Do christians believe the book of revelations is talking our prophecies of our time?

. Here is the true sequence of events portrayed in the Bible book of Revelation:- I believe that the "7 Seals", "7 Trumpets", "4 Horsemen" and the "7 Churches" are all a part of the 'big picture' of the 'end-time prophecies' in Revelation. 1st seal & the White horse (rider with bow & crown) went forth conquering, 1st century AD, Horse & rider = Angels; White = purity; Crown = victory; bow is success against evil, and church is Ephesus - Trumpet No 1, Alaric & the Goths were warring against Western Rome, 395 - 419 A.D. 2nd seal & the Red horse, rider with a great sword, takes peace from the earth & Kill one another.

2nd, 3rd, & 1st part of the 4th centuries. Red = Bloody persecution, Sword = symbol of persecution. Church is Smyrna.

- Trumpet No 2, Genseric & Vandals were warring against Western Rome, 419 - 456 A.D. 3rd seal & Black horse, rider has a pair of balances. Weighing wheat & barley & selling @ exorbitant prices during 4th 5th & 6th centuries AD. Black = moral darkness; weighing grain & selling = Great spiritual famine for Scripture; Oil = Holy Spirit; Wine = atoning blood of Jesus.

- Trumpet No 3, Attila & Huns were warring against Western Rome, 456 - 476 A.D. - Trumpet No 4, Odoacer & Heruli were warring against Western Rome, 476 -? A.D. result was the Fall of Western (Pagan) Rome. 4th seal & Pale horse, rider is Death followed by the grave.

Power to kill with hunger, sword & beasts; late 6th to the 15 century AD. Pale = symbol of death; Death & Grave = Destruction of God's people during 'Dark ages'. Church is Thyatira.

- Trumpet No 5, Saracens & Islam were warring against Eastern Rome, 1299 - 1499 A.D. The Rise of the Ottoman Empire 1299 A.D. - Trumpet No 6, Turks & Islam were warring against Eastern Rome, 1449 - 1840 A.D. The Fall of Eastern Rome 1453 A.D. Collapse of the Ottoman Empire 1840 A.D. 5th seal; & Souls of the slain under the Altar. Cried out for God to avenge their blood. White robes given them.

Wait a little season. 16th 17th and ½ 18th centuries. Souls crying out “How Long” - Symbolic crying out as Abel’s blood did; White robes = Victory thru Jesus; Church is Sardis.

6th seal. Earthquake, Sun became black, Moon turned to blood, Stars fall, 2nd coming of Jesus. Mid 18th century to Jesus 2nd coming.

These have happened: Earthquake = Lisbon Nov 1 1755 Sun Darkened = Dark Day May 19 1780 Moon to blood = Colour of blood May 19 1780 Stars fall = stars fell on Nov 13 1833 Second Coming is yet future. Churches are Philadelphia & Laodicea 7th Seal - Silence in Heaven, happens at the Second Coming. The 7th Seal - there will be a SILENCE in Heaven for half hour (half hour in prophecy would be seven and a half days using the prophetic guide of 1 prophetic day = 1 literal year.

Jesus takes seven and a half days for his 2nd coming. It is silent because the angels come with Jesus for His 2nd coming).

If you really want to know and decide for yourself go get a bible and read it. The last book is revelations it has many answers to the question you are asking. Other answers could be potential opinions and you will still be wondering what they really mean.

Many things in the bible are interpreted differently by different people with many background experiences answer your own question for best results.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
