The four horsemen of the apocalypse might seem like a myth, but it is a real prediction of future events by the Bible in the book called “Revelation” or “the Apocalypse to John”. The word apocalypse means “revelation”. The four horsemen are merely symbols for 4 sets of events at the start of the End Times (also called the tribulation).
The first horseman is World War 3, a war between the Muslim extremists and the U.S./Europe/Allies.
The second horseman is the subject of this post: severe civil unrest worldwide.
{6:3} And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
{6:4} And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.
This occurs worldwide, as peace is taken “from the earth”. This is not a war, but civil unrest: people killing one another. And though there has been some civil unrest already, Seattle riots, Capitol riot, and mass shootings:
CNN reports on 20 mass shootings over 2 weeks.
this is not yet the second horseman, which is worldwide severe civil unrest and violence. But everyone can see that we are quickly moving toward that event. When it begins, it will be far worse than it is now. Far worse.
What kicks off the civil unrest? The three events predicted at Garabandal and Medjugorje strike the unrepentant with great fear. But once WW3 begins, the fear becomes almost universal. Only the truly faithful will be peaceful and hopeful in the midst of these sufferings and changes. Then it is the fear of those who either have no faith or are weak in faith which causes the civil unrest.
In addition, I believe that WW3 will include the use of at least two, perhaps three, nuclear weapons by the extremists against the West. This causes great fear also.
But to those who are faithful, I say, pray much and trust in God. There is a plan. The world will end in a much better place than it began, after this, the first part of the tribulation. Then there will pass a few hundred years until the second part of the tribulation, which then includes the Antichrist’s reign.
The Antichrist is certainly not in the world today. Do not believe any claimed private revelation which says that the Antichrist is in the world, or that he will arrive for this generation or the next. That is false. Many events must pass before the Antichrist can be born and rise to power.

Please do not quote from the alleged 3rd secret of Fatima. The version released by the Vatican in 2000 was confirmed by Sister Lucia to be the true third part of the Fatima secret. Everything else is rumor and gossip.
Everybody reading here knows that you are not right about Fatima 3rd secret official version of 2000. Whoever believes Fatima 2000 official version to be the only text or words of Our Lady, he would simply not be here reading and would be satisfied with the Sunday preaching. What Lucia said is what Lucia said who was a cloistered nun under strict vows. By not posting my comment but answering it, is self explanatory. The Fatima texts are very well known.
And to say that the impeding WW3 is just several atomic bombs by Muslim extremist regimes, or revolutions, is quite far from even the Second Secret of Fatima that speaks clearly of Russia. Is it also not to be talked about because it is somehow “done”? Not even pope Benedict keeps saying that anymore. Once the first bomb goes off, there will be at least a hundred more, to neutralize the primary targets of the attacked country, according to publicly available scenarios of how a nuclear war will unfold. But read not me, read people like the defected Russian spies, like colonel Lunev for example who testified before the US Congress about the hundred mini nukes intended exactly for the primary targets. Let alone other factors.
Your Muslim war and revolution, Ron, will never happen, because they are intellectual models. When that all starts, no one will play intellectual nor fair. Both/all sides will want to WIN, and in the nuclear era that must be achieved for MINUTES.
And I say that with full respect to all you do, including your interpretation of Great Warning that deserves respect. But you are simply wrong for some things, as everyone of us is.
