Revelation 6:8 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.
Revelation 9
15 SO THE FOUR ANGELS, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to KILL A THIRD OF MANKIND. 18 BY THESE THREE PLAGUES A THIRD OF MANKIND WAS KILLED —by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
The above Scripture has claimed that there will be at least two successive waves of genocide, which are distinct and separate events.
Now, the first genocide is going to kill 25 percent of the earth's total inhabitants (Revelation 6), but the second genocide would kill 33.33 percent of the earth's inhabitants (Revelation 9):-
Therefore, 25 + 33 = 58 %
Therefore, the remainder = 100 - 58 = 42 %
However, the current global population is about 7,800,000,000 people.
Now, 42 % x 7,800,000,000
= 3,276,000,000 people
Thus, 3,276,000,000 people is the projected remainder in the aftermath of the two successive waves of genocide in Revelation 6 and Revelation 9.
But will there be more genocide in addition to the aforementioned?
Well, Isaiah 24:1 has claimed that God is going to kill sufficient numbers of people to make the earth "desolate", but the actual percentage is undisclosed in verse 1, and also undisclosed in the following verses 5 and 6; we just know that God would kill sufficient numbers of people to make the earth "desolate":-
Isaiah 24
5 The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are DESOLATE. THEREFORE THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE BURNED, AND FEW MEN ARE LEFT.
However, the remainder of 3,276,000,000 are way too many people to make the earth "desolate", which means that this figure must be drastically curtailed in order to befit the description of a "desolate" earth.
The exact figure is undisclosed, but even 1 percent of the original 7,800 million would be far too many to make the earth "desolate".
Thus, according to the Bible there will be 3 different waves of genocide, but the Final death count is undisclosed because there is no precise figure concerning the third and final wave.
Regardless of the actual percentage (or numerical value) it is evidently clear that Armageddon is a real war, which is going to kill large numbers of people in literal terms.
Because there is no way that this genocide could be a metaphor as opposed to genocide in a literal sense.
Please discuss.
