From a Non-Christian: "End of Days" and Is Bush the "Anti-Christ" [View All]

[Coastie for Truth]

Are New Orleans (and the Mississippi Gulf Coast) and Darfur and Peak Oil and Iraq the begining of the "End of Times"?

King James Version of the Bible, Revelation chapter 6, verses 1 to 8:

1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Is the Bush the Horseman on the White Horse? Opinions differ on whether the first horseman, riding the white horse, represents Christ, the Antichrist, or the False Prophet, but the general consensus of biblical scholars is that he is the Antichrist.

Is Iraq the Horseman on the Red Horse? The second horseman, riding the red horse, is generally held to represent War. The red color of the second horse could mean bloody war, and the sword held by the rider could symbolize war and violence.

Is the famine and laying waste of New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Iraq and Da fur the Third Horseman on the Black Horse? The third horseman, riding the black horse, is Famine. The black color of the third horse could be a symbol of death and famine. Its rider was holding a scale, which means scarcity of food, higher prices, and famine.

Is famine the symbol of Peak Oil -- and the loss of the oil rigs and refineries in the Gulf?

Is the loss of Life in Iraq, in Hurricane Katrina, so explicit in New Orleans and Mississippi, the Fourth Horseman of Death? The fourth horseman is explicitly named Death. The pale greenish color of the fourth horse means fear, sickness, decay, and death.

I am not a Christian! I have never studied the Book of Revelations -- this is just a recap of a discussion I had with a Rapture Democrat - very far left - (yes, such people actually exist) at lunch today.
