The
Great Tribulation Period Everything
You Need To Know About It…!!!
The
Disciples Asked The Lord Three Questions
And
Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and His disciples came to [Him]
for to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye
not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one
stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as He sat upon the Mount
of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be?
And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:1-3.
Tell us, when shall these things be?
And what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? Mark 13:4
And they asked him, saying, Master,
but when shall these things be? And what sign [will there be] when these things
shall come to pass? Luke 21:7
The Answer
To The 1st Question
The answer to question #1: The
destruction of the Temple occurred in 70 A.D. by Roman legions under General
Titus and was besieged by the Emperor Hadrian in 135 A.D.
The
2nd And 3rd Questions
#2. What will be the sign and token to indicate and signify,
when these predictions and events are about to take place, to be accomplished
and fulfilled, come to pass and happen; regarding the coming and bodily
presence of your return?
#3. And of the entire, full, completed and specific period of
time, of the end of the age and of the end of the world?
The
Answer To The 2nd And 3rd Questions
For the Gentile nations, the heathen
and pagan people, will rise and move up against and among one another bordering
nations and kingdom against kingdom, one place of reign touching another; and
there shall be famines, a lack of food, causing destitution for people being
without food; and pestilences, a plague of diseases; and a shaking of the ground,
causing it to tremble, shake sideways, back and forth, for the earth will be
shaking in divers or various places, down through its’ distribution with
intensity, in many locations. But all these are the beginning, of the
grief, the first of the troubles, sorrows, of the birth pains and travail. Matthew 24:7-8.
For then shall be great and
mighty, exceedingly sore affliction, anguish, oppression, burden and tribulation,
such as not occurred since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be. Matthew 24:21.
For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be earth-shocks, earthquakes in divers or different and various places; and
there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows, like
the early pains of childbirth.
Mark 13:8.
For
in those days shall be affliction, anguish, burden, tribulation
and trouble, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God
created, unto this time and never shall be.
Mark 13:19.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall
rise up against and be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And
great earth-shocks, great earthquakes and great shaking shall be in every
divers and different places; and famines, people without food; and an
outburst of disease and pestilences; and there will be great signs of terror
and fearful sights from heaven. Luke 21:10-11.
The Sea and the Waves Roaring: A composite of the seventeen different
English translations and the definitions from a Lexicon: There will be
signs in the sun and moon and stars; and upon the land of the earth, anxiety,
anguish, doubt, fear and distress among the nations in a state of perplexity
with bewilderment and confusion, as of a mental loss of having no way out, by
reason and because of the billowing and vibration of the loud roaring confusion
caused by the noise of the sea waves. Men’s hearts failing them and fainting
from fear in apprehension, expectation and waiting for the things which are
about to come upon the whole habitable earth, for the forces and powers of the
heavens shall be moved and shaken. Luke 21:25-26.
I saw in the night visions and
behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven and came
up, even unto the Ancient of days and they brought Him near before Him. And
there was given Him dominion and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations
and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting and
age-enduring dominion, which shall not pass away and His kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed, nor brought to ruin. Daniel 7:13-14.
And
immediately and straightway, after the pressure and anguish; the tribulationof those days, the light of the sun will be obscure and darkened; and the
moon shall not give her brilliant light; and the stars shall fall from
the sky of heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken and stirred up;
and then shall appear, the sign and token of the Son of man in the sky of
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see
the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky of heaven with force and
power; and abundant, great glory, dignity, praise and honor. And He shall send
His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather and collect in
the same place, together His elect, chosen and selected ones, from the four
winds, from one end and extreme of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:29-31.
But in those days, after that
affliction, anguish, burden, trouble and tribulation, the light
of the sun from the east shall be darkened and obscured; and the moon shall not
give her brilliant light; and the stars of the extension of the sky of heaven
shall be falling; and the powers that are in the sky of heaven shall be shaken,
disturbed and stirred up. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in
the clouds with abundant, great power and glory. And then shall He send His
angels and shall gather together and collect in the same place, His chosen and
His elect from the four winds, from the extreme uttermost part of the earth, to
the extreme uttermost part of heaven. Mark 13:24-27.
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see
the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of
the sky of heaven. Mark
14:62.
And there shall be signs, tokens and
wonders in the light of the sun; and in the moon; and in the constellation of
the stars; and upon the whole earth anguish, anxiety and distress of nations,
with a state of perplexity and mental loss; standing in doubtful confusion as
what to do, being in a bewilderment, having no way out; because of the loud
roaring of the sea and the waves being in a roaring vibration; men’s hearts
failing them for fear and having an apprehension, an expectation and an
arrival; looking after those things which are coming on the land of the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be moved and shaken. And then
shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and abundant,
great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then raise, look up
and lift up your heads; for on this account, your deliverance and full
redemption approaches and is drawing near. Luke 21:25-28.
As
The Days Of Noah & The Coming Of The Son Of Man
But
even as, exactly like and just as the days of the patriarch Noah, after and in
this manner and fashion, will be also and even the parousia; the coming near and aspect in the physical presence of
the Son of Man. Even as, exactly like and just as, in the days that were before
the inundation of the flood, they were eating and drinking; marrying and giving
in marriage, until the day the patriarch Noah entered into the ark and knew
not, until the inundation of the flood came and took them all away; so also, in
this manner will be, the parousia; the coming near
and aspect in the physical presence of the Son of Man. Matthew
24:37-39.
And just inasmuch, according to,
even as it was in the days of the patriarch Noah, after that in this like
manner, on this fashion, so shall it be, in the days of the Son of Man. They
did eat, they drank, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the
day that the patriarch Noah entered into the ark and the inundation of the
flood came and fully destroyed them all. Likewise, similar and also, in that
manner as it was in the day of the patriarch Lot, they did eat, they drank,
they bought in the market place, they sold and bartered, they planted in the
earth, they were house-builders. But, moreover, the same day that the patriarch
Lot went out of Sodom, it rained a lightning fiery fire and a sulfurous
brimstone, from the sky of heaven and destroyed, and caused them all to perish.Even like and even thus, in the same way and manner, shall it be, in the day
when the Son of Man is disclosed and revealed. Luke 17:26-30.
Watch
Ye Therefore
Watch
and be vigilant to be awake, therefore and accordingly, for you do not know
what instant the hour of time your Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the
Master will appear and come. But know this, that if the head of the family, the
master of the house, had known what manner of being on watch or guard, the
thief and stealer would come, he would have kept a vigilant watchfulness and
would not have permitted or left home, and suffered his house and home to be
broken into and burglarized. Therefore, you be ready, prepared and adjusted,
for in an hour of time as you seem not to think and to give account, the Son of
Man appears and comes. Matthew
24:42-44.
Watch, keep awake and be
vigilant, therefore and accordingly, for you do not know when the Master, the
One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Lord of the house and home comes,
at evening, the close of the day, or at midnight, or at the third watch of the
cock crowing, or in the dawn, the day-break of the morning. Lest coming
suddenly and unexpectedly, He finds you sleeping and lying down to rest. And
what I say and put forth to you, I say unto all, even and the whole; to keep
awake, be vigilant and watchful. Mark 13:35-37.
And take heed, beware and
have regard to yourselves, lest or perhaps at any time, your heart, your
thoughts and feelings be overcharged, pressed and weighted down with a seizure
of pain of a headache, from a drunkenness of intoxication and from the care of
this present life existence; so that day come upon you unexpected, suddenly and
unawares. For in the manner, as a fastened trap and a tricked snare, shall it
come on all them that dwell, reside and remain on the surface of the land, of
the whole earth. Watch, keep awake, therefore and accordingly, pray, petition
and make a request and beg as for oneself, always at every occasion and time,
that you may be accounted, deemed entirely deserving and worthy, to escape and
flee from all these things, that shall come to pass and to stand in front of,
before, in the sight and presence of the Son of Man. Luke 21:34-36.
The Day Of
The Lord
And I will bring forth a rare event,
so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder; for it will be in the elevated area
of the sky, in heaven above and a token and sign of these events will be
throughout the entire regions under the surface of the soil, of all the land of
the world, in the earth beneath; for it will be a visible wonder of flowing
substance like blood and of flashes of lightning and fire, with a mist of vapor
of smoke: The rising of the sun in the east and the rays of light, will
become as an outlining shadow and shall be turned into darkness, and the bright
shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color; before that great, mighty
and notable, visible day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority will
come: Acts 2:19-20.
The
Lord Will Come As A Thief In The Night
But
concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you. For yourselves know perfectly, full well and thoroughly, that the
day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority will come as a thief in the
night. For when they shall say, Peace, quietness and safety with security; then
suddenly and unexpectedly, destruction will come upon them, as travail and
birth pains upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye
are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us
watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be
drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by
our Lord Jesus Christ; Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we
should live together with Him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify
one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11.
This
second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your
pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which
were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the
apostles of the Lord and Savior: Knowing this first, that there shall come in
the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts; And saying, Where is
the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and
the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that
then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth,
which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against
the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not
ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of
the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, will come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and roar, and the
elements shall be destroyed and melt with fervent heat; the earth also, and the
labors, and works that are therein shall be burned up and completely consumed.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved and destroyed, What
manner of persons ought ye to be living in holy and sacred behavior and
godliness; awaiting, anticipating and looking for with speed, earnestly
awaiting and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, destroyed, and the elements shall burn and
melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. II Peter
3:1-13.
The
6th Seal - The Wrath Of The Lamb
The 6th Seal: [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal; and,
lo, behold, there was a great, mighty and large earthquake and a commotion
of the ground; and the light of the sun, from the rising in the east,
became black as the garments of sackcloth made of hair, and the whole disc
of the moon became in the manner and similar to blood; [13]
And the stars, stretching over the sky of heaven, fell on the regions of the
earth, in the manner as a fig tree drops her unripe and untimely figs, when she
is being shaken of a great and mighty gale of wind. [14] And the sky of heaven
rent apart, departed and separated as a writing scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain as being lifted above the plain; and every isle
and island were moved in motion out of their original places. [15] And the
kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid and
concealed themselves in the dens, caves and caverns of the masses of the rocks
of the mountains, being lifted above the plain; [16] And said to the mountains,
being lifted above the plain and masses of rocks, Fall down upon us, and hide
with a covering to keep us in secret from the face of Him who is seated upon
the throne, and from the violent passion and justifiable wrath of the Lamb:
[17] For the great and mighty day of His violent passion and abhorrence, anger
and justifiable wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? [Revelation 6:12-17].
The sixth seal is the beginning
of the Great Tribulation Period. This “great earthquake” will occur in
the Jordan River Valley as the antichrist or Islamic leader; with the ten Arab
countries launch their attack against Israel. Upon their approach southward,
this “great earthquake” will stop this Islamic army from their attempt
to completely destroy the nation of Israel. This “great earthquake” will
cause a resonance of earthquake shock waves to penetrate throughout the
entire earth and create a worldwide domino effect of earthquake activity that
will intensify for the next 3 ½ years. These earthquake shock waves
will produce a secondary effect: volcanic eruptions on a global scale.
The Last
Trumpet Of God:
Lo! Behold and See, I show you a
silent mystery and secret; We shall not all sleep or slumber, but we all,
everyone, shall be changed and made different. In a moment, in an indivisible
atom of time, in the instant and twinkling jerk of the eye, at a side glance; at
the farthest and final, latter and last, the ends of and the latter end of the
uttermost, at the sound of the blast of a trumpet; for this reason, the
dead shall be raised and aroused to be wakened to an un-decaying essence and an
incorruptible immortality and we all shall be changed and made different. I Corinthians 15:51-52.
For the Lord, the One in Supreme
Authority, the Controller and Master, Himself, shall descend from heaven with a
shout and a cry of incitement, with the tone of voice of the archangel and with
the trumpet of the very exceeding God and the dead in Christ, the
Anointed, shall rise first. Then and afterwards, we who are alive and
remain, and survive; at the same time shall be seized; catch away and caught
up; plucked and pulled; taken by force, abruptly and hastily, with suddenness
and quickness; together with them in the clouds to meet, with a claim for
oneself, with a friendly encounter, the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the
Controller and Master, in the blowing air and so shall we ever more and always
be with the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master.
Wherefore and thus therefore, call near to comfort one another with these words
of reasoning and subject of thought.
I Thessalonians 4:16-18.
The
Seven Trumpets And The Seven Vials Of The Wrath Of God
1st Trumpet: The first angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there
followed hail and a fire mixed and mingled with a blood-like substance and
they were cast and poured upon the earth: and the third part of the trees were
burned down and completely burnt up; and all green herbage, grass and
vegetation were completely consumed and burned down to the ground. [Rev. 8:7].
2nd Trumpet: And the second angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and it
was in a manner as it were a great mountain being lifted above the plain, set
on fire, burning and consuming, was cast and thrown with intense violence
into the sea: and the third part of the sea became as similar to blood; And the
third part of the created things which were in the sea, and had life, began to
die off; and the third part of the shipping vessels were destroyed. [Rev. 8:8-9].
3rd Trumpet: And the third angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and
there fell down from the air of the sky, a great and mighty star, as stretching
across the sky of heaven, burning as set on fire, as if it were a lamp or torch
and it fell down upon the third part of the streams and rivers and upon the
fountains, that is, the supply of waters; And the name and character of the
star is called Wormwood or a calamity of bitterness; and the third part of the
rainy waters became wormwood or a calamity of bitterness; and an abundant and a
great many human beings began to die off, because of the rainy waters, because
they were made bitter. [Rev. 8:10-11].
4th Trumpet: And the fourth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet;
and the third part of the light, as the eastern sun, was inflicted and smitten
in a calamity; and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars,
as stretching across the sky; so as a result, the third part of them was
darkened and obscure; and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the
night likewise in a similar manner. [Rev. 8:12].
5th Trumpet: [1] And the fifth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and
I saw a star fall down from the sky of heaven unto the earth: and to him was
given the key to the lock of the depthless abyss, the infernal deep and the
bottomless pit. [2] And he opened up the holes in the ground, the cisterns
and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the bottomless
pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground; in the manner
as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace; and the sunlight as rising in
the east and the blowing air from its’ original place was darkened from the
smoke of the holes in the ground, the cisterns, the wells, the abyss and the
pit. [3] And there came out, and escaped, and spread abroad from the smoke,
locusts upon the whole ground, land and regions of the earth: and unto them was
given authority, liberty, mastery and power, in the manner of scorpions of the
earth with a sting, which have power, force and strength. [4] And it was
commanded them that, they should not hurt or injure the grass or herbage and
vegetation of the earth, neither any greenish thing, neither any tree; but only
those human beings who have not the true seal of protection, of the very
exceeding God, in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was commanded and given
them, that they should not outright destroy and kill or slay them, but for the
intent and purpose to torture, cause pain and vex them, that they should be
tormented five months: and their torment was in the manner as the torment of a
stinging scorpion, when a scorpion hits and strikes, to sting a human being.
[6] And in those days shall human beings seek death, and shall not be able to
find it; and shall desire to obtain to die and being able to die off, or be slain
and death shall escape, flee and vanish from them. [7] And the shapes and
resemblance of the locusts, were like the manner unto horses ready and prepared
unto battle or a series of warfare; and on their heads were as it were crowns
like gold, and their faces were as the faces of human beings. [8] And they had
hair, as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the same manner as the
teeth of lions. [9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron;
and the sounding tone of their wings, was as the sound of chariots of a great
many horses running with hast to battle or a series of warfare. [10] And they
had tails in the like manner, unto a stinging scorpion and they had stinging,
pricking tails: and their force, mastery and power were to hurt and injure
human beings for five months. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the
angel of the depthless, infernal abyss, the deep bottomless pit, whose name in
the Hebrew tongue, is Abaddon, that is, a destroying angel; but in the Greek
tongue, his name is Apollyon; a destroyer. [12] One woe is past; and, lo,
behold, there come two woes more, hereafter.
[Revelation 9:1-12].
When the “fifth angel sounds” the
“fifth trumpet,” he is given “the key” which opens the “bottomless
pit.” The “bottomless pit” is the interior of the earth. The
only way to open into the interior of the earth is to open the surface of the
earth’s crust. Upon the surface of the earth, there are volcanic vents. When
there remains “five months” before the end of the Great Tribulation
Period, this angel is given authority from God to open these pathways beneath
the surface, where certain demonic beings dwell. From this study, it is
possible to determine, these demons have made an appearance upon the earths’
surface in ancient times and now, from the hundreds, perhaps even several thousand
erupting volcanoes, they will escape from the bottomless pit along the earth’s
tectonic boundaries, from these volcanic vents for the sole purpose of
tormenting lost humanity. The saved will be present during this fifth trumpet
(1st woe) and the sixth trumpet (2nd woe); until the
seventh trumpet (3rd woe) sounds, which announces the Rapture of all
the saved from the earth.
These demons are from the group
associated with Michael the archangel, while they were still perfect. After
their fall, they became "evil" spiritual beings, called demons. They
will cause the earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth, in order to torment and
destroy humanity.
6th Trumpet: [13] And the sixth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and
I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar and place of sacrifice
which is before the very exceeding God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel
which had the trumpet, Unloose the four angels which are in bonds, in the great
river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were unloosed, which were prepared
for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay, to kill outright
and destroy the third part of human beings. [16] And the number of the army of
the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; that is, two hundred million:
and I heard the number of them. [17] And thus, I saw the horses in the inspired
appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest and
breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow
sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of
lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a
sulfurous brimstone. [18] By these three was the stroke, calamity and
plague that caused the third part of human beings to be outright killed and
slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the
yellow sulfurous like-brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. [19]
For their power and force is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their
tails were in the like manner and similar to a malicious snake or serpent, and
had heads, and with them they do hurt and injure. [20] And the rest and
remaining of the human beings which were not killed and slain by these strokes
of calamity and plagues, yet repented not, nor reconsidered their thoughts, to
think differently of the work and labor of their hands, that they should not
and in no wise fall down to pay homage, give reverence, adore and worship
demonic beings, as a deity and an image of an idol of gold, and silver, and
brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21]
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorcery and witchcraft,
nor of their harlotry and fornication, nor of their thefts. [Revelation 9:13-21].
It is a possibility, this 6th
trumpet occurs a few months before the Rapture of the saved, since the
previous 5th trumpet may indicate the remaining 5 months of a
Biblical 30 day period to the end of the Great Tribulation Period, including
the 45 days of the Wrath of God (the seven vials). Therefore, if this trumpet
is 150 days in length, minus the 45 days during the Wrath of God (the seven
vials) and if the 7th trumpet (the Rapture occurs on the blowing of
the 7th or last trump) is proportional at 30 days, it leaves 75 days
in which the saved will still be on the earth during this 6th
trumpet event. The events detailing the drying up of the Euphrates River occurs
after the Rapture and a few weeks before the end of the Great Tribulation
Period.
These riders upon the horses are
"spirits" associated with the angel Gabriel while they were still
perfect. After their fall, they are called "demons." The horses are
"spirits" associated with the angel Lucifer while they were still
perfect. After the fall, they are called "demons." These two groups
of demonic beings are working together to use the earth, by way of shifting the
earth's crust to produce earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to destroy humanity
upon it...
7th Trumpet: And the seventh angel sounded the blast of a trumpet;
and there were great and mighty tones of sounds and voices in heaven, saying;
The royalty of rule and the realm of the kingdoms of this orderly arrangement
of the world, including its’ inhabitants, are become the kingdoms of our Lord
and Master, the One in Supreme Authority and of His Christ, the Anointed One;
and He shall reign and rule as King forever and ever, as the age of the
Messianic period, to the perpetual ages of ages. And the four and twenty elders
of the celestial council, who sat before, in the sight and in the presence of
the very exceeding God on their seats, fell upon their faces and worshipped
Deity; the very exceeding great God and made adoration to Him, Saying, We give
thee thanks and express gratitude to Thee, O Lord, Supreme One in Authority,
Deity; God Almighty, All-Ruling One, Omnipotent and Absolute, Universal
Sovereign, which art Being, and was I, and art to come; because you have taken
by force and miraculous power; to thee, thy great and mighty power, and have
begun to reign and rule as King. And the nations and the human race of all
pagans, are provoked and enraged to anger; and thy justifiable, violent wrath
and punishment is come; and
the proper time of the dead, that they should be judged and to give payment for
service, hire, wages and rewards unto thy slaves, bond servants the prophet,
those inspired speakers and to the saints, the set apart ones and them that are
in awe and fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to
perish, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth
and have caused it to become thoroughly rotten. And the temple of Deity; the
very exceeding great God; was opened in the abode of heaven and there was seen
and appeared in His shrine and temple, the sacred ark of His contract, covenant
and testament; and
there were bright, glaring, shining lightning; and a tone of sounds, noises,
voices and thundering; and an earthquake, a shaking, a commotion and tempest;
and exceedingly great, large, mighty hail. [Rev. 11:15-19].
The
Sounding Of The Trumpets – Are You Ready?: In I Corinthians 15:51-52, the Apostle Paul
speaks a mystery: “at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed.” For speculation, are there trumpets, which
have already sounded before the last trump?
In I Thessalonians 4:16-18, the
Apostle Paul writes, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one
another with these words.”
In Revelation 8:1, seven Angels are
given seven trumpets. Each trumpet announces the beginning of certain events
which can be for a “worldwide” or “local” area. They can be for events on the
surface of the earth, in the oceans, in the atmosphere or in the spiritual
world.
8:7– 1st trumpet – volcanic activity begins on the earth destroying one third
of the trees and all the green grass surrounding the volcano.
8:8-9–
2nd trumpet – volcanic
activity begins in the oceans killing one third of sea life and producing
worldwide tsunami waves, which destroy a third of the ships in port.
8:10-11-
3rd trumpet –a great
comet strikes the earth, melts and is absorbed into the hydrological cycle,
producing hydrocyanic acid, poisoning one third of the earth’s water supply,
proceeded by a meteor storm as the comet begins its atmospheric entrance.
8:12–
4th trumpet – a
dramatic increase in worldwide volcanic activity, creates a dust haze over a
third of the earth.
9:1-12–
5th trumpet – a massive
chain of worldwide volcanic eruptions and releasing of demonic beings from the
earth’s interior, which torment lost humanity for five months.
9:13-21–
6th trumpet – release of
four demonic kings, which lead approximately 200 million demons to kill a third
of the human population with fire, smoke and an intense sulfurous suffocating
odor.
11:15-19–
7th trumpet – announces
the time of the judging of the dead and to give rewards to saved souls in the
presence of Jesus Christ in the spiritual kingdom, understood as the Rapture
and the occurrence of an earthquake and great volcanic hail upon the earth.
The Seven Trumpets Of The Great
Tribulation Period
After the first “great earthquake” occurs,
there follows “seven trumpets” which are:
01. Volcanic eruptions on
the land surface, which destroy the trees and grass from the heat blast, lava
flow and ash fall. The Saved are still on the earth.
02. Volcanic eruptions on
the ocean floor, which poisons the water and produces tsunamis. The
Saved are still on the earth.
03. A comet strikes the
earth, melts and releases its’ poisonous gases into the hydrological cycle. It
probably falls directly over Eurasia, which is 1/3 of the earth and where the
most evil population of the world exists. The Saved are still on the
earth.
04. This is a dramatic
increase of volcanic eruptions, producing towering ash clouds, surrounding one
third of the earths’ surface. The Saved are still on the earth.
05. This is the release of
demonic beings from the interior of the earth. They will torment lost humanity
for the remaining five months or 150 days, to the very end of the Great
Tribulation Period. This is the first “Woe” upon
the earth. The Saved are still on the earth.
06. This is the release of
four chief demonic beings which command 200 million demons to kill 1/3 of
humanity with fire, smoke and brimstone, which are from volcanic eruptions and
volcanic lava flows. This is the second “Woe” upon
the earth. The Saved are still on the earth.
07. This is a massive increase
of volcanic eruptions resulting in volcanic bombs being cast out upon the
earth. The “great hail” is not hail
stones from thunderstorms, but molten rock flying through the air from the
towering volcanic eruptions. This “seventh trumpet”
announces the Rapture of what few “Saved”- believers have survived
thus far. This is the third “Woe” upon
the earth.
The Vials of the Wrath of God
1st Vial: And the first went, and poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the
whole land of the earth; and there came to be, an ulcer and sore that draws
together which was injurious, malignant, hurtful and a painful disease; upon
human beings, who had the mark as a badge of servitude of the beast and upon
them who prostrate themselves, to do reverence, to adore and to worship his
image.
[Rev. 16:2].
2nd Vial: And the second angel poured out his broad shallow
cup and vial upon the sea; and it became and was caused to be as blood; and
every, all, and the whole breath of life, began to die off in the sea.
[Rev. 16:3].
3rd Vial: And the third angel poured out his broad shallow cup and
vial upon the running waters of the streams and rivers, and upon the fountains
and supply of waters; and they became as blood. [Rev. 16:4].
This trumpet indicates, a Comet will
be on a direct course to the earth... Humanity will be able to see the comet
before it hits the earth. As the Comet hits the earth's atmosphere, the dust
particles will appear to be falling stars and the poison within the comet will
be mixed into the clouds, falling with the rain. It will probably fall on
the Old World countries of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Northern
Africa, or one third of the earth.
4th Vial:
And the fourth angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon
the light, of the rising sun in the east; and power was given unto him to
scorch human beings with fire. And human beings were burned and scorched with a
great and mighty burning, glowing heat; and they began to blaspheme and speak
evil and defame, the name of the very exceeding great God; who has the
authority, mastery and power over this stroke of a calamity and these plagues:
and they did not repent or think differently or reconsider to give Him glory,
honor and worshipful praise. [Rev. 16:8-9].
5th Vial: And the fifth angel poured forth his broad shallow
cup and vial upon the seat of power of the beast; and his kingdom and realm of
rule was obscured, blind and full of darkness; and they chewed and gnawed
their tongues because of the anguish and pain; And blasphemed and spoke evil,
to defame the very exceeding God of the abode of heaven, because of their
anguish, and pain, and their ulcerous sores, and did not repent or think
differently, nor reconsider, because of their acts, deeds and labors.
[Rev. 16:10-11].
6th Vial: And the sixth angel poured out his broad shallow
cup and vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the running water thereof was
dried up; that the way, journey and route of the kings of the eastern
rising of the sun, might be prepared and made ready. And he gathered, collected
and led them together into a place for a purpose, called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon or Har-Meggiddon, that is, Megiddo. [Rev.
16:12&16].
When the Islamic - (Arab) -
(Antichrist) - leader, along with the ten Arab confederation of nations
and the other Eurasian nations who respond to his call for the Battle of
Armageddon, it will be getting near the time in which the Lord will
return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Lord will cause the Mount of
Olives to split in two and the western section of Jerusalem will be lifted,
exposing a newly formed spring. This will be the spring in which the Prophet
Ezekiel mentions and will flow east to connect with the Jordan River, which has
been increased to a great river, because the Euphrates River has been diverted
to form this single mighty river.
Ezekiel 47: [1] Afterward he brought me again unto the door of
the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters
came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the
altar. [2] Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and
led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward;
and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. [3] And when the
man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand
cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. [4]
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters
were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the
waters were to the loins. [5] Afterward he measured a thousand; and it
was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to
swim in, a river that could not be passed over. [6] And he said unto
me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to
return to the brink of the river. [7] Now when I had returned, behold,
at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
[8] Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east
country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought
forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. [9] And it shall come to
pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall
come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because
these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and everything shall
live whither the river cometh. [10] And it shall come to pass, that the
fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a
place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as
the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. [11] But the miry places
thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to
salt. [12] And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on
that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither
shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according
to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the
fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
Zechariah 14: [1] Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy
spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all
nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the
houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into
captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. [3]
Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he
fought in the day of battle. [4] And his feet shall stand in that day
upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount
of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the
west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall
remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. [5] And ye
shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains
shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the
earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come,
and all the saints with thee. [6] And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: [7] But it shall be one day
which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to
pass, that at evening time it shall be light. [8] And it shall be in
that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward
the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter
shall it be. [9] And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that
day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. [10] All the land shall
be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be
lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of
the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the
king's winepresses.
After
all the geological changes have occurred, resulting in the diverted Euphrates
River and the new spring from Jerusalem, the Jordan River will begin to flow
out of the Dead Sea into the Gulf of Aqaba. The Sinai Peninsula will be pushed
into the African continent allowing this new river to flow freely. The Sinai
Peninsula is “the tongue of the Egyptian sea.” The earthquake that
occurs when the Mount of Olives splits in half will cause the southern section
of the Dead Sea Fault Zone to also split apart and/or possibly subside,
allowing the Jordan River to flow south into the Gulf of Aqaba and finally into
the Red Sea.
Isaiah 11: [15] And the LORD shall utterly destroy the
tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand
over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over
dry-shod. [16] And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his
people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day
that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 47: [10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers
shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to
spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of
the great sea, exceeding many.
When the Euphrates River, the Jordan
River and Ezekiel’s spring combine their water sources, in addition to
hundreds, perhaps thousands of newly formed springs, along with the transformation
of the southern end of the Dead Sea Fault Zone, the “New River” will be able to support an abundance of freshwater fish for the 1,000 years
in which Israel will become the breadbasket of the world.
7th Vial: And the seventh angel poured out his broad shallow
cup and vial into the blowing air; and there came a great and mighty voice out
of the shrine and temple of the sky of heaven, from the abode of God, from the
throne of power, saying: “It is done!” “It hath come!” And there were
voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and a bright,
shining glare, lightning’s; and there was an exceeding great, large and
mighty earthquake and earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a commotion and
tempest; such as this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not since human
beings were upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so exceedingly great,
large and mighty, so full of power. And the great city was divided into
three parts, and the cities of the Gentile, heathen and pagan people fell down:
and great Babylon, the capital of tyranny, came in remembrance as to recall, to
be mindful to punish, before Deity; the very exceeding great God; to give
unto her the cupful of the wine of the passionate fierceness and indignation of
His wrath. And every and all; even the whole of isles and islands
fled away and vanished; and the mountains, as lifting itself above the plain,
were not and could not be obtained or found; and there descended
and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty hail out of
the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like: and human
beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of Deity; the very exceeding
great God; because of the plague, stroke and calamity of the hail;
for the plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in
high degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible.
[Rev.16:17-21].
The
Wrath Of God:
The Apostle John explains the wrath of God in a picture of catastrophic
terror and horrors coming upon the earth because of the wickedness of humanity
and in order to make necessary changes in the geological structure in the land
of Israel. This period of the wrath of God lasts only for 45 days. These
events occur after the Rapture of the Saved from the earth. They are a
continuation and an increase of intensity of the seven trumpets which have just
been completed. The entire text is found in Revelation 16:1-21.
16:2–
1st plague – a shift in
the magnetic field of the earth, from the earthquakes, leaving the earth
temporarily without its protective shield, resulting in cosmic radiation
mutilating the human flesh of those who worship the beast or antichrist.
16:3–
2nd plague – the
heating of the oceans by undersea lava causing the reproduction of various dinoflagellates
at a fantastic rate, producing oxidation and red tide, respectively.
16:4-7–
3rd plague –a
poisoning of the earth’s freshwater supply by a comets release of methyl
cyanide, hydrogen cyanide and a whole range of cyanogenic poisonous gases into
the hydrological cycle.
16:8-9–
4th plague – destruction
of the ozone layer by volcanic activity, allowing penetration of ultraviolet
radiation causing a burning skin cancer.
16:10-11–
5th plague – a massive
pyroclastic holocaust from volcanic lava upon wicked humanity.
16:12-16–
6th plague –the
releasing of three evil spirits, causing people to worship the antichrist and
to gather for the battle of Armageddon, including the diversion of the
Euphrates River towards the Jordan River valley.
16:17-21– 7th plague – the greatest earthquake to ever have occurred since humanity
has been on earth will take place in the Jordan river valley, causing the city
of Jerusalem to split into three sections and producing a chain reaction of
earthquakes, which will cause the cities of the nations of the world to fall
into ruin, ending with catastrophic global volcanic activity, developing a
single dust cloud encircling the entire planet earth.
Volcanic Hailstorm… calaza
chalaza khal'-ad-zah… Hail: chalaza khal’-ad-zah to lower (as into a void): to
let down from a higher place to a lower; hail. [Greek: chalaza, hard lump,
hailstone.]
Revelation 8:7 The first angel
sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they
were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all
green grass was burnt up.
Revelation 11:19 And the temple of
God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:
and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and
great hail.
Revelation 16:21 And there fell upon
men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a
talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for
the plague thereof was exceeding great.
What is this “hail”? It is mingled with a substance of a blood red color.
It was cast upon the earth. It
is associated with a third part of the trees being burned up. It is associated with all the green
grass being burned up. It
is associated with lightning, a tone of thunder, an earthquake and is
great. It fell out of heaven. It
had a tremendous effect upon humanity, because the plague was extremely great.
When
the Great Tribulation Period begins, there will be absolutely no doubt as to
what this “hail" really is. Just plain and simple: this “hail”will be molten rocks of volcanic “hailstones” that will cast
out from the volcanic vents of the earth.
The
majority of these events will be along the earths’ tectonic plate boundaries.
This “hail” noticeably begins on the 1st trumpet; it
intensifies with the sounding of the 7th trumpet and becomes “exceeding
great” upon the pouring out of the 7th vial of the wrath of God.
A volcanic bomb is a globe of
molten rock (tephra) larger than 65 mm (2.5 inches) in diameter, formed when
volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption. They cool
into solid fragments before they reach the ground. Lava bombs can be thrown
many kilometers from erupting vents, and often acquires aerodynamic shapes
during their flight. Bombs can be extremely large; the 1935 eruption of Asama
in Japan expelled bombs measuring 5-6 meters in diameter up to distances of 600
meters from the vent. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Great Tribulation Period -- The
Seals, The Trumpets and The Vials
The 6th Seal Revelation 6:12-17
[12] And I beheld when he had opened
the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[13] And the stars of heaven fell unto
the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of
a mighty wind.
[14] And the heaven departed as a
scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out
of their places.
[15] And the kings of the earth, and
the great men, and the rich men,and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and
every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains;
[16] And said to the mountains and
rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne,
and from the wrath of the Lamb:
[17] For the great day of his wrath is
come; and who shall be able to stand?
Phase One: 6th
Seal, 1st Trumpet, 1st Vial
[Rev. 6:12] And I
beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became
as blood;
[Rev. 8:7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and
fire mingled with blood,and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part
of trees was burnt up,and all green grass was burnt up.
[Rev. 16:2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the
earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men, which had the
mark of the beast, and upon them, which worshiped his image.
The worldwide shifting of the tectonic
plates will produce the “great earthquake.” The ruptures along the
plate boundaries across land areas will create massive volcanic eruptions.These
eruptions will destroy one-third of the trees (in the volcanic blast zone) and
all the green grass (from the ash fall) on the earth. The volcanic ash in the upper
atmosphere will change the appearance of the sun and moon (as people look
upward through a dense cloud of volcanic ash; the sun will fade into a blackish
shade and the moon will appear reddish or like it was blood). Finally, the
amount of hydrogen chloride gas pushed up into the ozone layer by violent
eruptions will so weaken the structure of the layer that ultraviolet radiation
will be able to reach the earth’s surface in large quantities. This ultraviolet
radiation will produce a noisome and grievous cancer sore on all the lost who
have been left behind after the Rapture.
Phase Two: 6th Seal, 2nd Trumpet, 2nd
Vial
[Rev. 8:8-9] And the
second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was
cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third
part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third
part of the ships were destroyed.
[Rev. 16:3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea;
and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the
sea.
One-third of the creatures in the sea
will be destroyed by the volcanically induced reactions in the immediate
vicinity of seafloor fault lines. As time passes, ocean currents will carry the
smothering volcanic material throughout the oceans of the world, leading to
total destruction of sea life. One-third of the ships in port will be destroyed
by the tsunamis waves, resulting from the eruptions of seafloor volcanoes.
Phase Three: 6th Seal, 3rd Trumpet, 3rd
Vial
[Rev. 6:13] And the
stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely
figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[Rev. 8:10-11] And the
third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it
were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the
fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because
they were made bitter.
[Rev. 16:4] And the
third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and
they became blood.
The “stars” and “a great
star” and “Wormwood” is a comet, which will hit the earth’s
atmosphere and melts completely before reaching the earth’s surface. Embedded
within the frozen mass of gasses that form the comet’s nucleus, there are
thousands, perhaps millions of tiny pieces of meteoric rock. These rocks will
not melt like the frozen gases; instead, they will appear as “falling
stars”“third” of the “rivers and upon the fountains of waters”among
the continental land masses. that burn themselves out in the earth’s
atmosphere. The entrance of the comet into the earth’s atmosphere will be
heralded as a meteor storm and its final effect will be the poisoning of much
of the earth’s water supply as the dense fog like gases descend upon the rivers
and lakes within the continental land masses. It is most likely; this comet
will fall upon the Eurasia continent, as it would fit the “third”of
the “rivers and upon the fountains of waters” among the continental
land masses.
Phase
Four:
6th Seal, 4th Trumpet, 4th Vial
[Rev. 6:14] And the
heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and
island were moved out of their places.
[Rev. 8:12] And the
fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third
part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them
was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night
likewise.
[Rev. 16:8-9] And the
fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to
scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the
name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give
him glory.
This is a two-roll Jewish scroll that
rolls together toward the center. As one looks upon an open scroll, much
writing is in full view of the reader’s eyes. However, as one slowly rolls the
two ends toward each other, the writing slowly but surely disappears from view
bit by bit--- and finally disappears completely when the two rolls meet. When
numerous volcanoes begin to erupt at the first trumpet, the upper stratosphere
will not immediately be filled with ash. It will take time but gradually the
suspended volcanic cloud bands of ash will roll themselves together --- and one
by one all the heavenly bodies will fade from view. The spread of volcanic
clouds in the stratosphere will occur in stages. When the fourth trumpet
sounds, the distribution of suspended ash will be such that at any given
location the heavenly bodies will only be visible about one-third of a
twenty-four-hour period. The complete filling of the earth’s atmosphere does
not occur until shortly after the fifth trumpet. By the last drop of the fourth
vial, the injection of volcanic hydrogen chloride by violent upward projection
will have virtually destroyed the ozone layer. Without this protective ozone
shield, ultraviolet radiation will pour down upon those left behind after the
Rapture. The beginning of skin cancer at the first vial will have reached
plague proportions by the fourth vial. Ultraviolet radiation is a scorching
fire as compared to the radiation we now receive from the sun at the earth’s
surface.
Phase
Five: 6th Seal, 5th Trumpet, 5th
Vial
[Rev.6:14-15] And the
heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and
island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the
great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and
every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains;
Revelation 9:1-12
[1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I
saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit.
[2] And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and
the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
[3] And there came out of the smoke
locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the
earth have power.
[4] And it was commanded them that
they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither
any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
[5] And to them it was given that they
should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their
torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
[6] And in those days shall men seek
death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee
from them.
[7] And the shapes of the locusts were
like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were
crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
[8] And they had hair as the hair of
women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
[9] And they had breastplates, as it
were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of
chariots of many horses running to battle.
[10] And they had tails like unto
scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt
men five months.
[11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless
pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath
his name Apollyon.
[12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more
hereafter.
[Rev. 16:10-11] And the
fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was
full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the
God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds.
When all the tectonic plates of the
earth have completed their massive worldwide slippage, not one island or
mountain will have its original geographical location. Their fixed latitudinal
and longitudinal set of coordinates in degrees of minutes and seconds will be
changed. This great shifting will produce a volcanic chain of eruptions that
will send mankind into the dens and rocks of the mountains. The bottomless pit
is the earth’s interior being a great fiery furnace. When the crust along the
tectonic boundaries open, there will be catastrophic volcanic eruptions like
the world has never seen. Only dim outlines of the heavenly bodies will be seen
from the earth. When these boundaries are opened, spiritual demonic beings will
be released and torment lost humanity for the last five months remaining of the
Great Tribulation Period.
In Revelation 8:13, the Scriptures
proclaim a warning by saying: Woe, woe, woe to those who inhabit the earth by
reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to
sound! This 5th trumpet sounds and releases these demonic beings through
the volcanic vents from the earth’s interior. They torment lost humanity for five months
or 150 days. This event begins a period of “five months” (5 x 30 = 150 days)
before the end of the Great Tribulation Period, which is 75 days before the
“last trump” (I Corinthians 15:51-52 & II Thessalonians 4:16-18) announcing
the Rapture of the saved from the earth, since the demons are instructed not to
hurt the saved, “but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads.” The full text of this 5th trumpet “Woe” is found in
Revelation 9:1-11. The “Saved”will
be on the earth during this event!
Phase
Six: 6th Seal, 6thTrumpet,
6th Seal
Revelation 9:13-21
[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I
heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
[14] Saying to the sixth angel which
had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates.
[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.
[16] And the number of the army of the
horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
[17] And thus I saw the horses in the
vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth,
and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out
of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
[18] By these three was the third part
of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which
issued out of their mouths.
[19] For their power is in their mouth,
and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and
with them they do hurt.
[20] And the rest of the men which were
not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that
they should not worship devils,and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and
stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
[21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their
sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
[Rev. 16:12 & 16] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great
river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings
of the east might be prepared. And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
At some time in eons past God confined
four of Satan’s angels to a material place --- the Euphrates River. They are
imprisoned here for a specific purpose --- to destroy one-third of the Holy
Land population. These four demonic beings and their 200-million demonic army
will use the natural elements of volcanic fire to destroy people in this
area. A large number of people will be jammed along the upper Euphrates
and down the Jordan through the valley of Armageddon. This massive army will be
there at the request of the Antichrist or Islamic leader to finally destroy the
people of Israel. During this time, the splitting of the Great Rift Valley from
Lebanon to the Gulf of Aqabah will cause the collapse of the Palmyra folds and
faults. The Euphrates River will be diverted towards the Jordan River and the
Dead Sea into the Gulf of Aqabah. The southern three-fourths of the Euphrates
River will dry up and allow the kings of the east to travel west to Jerusalem
to worship the returned Messiah for the next one thousand years.
Phase
Seven:
7th Seal, 7thTrumpet, 7th
Vial
[Rev. 6:17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall
be able to stand?
[Rev. 11:15 & 19] And the
seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and he shall reign forever and ever. And the temple of God was opened in
heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there
were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great
hail.
[Rev. 16:17-21] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne,
saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and
there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so
mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three
parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in
remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness
of his wrath. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
This is the last stage of His great
wrath and there will be very few people left alive on the earth. This phase
begins with an increase in the intensity of volcanic eruptions producing
volcanic hail or bombs and finally brings about the greatest earthquake in the
history of humanity. It will occur in the Jordan River Valley and will
split the city of Jerusalem into three sections. This great earthquake
will start a chain reaction of earthquakes throughout the global tectonic plate
boundaries, resulting in the destruction the cities of the world and the city
of Rome, Italy will be completely destroyed by volcanic fire by the Colli
Albani volcano, eventually sinking beneath the earths’ surface and engulf by
the Tiber River. This chain reaction will end with great volcanic hail or
melting rocks being thrown out upon the unbelieving people of the world during
this forty-five day period of the Wrath of God.
The
Great Tribulation of Volcanic Hail
During the Great Tribulation Period, the
words, “great hail” are mentioned as occurring on the Seventh Trumpet
in Revelation 11:19 and on the Seventh Vial of Wrath in Revelation 16:21.
These two words describe something out of the ordinary.
First, it expresses the idea of being “great.” This is not something typical as if
being a thunderstorm.
Second, the “hail” is associated with: [“shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth; lightning and voices
and thundering and an earthquake; Rev.11:19.]---[and there were voices and thunders and lightnings and
there was a great
earthquake, such as was
not since men were upon the earth, so mighty and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts and
the cities of the nations fell. And every island fled away and the
mountains were not found; every stone about the weight of a talent: and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for
the plague thereof was exceeding great. Rev. 16:18-21.]
70 Weeks of Years - Created: March 2009: The
following is a chronological list towards an attempt to explain one of the
greatest mysteries of the Judeo-Christian faith as was prophesied some 2,550
years ago. There are countless references to this subject in the ranks of
religious theology, which provide an ample and a diversity of concepts as to
the correct interpretation. Hopefully, this material will be of interest
to you and an influence in your life towards a renewal relationship with the
Spirit of God.
Daniel’s prophesy of the seventy
weeks of years. About 538 B.C. Daniel 9:24-27.
The Temple discourse is given just
before Messiah is cut off or crucified. Matthew 24:1-3, Mark 13:1-5, Luke
21:5-7.
Jesus is rejected after fulfilling
1185 days of Daniel’s 69th week, thus leaving 1335 days of the week
to be fulfilled by the false messiah, the man of sin, or the antichrist.
God no longer accepts the daily sacrifice after Jesus was cut off on the 1185th
day of His earthly ministry.
The 1186th day begins the
ministry of the antichrist. Matthew 26-27, Mark 14-15, Luke 22-23, 18-19.
A noticeable increase in famines,
pestilences or various diseases and earthquakes. Matthew 24:3-6, Mark
13:6-7, Luke 21:8-9.
The beginning of sorrows, referring
to a warning of events in the very near future. Matthew24:7-8, Mark 13:8,
Luke 21:10-11.
The nation of Israel believes it has
established “peace with security” and the antichrist persuades ten Arab nations
to trick Israel by appearing to recognize their right in the land under the
Abrahamic covenant which begins the last 1335 days of Daniel’s 69 week.
Revelation 17:12-14, I Thessalonians 5:3-5.
The 144,000 descendants of Israel are
selected and protected by God from physical death. Revelation 7:2-4,
12:5-17.
Syria has full control of the Golan
Heights and after75 days, conducts an invasion or Holy War towards Jerusalem.
This will be the beginning of the Great Tribulation Period. Zechariah 14:1-4,
Revelation13:3-5. The times of the Gentiles begin and last for 1,260
days. Revelation11:2. Ezekiel 38:1-17, Revelation 17:17.
The previously sealed remnant of
144,000 Israelites are carried to a place of safety by friendly nations acting
under the influence of God’s Spirit and care is provided for them in the Negev
for 1,260 days. Revelation 12:5-14.
The false prophet, a religious
leader accepted by the Arabs proclaims him to be the returned messiah. The
false prophet begins to perform numerous miracles to support his identification
of the antichrist and the mark of the beast begins to be applied.
Matthew24:15-18, Mark 13:14-23, Revelation 13:11-18.
The antichrist and his ten Arab
nations turn against the false prophet with his religious system and destroy
their worship sites. Revelation 18:12-18.
The seventh trumpet sounds, also
understood as the last trump and the Rapture of the saved from the earth
occurs. Revelation 11:15-18, 14:13-16, I Corinthians15:51-52, I
Thessalonians 4:16-17.
The wrath of God begins and the
nations of Eurasia and the Mideast gather for the final destruction of the Jews
in the Negev or the battle of Armageddon.
The religious system in Rome is
completely destroyed by volcanic fire. Ezekiel 38:18-23, Zechariah
14:4-15, Joel3:9-17, Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24-25, Luke 21:25-26, Revelation
16:1-21, 18:1-10.
The fullness of the Gentiles, the
end of the church age, the age of grace or the end of the world. Romans
11:25.
The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
as King of kings and Lord of lords to reign for 1,000 years. Matthew
24:30-31, Mark 13:26-27, Luke 21:27-28, Revelation 19-20.
Every soul from man’s creation not
having acknowledged the promised Sacrifice and Savior of humanity will appear
before the great white throne and be cast into the eternal lake of fire as
their just punishment. Revelation 20:11-15.
The creation of a new heaven and a
new earth. The heavenly city is prepared, with pearly gates and streets
of gold. The faithful enter into the city and the unfaithful remain
outside on the earth. The Lord Jesus Christ is worshiped upon the throne
in the center of the city for the duration of eternity. He imparts new
spiritual instructions as the Master and Great Teacher of the
universe. Revelation 21-22.
When the majority of the American
troops have left the Iraq, this will give the Arabs a sense of freedom to
proceed with the attack upon Israel. America will not have time to assemble,
nor be willing to send troops into this short term war.
“Seventy
weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the
transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for
iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision
and prophecy, and to anoint the most High. Know therefore and understand,
that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem
unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two
weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous
times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not
for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy
the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto
the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel9:24-27.
How Much Of Daniel’s 70 Weeks Remain?
“From” to “Unto” = Messiah =
69 Weeks
“After” 69 Weeks = Into
The 70th Week
This States That Messiah Began The 70th Week and
At Some Time During It, Was Crucified For The Sins Of Others.

The Covenant fulfilling time period
of Daniel’s Messiah the Prince from His baptism to His death, in prophetic
years of 360 days, was 1080 + 105 days, or some 1185days. This possibly
could be the case, because it meets the qualifications of being in the “midst”
of the week, and can be correlated with three sets of figures given by Daniel
pertaining to the last week in his seventy weeks of years. It is quite
possible, we only have 1335 days left to be fulfilled in Daniel’s70th
week.
“And
from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination
that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety
days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three
hundred and five and thirty days.”
Daniel12:11-12.
Time-Line
Of Events Of The Final 70th Week
1.
Christ was crucified after completing 1185-days of the 70th
week. He fulfilled the first three and one-half years of the last seven
years. He was killed in the midst of the week.
2.
The clock stops when Messiah is crucified. God ceases to accept the
daily sacrifices and oblations. The clock does not resume its ticking
until Israel believes peace with security has arrived.
3.
Last1335-days of the final 70th week begin.
4.
Antichrist attacks Israel after 75-days with a surprise blitzkrieg
plunge from the north and drives the escaping Jews into the Negev for
1260-days.
5.
The abomination of desolation is set up 1290-days after peace and
security has arrived.
6.
The7th trumpet sounds, announcing the 1st
resurrection. Understood by many as the Rapture of the saved.
7.
The battle of Armageddon with the destruction of the Antichrist and his
army.
8.
Christ returns at the Second Advent and begins His millennial reign as
King of kings and Lord of lords.

05, 06, 07, 08---- {1290Days}
--- {45 Days}
The
Tribulation Period begins when Israel believes it has peace with security,
beginning the final 1335-days. The Antichrist attacks from the north
after 75-days and keeps the escaping Jews in the Negev for 1260-days. The
Rapture occurs after 1290-days. The wrath of God takes place during the
last 45-days. The Lord Jesus Christ returns to begin His 1,000 year reign
upon the earth.
We
only have 1335 days of Daniel’s 70 Week left unfilled and recent events in the
Middle East have helped me to better understand the manner in which the three
figures of days 1260, 1290, and 1335 are intertwined during the last 1335 days
of the Age of the Gentiles.
1260
Days = Time, Times, and a Half = 42 Months = 3 & ½ Prophetic Years of 360

Daniel
12:4-13 – But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the
time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
[5] Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this
side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the
river. [6] And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters
of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? [7] And I heard
the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held
up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth
for ever that it shall be for A TIME, TIMES, AND A HALF; and when he shall have
accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be
finished. [8] And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what
shall be the end of these things? [9] And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the
words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. [10] Many shall be
purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none
of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. [11] And from
the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS.
[12] Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND
FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS. [13] But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shall
rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Revelation
11:2,3,7-15,18 – But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they
tread under foot forty and two months. [3] And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth. [7] And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them,
and shall overcome them, and kill them. [8] And their dead bodies shall lie in
the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified. [9] And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. [10] And they that
dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send
gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on
the earth. [11] And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God
entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon
them which saw them. [12] And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto
them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud (#1); and their
enemies beheld them. [13] And the same hour (#2) was there a great earthquake,
and the tenth part of the city fell and in the earthquake were slain of men
seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of
heaven. [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly
(#3). [15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in
heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,
and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever. [18] And the nations
were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should
be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets,
and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest
destroy them which destroy the earth.

A
composite of the Hebrew words for Joel 2:30: And I will show a token, a sign and
wonder in the visible arch of the sky where the clouds move and throughout all
the earth, in the fields, in the country, in the wilderness and it will have
the appearance of blood, along with a burning, hot flaming fire, with
columns of cloudy dust, smoke and vapor.
A
composite of the Hebrew words for Joel 2:31: The brilliant sun, from the rising
of the sun in the east to the sun rays in the arch ways of the sky, will be
changed into darkness, as if it were night and the moon will take on the
appearance of blood before the great and noble, fearful and terrible day in
which Jehovah, the self-Existing One, the Eternal Lord shall come.
A
composite of the Greek words for Acts 2:19: And I will bring forth a rare event
so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder, for it will be in the elevated area
of the sky and a token of these events, will be throughout the entire regions
under the surface of the soil, of all the land of the world, for it will be a
visible wonder of flowing substance like blood, of flashes of lightening and
fire, with a mist of smoke.
A
composite of the Greek words for Acts 2:20: The rising of the sun in the east
and the rays of daily light will become as an outlining shadow and the bright
shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color, before that mighty and
visible day in which the One in supreme authority will come.
The Sign
of The Second Coming of the Lord: The following is an expanded translation,
based upon all of the information from seventeen different translations,
including the definitions of the Greek words and all related Scriptures, in
regards to the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ:
1. What will be the sign and token to indicate and signify,
when these predictions and events are about to take place, to be accomplished
and fulfilled; regarding the coming and bodily presence of your return?
2. And of the entire, full, completed and specific period of
time, of the end of the age and of the end of the world?
3. For the Gentle nations, the heathen and pagan people will
rise up and move up against and among one another’s bordering nations and
kingdom against kingdom, one place of reign touching another.
4. There will be famines, a lack of food, causing destitution
of people being without food.
5. An outburst of diseases, plagues, pestilences and troubles.
6. And great earth-shocks, earthquakes and a great shaking of
the ground, causing it to tremble, shake sideways and back and forth, for the
earth will be shaking in divers or different and various places, down through
its’ distribution in many locations.
7. And there will be great signs of terror and fearful sights
from heaven.
8. All these are the beginning, of the grief, the first of the
troubles and sorrows, like the early pains and travail of childbirth.
9. And there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood; and
the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as
a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved
out of their places. And should destroy and bring to ruin them which morally
corrupt the earth. And there were lightning and voices and thundering and an
earthquake and great hail.
10. Watch ye therefore and take heed to
yourselves, for you do not know what hour your Lord will come. It may be during
the evening or at midnight or in the early morning; What I say unto you I say
to all, Watch. Therefore, be ye always ready and do not let your hearts be
burdened and weighted down with a life filled with self-indulgence and
pleasure, with a state of drunkenness and the cares and worries of life; in
case the Lord comes and finds you sleeping, for in such an hour in which you
are unaware and are not thinking, the Lord will come. For these things of life
will be a snare and trap upon all who dwell upon the earth. Watch and pray that
you may be accounted worthy to escape these things that will come to pass and
to be allowed to stand before the Son of man. And when these things begin to
come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
11. For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: In an almost indivisible moment of time, at the instant of the
jerking and twinkling of the eye, at the farthest, final, last, towards the
latter end of the uttermost trumpet, for the trumpet will sound; To seize; to
take for oneself, catch
(away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force); take or grasp something {someone}
abruptly or hastily with emphasis on the idea of suddenness or quickness; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: the dead will be
waken and rise up to a state of undecaying immortality and we shall be changed
and made different; Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord.
12. But as the days of Noe were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and
took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. And GOD saw
that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the
LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And
the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the
earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it repenteth me that I have made them. The earth also was corrupt before
God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth,
and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the
earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the
earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them
with the earth.
13. Immediately after the pressure,
affliction, anguish, burden, persecution, oppression, distress, tribulation and
trouble of those days; as a sign, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall
not give her light and the stars of heaven shall fall from the firmament of the
sky; and upon the earth there will be distress of the nations, having a mental
state of having no way out, as in bewilderment and confusion, because of the
loud roaring of the sea and roaring waves; and the forces and powers that
control heaven will be shaken, moved in disorder and will be disturbed.
14. And there were voices, and thunders,
and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men
were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great
Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of
the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were
not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
15. And then shall they see the sign of
the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and great glory and
all the tribes of the earth shall smite the breast and mourn.
16. And shall he send forth his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet and gather his elect from the uttermost end of
the heavens.
Lightning
Fire: Then the LORD caused it to rain upon Sodom
and upon Gomorrah an inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a burning, hot
flaming fire from the LORD Jehovah out of the sky of heaven; And he looked
toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld,
and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and vapor of the land went up as the fume
and smoke of a smelting furnace.---
Thou shall be visited
by the Lord Jehovah of Hosts with a peal of thunder, with earthquake and
vibration, with fierceness, shaking and vapor; and great noise, with whirlwind,storm and tempest and the flash of bright, flaming, devouring, burning
fire.---
and I will rain upon him and upon his army and
crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit, that are with him, an
over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain, and a great weight of a
peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery, flaming fire and an inflammable,
sulfur resin of brimstone.---
And I will show a token, a
sign and wonders in the air of the heavens, in the visible arch of the sky,
where the clouds move; and in the field, in the ground, in the wilderness and
throughout all the land of the earth; it will have the appearance of blood
along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns and pillars of clouds, of
angry dust, smoke and vapor.---
For,
behold, the day shall come, it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot and an
oven; and all the arrogant and proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be as
stubble: and the day that comes, shall burn and set them ablaze with a flaming fire,
saith the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root or
branch.---
and there will be great signs of terror and
fearful sights from heaven.---
But, moreover, the same day that
the patriarch Lot went out of Sodom, it rained a lightning fiery fire and a
sulfurous hellish brimstone, from the sky of heaven and destroyed, and caused
them all to perish. Even like and even thus, in the same way and manner,
shall it be, in the day when the Son of Man is disclosed and revealed.---
And I will bring forth a rare event, so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder; for
it will be in the elevated area of the sky, in heaven above and a token and
sign of these events will be throughout the entire regions under the surface of
the soil, of all the land of the world, in the earth beneath; for it will be a
visible wonder of flowing substance like blood and of flashes of lightening and
fire, with a mist of vapor of smoke: The rising of the sun in the east and
the rays of light, will become as an outlining shadow and shall be turned into
darkness, and the bright shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color;
before that great, mighty and notable, visible day of the Lord, the One in
Supreme Authority will come:---
And the sky of heaven rent
apart, departed and separated as a writing scroll when it is rolled
together;---
And he opened up the holes in the ground, the
cisterns and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the
bottomless pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground, in
the manner as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace; and the sunlight
as rising in the east and the blowing air from its’ original place was darkened
from the smoke of the holes in the ground, the cisterns, the wells, the abyss
and the pit.---
And thus, I saw the horses in the
inspired appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest
and breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow
sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of
lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a
sulfurous brimstone. By these three was the stroke, calamity and
plague that caused the third part of human beings to be outright killed and
slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the
yellow sulfurous like-brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.---
and there were bright, glaring, shining lightning; and a
tone of sounds, noises, voices and thundering; and an earthquake, a shaking, a
commotion and tempest; and exceedingly great, large, mighty hail.---
And there were voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and
a bright, shining glare, lightning’s; and there was an exceeding great,
large and mighty earthquake and earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a
commotion and tempest; such as this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not
since human beings were upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so
exceedingly great, large and mighty, so full of power.---
and there descended and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty
hail out of the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like:
and human beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of the very exceeding God;
Deity, because of the plague, stroke and calamity of the hail; for the
plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in high
degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible.
Old
Testament Scriptures:
And Jehovah GOD saw that the evil,
wretchedness and wickedness of mankind was great in the earth, and that every
imagination and everything framed in his mind, of the purpose and thoughts of
his feelings, and heart was only evil, and his desires were wrong continually,
every day. And it repented the LORD Jehovah that He had made man on the
earth and it displeased, and grieved Him at His inner feelings and heart. And
the LORD Jehovah said, I will destroy, erase, strike and rub out man whom I
have created and prepared from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it causes me to repent and
reconsider that I have made them. For yet in seven days, and I will cause it to
rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance and
thing that I have made, will I destroy, erase, strike and rub out from
off the face of the earth. The earth also was corrupt and marred before the
exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; and the land of the earth was full
of injustice and unrighteous violence. And the exceeding great and mighty God,
the Judge; directed His view, to view and think upon the land of the earth; and
all flesh of mankind had corrupted and spoiled His course of life and the way
to walk upon the land of the earth. And the exceeding great and mighty God, the
Judge; said unto Noah; the process of the end of all flesh of mankind is come
before my face, for the land of the earth is filled with false injustice and
violence through them and behold, I will destroy, cast off, cause to perish
and utterly waste them with the land of the earth. In the six hundredth
year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the
same day were all the fountains, springs and wells of the great abyss of
surging water in the deep broken up, and the windows and holes of heaven were
opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And I will
establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by
the waters of a deluge and flood; neither shall there anymore be a deluge and
flood to destroy the earth. Genesis
6:5-7, 11-13; 7:4, 11-12; & 9:11.
Then the LORD caused it to rain
upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah an inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a
burning, hot flaming fire from the LORD Jehovah out of the sky of heaven;
And He overthrew those cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the
cities, and that which grew upon the ground. And Abraham got up early in the
morning to the place where he stood before the LORD Jehovah: And he looked
toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld,
and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and vapor of the land went up as the fume
and smoke of a smelting furnace.
Genesis 19:24-25; & 19:27-28.
For the day of the LORD
Jehovah of hosts shall be upon every one that is arrogant, proud and
lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be abased, humiliated
and brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted
up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon
all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every
fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant
pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in
that day. And the idols He shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the
holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and
for the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake terribly the earth.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which
they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go
into the caverns and clefts of the rocks as a refuge, and onto the tops of the
ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He
rises to shake mightily and terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:12-21.
In that
day, they shall growl, mourn and roar
against them like the roaring of the sea and if one look and consider
attentively unto the land, behold, darkness, death, destruction, misery and
sorrow of anguish; trouble and tribulation; and the illumination
of the bright, clear day light is caused to be darkness, made dim and black, as
to hide in the sky of the heaven, as dropping at the horizon. Isaiah 5:30.
Make a boisterous and wailing howl;
for the day of the LORD Jehovah is near at hand; it shall come as destruction
from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart
shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of
them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed
one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Lo and behold, the day
of the LORD Jehovah is coming, a burning and cruel anger; both with wrath
and fierce anger, to lay the country, the field, the wilderness and
the land of the earth desolate: and He shall destroy the one
accounted guilty as sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and
the constellations, even of Orion, thereof shall not give their light: the sun
rays from the east to the west will be dark and hidden from view and the bright
moon will not glitter, illuminate or shine. And I will punish the world for
their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance
of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will
make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of
Ophir. Therefore, I will shake with a violent tremble, the air of
heaven and the land of the earth shall move in a smooth wavelike motion,
it will increase and decrease, out of her local and general place in the
outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath of the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One of Armies and in the day of His burning fierce
rapid breathing passionate anger. Isaiah
13:6-13.
Behold, the LORD God Jehovah, the
Self-Existent, Eternal One makes the land of the earth empty, and
depopulates it, and annihilates it, and makes it waste, and turns it upside
down, and scatters by dashing in pieces and abroad the ones who dwell and
settle down on the land of the earth, the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be,
as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his
master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the
seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury,
so with the giver of usury to him. The land of the earth shall be utterly
emptied, and depopulated, and utterly plundered and spoiled: for the LORD God
Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One hath spoken and properly arranged this
word. The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, and
the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under
the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured
and consumed the land of the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate
and guilty to be punished and to perish: therefore the inhabitants of the
land of the earth are burned, and few men remain. Fear, and the pit, and
the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to
pass, that he who flees and escapes from the noise and sound of the fear, alarm
and terror shall fall into the pit and snare as a catching for prey; and he who
comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the spring trap and
snare: for the windows from on high are open wide, and the foundations of
the ground and land of the earth do shake. The land and field of the
earth is utterly broken down into pieces, the ground and the land of the earth
is clean dissolved, it is moved and wavered, the earth is shaken off course, it
is moved exceedingly, falling down and shaken violently. The earth shall reel
and waver, to and fro, as in wavering as being intoxicated and like a drunkard,
and shall flee, waver and be tossing like a hammock, be removed like a cottage;
and the transgression and rebellion and sin, thereof shall be heavy
and a severe burden upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD Jehovah, the
Self-Existent, Eternal One, shall visit to punish the mass of those organized
for war and the host of the high and haughty ones that are in a lofty and
elevated place, and the kings of the earth upon the land of the earth. And they
shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, a dungeon and
prison, and shall be shut up and fastened in the prison, and after many days
shall they be visited for punishment. Then the moon shall be confounded
and brought to confusion and the heat of the sun ashamed, pale and delayed,
when the LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One, of the Hosts of
Armies shall take council to ascend to the throne and begin His royal reign in
mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in splendor, glory and
honor. Isaiah 24:1-6 & 17-23.
Thou shall be visited by the
Lord Jehovah of Hosts with a peal of thunder, with earthquake and vibration,
with fierceness, shaking and vapor; and great noise, with whirlwind, storm and
tempest and the flash of bright, flaming, devouring, burning fire. Isaiah 29:6.
For lo, I begin to bring evil
and spoil on the guarded city which is called by name and should ye be
completely unpunished; ye shall be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon
all the inhabitants, those who settle down to dwell on the land of the earth
and of the world, saith the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of
the Hosts of Armies. Therefore, speak an inspiration of prophesy as a matter of
cause and against them all these words and say, the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One will mightily roar from on high and call aloud
with His voice from His sacred and holy abode and habitation; He shall give an
acclamation and shout as they that tread and walk though to ambush the
inhabitants and dwellers upon the land of the earth. A noise and an uproar
shall come even to the ends of the land of the earth, for the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One has a controversy and a strife with the nations
of the Gentile people, the foreign heathen; He will judge and pass
sentence, vibrate and punish all flesh of mankind, He will give them
that are morally wrong, wicked and ungodly, to the cutting instrument of a
sword, declares by affirmation, the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal
One. Thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of the Host
of Armies, Behold evil and wretchedness shall go forth from the nations of the
Gentiles, to the nations of the Gentiles, a great tempest of a
whirlwind, and shall be raised up, and stirred up, and awaken
from the coasts, and boarders of the earth of the world. And the slain of
the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One shall be at that day, from
one end of the land of the earth, even unto the other end of the land of the
earth, they shall not be lamented or mourn, nor in any wise be buried, they
shall be dung upon the surface of the soil and ground of the earth. Jeremiah 25:29-33.
The word of the LORD came again unto
me, saying: son of a human being, speak by inspiration in a prediction and say,
Thus saith the Lord GOD, Jehovah;Howl ye with a boisterous wailing tone, Woe and grief worth the day, For the
day is near, even the day of the LORD Jehovah: is near, a day of
clouds that cover the sky; a time of the nations of the Gentiles; the heathen.
Ezekiel 30:1-3.
Therefore, son of a human being:
speak an inspired prophesy and say unto Gog, the northern nation, Thus
says, the Lord, the Only God; In that day, when my people of Israel dwell in a
quiet, secure and feeling of safety, Will you not know and be ascertain by
seeing it? And thou shall come from the northern border, you and many people
as a unit of troops, with all of them riding and being dispatched upon
horses, a great assembly and multitude, an abundant and a mighty army of fierce
and strength. And thou shall come up and ascend as a trap against my people of
Israel, as a thunder cloud covering the sky to cover and overwhelm the land. It
shall be in the latter and future days and I will bring thee against my
land, that the foreign heathen, Gentile people may know me, when I shall be
sanctified in thee O’ Gog, the northern nation, before their eyes. Thus
says the Lord, the Only God, Art thou he of whom I have spoken in ancient time
by my servants, the inspired men and prophets of Israel which spoke by
inspiration in those days, many years that I would bring thee against
them? And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog, the
northern nation, will come against the land of Israel saith the Lord, the
Only God, that my anger and hot displeasure, fury and rage will come up into my
face. For in my jealousy and zeal, in the burning, hot flaming fire of my
outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath, have I spoken: For certain, in
that day, there shall be a great and insolent shaking and uproar, a vibration
and quaking in the land of Israel. So that the fishes of the sea and the
birds of the air of heaven and the living creatures of the field and all reptiles,
and any other rapid moving animals that creep by moving upon the soil of the
earth and all human beings, that are upon the face of the soil of the earth,
will shake at my presence, and the mountains and range of hills shall be broken
into pieces, and the wall of protection will fall to the ground. And I will
call out for a cutting instrument of a sword against all and throughout all my
mountain range of hills and country, Says the Lord, the Only God: every man’s
cutting instrument of a sword will be against his brother and kinsman. And I
will judge for a sentence to vindicate and punish against him, with a plague
and pestilence, with a substance like blood; and I will rain upon him
and upon his army and crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit,
that are with him, an over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain,
and a great weight of a peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery, flaming
fire and an inflammable, sulfur resin of brimstone. Thus will I magnify
myself, and sanctify myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many a foreign,
heathen, Gentile people and you will know by ascertain by seeing, that I am the
Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One. Ezekiel 38:14-23.
Sanctify ye a fast, to call out a
solemn assembly to a meeting, to gather the elders and all the inhabitants, who
settle and dwell on the land of the earth, into the house of the Lord Jehovah,
the Self-Existent and Eternal One, your great and mighty God, the Judge; cry
and shriek unto the Lord Jehovah; Oh, oh, Alas, for the day of the Lord
Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One is near at hand: as a
destruction of violence and ravage of wasting, from the Almighty shall it
come. Joel 1:14-15.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and
sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble with violent emotion and stand in awe: for the day of the LORD
Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and misery, of
gloominess and misfortune, a day of clouds and lowering of the dark thick sky,
as the day dawns upon the mountains: a great people, numerous and strong; there
hath not been anything like this, neither shall be any more after it, even to
the years of many generations. A hot, fiery, flame devours and consumes
them; and behind them a spearing flame is set on a flaming blaze: the land
is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate, devastation
and wasted wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape it. The appearance of them
is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the
noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a
flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather
blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men
of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break
their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his
path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall
run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up
upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth
shall quake and quiver with a violent rage, shake and tremble before them;
the air of the heavens shall tremble and move: the sun rays in the arch of the
sky, from the east, to the west and the moon shall be an ashy dark color; and
the stars shall withdraw and remove their clear brilliant shining: And the LORD
shall thunder forth His voice before His army: for His encampment is very
exceeding great: for He is mighty and strong to execute His word: for the
day of the LORD Jehovah is very great and very terrible, to be feared; and
who can endure and bear it? Joel
2:1-11.
And I will show a token, a
sign and wonders in the air of the heavens, in the visible arch of the sky,
where the clouds move; and in the field, in the ground, in the wilderness and
throughout all the land of the earth; it will have the appearance of blood
along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns and pillars of clouds, of
angry dust, smoke and vapor. The brilliant sunrays in the arch of the sky,
from the rising of the sun in the east, to the setting of the sun westward will
be changed and turned over to the darkness of night and the moon will take on
the appearance of blood, before the great and notable, the fearful, the
terrible and dreadful day of the LORD Jehovah, the self-Existing, the
Eternal One comes. Joel
2:30-31
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles;
Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them
come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears:
let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen,
and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to
come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of
Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye
in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is
full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes
in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD Jehovah is near at
hand, in the valley of decision and destruction. The arch of the sunrays from
the rising in the east, to the setting in the west and the moon shall be ashy
dark and the gazing of the stars shall withdraw their bright shining. The LORD
Jehovah also shall mightily roar and rumble out of Zion; and give forth His
voice from Jerusalem; and the air of the heavens and the field, the country,
the wilderness and the land of the earth shall shake and tremble: but the
LORD Jehovah will be the shelter of hope of His people and the strength and
fortress of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your
God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there
shall no strangers pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass in that
day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with
milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall
come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Egypt shall be desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the
violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood
in their land. But Judah shall dwell forever and Jerusalem from generation to
generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the
LORD dwelleth in Zion. Joel
3:9-21.
Alas, O’ Woe unto you that desire
and wish to know the day of the LORD! To what purpose and to what end is it for
you? The day of the LORD Jehovah is darkness and obscurity and not
bright nor light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went
into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Shall not the day of the LORD Jehovah be darkness and not one of
illumination, bright and clear? Even very dark and dusky; with no brightness or
clear shinning in it? Amos 5:18-20.
And it shall come to pass in that
day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun rays in the arch of
the sky, from the rising of the sun in the east to the setting in the west, to
go down at noon, midday and become a dual, double light and I will withhold the
light and cause darkness on the earth in the clear, bright, illumination of the
day. Amos 8:9.
Hold thy peace at the presence of
the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath
prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. And it shall come to pass in the
day of the LORD's sacrifice that I will punish the princes, and the king's
children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. In the same day
also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their
masters' houses with violence and deceit. And it shall come to pass in that
day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish
gate, and a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. Howl,
ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they
that bear silver are cut off. And it shall come to pass at that time,
that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled
on their preserved things: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good,
neither will he do evil. Therefore their goods shall become booty and their
houses desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they
shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. The great day of the
LORD Jehovah is near, it is near, and is coming exceeding quickly and
swiftly, even the voice of the day of the LORD Jehovah: the mighty man
shall cry in a shrill of tone, there with discontent and great bitterness. That
day, is a day of anger, rage and wrath, a day of adversity, affliction,
anguish, distress, tribulation and trouble; a day of wastefulness, devastation
and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick black
darkness covering the sky; A day of the trumpet and giving a clear sound, an
alarm against the fenced and fortified cities, and against the high towers and
battlements. And I will bring distress upon human beings that they shall walk
like a blind person, because they have sinned against the LORD Jehovah: and
their blood shall be poured out as dust, and the flesh of their bodies as the
dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the
day of the LORD Jehovah’s outburst of anger, rage and wrath; but
the whole land shall be burned, devoured and consumed by the hot
fiery flame of His jealousy: for He shall make a speedy and complete
destruction and riddance of all the inhabitants of the land. Zephaniah 1:7-18.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah of the
Hosts of Armies; Yet once in a little while, very soon, I will shake the air
of the heavens and the country, the ground, the wilderness, the field and the
land of the earth and the sea, the dry and the desert land. Haggai 2:6.
Behold, the day of the LORD
Jehovah comes, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I
will gather all heathen, Gentile nations against Jerusalem to battle and war;
and the city shall be captured, occupied and taken, and the houses rifled,
plundered and spoiled; and the women will be defiled and ravished; and half of
the city shall go forth into captivity and exile, and the residue and remainder
of the people shall not be cut off or consumed, nor destroyed from the
city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when
He fought in the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day, upon the
mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives
shall be divided, cleave and split in the middle, into two parts, toward the
east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of
the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south. And
ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains
shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the
earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come,
and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the illumination of the day light, shall not be clear with brightness, nor
settled dark: But it shall be one unique day, which shall be known to the LORD
Jehovah, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at dusk of the
evening time, there will be illumination of light. And it shall be in that day,
that living, running spring water, shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them
toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and
in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in
that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one. All the land shall
be turned as a plain, as the Arabah desert from Geba to Rimmon south of
Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from
Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and
from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses, where the grapes are
crushed. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more curse or
physical destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. And this shall
be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite and slay all the people, that have
assembled and fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away
and melt, while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away
and melt in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away and melt in their
mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult
from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand
of his neighbor and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen
round about, shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in
great abundance. And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the
camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as
this plague. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And
it shall be that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto
Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no
rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;
that shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come
not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt,
and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of
tabernacles. In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS
UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before
the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the
LORD of Hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and see
therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of
the LORD of Hosts. Zechariah 14:1-21.
For, behold, the day shall come,
it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot and an oven; and all the arrogant and
proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be as stubble: and the day that comes,
shall burn and set them ablaze with a flaming fire, saith the Lord Jehovah
of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root or branch. Malachi 4:1.
