Is Islam the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse?<\/p>\n

Two well known Protestant leaders seem to think so.<\/p>\n

CCOG: Background and Fruits<\/a> The Continuing<\/em> Church of God (CCOG) was formally declared on 12\/28\/12. Yet, it traces its history from the second chapter of the Book of Acts. How are its formation and work similar to that of the old Radio Church of God? How is that work different? What are the fruits? Should you support the CCOG?\u00a0 This is a new sermon.
\nFour Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a> What do each of the four horseman of the Apocalypse represent? Have they began their ride? Did Jesus discuss the any of this? Might their rides coincide with the “beginning of sorrows? Do they start their ride prior to the Great Tribulation?

\nShould the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W.
