Do you like reality TV programs like "Survivor"? Do you think YOU have what it takes to survive in the wildest, most hostile places on earth? Okay, so you're tough...you think your BODY can survive anything. What about your SOUL? Do you have what it takes to survive the apocalypse? To find out, read on!
The word "apocalypse" has been used so frequently in our society, particularly by the media and in films like "Apocalypse Now", that is seems to represent a generalized "great war" or World War III. But, apocalypse is defined in both "Websters" and the "American Heritage" dictionaries as "a prophetic revelation" or "Revelation, the last book in the New Testament". The dictionary does not use the words "war" or "battle" at all. Make no mistake! The book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, does include a great battle, but much more!
Revelation is probably the second easiest book to locate in any Bible, next to Genesis. Revelation is the last book in the second half of the Bible called the New Testament. This book was written by the Apostle John while on the Island of Patmos some time between the years 90 and 96 A.D. While this is a very complicated book to read and often difficult to understand, it is important to note that Revelation is NOT the only book in the Bible containing prophecy about the end of time on earth as we know it! Other books written by other apostles and prophets include phrophecies (dreams or visions of future events) about the END TIMES, the RAPTURE, the CHURCH, the TRIBULATION the SECOND COMING or return of Jesus Christ to earth, the LAST JUDGMENT, and CHRIST'S MILLENIAL (1000 year) KINGDOM or reign on earth.
Revelation Chapter 6 describes what you have probably heard called the "four horsemen of the apocalypse". While the Bible refers to these riders on different colored horses, they are really judgments of God that will be poured out on the earth during the first half of the "end times" known as the TRIBULATION. If you think the contestants on the "Survivor" TV show and the "Eco Challenge" are tough...think about what it would take to survive things like: a global war so devastating that more people will die than the millions lost during WW II. The Bible tells us that a quarter of the earth's population will die!
