The Coming Global Implosion - FIRST 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation

cont'd

PEACE WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE EARTH

The 'start' of the final 7 Year Tribulation period is imminent for today's generation. Revelation's chronology specifically shows that billions of people will be 'killed' just within the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation.



Any talk from today's preachers who say that there will be a 'temporary peace' on earth after the Tribulation period begins is exactly opposite the scriptures and the book of Revelation. In fact, right off the bat AFTER the Tribulation begins, Revelation specifically states that 'peace will be taken from the earth'. [Rev.6:4].



This is huge and critical foresight for today's generation of the total worldwide kaos which is imminent. Jesus Himself foretold of this coming nightmare on earth stating that 'men will be fainting from fear' and even from just 'the expectation of things coming upon the world.' [Luke 21:26].


A FOURTH OF THE EARTH KILLED

Rev. 6:8 states that 'a fourth of the earth' will be killed soon after the Tribulation begins. Of today's 6.7 billion people on earth that means about 1.6 billion persons will soon die, leaving about 5.1 billion. Soon after that, Rev. 9:15 states that another 'third of mankind' will be killed.

Overall, these numbers mean that in the next coming years after the Tribulation begins, that a total of several billion people will die, leaving roughly 3.4 billion people on earth. In conclusion, roughly HALF of today's world popu- lation will die just within the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation. As horrific as this sounds, it will most definitely take place. Without question, this generation will shortly witness it.



Rev.6:8 specifically states the causes of a fourth of the earth dying to be by 'the sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.'

'By the sword' means that global killing and murdering will soon explode in all walks of life. This includes from small wars within a nation and even against other nations, to terrorist-type of killings like we see today, organized crime, and even extending to anarchy and killings in the neighborhood streets.



This 'sword' is first mentioned in Rev. 6:4 in conjunction with 'peace being taken from the earth' immediately inside the 7 Year Tribulation. This same verse also states that

'men should slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.' [ GRAPH BELOW ]



Clearly, Revelation's depiction of this coming explosion of DEATH worldwide is related to the Red Horse [2nd horse, Rev.6:4] and the 4th Horse [Rev.6:7,8] who is labeled as 'Death' . The 5th horseman of Revelation is called 'Hades' who 'was following with him', showing this 5th horse's link to 'Death.' [Rev. 6:7,8].


ANOTHER THIRD OF THE EARTH KILLED


Quicky after a fourth of the earth's population is killed, then another 'third of mankind' will also be killed during this first 3 1/2 year period as shown in Revelation 9:15 and verse 18.



This will occur when God Himself "releases" the 4 angels [of God] which have been 'bound at the great River Euphrates'. [Rev. 9:14]. Once they are released, then a 'third of mankind is killed' by the ensuing 'plagues' as the result. [Rev. 9:15,18]. As a sidenote, since the Euphrates River flows down the middle of Iraq then most likely the whole Iraq-Iran region will be the first to receive the onslaught of these exploding plagues.



The 3 plagues themselves are directly related to the bottomless pit which will have been opened [Rev.9:2] during the first 3 1/2 years causing the air to become literally so toxic that 'the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.' [Rev.9:2]. Literally, just breathing the air will result in a third of mankind's death as indicated repeatedly in Revelation. [Rev. 9: 2,15, 18].



As previously stated, at that point just ahead in this generation about 3.4 billion persons will be left alive on earth during just the first 3 1/2 years of the 7 Year Tribulation period. The Great Tribulation to follow is worse.



For believers all over the world who see these things today then the Lord's own words are the greatest comfort saying: 'But when these things begin to take place, then straighten up and lift up your heads! Because your Redeemer is drawing near!' [Luke 21:28].

The first seven seals happen before the 7 year tribulation. War, unrest, famine, persecution, martyrdom, destruction.

Nation shall rise against nation, betray one another and kill one another, famine pestilence, delivered up for my namesake, sudden destruction come upon them.
In one hour, burned with fire.
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.(Stars are cast to the earth)
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;(Mushroom clouds) and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rise of the beast with seven heads and ten horns.
