I've begun to notice that more and more of world leaders are losing support and in fact their subjects are beginning to hate them. Hugo Chavez is hated, simply hated less than the rest of the candidates for his office. Mahmoud Ahmadenijad lost his party the parliamentary control. Vladimir Putin of Russia is accused of murdering his critics (and nearly everyone in his country believes the accusations are true). Shinzo Abe and Hu Jintao are losing in their approval ratings. Ehud Olmert of Israel is at a 14% rating. But look at Palestine and neither party (Fatah and Hezbollah) is well-liked, they have too much in-fighting. At least three governments (Fuji, Thailand, Somalia) have had coups to toss out their governments, and there are probably many more on their way out. Fidel Castro of Cuba gets sick enough to die and his country cheers the news with parades. Tony Blair will be forced into retirement soon (technically he already was, he just hasn't left yet).

Even George Bush has only a 30% approval and falling, but the new Democrat Congress is seen only as a stop-gap measure to slow him down in his foolishness rather than a chance at new beginnings. With all this I'm beginning to think that soon the people all over the world will soon "revolt" in hopes of establishing a new world order geared toward peace. While normally this would be a good thing, it seems like the perfect environment for someone like the Antichrist to rise up (or rather depending on religion, just someone against God's plans, whether you believe in Jesus, Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, etc.). Do others believe this is it, we are about to witness the fulfillment of Revelations (or any other prophetic book of the last days of humankind in its present form)?

Everyone is looking for ONE GOOD LEADER which will, according to the Bible, arrive on the scene to lead the world into the deception of perfect peace.
Your observations are wise and very consistent with the unfolding of what has been long since prophesied in the Holy Bible.
Cause and Effect... You have been blessed with eyes to see.

Revelation is not prophetic. While some believe it is, scholars agree that Revelation is nothing more than a political attack on the Roman Empire by an unknown author.
Anyway, communication has a lot to do with what you're talking about. Ideas are spreading much faster than before (almost instantly) thanks to the internet, and other more readily available and non-biased forms of communication.
This accelerates the process of finding truth. With the realization of truth, those who attempt to hide or avoid it become un-desirable.

Sadly, nobody is going to revolt, we've become too "civilized" in this day and age when you no longer need a gun to rob a bank because "the threat of a weapon is implied." People seem to honestly think that e-mail petitions and online surveys are going to have some miraculous effect at dethroning these tyrants and that their opinion matters for something, after G.W.Bush has proved twice now that our votes do NOT matter

And your question is...?
World leaders have always been unpopular. It's one of the job perks.
No. I'm a student of history and the people of a country (or the world) don't unite unless catestrpophic events require them to. If there were a huge war (like WW2 but a lot bigger) or very horrible natural disasters (dozens of times more than we have now) or a flu epidemic like the world has never seen, that might give us the impetus to move toward something. But without strong motivation, it won't happen.

Good point. Each day we are closer then the day before. A lot of prophecy are coming to light. Did you know that the bibles says that the generation of Jews who welcome the new state of Israel (May 6 1948) will be the generation to see the Lord come.

Definitely Hogo and the Iranian Pres. Ahmadenijad have alienated them selves from the entire world with their foolish radical Islamic hatred....and they are suffering greatly fo it..

Yes we are living in the last days. if you were to read the book of daniel and also revelation it speaks on all of the things that are happening and soon to come. we're actually in a spiritual war as well.

1. How is this a question?
2. What does this have to do with religion?
3. Of course, because they're doing things their people don't want them to do. Here for the people, my ***.
