The End of the Tribulation Period
Toward
the end of the last half of the tribulation period, the Antichrist's
control begins to crumble under resistance and rebellion.
The sixth angel
sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the
golden altar that is before God. It said to the sixth angel who had the
trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river
Euphrates." And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very
hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of
mankind. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I
heard their number.
The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their
breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads
of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths
came fire, smoke and sulfur. A third of mankind was killed by the three
plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. The
power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their
tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
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. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic
arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. Revelation
9:13-21
This passage describes a 200 million-person army from the East that
crosses the Euphrates River, then a nuclear war commences.
