In summary, God has warned the nation through his servant Herbert W. Armstrong, but the people have shown indifference and complacency. They dismiss the warnings as alarmist and continue on with their lives. However, two controversial figures will arise and boldly declare God's judgments and warn of impending destruction. Those who are wise will take shelter and listen to their message.

GOD HAS WARNED THIS NATION through his servant, Herbert W. Armstrong. But our people have shown the typical indifference. The SHOCKING TRUTH hasn't really fazed them or sunk in! We're carrying on in our own ways, business as usual, just like in the days of Noah and the time of Lot.

We're not convinced, we're not convicted, we're complacent! We don't feel in any mortal danger, or sense an urgent need for national reforms. We rest secure in our religion, sleep in our pews, and dream repentance isn't for us, it's for the other guy. We're hard working, decent people - at least in public. What some parade in the streets, others practice in private.

"God wouldn't condemn us, Europe couldn't conquer us, you're just being alarmist, crying wolf like all the others." But what if this time it's for real? What if God's really warning us: "BEWARE THE BEAST OF EUROPE?" Maybe our religious practices aren't so acceptable to God, but does that mean He'd let us lose a war over it? Get taken captive and sent away as slaves? Yes, believe it or not! But this time Jesus Christ will save Israel! He's our Supreme Judge (Isa. 25:9)!

Two controversial figures will boldly declare GOD'S JUDGMENTS and proclaim the LORD'S CONTROVERSY (Micah 3:8; 6:1-2), delivering a BLISTERING MESSAGE and a SCORCHING CONDEMNATION - just before NUCLEAR FIRE AND BRIMSTONE RAINS DOWN upon those who've rejected GODS ULTIMATUM (Isa. 41:27; 30:27)! The wise will hear this THUNDER and take shelter (Rev. 10; Prov. 27:12).

So... you're saying you belong to a cult?

This guy's threads are becoming increasingly nonsensical, as he claims that the Two Witnesses will come soon, but he has not explained why there don't appear to have been any of the Great Plagues or the army of 200 million horse men to kill a third of the people, which must occur before they come. Notice that Rev9:13-16 comes before Rev 11:3.
The only mentioning of an army of 200 million horse men, which are figuratively referred to by the 4 angels (described previously):
Rev 9:13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
The first mentioning of the two witnesses:
Rev 11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
