war against the rider on the horse and his. But the beast was
captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the
miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded
those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his
image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
burning sulfur."
What began before the worlds were formed is finally
finished, except for a footnote 1000 years later (Rev 20:7).
Human history has ended. Good has triumphed over evil, in spite
of the goals, plans, and conspiracies of men. The other gods of
this age and previous ages have fallen, and the true Lord reigns
as every knee bows to acknowledge him as the true KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS.
FOOTNOTES AND COMMENTS
I am aware that there are many different interpretations of
end time prophecy, and I do not pretend to have all the correct
answers. Even among members of mainline (and not so mainline)
Christian denominations, heated discussions and arguments can
arise when one discusses his own pet eschatological views. This
can be destructive, divisive, and completely unrewarding. This
should not occur, since one's own view of end time prophecy will
not have an effect on his eternal destiny nor will it effect how
he treats his fellow man. We are not called to argue, but to
love the Lord with all our soul and to treat our fellow man as we
would like to be treated. As noted at the beginning, this is
submitted for informational reasons only - if you don't ascribe
to this view, that's fine. It's probably not entirely correct,
anyway. I hope it will, however, cause interest in the field of
eschatology because the signs are very strong that human history
may be reaching its zenith and thus its end. Jesus commanded us
to be aware of the signs of His coming. Those signs are shouting
to be heard and understood, beginning with the rebirth of Israel
in our generation, continuing with the control of Jerusalem by
the Jews in 1967, proceeding with the exodus of Russian Jews to
Israel this year, and possibly advancing with the present Iraq
conflict regarding end time prophecies about Babylon (see
PROPH.NEW in LIB 2 if you're interested in this information).
