Actually we are already in the 7-year tribulation period. Most people don't realize it though because the major events don't begin happening until half way through.

Anyone who thinks terrorism has anything to do with anything is either nuts or just plain stupid. You are actually more likely to get struck by lightning than you are to be hurt by a terrorist. In fact the whole bogus "war on terror" is actually what fulfills most of the wickedness in the last days - the Antichrist uses fear and people's irrationally ill-proportioned concern for safety and security in order to gain his absolute power. The 9/11 inside job (yes, the U.S. government staged the 9/11 attacks) was the first of these such events.

What will basically happen next is they will create a catestophic natural disaster. Yes, the technology exists to create man-made disasters that appear to be natural disasters - in fact the 2004 tsunami was created using an earthquake weapon located in Russia, and Hurricane Katrina was created by a weather-manipulation station called HAARP located in Alaska. Anyway, as the result of this catestrophic event, martial law will be declared in basically every industrialized country and dissidents will be forced into internment camps where they will be executed, and the rest of the population will be injected with RFID chips.

Then the Lord's wrath will come upon all those who live on the entire earth, those who accepted the RFID chip implant (the Mark of the Beast), and such great devastation will come upon the earth that will absolutely dwarf the 2004 tsunami. Then the Antichrist will gather his armies and go fight for Isreal (yes if you actually read the Bible the Antichrst is actually pro-Zionist / pro-Israel) and the battle of Armegeddon will be fought.

Jesus will come back in 2013 and intervene in this battle and gather his few elect righteous followers, 144,000 in total upon the whole earth (I'm actually surprised it's that high), and will take them to go reign during the Millenium. For those who don't know the Millenium actually does not occur on earth, however there will be peace on earth during that time and the few survivors left over from the tribulation will rebuild and live at peace for 1,000 years.

Let's see, did I miss anything? By the way, there is no "rapture" despite what the Luciferian apostate churches are propagandizing in popular culture. The doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture is nowhere to be found anywhere in the Bible, yet the majority believe in it, which is actually one of the main contributing factors to why so many people who call themselves Christians will take the RFID chip (the Mark of the Beast), they figure since the rapture hasn't happened, it must not be the mark.

Well there you go! Repent, for the end is near!
