I am tremendously glad that I am not a prophet, as I have stated many times. Prophets have historically been used of God to warn His people of dangerous times to come. Their reward for their obedience to God has often been the ridicule of man, at least, and sometimes imprisonment, as with Jeremiah. Never the less, they spoke what God told them to say, as not to do so would be far more terrible than conceivable.
I am not saying that God told me to say anything, but He may have caused me to say something about what He has already revealed. It's the account of the beginning of the awful destruction that He prophecied through the apostle John, in Revelation Chapter Six, and that I'm beginning to suspect that it may be about to come to pass sooner, rather than later. I admit that the imagery is rather obscure, and since it was delivered in a heavenly vision nearly 2000 years ago, God seems to have intended it to be so, in order to keep His believers from panicking, before the time drew near. And if I'm correct, there is no need for His people to panic now. While the "Six Seals" account begins ominously, the "Seventh Seal", of Revelation 8 ultimately implies the most glorious happening of all time, referred to as "the Rapture" of the Church of Jesus Christ (all of those who believe in Him).
The opening of the "Seals" of Revelation Six is indeed ominous; an account of war, and conquest that apparently has never happened yet upon the earth, and perhaps may not come to fruition completely, as I suspect it may refer to the conflagration that will occur when "Gog" (whom I have already stated that I believe could well be President Putin, of Russia) begins to invade the Middle-East, as recounted in Ezekiel 38, &39. His purpose will probably be to conquer the "Gulf Oil Reserves" of Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, and the other Emirates, but to do so he must defeat Israel, the only Mid-East power that can, and surely would resist his efforts to do so. I've already speculated that his motive for doing so may be to thwart the financial sanctions inflicted upon Russia as punishment for conquering all of the Ukraine, which can't be long in coming. His long-term goal is the re-establishing of the Soviet Union Bloc under his control (and eventually the rest of the world, too). But the sanctions will delay further conquests, until he can embargo three-fourths of the world's oil supplies until the sanctions are repealed. However, God has chosen this blatant act of hegemonistic arrogance to demonstrate that He is still in control of the world, and that He will still protect His people, Israel, when he defeats the invading armies (Russian, and their Muslim allies), causing 83% of them to be destroyed, "upon the mountains of Israel".
I have written previously that I can't believe in the necessity of the sealing of the 144,000 witnesses in Revelation 7, unless the estimated 100 million, or more, Christian believers have already been "raptured" by the Lord's heavenly Angels to meet Him in the air, thereby leaving no believing witnesses to tell the world about the "Rapture" that has just occurred. They will be needed to explain that Hollywood's explanation is not true; that Martians did not kidnap them, and take them back to Mars to work as slaves, or serve as food for a starving planet of Zombies, or Vampires, or the like. These 144,000 witnesses will probably be people who have heard, or even read the Gospels, but did not believe it, until it was too late. They are left with the only option for their salvation being to suffer execution for witnessing the doom due the rest of the survivors on planet Earth, once the Lord returns to establish His Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, "for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away" (Rev. 21:1).
If I'm right, we who believe will be on the Earth for the first eleven verses of Revelation 6, until the missiles are fired from Russia, with the obvious response of American Nuclear Retaliation, (or even vice versa) but before they detonate upon their targets, with the "Rapture" occurring simultaneously with the sealing of the 144,000 witnesses, of Revelation 7. But, we may have to endure the trying times leading up to this point, as the Invasion of the Middle-East by Russian, and Muslim Nation's armies will certainly send investors in the global financial markets into a world-wide financial panic that will make the "Great Depression" seem like a party by comparison. There will likely be massive businesses collapsing into bankruptcies, and groceries will sky-rocket in price, for the stores that remain solvent, requiring a full-day's wages for enough food to survive for the duration. Obviously, unemployment will be rampant, so people will have to dip into savings just to eat, and I won't even guess what the Banks will do with our accounts!!! But, take heart, for this Mid-East invasion seems to be short-lived, and afterwards we'll all be in Heaven with the Lord, and the Bankers can have all our money, and see if it will do them any good! Maybe they can buy themselves a luxury suite in Hell, (or, maybe not)!
