An attempt and delineating between the events of today and the same ones during the Seal Judgments.
Introduction: Most discussions in regard to the book of Revelation focus on the Antichrist and the mark of the Beast and the supernatural demonic infestation that is focused on the trumpet and bowl judgments with less focus on the seal judgments.
The frittering about in regard to what is the "wrath of God" after "man and Satan's wrath" is often the focus here. The truth is the seals are PERSONALLY opened by Christ; and the later judgments are released by angels (some argue as to one or more are actually Christ Himself but I will leave that to another forum discussion).
I will start on what is inexplicably the least covered part; the first seal as to the rise of the Beast. I will leave the correct interpretation as being Antichrist not Christ being described as some suggest from certain theological camps; that often are associated with those who claim the seals are in the past or ongoing as opposed to imminent future occurrences.
Historically; up until the mid 20th century we saw kings; emporers; and dictators invade surrounding countries to take over large chunks of the globe; the latest example in world war 2 among Germany and Japan; and initially Italy simultaneously in the famous "Tripartite" agreement if I have that right with the 3 "Axis" powers at that time. Since that time we have only seen countries invade one other nation at most; with few exceptions. The a-bomb certainly could have changed the mindset with an avoidance of "mutually assured destruction"; but we also haven't seen charismatic dictators that have been able to draw in ethnic commonalities among the surrounding nations in particular. This "power vacuum" has been a conspicuous thing for the better part of a century; but when the Daniel 9:27 covenant and associated prophecies about the final world kingdom comes to pass the whole apostate world will embrace the false man of peace.
