As I see it the Book of Revelation is built on several levels. The seals, the trumpets and the vials are three periods in world history. I believe we are currently living in the "Age of Alarms" if you like. If the sixth trumpet hasn't yet been blown, it will be soon. This I call the third World War.

Before the first trumpet is blown an angel cast down fire from the altar of God to Earth: the wisdom of nuclear energy is let down to man. Man starts experimenting with Radium, Uranium etc.:

Revelation 8:5�And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6�And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Then comes the first World War with the first airstrikes, aeroplanes carrying bombs:

Rev 8:7�The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

World War 2 with 1/3rd of all ships sunk and the atomic attack on Japan. In Hiroshima, 1/3rd of the population was blown away:

Rev 8:8�And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9�And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Chernobyl or Chornobyl means wormwood in Ukrainian. Chernobyl lies in Ukrainia. The ashes from the blast was brought by the wind over vast areas. Many people died from contaminated water etc.:

Rev 8:10�And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11�And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

When Internet came, so did pornography and other kinds of immorality. Many of the children (stars), and parents (Sun and Moon) were morally darkened. And truth (light) is darkened. Many book carrying holy men's names surface and many of them are false:

Rev 8:12�And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Then there are many candidates to whom/what the eagle in the next verse is:

Rev 8:13�And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Before the Golf War.... The fifth trumpet is like a step by step description of the five month long Gulf War: Burning oil wells which smoke turned day into night, sworms of American Apache Helicopters coming out of the thick smoke, humiliation of the Iraqi troops. And it's all becoming really ironic when you get to know that Saddam means Destroyer:

1�And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2�And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3�And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4�And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5�And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6�And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7�And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8�And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9�And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10�And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11�And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 12�One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Then we are where we are now. At the second woe. Is it the War Against Terror? If so this war will become the most terrible war man has ever seen: 1/3rd of the people in the world will perish, but even so people does not stop to worship art, medicine, killing and immorality. 200 million troops will fight in this war. A mighty Angel steps down from Heaven who declares that time is up and delivers a bittersweet prophetic message to the people of the Earth. Then the Temple seems to have been rebuilt and it also seems like at least one of the mosqs will still be standing in the outer courtyard, when two prophets who is likened with the two lightstands and the two olive trees that stand before God shall bear witness. They are able to hold back the rain and make the sea red as blood. They can also stike the Earth will every disaster. They are eventually killed after their ministry of 1260 days in a war that will reveil the identity of the beast that comes up of the pit of death who will accuse them in the spiritual city called Sodom and Egypt, where also Jesus was accused. This trial and execution will bring about great joy among the people of the world, they will party and exchange gifts, for the two prophets had caused much distress. They will not be allowed to be buried, something which is terrible for a Muslim or a Jew. They returt to life after having spent three and a half day in Hades where noone can hold anything against them. They rise up on their feet and walks up into Heaven like Jesus did 2000 years ago. At this time there is a great earthquake that destroys one tehth of the city and 7000 people is killed. Those who remain praises God and give him the honour.

The seventh trumpet is when Jesus reaches the state of God and his king shall rule with a staff of metal. Jesus' enemies are now layed down like a footstool, and this is celebrated in Heaven. Judgement can start: First Jesus orders his kingship to be established, and a woman who's standing on the Moon, dressed in the Sun and with a crown of 12 stars around her head, she is with child and screams in birth pain. Satan manages to cast 1/3rd of the stars down to Earth. Then he seeks to devour the boy child as soon as it is born, but instead it is taken up to Heaven where he sits down beside Jesus just as Jesus once sat down beside his Father. Then there is the Great War in Heaven where the old Dragon is cast out and down to the Earth and the mother of the King-child is chased out into the wilderness where God has prepared an escape flight and a hidingplace for her. After that the beasts are summoned and a terrible law is inforced. Those 144,000 virgins who are sealed with the Holy Spirit is then gathered on mount Zion where they sing a new song before the Lord. Then the judgement is proclaimed, fulfilled and in the end the Millennium King returns, kills the beasts and Satan is imprisoned for 1000 years, so he will not bother the Father on his Sabbath, and not be in the way for the humans and God. After the Millennium there is a great war, called the Gog-Magog war that will be ended when God casts down fire on the Earth. Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire and the final Judgement is completed with the judging of the quick and the dead. The wicked is cast into the Lake of Fire and also Hades is cast into the Lake of Fire. Then God creates everything new: A new Heaven and a new Earth. And what do you know, even a New Jerusalem. A great city that is built in space without hands of men of unspeekable dimentions where the holy ones will live together with God and the Lamb eternally. Amen.

It means the end of the world as we know it. 1/3rd of the world's population will be killed. The world is not gonna be the same again after that.

is that a book supposedly dictated by God...would only concern itself with the events happening around the small area in which it was written...(i.e. always describing Palestine, Isreal, etc., but never the Americas). Could it be because it wasn't dictated at all, but simply written by man? Umm....Yep!

actually many people believe that people of american and UK/commonwealth descent are the israelites or judeans(can't remember which) that are part of the 12 tribes

'''Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,and your spoil will be divided in your midst.For I will gathe all the nations to battle against Jerusalem......Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations'''[Zechariah14:1-3]

Jerusalem, the center of controversy for hundreds of years,will be the point of contention in history's greatest war.
'''Behold'',cries Zechariah,''I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkeness to all surrounding peoples,when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.And it shall happen in the day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples;all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces,though all nations of the earth are gathered against it''[Zechariah 12:2,3]
And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them''[Revelation 20:7-9]
The last battle on earth will be final .........'''And I saw the beast,the kingss of the earth,and their armies,gathered together to make war against Him(Christ) who sat on the horse and against His army''(Revelation 19:19)
The battle of Armageddon will represent the final,futile attempt by Satan to deny Christ what belongs to Him.Through immersing the world in war and misery,the evil one will exterminate whatever light of hope remains in those souls he has already marked.These are they who refused to repent, even in the face of God's plagues and punishments.To them is reserved the misery of total defeat.
'''Another horse, fiery red,went out,''wrote S.T. John.''And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another;and there was given him a great sword''[Revelation 6:4]
Everything about this battle is extraordinary.Beyond the human warriors,there will be working of unseen powers...voices,thunders, and lightning.'''And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew ,Armageddon.Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven,from the throne, saying,'''It is done!''
And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occured since men were on earth'''[Revelation 16:16-18]
The earthquake will be the most powerfull and damaging in human history.
Saint Andrew of Caesarea cites other scripturel references to the heavens being shaken,which indicate a fundamental change in the earth:''The earthquake signifies a change in the existing world as the Apostle has said:Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also the heaven...Heb.12:2'''.

yep when u read that stuff it makes an a-bomb sound weak. i just hope and pray that i'm on the winning side

Ok.....After being disconected for the 5th time .........and losing all the info i wrote.......I wont let the devil win!!!


Unseen warfare........it's a fight that we all have to try and overcome........We do not fight with human intelect, but with spiritual warfare .......we always must be on the look out for inner strength from God.......

If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him.

(II Timothy. 2: 12)

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

(II Corinthians 4: 17)

Sorrows and temptations are recognized in Divine Scripture and by the Holy Fathers as a great gift from God.

St. Ignatiy Brianchaninov

In spiritual warfare, one must try to act as sailors act: during a severe storm they think neither of food, nor of drink, but turn all their attention to saving the ship from destruction; when the storm passes, the tension slackens, and the men accept food and rest.
On the ship they know also that they are afloat on a inconstant and treacherous element. That is why they do not give themselves over to carefree indolence and comfort, but are ready for new struggles in order to save the ship and themselves in the event of a new storm. Thus also should it be in spiritual life.

Philaret, Archbishop of Chernigov


Always cut off the passions while they are still young, before they take root and become stronger in you and begin to depress you: for then you will have to suffer much from them. It is one thing to yank up a small blade of grass, and another to uproot a large tree.

Abba Dorotheus

The enemy is within ourselves. An invisible war is taking place within us. If interior evil is defeated, then the external, weaker, foe will surrender.

St. John Cassian

Those who strive to live a spiritual life experience the most subtle and difficult of spiritual wars: a battle throughout each moment of their lives, with their thoughts.

St. John of Kronstadt

Yes this is often based on etymological research of the book called 4th Ezra when ten of the tribes didn't go back to the Land, but went north westward. There are reasons to believe that they mingled with the Kelts. The Kelts kept Saturday Sabbath among other things. Olav the Holy, the king of the kings in Norway had probably Keltic Christianity in his bag when he made Norway Christian about 1000 years ago until the Catholic Church plotted against him and had him killed and in the end cut into pieces. Nevertheless, he was made a saint of the Catholic Church.

The word for Saturday in Norwegian is L�rdag. The etymology of this word is abit unclear. Some say it has it's roots in the Norse Laugardag which means Bathing-day, while others again say it points to the Lord's day Lorddag. It was impossible for the Church to abolish Saturday as rest day in Norway, no matter how hard they tried to inforce the Mark of the Beast: Sunday worship. But during the time when Norway was kept under Danish rule, directed from Rome, Sunday was made the official day of worship, but still they didn't manage to make Saturday into a working day.

However in English the name for the Sabbath is Saturday, the day of Saturn. Saturn is the planet of Satan. I wouldn't be amazed if it was the Catholic Church who made this word for the Sabbath in order to get the Kelts of the isles to worship the pope and keep his mark instead: Sunday worship.

Yes indeed. It will be a war the world has never seen the like of. Nuclear? Yes, probably, but it doesn't say. Everything will be played out, and when it ends, Jesus is being instated as king in Heaven, Jesus becomes God, the Father, and Satan is cast out of Heaven after this war when he tries to devour the new son of God. The millennium King, Son of Jesus.

we all know that the only country that can muster 200 million ppl in an army is china, so watch out

Yes, China can manage to arm 200 million soldiers alone, but this is a world war with three major fronts. One red, one yellow and one blue. Is red communist, yellow Arab and blue the West?

That is the way I see it, Mike, blue being the New Roman Empire, which is basically the West, possibly excluding North America (I know Americans can't imagine a world without the U.S. deeply involved in, but I think the U.S. is going to be severely crippled by that time).

I can't imagine a world war without the US. Europe alone will not be able to hold back the other two fronts. Europe is only in the coming with establishing a military platform similar to NATO. Wonder who Russia will fight with

Russia, I know this might sound king of weird, but they might fight along side the Americans once again. They've helped us before, we've helped them before. Don't see why it is THAT impossible. So yeah, I would picture the Russians fighting along side the Americans and the Brits rather than the Asians or the Arabs...think they might just 'get along' better with the Americans?

here is a prophecy that fits in with OUR TIMES!!!


The Final Days

By St. Neilos of Mount Athos

Prophecy accredited to

ST. Neilos an ascetic of M. Athos who lived six hundred years ago,
tells about coming of Antichrist and the people who will live in final days Around 1900
the world begins to be unrecognizable
When the time draws near for the approach of the Antichrist,
mans mind will be in darkness because of the passions of the flesh,
and both disrespect and lawlessness will~ increase. Then we will not recognize the world.
The appearances of people will change,
and one will not be able to tell the difference between men and women because of their,
shameful way of dressing and their hairstyles.
People will be deceived by Antichrist, and they will be worse than wild beasts.
Parents will not be respected, nor will the elderly. :~ Love will disappear.
Christian leaders, archpriests and priests will be vain man [with only few exceptions]
totally ignorant of what is right and what is wrong
and then all the tradition of the Church and of the Christian people will change.

Piety will not exist among men,
only licentiousness will prevail.
Lies and Love of money will increase to the utmost,
and woe to those who gather wealth.
Prostitution, adultery, homosexual sins, thefts and murders will be at the highest level.
Men will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit received in baptism,
and will lose the remorse of conscience.
There will be no pious Leaders of the Church,
and how sad for those Christians living during this time,
who will lose their faith completely, for there will be no one to guide them.
Then they will leave the world to go to holy places to seek
spiritual comfort for their sorrows,
and everywhere there will be difficulties and discomforts.
And all those things will take place because Antichrist will control the whole world,
giving false signs to deceive everyone.
Satan will give such perverted wisdom for the invention of things that
people will be able to speak to each other from one end of the earth to the other.
Also men will fly like birds in the air and travel under the sea like fish.
With these things,
men will abide in comfort without realizing that Antichrist is misleading them,
making them think that because they have all scientific knowledge,
they do not need to believe in God the Holy Trinity

At that time the all-merciful God, seeing the destruction of the human race,
will cut time short in order to save the few faithful who remain,
whom the Antichrist has not managed to mislead.
And suddenly the two-edged sword will faIl, to kill the deceiver and his followers. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

*** one ascetic elder said about the final times and the Antichrist:
he has begun his work. The 666 has arrived. They Will try everything to make all
receive the number. These things will take place gradually ......


And though this was written a few hundred years ago it all seems that it meets today's times!!!

I can see all of this in our times.....I'm pretty convinced that we are in the midst of end times. As for the churches changing their tradition, I think that, although I am not Homophobic, the "Gay" issue is very likely to be the beggining of any big split in the church as a whole.....don't you think?
