Why Hasn't the Last Disaster Happened Yet?

If you read the last post, you saw how the BIBLE ACTUALLY PROPHESIED THE HOLOCAUST DURING WWII. Now, if you continue on Rev. 7:1:

Rev. 7:1 'After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.'

After this, that is after World War 2, John saw four angels holding back the four winds to prevent any wind from blowing on the earth. But if you remember, the wind in the Bible represents war. So what were the angels actually holding back? Obviously, a war!

But this war is all around the earth, being that it must be a world war. However, if WWII was already prophesied in Revelation Chapter 6, then the next world war would be WWIII!
Here is a prophecy concerning WWIII!

What is the way God will protect us, because this will happen after 1945. But we are now in 2009! Why hasn't it happened yet?

Rev. 7:2 "Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3"Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."

There is another angel that has come from the East! (But bear in mind that angels come from heaven; also, who can have God's seal other than God? - Who must this angel be?!)

God is prophesied to come from the East to seal His people for protection. This is why WWIII hasn't happened yet. Now, what is God's seal? You wanna know? Stay tuned...

When Will the Last Disaster Take Place?

As the past post mentioned, and as mentioned in Rev. 7:1, Apostle John said, "After this, I saw four angels..." After what? Let's see the chapter before:

Rev. 6:12 'I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.'

Right before the destruction of the whole world, John saw stars falling to the earth as figs fall from a fig tree when the wind shakes it. Does that really make sense? Actually, this is the Revelation of Jesus Christ GIVEN TO John (as you've checke in Rev. 1:1-3). So as Jesus is speaking to John, do you think He is speaking directly? Of course not! Jesus always spoke in parables (Matt. 13:34). So even this is a parable! What does the stars, the figs/fig tree, and wind REALLY mean?
Gen. 15:4-5 (Read it!)
The stars represent Abraham's offspring, whom we call Jewish people.

Jer. 24:5
The figs represent the Jews as well. Now what is the wind that shakes them?

Jer. 4:11, 15-16
Finally the wind represents the war (as a besieging army comes from one land to another only to bring war).

Then look again at the prophecy:

Rev. 6:12
'I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.'

If a star falls from the sky, it is no longer living. And if a fruit drops from the tree, it is now dead. What wind (war) shook the Jewish nation so much that millions of Jews died? This was actually WWII. During this time period (from 1939-1945) was the event of the Holocaust which killed a large number of Jewish people. Let's confirm that Rev. 6 is speaking of WWII.

Rev. 6:14 'The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.'

What event occurred at the end of WWII that allowed the sky to look like a receding like a scroll, rolling up? Was it not the drop of the A-Bomb on Hiroshima & Nagasaki? Ever see one of these before?

Clearly, it was WWII that the Apostle John witnessed in Revelation. Now then, after WWII, what's next? Stay posted...

The Prophecy of Revelation 7

Rev. 7:1-3
"After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3"Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."

The writer of Revelation, Apostle John (Rev. 1:1-3) saw in Revelation 4 angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the winds to prevent them from blowing on the earth. Based on the words of the other angel coming from the east, the winds that these angels are holding back have the power to actually harm the earth. But if there is a wind on each corner of the earth (yet the earth does not have corners as it is round) then there must be harmful wind on the four points of direction (N, S, E, W). Should these winds be realeased, it will mean harm for not just one country or area of the earth...but all over the world! Such a disaster has not occurred as yet, since that other angel commanded them to hold it.

Then what is this disaster? What is this harmful event that will effect...even you?

Without knowing when this will take place, how can we be sure of what this event is. Stay posted
to find out when this even will take place. I'll give you a hint: Verse 1 says, "After this..."

Salvation, Not Destruction

If you've noticed, the safety of our planet, let alone our country, has been steadily deteriorating as time goes on. From the start of the millennium, 2001, we had the terrorist attack on 9/11 followed a few years later by the Indonesian Tsunami. The very next year, two major hurricanes attacked Lousiana, leaving the well-known city under ruins of water. Global warming is no longer a theory, but a worldwide threat. It seems as if there has been fire after fire, earthquake after earthquake...


How secure are we of our own safety? When we look at our own society, sure it may appear as "the norm" and everyday life, but do you really have any idea how deep we are in danger? All the events that I have mentioned thus far are all stories that we've read about in newspapers, saw on the news, heard word of mouth, or unfortunately participated in. But if any disaster came to all of us directly, what could we do to protect ourselves?
You may think now of a bomb shelter, your cellar, or some other place of hiding, but only one thing...the Bible prophecies that all of these disasters cannot compare to the coming disaster described in the Book of Revelation...and there is no place to hide. Only God can save us!

Yes, there are many sources leading to the prophecy of the end in 2012, but how many of them have taught us how to survive, how to be saved? The end is also prophesied in the Bible:


2 Pet. 3:7 'By the same word the present heavens
and earth are reserved for fire
, being kept
for the day
of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.'

Amos 9:1 "...Not one will get away, none will escape.
2
Though they dig down to the depths of the grave,
from there my hand will take them.

Though they climb up to the heavens,
from there I will bring them down.
3
Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
there I will hunt them down and seize them.

Though they hide from me at the bottom of the sea,

there I will command the serpent to bite them.

4
Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword to slay them.
I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good."
5
The Lord, the LORD Almighty, he who touches the earth
and it melts,
and all who live in it mourn—"

Sure many churches speak of a final disaster of how the world will end, because we cannot dispute this fact; it is Bible prophecy. However, the only church who proclaims the way to be saved IS IN FACT CHURCH OF GOD WORLD MISSION SOCIETY. Since God controls ALL THINGS, only God can protect and save us. Then let's see in the next post what is the world disaster coming, why is it coming and how will God save us...
