Commentary: Has the Red Horse been released?<\/div>\nMore human beings have been killed in war and genocide from World War I to now than ever before in the same span of time.\u00a0 Warfare, natural disasters, religious confusion and religious strife, economic calamity, immorality and famine all seem to be increasing.\u00a0 Prophecy is clearly marching forward.\u00a0 Has the second seal been opened?<\/em> Has the Red Horse been released?<\/div>\n\n
\nDoes God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?<\/a> Was a 6000 year time allowed for humans to rule followed by a literal thousand year reign of Christ on Earth taught by the early Christians? When does the six thousand years of human rule end?
\nCan the Great Tribulation Begin in 2010, 2011, or 2012?<\/a> Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
\nFour Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a> What is the Book of Revelation trying to tell us about them? Does the first one deceive many?
\nThe Antichrist Quiz<\/a> Do you really know much about the Antichrist?
\nSome Doctrines of Antichrist<\/a> Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three. It also provides information on 666 and the identity of “the false prophet”. Plus it shows that several Catholic writers seem to warn about an ecumenical antipope that will support heresy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
