What is your position on the End Times, Daniel and Revelation, etc.

Unfortunately, I have bad news. It's not looking good for those who live in the West.
What if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is really about the rise and fall of America?
How would that work?
9/11 looks a lot like the 2nd horse. A nuclear war between China, Russia and America looks a lot like the 4th horse. Get more information here.
Concerning Daniel, it gets very interesting. You know about Nebuchadnezzar's statue and the feet of iron and clay. Well, the iron is demons and the clay is humans. Mind blown. There is a full planetary takeover by demons shortly before the arrival of Jesus. But first, we get the fake Jesus (false prophet, demon) who catches our hapless virgins sleeping.

Modern postmil fits this description.Here's a booklet on the LCMS position on the End Times: LCMS Document Library
And from the 1932 Brief Statement of Faith published by the LCMS
With the Augsburg Confession (Art. XVII) we reject every type of millennialism, or Chiliasm, the opinions that Christ will return visibly to this earth a thousand years before the end of the world and establish a dominion of the Church over the world; or that before the end of the world the Church is to enjoy a season of special prosperity; or that before a general resurrection on Judgment Day a number of departed Christians or martyrs are to be raised again to reign in glory in this world; or that before the end of the world a universal conversion of the Jewish nation (of Israel according to the flesh) will take place.
No thanks, I'm familiar with eschatological views. Modern Postmil is optimistic Amil with no literal millennial period of time. The chart below is something I've been working on but needs an update.Lutherans, along with our friends the Anglican, Roman Catholic, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox are what is sometimes called Amillennial (which is an imperfect term because we do in fact believe in a millennial reign, only a symbolic and present reality as Christ rules right now). The Lutheran Confessions reject Chiliasm in the Augsburg Confession: Article XVII, Christ’s Return for Judgment: 5.
"[The Lutheran Church] condemn also others who are now spreading certain Jewish opinions, that before the resurrection of the dead the godly shall take possession of the kingdom of the world, the ungodly being everywhere suppressed."

I'd be happy to elaborate on this or explain why if anyone is interested.
God bless!
