Pj,
That is very interesting.
The beheadings that take place during the tribulation
always struck me as the modus operandi of islam.
Also the first four seals and the bizarre colors of the horses
white, red, black and green (the translators never saw a
green horse "chloros", so they translated it "pale").
From Wiki:
" Traditionally Islamic flags were of solid colour.
The most favoured colours were black, white, red and green."
The Revelation given to John was given almost a
millenium before islam was even thought of.
I've watched several "theories" go down the drain over
the years, so I've given up on being pragmatic about it.
Perhaps islam does precipitate the tribulation.
I think this is at least worth considering.
Thanks,
Rick Smith
