What's that? A request for doom porn? .......Hmmnn. Let me get all Apocalyptic on you then.
I've been studying the Biblical Apocalypse for awhile and have figured out the following.
The Christian Apocalypse started sometime between Aug. of 1945 (end of WW2) and May 15, 1948
(birth of the nation of Israel). This is based on a reading of Matthew 24. Verse 6 where the end cannot start during a time of war. And the fig tree
parable verse 32, 33, and 34. Being the rebirth of an nation of Israel is a end time event predicted in multiple places in the Bible.
So the Apocalypse is at least 66 years old in May 2014.
Another problem. A major biblical curse ends in the mid 2020's. Here's the Readers Digest version of it.
Malachi 4. KJV. The version seems to matter in the chapter and verse in this book.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse.
Matthew 17.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son
of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
That was the declaration of the curse. After some searching I found a prophecy that gives the timeframe of the curse. The day of Jezreel prophecy
from the book of Hosea. And this is the verse with the timeframe.
Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
And this describes the days.
2nd Peter 3
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
According to the Hosea prophecy Israel was supposed to be cursed for 2000 years. Followed by a thousand year "day of Jezreel.
So then the Jewish temple was destroyed in 70 AD and the Bar Kochba revolt was crushed in 135 AD. It would seem that the Hosea curse is the curse of
Malachi. And assuming it started at the death of John the Baptist then the curse ends sometime in the 2020's. Also there's this. The Apocalypse
could not happen during the day of Jezreel. Which means the Apocalypse has to end no later than the end of the curse of Malachi. And the thousand
year reign of the saints in Revelation 20-4 is the day of Jezreel.
Sometime in the 2020's it's all over with.
Now a prophecy to totally freak you out with. Is Daniel repeating? What to consider. Daniel 11-2. The very first event of the Apocalypse according
to Daniel.
2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by
his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
In the distant future according to Daniel a country that looked Greek to Daniel would be attacked by 4 kings or nations from the middle east. Then the
2nd and third event is described in Daniel 8.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the
mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy
many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none
understood it.
According to Daniel the end times start with a country out of the west he calls "Greece" that gets attacked by forces from the middle east. And that
nation turns around and conquers 2 nations/kings in the middle east. Then it conquers "Persia" or today's Iran. Then that nation breaks up into 4
smaller nations. Then the Antichrist appears on the world scene.
So far it would appear that Daniel called 3 major events of the first decade of the 21st century. Will he get the conquering of Persia and then the
fracturing of the US into 4 republics? Stay tuned.
