Dissection of the End.

I wanted to take some time to dissect/cross reference some scripture in relation the Anti-Christ and the Tribulation.

Some accounts of this time period (and the preceding years as well) can be found in Daniel 7 and 11.
I'll also reference Rev. 13 here, also.

Daniel 7 gives us a description of the blocs of nation states that will be involved in the end times.

The first beast, in 7:4 refers to the Anglophone bloc of nation states, or Jacob.

The second beast, in Daniel 7:5 refers to the bloc of states led by Russia, including nation states that will be absorbed into its sphere of influence. 3 of them.

The third beast (Dan. 7:6) refers to the bloc of Germany and France together.

These three beasts together will represent the Allies in the battle of Armageddon.

The fourth beast (Dan. 7:7-9) is also described in Revelation 13.

During the end times, 7 seals will be released upon planet Earth.
The first seal is being opened as we speak.
Revelation 6 discusses these in detail.

Daniel 11:2 refers to a king that for one reason or another, he will stir up conflict with Greece, probably with ballistic missiles. 

A war with the West will take out the regime in charge in Iran because of this.

Continuing on until Daniel 11:20, a tax-raiser, or "exactor of tribute" shall arise, but he will be killed after a few days, with minimal effort. Probably the snapping of a set of fingers.

(2 Thessalonians 2 discusses the details of this time period a bit, too.
One thing to remember is that the Rapture of the Church will not take place until these things take place, or one year before Armageddon. Another thing to remember is that the Anti-Christ will not be revealed openly until I leave planet Earth.)

Daniel 11:21 refers to the subsequent importation of the Anti-Christ from an outside nation, most likely from France or Germany. He will be an allied puppet (up until a certain point, that is).

Verse 30 refers to the point in time when things take a turn for the worse.
"Ships" (orders or commands) from the allies will come in, and he will turn against them and take steps toward desecrating the temple in Jerusalem.

Verses 31-35 continues on about this, or Jerusalem being trodden down by the Gentiles.
Some will die "by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil." 

(Verse 35 discusses time in Purgatory.)

Verses 36-39 discusses how the Anti-Christ will worship and exalt himself above all.
He will live in a palace or fortress replete with spoils and riches.
He's actually referred to as "the god of forces."

(Where does he get this money from?  Iranians will sell territory to foreigners and then rent it as a stream of revenue for foreigners. Heaven's Bankers describes this process in detail.)

In addition, seven trumpets will blow during the Great Tribulation. (Rev. 8-10)
These take place within a 2 and a half year time period, prior to the Day of the Lord, or the year preceding Armageddon.

I want to take some time to discuss a few trumpets in particular.
The first leads to famine.
Joel 1 and Ezekiel 7:19 discuss such ideas.

(We will discuss the need to prepare for this point in time to have enough food to feed ourselves and our allies. You can't eat gold or silver, after all.)

The second, Rev. 8:8 describes a "great mountain burning with fire" falling into the sea, turning one third of the sea turning into blood.

The third (Rev. 8:10-11) describes the wormwood plague of  bitter waters.

The fourth (Rev. 8:12) describes the heavenly signs (Matthew 24:29)

The fifth details (Rev. 9:1-12) a locust-like plague, explicitly designed to torment the unsaved.

The sixth (Rev. 9:13-21) describes the drying up for the river Euphrates and World War 3.
One third of the world's population will perish therein.

Daniel 11 verses 40-43 discuss World War 3 in further detail.
(Zechariah 5:1-4 discusses nuclear weapons being used).
(Matthew 24:22 says that "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.")

The seventh trumpet marks The Rapture, which takes place one year before the Battle of Armageddon (otherwise known as the Day of the Lord).

Seven bowl judgments will be poured out during the Day of the Lord, or the last year, prior to Armageddon taking place.

Revelation 16 describes the bowl judgments in great detail.
The church is raptured prior to all of this taking place.

Daniel 11:44-45 describes the Anti-Christ's defeat in the battle of Armageddon.

The end, dissected.
