These do not happen for over 5000 years. Still another 300 or so to go till the age of Oriphiel. We got time
End Times already happened, we're in Age of Sigmar now
Doesn't the persecution of the innocent bring about the rapture?
The orange faced demon and his little pumpkin head demon doing the persecuting?
Marshall Applewhite bullshit.
What they seem to be missing is that the beast, and crew, precipitate the rapture and do the persecution while the righteous are the persecuted.
But they're always saying that.
Now I understand why my Xian Fundy neighbor had a TRUMP kitchen magnet on their car which they removed on election day.
They also like to blast the Gospel of John in their car to avoid to speaking to anyone but their spouse.
Now I get it why they are both self-righteous and voted for Trump: because they are a fucking idiot in my opinion.
Knowing there are no gods, no heavens or hells or angels or demons or devils or purgatories... knowing that, and knowing that anything written about gods (dogma) is made up nonense dreamed up in the minds of human monkeys, and knowing the people who profess gods the loudest are raking in money from the people who believe in things that don't exist...
I'm pretty sure all that about "the end of days" is just more religious claptrap.
{sigh} I wish those people, "the believers", didn't have 2nd or 3rd rate brains. It would be so much better for all of us if they could think.
I mean...many great thinkers in history (Locke, Newton, Rosseau, Voltaire, Smith, PS even Darwin was agnostic, but still theist) did believe in god (maybe it was just a cultural thing, since they could not disprove it), but that did not cloud their judgement of what is true and what is moral...so even they advocated for freedom of religion.
This could also have been because the memory of the european wars of religion (30 years war) was fresh in public memory, like the world wars are in ours.

The Saints rejoice to see Judgment executed upon the Wicked World.
The Saints behold with courage bold
and thankful wonderment,
To see all those that were their foes
thus sent to punishment.
Then do they sing unto their King
a Song of endless Praise;
They praise his Name and do proclaim
that just are all his ways.
