Civil war, world war, and the end of all nations
AbsurdityProphecy 87:1-8

1 Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls;

This is what the Lord says about the wars that will soon come. There will be a rebellion in South Carolina, which will cause much death and misery. [1]

2 And the time will come that war will be poured out upon all nations, beginning at this place.

Some time in the future, a world war will begin in this place. [2]

3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations.

The southern and nothern states will divide, and the southern states will ally with other nations, including Great Britain, to cause a world war. [3]

4 And it shall come to pass, after many days, slaves shall rise up against their masters, who shall be marshaled and disciplined for war.

Slaves will rebel against their masters.

5 And it shall come to pass also that the remnants who are left of the land will marshal themselves, and shall become exceedingly angry, and shall vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation.

Those who survive the war will vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation.

6 And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations;

Along with the war, there will be famine, plague, earthquake, thunder, and lightning.

Everyone on earth will feel God's wrath and all nations will be destroyed. [4]

7That the cry of the saints, and of the blood of the saints, shall cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be avenged of their enemies.

Until the Lord no longer hears the cry of the saints.

8 Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen.

So stand in holy places, and don't move, until the day of the Lord comes.

And it will come quickly. Amen.
