It's Beginning

I've been telling people since at least 2020 that we were in the "birth pangs" described in [Matthew 24]. If you still think the Bible is an outdated book written by clueless cavemen 2000 years ago, let's look at that briefly.

"For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray."
- Happening in our world all the time

"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom"
- Russia/Ukraine, Hamas/Israel, Venezuela, civil unrest in the USA, and many more. Remember that I don't typically keep up with current events. These are just tidbits I hear from other people.

"and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places"
- covid-19, nipah virus, measles (after it was eradicated), zika, ebola, climate change and its various diseases whether directly caused by the climate or indirectly by waking up long-gone viruses from ice. The number of earthquakes has gone up dramatically recently, starting at 9,462 in the year 2000, up to 18,152 in 2025.

ALL THESE ARE BUT THE BEGINNING OF THE BIRTH PANGS.

"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake." 
- Christianity is hated on all sides. Authoritarians hate Christianity because it conflicts with the laws they wish to pass, and the society they wish to build. This is why many of them (including the Nazis) have weaponized Christianity, pretending to be part of our group, while secretly trying to change our doctrine to fit their desires. Libertines hate Christianity because of its (supposed) association with authoritarians, and because of its strict code.

"And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray."
- The most obvious is Donald Trump. Because of him, Christianity has been weaponized more than ever by wicked, power-hungry people, teaching a perversion of the truth. All over the world now, you can find people promoting racism, misogyny, nationalism, nazism, xenophobia, murder, and more, all in the name of God -- the same God who condemns all these things. This is a textbook case of a false prophet, and many are being led astray. But don't be mistaken, it's not just him. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of so-called "christians" with political power right now who have no regard for Christ. Look at the Bible, and then look at their policies. The two will always contradict each other. And all this is avoiding the spiritual lies in the church. I've met "christians" who believed in ghosts, reincarnation, that Mary alone can save souls, divination, witchcraft, Michael and Christ being the same person, and much more. I've met Christians who supported recreational drug use, and the practicing of lust. The "church" is in a dire place right now.

"And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold."
- Happening as we speak.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

I am not an expert in the book of Revelation. Nobody is, and if they claim to be, they are probably a false prophet. Much of the symbolism can be used as vague guidelines, but with most of it, specific things can't be discerned. However, what I do know is the voice of God. And while I do not know for sure, there's a very strong possibility that Revelation itself is starting to happen, and that the four horsemen have already gone out.

I do not know what the white horse represents. I've tried to look into it, but there is no conclusive, agreed-upon interpretation, so I won't speculate about it.

The red horse deals with war, and war is already happening, as described above.
The black horse deals with famine, which is beginning. Commentators seem to describe the prices of food becoming very high, which is already happening today.
The pale horse deals with death, the text mentioning "sword... hunger... death, and with the beasts of the earth". All of this is happening every day.

The four horsemen are each let out after one of several seals is broken on a scroll. With each one broken, another horseman goes out. With the fifth seal, no earthly happenings are mentioned, but the prophet mentions [an interaction in heaven]. We don't know of course, but this could have already happened, too.

If correct, this would leave our world currently sitting at the sixth seal, where the sun becomes black and the moon becomes blood-red. This has not happened yet, unless of course, it's symbolic of something else. It may very well be.

But don't be mistaken, later things are already falling into place, too. Later on, we see,
"The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up."
Fire and blood have not fallen from the sky yet. The trumpet must not have been blown yet. But between wildfires and climate change, the "third of earth being burned up, and a third of the trees, and all the green grass" is already happening.

"The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed."
This is also in the process of beginning, thanks to pollution.

"A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter."
This happens every day, primarily but not exclusively in third-world countries, and is apparently set to become even worse when the trumpet is sounded.

This would leave us at the fourth trumpet, where "a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened". This may be symbolic, or it may be literal. Whichever it is, nothing with a clear present-day parallel has happened yet.

Do you want to wait until these things are fully fulfilled, or will you repent today, the signs being put right in front of your face, all around you in the real world every day now?
