Revelation 6:8 The Fourth seal judgement

[Kem]

My dil just asked me where I thought the 1/4 of the earth might be and I have always just thought it was simply here and there adding up to 1/4 of the earth but I suppose it could be one specific location. What do you think?

 

[Hol]

I’ve never thought much about where the people are from.

 

[Tall Timbers]

My thoughts are that it'll likely be spread around the globe as opposed to all happening in one area.

 

[Margery]

Pete Garcia had an interesting thought several years ago in which he added up the population of N and S America plus the central stuff, and it adds up to approximately /1/4 which he then speculated might be how things could happen, but I haven't heard anything since, and his thoughts on the subject were pretty speculative. Perhaps your dil bumped into that idea from his past writing, or from somewhere else????

It seems to me that the simplest reading is one-quarter of the earth's human population.

 

[Margery]

It seems to me that the simplest reading is one-quarter of the earth's human population.

I think so too!

 

[Kem]

Thanks everyone!

 

[Andy C]

Its hard to imagine how horrible it will be with 1/2 of the left behind population dying during the first half of the tribulation.

 

[Batman]

I've speculated for decades on whether the 1/4 is N and S America and it's going to be horrible for sure no matter who gets hit.
