You make good points, but I don't really agree with them. I'm waiting for the antichrist to make himself known to the public, that hasn't happened yet.
Also... During most of the period in which you're describing, isn't the world supposed to be divided into those who have the mark of the beast and those who have the seal of God? None of us are distinguished by these things yet, from what I can tell.
Besides... This is all supposed to happen after the Rapture. The Rapture hasn't occured yet, so these judgements can not be called forth until it does.
The rapture isn't even mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Only three people are taken up to heaven according to the Prophecy. The Antichrist is infact not mentioned either. I think it is Peter who speaks of the Antichrist in one of his letters. That's all. The rapture is probably just a way to explain the spirit which has been layed uppon one out of a thousand, two out of ten thousand. The raptured mass is probably the 144000 Jews plus the great multitude of gentiles who have converted.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking what you believe, you can believe what you want. But I'm just saying I don't really think you're on the right track. It's a good idea, and what do I know, but I'm just not seeing it.
Good idea? This is it. Take it or leave it. These prophecies have all been fulfilled, even in the right magnitude and at the correct time, in the right cronological order and everything. These events I have mentioned are THE most devastating and dangerous threats against Jesjuah and world peace.

what about other random texts from books that arent "holy" like the bible?
one can take anything from any text, interpret it, and say it predicted the future.

Now, Hamilton, there's no need to attack me personally which you have done. Do not assume I don't know the history of the world, because I do. I'm a major in political science, I know history, ok?
I'm not awaiting some seven headed true beast, I know the antichrist will not be an actual beast, he will be in human form. I know there have been "beasts" in our past, but do any of them fulfill the prophecies of being the antichrist? The UN could be considered a world government, but I don't see it as such. Also, where is the one world religion everyone is supposed to worship the antichrist under? I've yet to see that.

Roman Catholicism is a diverse and multifaceted mixture of nearly every religion around. Especially Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Roman and Greek deities are honored in what appears to be a very Medo-Persian legacy.

And you said you had a couple of diplomas in history? Catholicism must be the widest and most effectively spread religion around. But it is merely one version out of many of the wisdom and mystics surrounding the Jewish Messiah Jesjuah. They are basically so effective in their indoctrination they are able to make the whole world followers of a story about Jesjuah, or Jesus as they call him, which seems curiously enough looks very Greek and Homerish, supporting all kinds of Babylonian and Arcane schools of symbology and religions etc. etc. Throughout the apocrypha Jesjuah time after time forbids his followers to write about him. We should rather worship the living God rather than focusing on the things of the past. We should ackowledge the things which are fulfilled and go on and try to avoid and fight with spirit at the next obstacle. A thing you know in your heart cannot be edited and manipulated just as easy as if you wrote it down. The Spirit should be our witness and councelour, not some mystic librarian in Rome with some rather strange C�sar/Messiah fetish mixed with nearly every heathen tradition you can find. Roman Catholicism like most other Christian denominations base their whole existance on missioning. And you say that they haven't engulfed other religions? Roman Catholicism is a diverse and multifaceted mixture of nearly every religion around. Especially Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Roman and Greek deities are honored in what appears to be a very Medo-Persian legacy. It is the political continuance of the Roman Senate, and the spiritual melting pod created by C�sar Constantine the Great more or less.
Forgive me for questining your integrity, but if you have studied history and these things are unfamiliar to you, I start wondering what kind of university you bought your wisdom from.

Huh... we're in agreement!
So, in essence, all can be traced to Sumeria... or as Hamilton mentioned... the Medo-Persian legacy.
Who'd have thought Hamilton and I would have met and agreed on this area? There's hope for you yet!
