An End to Civilization

Religion:

In the video above it depicts the opening cinematic for a video game called Darksiders, the game demonstrates several aspects of its future – an apocalypse and the usage of figures from the bible – the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The name of the protagonist is War, after being accused of starting the apocalypse early has to confront a multitude of tasks – destroying both Heaven and Hell’s army. As depicted in the bible, the Four Horsemen are to bring forth the devastation as harbingers of the Last Judgment. Even though this event is described in the bible it’s nearly impossible for anyone to being upon an apocalypse as it just happens. I doubt that during an apocalypse that anyone would even survive or live to the extent for years. Having dangerous monsters isn’t possible as those are just shown in movies and if that was true; someone wouldn’t be able to fend off all those huge monsters like War had done. The game heavily follows chaos being foretold in the bible, obviously with its own variations. It wouldn’t actually be cool if an apocalypse were to happen because throughout the game there were no human survivors – only monsters, an army, and War himself. Everything is destroyed and there’s basically nothing left, even though War stopped the whole gap of destruction, he would never be able to bring back civilization – note that despite being a harbinger he only went against his job because he was accused of treason; so ultimately he was only trying to clear his name. No progress will be made or would civilization ever be revived due to monsters inhabiting the land; thus according to this game and the bible an apocalypse will only bring upon devastation rather than cause change to mankind as humans are wiped out.

Is an apocalypse really going to occur? Would Four Horsemen even come upon the world? I don’t have any religious preference but it seems like something as mythical people would ever be true. Could civilization survive during an apocalypse? There might be some people who would survive, but even if they did the question is how long would they survive? – Probably not very long as if there’s only one survivor, it means that humans will be wiped off the face of the earth. Could people ever try to find ways to stop this event from occurring? It just happens so I doubt it could be stopped. Though it might not ever happen even 2012 mark the end of civilization; but that’s also unbelievable. It doesn’t seem right to me that an event could even occur even if the bible depicts this event – nor does the bible explicitly states when the apocalypse will occur.
