Go forth and destroy 1/4 of the world......

Was reading in revelation tonight about the horses and it hit me for the first time about the millions if not billions of people that have been aborted around the world. Do any of you think this plays into any of these prophetic visions. I realize that it seems that these verses make it sound like this destruction will happen quickly at one time but do we really know the time frame? Could some of these things be happening in view that we'll come to our senses, if we know G-d, and stop the destruction? I always read the Bible with these abortion numbers in the back of my head trying to understand where these millions/billions of people fit in the pages of prophecy. It mentions in Revelations of the souls that wonder when their time will come could these souls be all of those who have been aborted? Just curious to thoughts.

What part of Revelation,can you give chapter and verse?

These deaths have been recorded in Revelation as occurring during the 7 year Tribulation.

We are not yet in the Tribulation.

Hannah is correct. Those numbers of dead will occur DURING the seven year Trib period. The souls under the altar in Revelation 6:9 who are crying out "for their time to come" (as you put it), are the souls of those who were killed for their testimony of Jesus Christ. That is clear from the verse. So, I do not see the souls of those of whom we can say with any certainty that they are the aborted children anywhere in Revelation ... but no doubt they are included in the masses of those who are there shouting "Holy" to the Lord God! And I comfort myself with the words of Genesis 9:5— "And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man." (NIV) No one who has ever murdered another human being will escape the judgment of God. As He tells us in Psalm 9:12— "He who avenges blood remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted." (NIV)

Yes, Hannah provided and mattfivefour expounded upon the correct answer.

I would add, the first of the so-called "four horsemen of the apocalypse" is the Satanic imitator of Jesus Christ, the Antichrist.

Antichrist appears as Christ Jesus breaks the first of the seven seals. Revelation 6:1-8.

This is also known as the "70th Week" from the 70 Weeks Prophecy given by the angel Gabriel to the prophet Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27).
