REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND! - Apocalypse-What Is It?

 Is not Revelation also called Apocalypse?  That is so "revelation" being the English translation of apo-ka'ly-psis in the Greek text, Many people equate Apocalypse with world destruction by nuclear warfare.  In  a Texas, U.S.A. city where great numbers of nuclear warheads are made, religiously  inclined people have been saying. "We'll be  the first to go." Clergymen in that area are reported to have  "become convinced that Armageddon  is not only inevitable but also close at hand, and the final battle  between the forces of good and bad of God and Satan, will take place as a nuclear holocaust. 

Note: This is not true. Jehovah God and his angels will be fighting not just Satan himself, but the wicked people of the the whole world, such at the Governments of the countries, including all dignitaries, queens, kings, etc.. And Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are MUCH MORE POWERFUL than Satan or any ignorant government official etc. in any position, in any country.  Man has been wrong with all their so-called predictions, thoughts and feelings.  Just at this whole universe today. Do  you actually see anything good about this world anymore. Have you experience any true peace or peace of mind? NO! NO ONE HAS And NO ONE EVER WILL IN THIS WICKED, IMMORAL, GREEDY and DECEITFUL WORLD/UNIVERSE! 

But really is an apocalypse? Though dictionaries define it by using terms such as "an imminent cosmic cataclysm."  the Greek a-oi-ka'ly-psis basically means "unveiling" or uncovering." Thus, the last book of the Bible is properly entitled "A Revelation." Here we find, not a mere fatalistic message of world doom, but an uncovering of divine truths that should build in our hearts a radiant hope and an immovable faith.

True, Armageddon is described in the last book of the Bible as   'the war of the great day of God Almighty." (Revelation16:14, 16) But it will be far different from a nuclear holocaust! Such a holocaust would likely mean the annihilation of  all life on earth. On the contrary, God Word gives the happy assurance that only wicked opposers of God will be destroyed-by forces under God's control.  (Psalm 37:9, 10; 145:20)  a great crowd of humans, out of all nations,  will survive the climax of divine judgment at Armageddon. Christ Jesus will then shepherd and guide these to everlasting life in a paradise earth.  Do you want to be one of them?  Happily, Revelation shows that you may be! - REVELATION 7:9, 14, 17.
