The Fifth Seal

Seventy Christians were found beheaded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Muslim murderers from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a group aligned with ISIS.
FTA:
I am mindful of the Book of Revelations 6:11
This is end-of-days type of stuff. We have not seen such persecution of the Church since the days of Diocletian.
In fact there has been an explosion of persecutions around the globe, particularly in the Islamic world but in other places as well, notably in subsaharan Africa. But it also is persecuted in America (with the rise of secularism as a state religion) and in China, of course.
Wherever the Gospel is being preached effectively the enemy comes with the sword and the rape gangs. Africa is becoming Christin, and the hatred and violence against Christians is rising asymptotically.
Once "there number shall be complete" then will come tthe day of judgement, the "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord". This is the Fifth Seal in the chain of events in Revelations. There follows the sixth seal (which reads "And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth and the moon became as blood"), then the 7th which makes the disasters of the sixth look modest - In fact there is silence in Heaven for "half an hour" as all of creation trembles at what is about to come upon the Earth. Then all hell breaks loose. The seven bowls of plagues are poured out on Mankind, and the Antichrist rises.
So if we are in the fifth seal we are in deep trouble. I wonder; is the Trump era the "silence in Heaven" where all is calm for a short time?
Pope Francis appears to not be long for this world and he is an anti-pope; it's clear the Leftist John Podesta and George Soros colluded with forces in the Vatican to force out Pope Benedict and install the leftist Francis. So did the CIA (More articles here.)Francis now has the chain of command solidly in his corner, and the coming conclave will no doubt pick someone even to the Left of the Peronista Pontiff.
This dovetails with Revelations; the False Prophet will give his authority to the Beast when he comes. Even though the Catholic Church has lost much of it's authority it still has a profound imfluence over what people believe and what they will tolerate. We've been in an era where people haven't much listened to the Church because the Church hasn't had much to say on matters which it is supposed to address. But Francis is a heretic and his successor may well be the Whore of Babylon, making the whole world fall into sin and setting the stage for the Antichrist.
so this may well signal the fifth seal and time may indeed be growing short.
BTW I've never believed in a pretribulational rapture as do so many Protestants. I think Scripture is quite clear; the rapture happens at the very end, as the parousia (return of Jesus) is in progress. No getting out early for good behavior! If there were a rapture the terror it would put in everyone's hearts would probably lead to repentence, but we know there will be none. So no supernatural event to shock the world - just the same old thing and the people will believe they are the enlightened as they prepare the day of wrath.
But whether I'm right or wrong about that it won't matter; this thing is coming and many of us will live through it. Oh, and it is going to be very, very unpleasant.

Seventy Christians have been found beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in what’s the latest devastating attack on believers in the north east of the country.
According to field sources, at around 4am last Thursday (13 February) suspected militants from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – a group with ties to so-called Islamic State (IS) – approached homes in Mayba in the territory of Lubero, saying: "Get out, get out and don’t make any noise.” Twenty Christian men and women came out and were captured.
Shaken by this incident, people from the local community in Mayba later gathered to work out how to release those held captive. However, ADF militants surrounded the village and captured a further 50 believers.
"We don’t know what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres”
All 70 of those kidnapped were taken to a Protestant church in Kasanga where they were tragically killed.
Muhindo Musunzi, director of the Kombo primary school [which belongs to the CECA20 church], says that prior to this incident, churches, schools and health centres had all shut their doors because of the chaotic security situation. "We had to move all activities towards Vunying,” he said.
