Your opening post makes a lot of assumptions.

1) That the Revelation is about "the end times".

2) That current events are proof that we are living in "the end times".

3) The elite being "pedophile satanists".

4) That conspiracy theorists were right.


I would disagree on all of these assumptions.

1) The Revelation is not about a future "end times", but is about the victory of Christ over the powers of the world which, in the context of the Revelation, was the Roman Empire. This is why the Revelation identifies Nero as "the Beast".

2) There has never been a time in human history where there haven't been wars and economic crises. Empires rise and empires fall. Jesus explicitly taught us in the Olivet Discourse that when we see wars, natural disasters, kingdom rising against kingdom, etc that these are NOT signs of the end, these are the birth pains of a world suffering under the labor of sin and death.

3) Yes, it's pretty clear with release of the Epstein files that a lot of rich and powerful people, including the current sitting president of the United States, was engaged in grotesque behavior; and that the victims deserve justice. Those in positions of authority have a duty to see justice served, regardless of who the perp is, regardless of their wealth or power. But, again, corruption and evil committed by the rich and powerful isn't anything new. These things were just as true a thousand or two thousand years ago as they are today. Also, the introduction of "satanist" has no basis in fact. It doesn't require literal devil worship to be in a position of authority and do horrible things. It doesn't even require being rich and powerful to do horrible things. This is not evidence of some satanic cabal--it's evidence of corruption in places of power, and the importance of justice--justice for victims of abuse, victims of heinous abuse.

4) The conspiracy theorists out there talking about a make-believe "Illuminati" are not right. They are still just as wrong today as they were yesterday.

I believe keeping other scripture in mind like the book of Ecclesiastes ( or for a shortcut, Ecclesiastes 12) and Matthew 24 & 25 can help us balance out what happens around us by faith.

Compare the news to Revelation, and one can see that we are in trouble. Revelation hides the nation against nation wars of Matthew 24.

9/11 looks a lot like the second seal with the rise of the Sword of Islam. WW3 looks a lot like the fourth seal.

Western countries see World War III coming – POLITICO

"The outbreak of World War 3 is seen as more likely than not within the next five years by American, Canadian, French and British respondents."

Interestingly, Matthew 25 in the parable of the talents says the lazy servant (didn't feel like moving) gets tossed into outer darkness with wailing and gnashing of teeth. Except, outer darkness looks a lot like death by radiation where pain ramps up to level 10. Those who don't feel like fleeing will just get caught up in a nuclear war. The harvests are nuclear wars.

Buy a good mouthguard, so when you clench hard you don't break your teeth.

I agree with all of this; the panic some people have along with doomsday speculation is unhelpful, also since it tends to distract from repentence from one’s own sins and devotion to Christ in favor of an unhealthy Chiliasm. But this is nothing new; I’ve always found the Left Behind films to not only be theologically erroneous but grossly offensive (for example, making the Antichrist a Romanian because some Chiliasts believe the Roman Empire will be rebuilt and the anti-Christ must be Roman, and then giving him a nonsense made up name “Nicolae Carpathia“ is grossly offensive; since Carpathia is not a Romanian name, the Carpathians are a different ethnic group (Carpatho-Rusyns or Ruthenians and the closely related Lemkos of southern Poland), both of which were harshly persecuted under Communism. And the name Nicolae - its like they just tried to think of a Romanian name off the top of their head and went with the name of the former dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and probably patted themselves on the back for also having a name that would appeal to the kind of conspiracy theorist who regards Santa Claus as some kind of diabolical falsehood and who is unaware of the historical figure of St. Nicholas of Myra, who is one of the more interesting and dramatic confessors, who was tortured under Diocletian and who did slap Arius (and was deposed for the slap, but subsequently reinstated, for clergy were not allowed to strike people under ancient canon law, but in the case of St. Nicholas, according to the history of the council he was remorseful for slapping Arius, also to be fair, Arius was openly committing offensive blasphemy before the council by denying the deity of Christ, which for someone tortured under Diocletian for confessing Christ, had to be … difficult to endure).

What do you mean? What do you mean by 'living in the book of revelations'?

If you mean the end of the world, then my answer would be - 'We are not'.
The end of the world is not within our era. Didn't you read the Bible + Christian History ??

As Jesus said when you see all these things occurring know that the end is near, even at the door Matthew 24:33.

I believe we are living in The sixth seal / sixth trumpet / sixth bowl and is Jesus said in Matthew 24:8-13 this is the beginning of sorrows...... I believe the last days started at the death burial and resurrection of Christ and all the prophecies written of in the last days have been coming to pass since and getting worse and that is also a key, getting worse...... And the prophecy in Daniels, knowledge will increase and people will be running to and fro in the last days had to occur and we have went from candles to electricity / walking and riding animals to landing on the moon in less than 200 years compared to thousands of years and all of the technologies of today compared to even 50 years ago. And mainly the ability to initiate the mark of the beast. And many governments of the world communicating towards a One world currency and the One world government and a one world religion.

We talk a lot about the president because of what his actions represents. Jesus told us to pay attention to the signs of the times. He didn't detail each and every event all the person behind it. His actions also gives light to how near we are to the end of the age / time.

Far too many people shove it off - as it is also written where they will be saying where is the promise of his coming; these things have been going on since the creation of man, 2 Peter 3:4.


And there are those who will say that the prophecies have already been fulfilled and will refer back to Rome. Failing to look at each individual prophecy and how they all must be occurring and there are just some prophecies that didn't occur and couldn't occur during the Roman occupation as written in the book of Revelation or the book of Matthew or Luke or Daniels or Ezekiel or Isaiah, books in both New and Old Testaments. Revelation to give a view of what is going to occur on Earth before it's annihilation as written in 2nd Peter 3:8-12 we're both heaven and Earth will pass away with a loud noise and melt with fervent heat / on to the new heaven and the new Earth written of in Revelation 20 / which Jesus said he goes to prepare a place that where he is we may be also.

What happened to seals 1 to 5? Did we miss them?

2nd Peter 3 (The Day of the Lord) is a good reference. Notice that it is written both to explain and to hide. It's really just talking about the nation against nation wars of Matthew 24. And by wars, I mean nuclear wars.

Zechariah 14:22 indeed sounds like nuclear weaponry.

Many of us believe the last days were ushered in at the death burial and resurrection of Christ. And these prophecies begin to occur from around the second century up until today.

Revelation 6 the first seal _ the white horse the white horse given to him power to conquer - look at the leaders of most powerful countries of yesteryears and today they are still conquering or trying to conquer.

Second seal the red horse giving him the power to take peace from Earth that they shall kill one another. There is less peace on Earth today than it was 100 years ago and less piece 100 years ago than it was 500 years ago and so forth and so on. As time continues and more people populate the Earth there is less peace. And man has become the perfect killing machine of each other.

The third seal the black horse with the balances _ price increasing on everything and the wages that most people make in most countries is not enough, even with two people working two jobs, they still have to scrape. I remember the prices from the 1950s 1960s and that was only 60 years ago or so it's a big difference in most items. And not only has the items increased in price, but they shrunk in size and diminished in value.

The fourth seal horse - The pale horse death and hell, the power to kill with hunger, death, and beast. As population increases there are millions who go to bed hungry every night, and most of these plagues that kills thousands / millions comes from animals.

The fifth seal is not the Earth but for what is going on in heaven, where they are crying out to the Lord how long will it be.

The sixth seal _ present day dealing with signs in the earthquakes, the Sun, and the Moon. The Angels stopping the wind from blowing indicates the shift in the weather and the weather is somewhat extreme / whether it's heat, or coldness, or rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis. Waiting for the children of God to be sealed. Waiting for the day when the world will see him coming and many running in fear trying to hide from the wrath that is to come.

The seventh seal _ was all quiet and man's time for about 30 minutes.

The seventh trumpets __ the first trumpet destroying greenery - we are having more forest fires these days and destroying more plant life. Plus how many trees do men cut down to use for lumber and paper and wood products.

The second trumpet _ destroying marine life in the oceans..... Oil spills is killing a lot of marine life, redtide, pollution, chemical waste, man's over excessive fishing.

3rd trumpet _ destroying marine life in freshwater rivers and such - pollution, chemical waste, and over excessive fishing has also taking toll on marine life and rivers and lakes and such.

Fourth trumpet - the Sun and the Moon and stars will be affected whether something naturally or militarily occurs on Earth, or something occurs in space. We are still living in the timeline.

The 5th trumpet star falling from heaven to Earth with keys to the bottomless pit setting loose creatures to torture those who didn't have the seal of God _ Hunger, and these wars, terrorist attacks, sicknesses, everyday life with murders, rapes and all types of crime and such.

The sixth trumpet let loose of the angels that were bound in the river Euphrates that a third part of man should be killed - beginning with the millions that plagues have killed - wars have killed - murders that have taken place - it is just the beginning of what more is to come.

The 7th trumpet - the kingdoms of this Earth have become the kingdoms of our Lord, he's here.
