Rev 16
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth." 2The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
3The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.
4The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
"You are just in these judgments,
you who are and who were, the Holy One,
because you have so judged;
6for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve."
7And I heard the altar respond:
"Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments."
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. 9They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony 11and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13Then I saw three evil[a] spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."
16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 19The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
this is only part of what will happen during the tribulation...
But the born again christians will be taken first in the rapture..But the people who become christians during the tribulation will be there..

Towards the end, mass suicide and murder. Those remaining will be destroyed some how by God and left for the beasts of the field to consume and for the birds of the heavens. Because of this, they will not have a resurrection.
But for those who do God’s will and have his blessing, then Jehovah will bring them into a spiritual paradise and they will have the job of transforming the earth to the kind of paradise that Adam and Eve lost.
Sounds too good to be true? Try a free home bible study with Jehovah’s Witnesses. You will be amazed at what you will learn from the bible.
Remember, Jehovah had the bible written for our instruction so that we can come to an approved relationship with him and have the hope of living forever here on earth.

(Matthew 24:21-22) 21Â for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22Â In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short. {if we were raptured out what difference would it make how long it took.}
(Zechariah 14:12) 12Â “And this is what will prove to be the scourge with which Jehovah will scourge all the peoples that will actually do military service against Jerusalem: There will be a rotting away of one’s flesh, while one is standing upon one’s feet; and one’s very eyes will rot away in their sockets, and one’s very tongue will rot away in one’s mouth.
(Isaiah 2:10) 10Â Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust because of the dreadfulness of Jehovah, and from his splendid superiority.
got that out of my new bible. Kind of scary.

Wow, I never really thought of all the dead coming back to life. The Earth would be pretty over crowded.
I've never really pictured it, because I don't think it'll happen in my lifetime. I hope not, atleast. I know eventually the Earth will end when the Sun dies out, unless we're miraculously smart enough to overcome that. But that's millions of years from now.

(looks around)
You mean like this?
Of course, I don't believe in an "end" to the world...at least not in the Revelations sense. People may in fact wipe themselves out, but the world will abide. The physical end to the world, I guess, will be as it is consumed in the expansion of the sun...as the sun approaches the end of it's life...burned to a ashen cinder.
In five billion years or so.

the end of the world will be hot, the sun is going to envelop the earth when it expands in a few billion years or so
and the sun does not go "supernova" or "nova", just becomes a red giant

i suspect that when that happens(it wont happen anytime soon), it'll probably be pretty fast(if the sun goes supernova).
i dont think that dead people rising from the dead is a likely scenario.

I think that every nation that can afford it will have dangerous weapons capable of killing un-countable number of innocents and that these weapons are all pointed at every other country who also has weapons.....and then some idiot fires one of them off
