All the earthly catastrophes which man experiences are warnings of the final ones when God unleashes His anger at the end of man’s day. Any severe earthly disaster is just a taste of what is to come. All of the natural disasters of human history since the flood are just warning samples, whether they be hurricanes, tornados, floods, plaguing diseases, tidal waves, or earthquakes, they’re just samples of the worldwide devastation that will occur just before Jesus Christ returns to the earth.
In Revelation 16 we see the great battle of Good vs. Evil – the battle of Armageddon. “And they assembled at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon” (Re.16.16). This war will be over very, very fast. Jesus comes and it’s over. The world feels they can annihilate the people of God, they can destroy the Son of God, they can even defeat God Himself. That’s not how it is. Here comes Christ on a white horse, “…His name is called The Word of God.” He smites them. And an angel comes down from heaven having the key of the abyss…laid hold of the…serpent of old who was…Satan and bound him for a thousand years and threw him into the abyss. Sealed and shut so that he couldn’t deceive the nations any longer, till the thousand years was over.
