somewhere in the following verses of Matt 24. I have studied prophesy for 30+ years now and firmly believe that some of the things in Revelation cannot be understood as yet but will be revealed as time goes on. Many out there are busy quessing at things and that is only causing confusion. I have been searching the internet for a sound web site that simplfies end time prophesy, perhaps in a chart format. Some good stuff is out there but they invariably mix in some really stupid things. One commentary (on Revelations)I was reviewing a couple of days ago was doing well until they tried to say there were two Satan's, one was cast down a long time ago, and the other will be cast down in the future. (Last thing I need is two Satan's:) Needless to say I won't be linking up to that web site. I haven't yet found any that have a really good handle on end time prophesy. I do know that the upcoming world war is the attempted Russian-Arab takeover of the middle-east. Maybe the Russians will realize that Bush and company are trying to take over the oil business world-wide.(There is a vast amount in Iraq.) If I find a really good site that properly puts together the pieces without throwing in a bunch of nonsense, I will post a notice up on the board. The Lord bless.
