On January 7, 2015, two gunmen raided the headquarters of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. Two days later, a gunman took hostages in the Jewish HyperCacher grocery store. These were two of five attacks in the Paris region of France. The radical Islamic terrorist group, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the incidents. This follows other events in Australia, Canada, United States and ISIS along the Euphrates River which is developing into Iraq War III.

The Arabic acronym for ISIS is Daesh and the plural daw'aish means bigots who impose their views on others. Daesh/ISIS/ISIL combined with the Russian-Ukraine War and events in the South China Sea are conflicts by major world powers to win control and rule the world. These attacks are against Capitalism, the current ruling power. These horses have been on the
 run since Babylon conquered Judea.

I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:18-19).

In Revelation 6, the Bible describes a map of our end time world. Look and see white, red, black and green horses on the run. The red horse of war is the political system of Communism. Russian and China have led the red horse for at least a hundred years. The black horse of trade is the economic system of Capitalism. Groceries cost a denarius or day's wage but food and wine are available. Since 1588, the United Kingdom and United States led the black horse. The chloros or green horse of Death is the false religious system of Islam. It controls a quarter of the world's population through sword, hunger, death and beasts. The white horse of apostasy is the false religious system within the Christian church. These four horses are fighting to control the world.

He (angel) carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet (red) colored beast (Revelation 17:3).

From Babel to Europa, there has been a fifth system that has tried to unite the political, religious and economic systems. Revelation 13 tells us that during the Tribulation, the Antichrist controls a political system (Beast), the false prophet controls a religious system (Woman) and they control they people through an economic system (Mark of the Beast). For a short time, the Antichrist succeeds in uniting the world but is defeated when Jesus Christ returns to rule the world.

Have you ever wondered what the end of the world looks like? Look at a world map and see God at work among the peoples of the world.
