The 4TH Seal talk about 1/4 of the Earth's SURFACE affected by a WAR--- NOT that 1/4 of the Earth population will be killed....
The number of victims could be more than 2 billions if it destroys 1/4 of the world continent adding with war-related disease, looting, robberies and famine. There are 2 billions people in Europe and Africa and 250 millions in M.E. If the 1/4 of people refer to this continent they will all be destroyed.
I know you refer to this :
Rev 8:18 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
It will be global apocalypse without a pause when this final 70th week of Daniel starts, terror and terror to mankind in despair and their days of tomorrow will be even worst and worst.
It will make our present world look like a picnic !
Everything is abundant now, many parts of the world still enjoy relatively peace situation, Churches provide service in peace but not anymore in the Tribulation.
When God's patient is finished and mankind refuse to repent in Christ !
God will feed people with wormwood water, hail and fire from the sky, all calamities, killing angels, tsunami, earthquake, sun strike, famine, plagues, etc.
God will totally make war with mankind, but even after about 3-5 billions perished they still not repent.
Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
