A previousReal Trutharticle covered the failed prophecy of a radio preacher about May 21,

2011, and his prediction about an October 21, 2011 doomsday. It addressed how to know falseprophets from od!s servants, and much more.

"ut what is the truthof "ible prophecy#

$esus %hrist, alon& with Old 'estament prophets and other (ew 'estament writers, spoke about

specific events and trends that would precede )is *eturn. 'here are about +0 that occur in

seuence, culminatin& in the *eturn of %hrist. -ome are lar&er than othersbut all

areprovable. 'he purpose of this uniue /ersonal is to simply and briefly reveal in seuential

order the first of 1 maor events. 'hey form afoundationto understand the answers to the most

crucial uestions about the future

I will be plain about what is comin& 'o defeat widespread confusion, no punches can be pulled.

Many sense the world is hurtlin& toward calamity. Mankind is overwhelmed with every kind of

trouble, evil and illterrorism, violence of every kind, pollution, overpopulation, political

upheaval, reli&ious confusion and tremendous economic turmoil and decline, which su&&ests an

even worse reat 3epression is ahead.

(ew diseases keep emer&in& and old ones are re4emer&in&. 5amine is decimatin& entire

se&ments of local populations. And incomprehensibly lethal weapons of mass destruction now

threaten humanity.

)undreds of millions live in abect poverty, i&norance and oppression. Add rampant and

worsenin& immorality and perversion across the worldand the never4endin& cycle of hatred

and unrest &rowin& ever worse in the Middle 6astand earthuakes, volcanoes and fri&htenin&

weather patterns across the worldand devastatin& fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, drou&hts and

floods occurrin& more often and in more places. )eadlines scream daily of seemin&ly endless

problems. 7orld conditions, events and trends speak in fri&htenin& terms about how thin&s

could quicklyturn in the wron& direction.

Most do not know whereor howto look within od!s 7ord to &et correct understandin& of how

events will play out, seuentially, within od!s Master /lan for the end of the a&e. And, instead

of e8aminin& the hundreds of verses on prophecy themselves for /*OO5, many are content to

trust supposed e8perts.

the symbolswe will study in *evelation. =ou will see $esus &ives a direct answer to a direct

uestion.

/aul!s last4days description culminates with, >6vil men and seducers shall wa8 D&rowE worse and

worse, deceivin&, and bein& deceived@ II Tim. 3:13B.

NUME! '" (a$se )hristianit* +rows much worse

5irst, $esus told )is disciples, >Take heedthat no man deceiveyou. 5or many shall come in My

name, sayin&, I D$esusE am %hristF and shall deceive many@ Matt. 24:4-B. $esus &oes strai&ht

to the problem that would e8istthere would be manydeceivers at work. %hrist warned that the

many would be deceived by those claimin& to represent )imnot the few. Are youconcerned

about this#

'he number of false teachers and false prophets is e8plodin&, e8actly as $esus warned three

timesust inMatthew 24B would occur. Most are unaware of this deceptionand its impact

throu&hout %hristianity.

(ow let!s read the e8act parallel in thefirst sealofRevelation 6.Gnderstand that what the

apostle $ohn records is written in symbols, not plain lan&ua&e. )e introduces the infamous 5our

)orsemen of the ApocalypseC >'he ;amb D$esusE opened one of the seals?behold a white horseC

and he that sat on him had a bowF and a crown was &iven unto himC and he wentforth conquering, and to conquer@ Rev. 6:1-2B. 'hewhite horserepresentsfalse%hristianity.

'he rider is a counterfeit of the true %hrist and a counterfeit of )is -econd %omin&, described

inRevelation 1!:11-16.'here, the real%hrist wields a sharp two4ed&ed sword, while the false

christ is carryin& a bow. 3o not overlook this critical difference

-ince false teachers, ministers and false prophets have been plyin& their trade for centuries,

$esus! warnin& for the end of the a&e must involve a bi& increase in the power, prevalence and

influence of false %hristianity.

'his reuires no interpretation. In fact, it is $esus! interpretation ofRevelation 6. As we read

7hen the secondseal opens, a red horse appearsC >7hen )e had opened the second seal?there

went out another horse that was redC and power was &iven to him that sat thereon to take peace

from the earth,

and that they should killone anotherC and there was &iven unto him a &reat sword@ Rev. 6:3-4B.

'he same$esus %hrist would not &ive two different versions of what happens immediately

before )is *eturn. )e would not tell one thin& to )is disciples of thefirstcentury, and another

to those of the 21stcentury 'his should be obvious.

'he sword of Revelation 6is shown as an instrument of war and killin&. 'his horse and rider

take peace from the earth. 7hen peace leaves, war remainswhat %hrist described in Matthew

24:6.

7ars have continued and &rown steadily worse since the time of %hrist!s prophecy. 'his part of

$ohn!s astoundin& vision has the &ravest implications for all alive on 6arth today. 'his

horseman represents the dreadful destruction of worldwar. "y the end of the a&e, the potential

for devastation in war has become so &reat it holds the power to take peace not ust from two or

more nations, but >from the earth.@

Only in the modern a&e have weapons of mass destruction been available. 'he 20th century saw

the two most devastatin& wars in history, with 77II far more destructive than 77I. 7e are in

the last intermission precedin& the truly &reatest war, foretold to e8ceed anythin& before it. A

sinnin&, rebellious humanity is reachin& the end of its rope, when war!s potential cannot &row

worse, because it can erase alllife from 6arth in one last blast of total destructionif%hrist did

not intervene and cut events >short@ Matt. 24:22B.

these thin&s must first come to passF but the end is not by and by Dor yetE@ vs. !B. 'he reek

word for >commotions@ means disorder, confusion and tumult. An e8panded definition could

they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence@ 33:2"B. 'he picture painted
