Seal and Trumpet Judgments

This is a synopsis of the Seven Seal and Trumpet Judgments:

	SEAL	TRUMPET
First	White horse--conquest	Hail and fire
Second	Red horse--war	Mountain thrown in the sea
Third	Black horse--famine	Water turned bitter
Fourth	Pale horse--death	Sun, moon and stars darkened
Fifth	Souls under the altar	Locusts
Sixth	Earthquake	1/3 of mankind killed
Seventh	Silence in heaven	Sealed up

The interesting part is that we witness these types of things every day. War, conquest and famine have been around since the beginning of time, earthquakes seem to be more common, and even many of the Trumpet Judgments can be replicated in modern-day equivalents. Well, maybe not the sun, moon and stars darkening by one-third, but believe it or not, I heard a report some time back that postulated that the Sun shone 15% brighter not so long ago (and I'm talking in the hundreds of years), and that's simply not possible from an astrophysical perspective, but that's neither here nor there. The people around at the End Times  (and I didn't do the math, but I'm guessing that about 75% of the world's population will be dead by this time), after witnessing this devastation  will react as recorded in Revelation 9:20-21:

²⁰ The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. ²¹ Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. 

Imagine that--after seeing all this devastation, they don't change their minds, they don't mend their ways. I won't speak for anyone else, but that sure makes it look like we could very well be in the Last Days even as we speak. 

Be prepared, and do what you can to make sure that those around you are ready as well.
