ENDS there.

Me:
Right.  The great tribulation of the "Church" ends with the
rapture.  Jacobs trouble begins, as they RECIEVE the one
that "will come in his own name" as their messiah, this is
refered to as "tribulation" in Matthew.  The "great day of
the Lord" or the outpouring of God's wrath upon "those who
WOULD NOT believe the truth" (paraphrase).

As to the four horsemen, these are the "four angels" that
are told not to "hurt the Earth" UNTIL the 144,000 are
marked for EXCLUSION.  All of the individual "plagues" fall
under the heading 
of these four horsemen.

If you read the rapture into ch. 6 toward the end with
those who are left being divided into the unbelievers that
God is going to pour His wrath upon and the 144,000 JEWS
and the plagues as literal plagues 
and the "great man of sin/beast" as the false massiah of
the Jews that will not "accept the testimont of Jesus
Christ" the book of Revelation comes ALIVE.  Further
consider that this man of sin, the beast, will "overcome
the saints (144,000) and the two witnesses will stand
before him for 3 1/2 years until these are killed and on
the third day shall resurrect and the beast shall let them
go but as Pharoah will change his mind and persue them into
the wilderness where he will be "met" by Jesus HIMSELF.

I gotta run.  I have had some of the persecution I
mentioned earlier.
This came from someone in the Church so I ask everyone on
the list to pray for this person.  They are in GRAVE
DANGER!

I thank the Lord for people like you and praise Him for His
care of His servants!
