Blog to discuss the book "The Apocalypse - Letter by Letter: A Literary Analysis of the Book of Revelation" and current events that point to the events described therein.
So, if you have read the book, then you might be curious if any of the current events we are experiencing relate to the signature events in the book. What is the next major event according to the Apocalypse? It is the 200 million horsemen.
As I pondered what the late author wrote, I wondered if the 200 million horsemen are purely a military force, or if they are more behind the scenes running institutions such as governments, pseudo-governments like the EU, WTO, etc. Or are they spread into more social rather than political institutions such as higher education, the press, large corporations, and such, all interconnected through masonry or some other secret societies.
The author seemed to allow for both interpretations. If the event is purely military, then it will be easy to detect. But if it is the gradual erosion of all Christian morals and ethics from the world through corrosive social change, then it may just already be well underway.
It's easy to look to each flareup of violence in the Middle East and assume that it relates to the next phase of the apocalypse. But there are other equally tantalizing events around the world. Steven Paul mentioned that the word okloi in Greek really means disordered mobs. When one looks at the organized protests around the world targeted against any western virtue, the description seems to fit. Just look at the protests against the US and Israel during the recent Lebanese conflict. And look at who is behind them. Certainly something's afoot.
