THE DAY OF THE LORD |
|
|
|
God's Holy Church has been raptured and it is time for God's awesome wrath! The Great Tribulation begins. Not your stereo typical seven year tribulation, but the end of Daniles 70th week when it gets real bad. |
|
| The Seventh Seal- |
|
|
| Revelation 8:1-5� When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour.� And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets. |
|
|
|
��������������� Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar.� And a great quantity of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God's people, to be offered on the gold altar before the throne.� The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of the saints, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.� Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake. |
|
|
| Zephaniah 1:7� Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign Lord, for the awesome day of the Lord's judgment has come.� The Lord has prepared his people for a great slaughter and has chosen their executioners. |
|
|
The Seventh Seal bring forth the trumpets and bowls of God's wrath.� It begins with silence and then storm. But first he saves 144,000 of his chosen people from the coming wrath.
Revelation 7:1-8 Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds from blowing upon the earth. Not a leaf rustled in the trees, and the sea became as smooth as glass. And I saw another angel coming from the east, carrying the seal of the living God. And he shouted out to those four angels who had been given power to injure land and sea, "Wait! Don't hurt the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of his servants."
And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God. There were 144,000 who were sealed from the tribes of Isreal: from Judah 12,000, from Rueben 12,000, from Gad 12,000, from Asher 12,000, from Naphtali 12,000, from Manasseh 12,000, from Simeon 12,000, from Levi 12,000, from Issachar 12,000, from Zebulun 12,000, from Joseph 12,000, from Benjamin 12,000.
|
|
|
| The First Trumpet- |
|
|
| Revelation 8:7�� The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down upon the earth, and one-third of the earth was set on fire.� One-third of the trees were burned, and all the grass was burned. |
|
|
| Obviously God's wrath is more extreme than the seals he allowed to come upon the earth.� The People remaining on the earth are those who rejected His love after EVERY MAN had heard the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. |
|
|
| The Second Trumpet- |
|
|
|
Revelation 8:8-9�� Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.� And one-third of the water in the sea became blood.� And one-third of all living in the sea died.� And one third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed. |
|
|
|
The Third Trumpet- |
|
|
| Revelation 8:10-11� Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great flaming star fell out of the sky, burning like a torch.� It fell upon one-third of the rivers and one the springs of water. The name of the star was Bitterness.� It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died because the water was so bitter. |
|
|
| The Fourth Trumpet- |
|
|
| Revelation 8:12� Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one third of the stars, and they became dark.� And one-third of the day was dark and one-third of the night also. |
|
|
| Ministry of the eagle- |
|
|
| Revelation 8:13�� Then I looked up.� And I heard a single eagle crying out loudly as it flew through the air, 'Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets.' |
|
|
| The eagle warns the world that is will get worse, before it gets any better. |
|
|
| The First Terror- The Fifth Trumpet- |
|
|
| Revelation 9:1-6�� Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.� When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air were darkened by the smoke.� Then locust came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.� They were told not to hurt the grass or the plants or trees but to attack all the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.� They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with agony like the pain of� scorpion stings� In those days people will seek death but will not find it.� They will long to die, but death will flee away!. |
|
|
| These locusts will not harm any plant life, they will not harm the sealed 144,000 Jews, they will torture all others for 5 months. |
|
|
|
People will become suicidal because of the pain but the will be unable to commit it. |
|
|
| Revelation 9:7-10� The locusts looked like horses armed for battle.� Hey had gold crowns on their heads, and they had human faces.� Their hair was long like the hair of a woman, and their teeth were like the teeth of a lion.� They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.� They had tails, that stung like scorpions, with the power to torture people.� This power was given to them for five months.� Their king is the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon- the Destroyer.� The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming! |
|
|
| These monstrous creatures are probably demons from the bottomless pit.� But some scholars feel John is trying to describe Helicopters of war.� You would see the face of men through the wind shield, their blades would make the sounds of chariots rushing, they could release some sort of chemical agent to torture people.� This is very possible as this prophecy is hard to imagine, but many strange and wondrous things will happen in these days.� I won't bar God from using monstrous winged demons for the torture of man.���� |
|
|
| The Second Terror- The Sixth Trumpet- |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:13-16�� Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.� And the voice spoke to the sixth angel who held the trumpet; "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River"� And the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on the earth.� They led an army of 200 million mounted troops-I heard an announcement of how many there were. |
|
|
|
Four demons have been locked at the Euphrates River for this very purpose.� They will lead a strike against humanity with an massive army.� |
|
|
|
Revelation 9:17-19� And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them.� The riders wore armor that was fiery red and sky blue and yellow.� The horses heads were like the heads of lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.� One-third of all the people on the earth were killed by these three plagues-by the fire and the smoke and the burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.� Their power was in their mouths, but also in their tails.� For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.� |
|
|
|
These horses are probably supernatural creatures lead by the four demons.� But some scholars feel John was trying to describe armed tanks that would shoot fire and sulfur from their mouths=cannons, and strike with their tails=mounted machine guns. |
|
|
|
Either way the result is the same. |
|
|
| Revelation 9:20-21� But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to turn from their evil deeds.� They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood-idols that neither see nor hear nor walk!� And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their immorality or their thefts. |
|
|
| The Angel with the Small Scroll- |
|
|
| Revelation 10:1-3� Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head.� His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.� And in his hand was a small scroll, which he had unrolled.� He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.� And he gave a great shout, like the roar of a lion.� And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered. |
|
|
| Here we find out about the seldom mentioned seven thunders.� But what they contain is not for us to know. |
|
|
| Revelation 10:4-7� When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write.� But a voice from heaven called to me:� 'Keep secret what the seven thunders said.� Do not write it down.' |
|
|
|
��������������� Then the mighty angel standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand to heaven.� And he swore an oath in the name of the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it and the sea and everything in it.� He said, 'God will wait no longer.� But when the seventh angel blows his trumpet.� God'\s mysterious plan will be fulfilled.� It will happen just as he announced it to his servants the prophets.' |
|
|
|
God is mysterious as are the seven thunders. |
|
|
|
The Third Terror- The Seventh Trumpet- |
|
|
|
Revelation 11:15� Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: 'The whole world has now become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ and he will reign forever and ever' |
|
|
|
Revelation 11:19� Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple.� Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared; there was a great hailstorm and the world was shaken by a mighty earthquake. |
|
|
|
The ark of the covenant which long has been missing will appear in heavens Temple.� There will be another large storm shaking the earth and the 7 years of Daniels 70th week are complete. |
|
|
|
But 30 days for mourning are next holding God's terrible bowl judgments.� Yes there are an extra 30 days as the prophet Daniel spoke of in Daniel 12:11.� Click here. |
