Not sure about this one but I’ll try and not be judgemental and post it anyway. You can download the whole ebook for free at the link below.

‘THE FINAL THREE & ONE-HALF YEARS

Once the Seventh Seal is opened, the first of Seven Trumpetswill be blown. Each Trumpet will announce a specific phase of great tribulation on the earth. The first four trumpets will proclaim the demise of the United States and her closest allies.
All of this will be explained in this chapter. The final sequence of events that leads up to the opening of the Seventh Seal needs to be briefly reviewed. By the time this final seal is opened, all 144,000 whom God has called over six millennia will be fully trained to rule in His Kingdom. This Kingdom will be established when Jesus Christ returns with the 144,000 on the last day of the final three and one-half years of man’s self-rule. The remaining few, who were yet to be added to this total count of 144,000, and are alive at this end-time, will be sealed (completed their training) by the time this last seal is opened.

This final sealing will occur during the time of the Sixth Seal.

The First Four Trumpets

The first four trumpet blasts will announce four powerfully
destructive events that will bring about the total collapse of
the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, and some countries of Western Europe. The
direct effect of all four events is first and foremost upon the
United States.
The events, declared by these first four trumpets, are a
prophetic fulfilment of the symbolism contained in the events of
9-11, when the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon were
struck by terrorism. It is during the time of the first four trumpets
when the symbolism of 9-11 is accomplished; the economy,
government and military might of the greatest nation on earth is
struck a fatal blow.
The chain reaction, which will follow, is the very thing that
will lead immediately into World War III. It will be the last war
that mankind will ever fight! Before this final three and one-half
years comes to a complete end, all military forces around the
world will have been destroyed, every economy will be
decimated, several billion people will have died, and vast
destruction will cover every part of the earth.

The Second Trumpet

This event will take place primarily over water, but its effect
will also decimate much of the coastline of the United States, the
United Kingdom and some of their allies, including the complete
destruction of some cities. A third of all the waters within the
boundaries of these countries will become lifeless; everything
will die in these areas. This death will include a third of all the
people on boats and ships. However, there will be hundreds of
thousands who will die on the coastal areas of these same
regions.

The Third Trumpet

Each of these three events will become progressively more
devastating upon the United States and her closest allies. This
lethal blow will finally cripple the most prosperous and powerful
nation the world has ever known. The initial destruction from this
event will include several large cities. It will make the
devastation from Hurricane Katrina appear extremely small by
comparison. The destruction of property will be beyond measure,
but the destruction of life will be far greater. The death toll will
be in the tens of millions.
Worldwide repercussions from this event will trigger World
War III.

The Fourth Trumpet

The cumulative effect from the first three trumpet blasts will
be announced by this fourth blast, which will cause much more
destruction. By this time, over one-third of the population of the
United States, the United Kingdom and their closest allies will
have died. Many more will continue to die from the results of this
fourth event. Weather conditions will be horribly altered on earth
as a result of one-third of the sun’s light no longer being able to
warm the earth and give light. Plant life and normal growing
cycles will not be sustained by the sun as in the past. This will
result in immediate famine over many areas of the earth. The
effects from the Fourth Trumpet blast will result in far greater
death—again—tens of millions.
Although the devastation that follows the first four trumpet
blasts result in unimaginable destruction, along with the death of
a few hundred million people, the last verse of Revelation 8 gives
a warning of far worse events that will follow.

The Fifth Trumpet

The blast from the Fifth Trumpet will announce the emergence of
a great political power and a great religious power on earth. The
Biblical symbolisms contained in the description of the message
from this trumpet blast are prophetically unique. Rather than
having readers become bogged down with an overwhelming
amount of Biblical study that serves no purpose here, I will
simply give an overview of the meaning and outcome.
This trumpet will announce the first great “woe” on the earth.
The prophetic description covers many overlapping, unfolding and
interacting highlighted events in the final three and one-half years
of man’s self-rule.

The highlights of this Fifth Trumpet include:

(1) the emergence of Satan and his large army of demons to great power

(2) the emergence of great power wielded by the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope

(3) the emergence of a fully-united European union of ten nations

(4) the emergence of a colossal military might from this united European union and the destruction of several hundred million people by it

(5) the protection of God’s elect and the torment and trying (testing) of those who have refused to repent in the environs of God’s scattered Church
Indeed, God will make it clear who is the true power over both the revived Europe and the Catholic Church—it is Satan:

God’s Church
At the same time all these events come together at the sounding
of the Fifth Trumpet, there will be an initial period of time (five
months) when much human suffering will continue as a result of
the first four trumpets. This marks a time of great suffering on a
worldwide scale, but even now, God’s Church is still part of
these prophetic events. God’s Church still exists on earth, and
will continue, all the way up to the very return of Jesus Christ;
but many who were scattered in the Church, after the great falling
away, will not live into the new millennial period that follows.
Although Satan and his demons will be released from great
restraint, they will still be restrained in their ability to cause hurt
to any of God’s people who obey Him, especially those who are
sealed as part of the 144,000. It will be during this time that Satan and his followers will be allowed to wreak havoc and torment
upon those who have not yet repented and humbly turned to
God’s end-time prophets for understanding.

This five-month period will also be paralleled by millions of
people who will begin to repent and seek God. They will begin to
turn to the truth they have heard from God’s end-time prophets,
as well as those who serve with them in God’s Church. Yet,
during this same time, those who still refuse to repent (in the
United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and some
western European countries) will experience great trial and
torment to help them see their stubborn pride and bring them to
repentance.

The Sixth Trumpet

Although Europe will step in to fill the power vacuum left by the
collapse of the United States, there will be other countries that
will immediately begin to prepare for world conquest. They
know Europe, and they will not have Europe exercise control
over their future:

China and other countries of Asia will form an alliance that
will create an army which will exceed two hundred million. They
will have fearsome power to destroy everything in their path, and
this is what they will set out to do. They will seek control—total
control of the earth.

Armageddon

The last great battle of mankind (described in Revelation and
prophetically known as Armageddon) is the account of these two
superpowers converging upon one another and the battle that
ensues. This confrontation is inevitable. This time coincides with
the very end of the three and one-half years of final end-time
tribulation.

The actual region of Megiddo is known anciently in Biblical
times as the place of several great military slaughters. Therefore,
the name has great significance in prophetic symbolism in
relation to this final confrontation of mankind and the end of
man’s rule on earth.

China and her allies will move against the United States of
Europe. These superpowers will pursue a head-on
confrontation of military might, since both will be reluctant to
use any more nuclear weapons because of the enormous
destruction already experienced. However, it should be noted
that if either began to lose the battle, such weapons would be
used, and this nuclear confrontation would indeed end in the
total annihilation of all life on the earth. God will not allow
this to happen. This is why supernatural intervention in the
timing of events is so critical.

Therefore, on this last day of the three and one-half years of
great tribulation, God will intervene in the affairs of all mankind,
thus, saving mankind from destroying himself. This day is called
the day of God’s great wrath. It will be the last day of man’s selfrule
over the past six millennia.

Man’s awesome technological developments over the past
century have been withheld from mankind for great reason. Man
would not have lasted for six millennia if God had allowed such
development before now. This is the precise reason God created a language barrier at the tower of Babel, scattering man over the
earth (Genesis 11). A few thousand years ago, God actually
caused different groups of people to begin speaking in different
languages in order to withhold such technological advances.
God knew what the growth of technology would bring. He
also knew that nations would use it for personal power, military
advantage, and finally, war. Such is the nature of man. The arms
race has been just that—a race for the most powerful, the most
advanced and the most destructive weapons. The true witness of
man is that he will always use such weapons on one another, as a
result of man’s thirst for power and dominance.
Yes, if God did not intervene, mankind would destroy all life
on earth. This is why God will cut short man’s time by the rapid
development of end-time events which will be completed over
three and one-half years. God will do this in order to minimize an
otherwise prolonged and hideous suffering on earth.

Man’s Last Day

This last day of man’s self-rule will be the greatest single day of
destruction in all history, but it will also bring the greatest “good
news” to man that anyone could ever hope to imagine.
The day the Seventh Trumpet is blown will be the third and
final “woe” upon the earth. But three and one-half days prior to
this, God’s two witnesses will be killed in the streets of
Jerusalem. This event will lead to the first great event that will
begin on that last day.

The day will begin by the appearance, in the highest
atmosphere of the earth, of a large area of dazzling light and a
powerfully colorful display, which man has never witnessed
before. It will be the physical appearance (manifestation) of the
coming of Jesus Christ and the resurrection that will take place at this very time. All 144,000 people who have been trained
throughout six millennia to be in God’s government (the first
phase of the Kingdom of God) will be resurrected at the
beginning of this day.

It will be at the time of the resurrection of these two witnesses
(viewed by millions) that the 144,000 will be resurrected and
given eternal life in spirit bodies. The glory of this event will be
seen literally from earth. It will be an awesome, yet fearful sight
for many on earth. After the resurrection of God’s two witnesses.

The Seventh Trumpet

In the first great event on the last day of the end-time tribulation,
Jesus Christ will be in the heavens above the earth with the
144,000 who will be resurrected. The display from earth will
perplex mankind. Some will know the significance and will
anticipate Jesus Christ coming, while others, who still resist, will
see this awesome display as a threat to their power and existence.
Finally, man’s reign will be brought to an end.

This new millennial age for mankind will bring peace, equity,
righteous judgment, prosperity, joy, and happiness on a level
which will be so great that man cannot even imagine it.
