In 2016, there will be more signs that full prophecy and prepare for the Tribulation. The Blood Moons concludes with the final four eclipses on Jewish holy days. Watch China, Europe, Islam and Russia as they challenge America and strive to be a superpower. Communism, capitalism and Islam fight to lead the world. But in the middle of events, see God at work to redeem the lost before judgment comes. Soon, all nations fall so Jesus Christ reigns on earth.

About this time of year, we remember what happened in the previous year and look forward to the new year. A part of remembering the past year is to learn from our successes and failures. Then we change priorities, make improvements and plan for success in the coming year.

I looked, and behold a chloros [or green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth (Revelation 6:8).

The year 2015 has been a year of confrontation between the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. See France Attacked. The green horse of Islam has been busy. ISIS has become the center of conflicts in the Middle East. Containment failed and terrorism impacted many countries including Egypt, France, Jordan, Nigeria and the United States. The Islamic State has spread from Iraq and Syria into Yemen and Libya. Instead of defeating and destroying ISIS, many Syrian refugees fled to Europe. Putin has propped up Assad and Red Russia has united with the Shiites in Iran, Iraq and Syria. The United States, leading the black horse, agreed to the Iran nuclear deal which betrayed our Sunni allies and guarantees a future Middle East nuclear war. See Nuclear Iran. The March reelection of Prime Minister Netanyahu was the one good event in the region. Red China was on the move in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean but we wait for their huge army to cross the Euphrates River. See China Superpower.

The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million: and I heard the number of them. (Revelation 9:13-16).

Key events occur on God's time. The three year cluster of Blood Moons continued as the second four of twelve eclipses occurred on Jewish holy days. See Eclipse. Pope Francis visited Washington, New York and Philadelphia. His first address to the US Congress was on the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. The US presidential campaign went into full swing in 2015. The president elected in 2016, if reelected, may hold office until January 2021 or 2025. That president's term may intersect with the beginning of the Tribulation window. The next nine years will be a critical time for Bible prophecy. See 2016 Election.

In those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness [solar eclipse], and the moon into blood [lunar eclipse], before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come (Joel 2:29-31).
