Discuss Revelation 9 Page 2

Trump is the most pro-Christian president we've had in decades. He openly gives credit to God and Jesus Christ, has had pastors pray over Him, has held more prayer groups, and has involved more Christians than any other president. His opponents hate this. He's imperfect like everyone else. His choices of justices helped stop the evil abortion spree and may save millions of lives, even though some democrat bullied states will still mass murder babies and enjoy it. This is the sickest evil happening today, to destroy innocent life God created. A day of reckoning will come where people will weep uncontrollably over this in the face of God, including those who didn't actually commit the acts, but supported it through money or votes.

Obama was raised Muslim and still is. He quoted the Quran many times in his speeches while demeaning Christians, released Muslim terrorists so they can kill more Americans. Biden is senile and I don't know what his actual beliefs are and maybe he doesn't know either, but he's promoted evil- through increasing violence, increasing baby killing, increasing drugs, increasing human trafficking through open borders, letting prisoners go free, while imprisoning innocent people who stood in a public park to listen to speeches. More evil under the current admin than ever seen in this country.

I think its time to start exposing evil more and calling it what it is. Satan is deceiving and controlling a lot of people in government, the media, and everywhere it seems.

Dear "T. Anderson", I actually think that many people are unfair to Trump, and hate it. And the Lord Himself will repay that injustice. Remember that there are many who love him too. And it is no wonder that then the media image of Trump. Always shows a picture when he makes some faces. Absolutely fantastic that they manage to snap the worst ones too! Many times i think is it a photo shop picture ? Should Trump wear a mask? I understand what you mean, but don't think so. We will probably see it clearly the day it appears. And in any case, I hope you're wrong.

God bless u in Jesus name i love u i Christ Act 1

Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Once the 144,000 are sealed with the seal of God, the 5th trump sounds, Satan's fallen angels are here.

God's very elect are the 7,000 from all races, Acts 2

Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

What did God tell Satan & his angels, Touch not My Elect, that have the seal of God in their forehead

Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them (Satan & his angels) 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.

Those who have the seal of God(Sealed)during the Hour of Temptation will not be touched by this wrath, which IS the wrath of God.

All who are alive and remain go through the tribulation, question is DO YOU HAVE THE SEAL???

Sister Theresa:

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto man once to DIE; but after this the judgement.

This death happens by THE COMING OF THE LORD, HIM in YOU, his body.

This SECOND COMING cannot be seen: it comes like a thief in the night.

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was ONCE OFFERED (first coming of Christ) to bear the sins of many; and to them who LOOK for him shall he appear a SECOND TIME (second coming CHRIST as the HOLY GHOST) without sin, UNTO SALVATION.

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming FIRE.

Revelation 9:18 By these was the THIRD PART of man KILLED (first death, not literal), by the FIRE, and the SMOKE, and the BRIMSTONE, which ISSUED OUT OF THEIR MOUTH.

All of us, THE DECEIVED, are KILLED, destroyed, by GOD'S WORD.

All that is LEFT is TRUTH and LIFE.

John 14:6 ....I AM TRUTH .....I AM LIFE ....

Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shall BURN WITH FIRE a THIRD PART .....

Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the THIRD PART through the FIRE ...

Zechariah 13:8 And it SHALL COME TO PASS, that in all the land, TWO PARTS shall be cut off and DIE (literal, go to the grave); but the THIRD PART shall BE LEFT (never see death) therein.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we (that died the first death, that came to the truth of Christ's resurrection) SHALL REMAIN (having become ONE WITH TRUTH: CHRIST) and be CAUGHT UP together with THEM (the Old Testament Saints, resurrected with Christ) in the clouds (symbolic of God's Temple, the cloud was always over the tabernacle of the Old Covenant), to meet the Lord on the air, so shall we ever be (in the presence) with the Lord (the IMAGE OF CHRIST).

Zechariah 12:7 And the Lord shall save the tents of Judah FIRST (the Old Testament Saints; resurrected with Christ), that the GLORY of the HOUSE OF DAVID (those born again of TRUTH) and the glory of the house of Jerusalem (same people) do not magnify themselves against the house of Judah.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will DO NOTHING, but he revealeth his SECRET to his servants the Prophets.

It's called sorcery, sorceries, sorcerers (pharmikeia, pharmokon, pharmikos) Revelation 9:21, 18:23, 22:15

Brother S Spencer:

What does the overcomer, overcome:

Is it not unbelief, fearfulness, lying, hating his brothers, etc.

The same fire and brimstone that is the second death (after the second resurrection) is also the first death (after the first resurrection); that the overcomer goes through.

Revelation 9:18 By these three were the "THIRD PART" (the overcomers) of man killed (first death), by the fire, by the smoke, and by brimstone, which issued of of their mouth.

Issued out of THEIR MOUTH ....the WORD OF GOD .....the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone.

The THIRD PART:

Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shall burn with fire a THIRD PART .....

Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shalt also take thereof A FEW in number ....

Ezekiel 5:4 And take of THEM (the FEW) again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire, for THEREOF shall A FIRE come forth unto the house of Israel.

Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, TWO THIRDS shall be cut off and DIE, but the THIRD PART shall be left therein ( Luke 17:34-35).

Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the THIRD PART through the fire.

Obadiah 1:18 ...and the house of Jacob SHALL BE A FIRE, and the house of Joseph A FLAME, and the house of Esau stubble, and THEY shall kindle IN THEM, and DEVOUR THEM ......

IN THEM: You don't go to heaven.

Obadiah 1:21 And saviours (those who are the image of Christ) shall come upon mount Zion TO JUDGE the mount of ESAU; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

God Bless YOU.

6th Seal, 6th Vial, and 6th Trumpet (666) it is a number and they all pertain/describe to the beast, and his coming.

Satan comes at the 6th trump, 6th vial and 6th seal, Christ comes at the 7th.

What are these seals? The Knowledge of God's Word, To know God's word, His Plan.

Revelation 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;

6th seal, You need to know Satan will appear in Jerusalem and says he is God by imitating the Messiah

What are the Trumpets? Trumpets are the actions, what's going to happen, when the trumpets sounds.

Revelation 9:13 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(tribulation)time of Jacobs Trouble.

What are the Vials? The wraths of God poured out.

Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water there of was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

The Seals are whats in the vials, and are poured out when the Trumpet sounds,,,, there are 7 seals, vials and trumpets,,,

Jimmy,

Here's some things I would like to share with you. Revelation 8:6 to Chapter 11 Verse 19 gives us the description of the 7 trumpets. Revelation 8:7 is the first trumpet. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood. It's becoming very intense! And they were cast upon the earth: and 1/3 of the trees was burnt up, as well as the grass, or green vegetation.

Only 1/3 of the trees was burnt up, so any grass that was below those trees would burn also. That would be 1/3 of the grass in that area. To make sense of Revelation 9:4, we would have to believe that not all grass on the entire earth was burnt up because it tells us the locusts were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing or any tree.

Here's what fascinates me. Why would God command these locusts not to hurt the green vegetation? It's because these things are the locusts' natural food. These locusts would quickly die out without the vegetation to sustain them, and God's plan was for them to live and torment those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Revelation 9:5 says that they were to torment them for five months. Something else that's interesting is why five months? Well, five months is the actual lifespan of a locust, from May through December.

As for Revelation 22:18-19, Verse 18 is basically telling us that there are no more "new prophecies" after the book of Revelation. Anyone adding more is adding to the book. Revelation 22:19 says "if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life."

Please notice that it doesn't say the book of the Lamb. God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. We don't want to take away from the book of Revelation and make it be something else rather than what it is. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

I hope this helps!

The event that is a huge sign is when Israel builds the 3rd Temple. The Antichrist will sit on the throne. It's called the Abomination of Desolation in the Bible.

You need to read Matthew 24, Luke 21, and be watching for evidence of those signs. Jesus said it will be like birth pains. Gradual labor, transition and then birth. A lot of people agree we're in labor and approaching transition now.

The world is so plugged into social media, like tik tok and silly stuff, not reading the Bible.They will not know that time is speeding up. It's kind of like an old fashioned hourglass. At the end, the last sand grains just fall out real fast. Plop! It's time to get our loved ones into the present day ARK. That is, Jesus. But we are charged by Jesus to go ye into everyone's world and tell them to get inside NOW. Grade schools through College, kids are being taught things outright sinful! We need to pray with those little kids and tell the Truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, The Life. They're all watching TikTok too

A guy wrote a book way back about THE TERMINAL GENERATION. I think we're there. Our government is tying us up with massive problems, even starving newborn babies for milk. Overnight they are taking our money and writing trillion dollar checks on a zero balance!

These are signs Romans 1 writes to us. Those people are on YouTube every day. I get no joy saying that. Hell is a real place. I've had visions of scary things. It's a sign too.

Joel chapter 2:28-32, Habakkuk 2:2-3

It saddens me how worldly we are becoming. Cell phones are a curse. I pray more websites like this one would be everywhere! Even Ukraine. YouTube banned me for saying "abortion is not a form of birth control."

Every time I open the Bible I see prophesy scriptures everywhere I read. I had to learn to read slower or just stop so I could see what's really happening.

I watch Nelson Walters videos on YouTube. Nelson Walters. I verify his texts and scriptures, too.

Approximately, where do you think we are for a time frame in revelation?

And, what events would you base that approximate time frame on?

I'm a bit confused with the two

3 1/2 year time frames that make

the 7 years period.

Thanks you,

Lisanne

When I read this chapter it seems to be a figure of when a minister of the gospel (star) becomes carnally minded in his teachings (falling from heaven to earth). Then smoke from the forces of Satan choke the life giving air and sun. Following the choking of truth comes locusts (false prophets). Nahum 3:17 would reference similar figures. I could go on..... but think spiritual figures of speech when you read Revelation and see it you see things differently. Chapter 8 when waters get polluted living organisms die. Sounds like new testament teachings.

Rev 9;1-11 world war 2 5mo.5yrs angel was Hitler 6 Jews being jailed

13-20 possible world war 3with the used fire ,and brimstone NUCLEAR BOMB

21 says that after this tribulation man did not repent still worship the devil their murder and sorcery and Formication

As in our present age.

Where people are deceived in many things and only few are given the wisdom to understand

The truth.

As the dragon,the false spirit continue to spread lies and deception people will continue to die

Missing the chance for salvation

Revelation 8, - Revelation 9, - Revelation 10, note there are 7 angels with seven trumpets Revelation 8:2-6, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th angels "sounded" their trumpets in Rev. 8, Revelation 8:7,8,10,12, & warns of the final 3. Revelation 8:13, "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound"

The 5th & 6th angels sound in Rev. 9, Revelation 9:1,13, It's not until Revelation 10, the 7th will sound Revelation 10:7,

1Corinthians 15:52, Jeremiah 4:13, Daniel 7:13, Zephaniah 1, Zephaniah 1:15,16, Amos 5:18-20, Matthew 24:3-51, Mark 13:4-37, Revelation 1:7, Mark 14:60-62, Matthew 26:62-64, Revelation 10:1-7, Revelation 14,

1Thessalonians 1:9,10, 1Thessalonians 2:19, John 17, 1Thessalonians 3:4, 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1Thessalonians 5, 2Thessalonians 1, 2Thessalonians 2, 2Timothy 2, 2Timothy 3, 2Timothy 3:12, 2Timothy 4:1-8, Titus 2:13-15, 2Peter 2:4-9, 2Peter 3:9-18,

Hopefully these are helpful to this discussion

Sister GiGi, every Word God has ever spoken WILL COME TO PASS.

This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to understand, and believe, MOSSES and THE PROPHETS.

The Spirit of Christ prophesied that ONLY ONE THIRD (vessels of honour) of creation would be CALLED in this age of GRACE (the DAY OF THE LORD).

Ezekiel 5:1 .....then take three balances and weigh, and DIVIDE the hair ....( Revelation 6:5-6)

Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shall burn the THIRD PART in the midst of the city ....(you are the new Jerusalem of God)

Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shall also take thereof a FEW IN NUMBER, and bind them in thy skirts ( Psalms 133:2).

Ezekiel 5:4 Then take of them (the few) and cast them into the FIRE ( Malachi 3:2-3), and burn them (the few) in the FIRE; for thereof (the few) shall a FIRE ( Psalms 104:4) COME FORTH unto the House of Israel (you are the TRUE house of Israel).

Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob (Jacob was the shadow; Christ is the TRUE) SHALL BE A FIRE, and the house of Joseph (Joseph was the shadow; Christ is the TRUE) shall be a flame, and the house of ESAU for stubble ..

Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come upon Mount Zion, to judge the mount of ESAU; and the KINGDOM (of GOD)(CHRIST IN YOU) shall be the Lord's.

Zechariah 13:09 And I WILL bring the THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE ..

Revelation 8:7 ... and there followed HAIL and FIRE .....

Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord (the Father ) hath a strong and might one (CHRIST), which as a tempest of HAIL and a destroying storm ....

Isaiah 28:17 ..and the HAIL shall sweep away the refuge of lies ..

Revelation 8:8 ...as it were a great mountain BURNING WITH FIRE ...

Daniel 2:35 ...and the stone (CHRIST) that smote THE IMAGE (of the beast)( Revelation 13:15) became a great mountain (Mount Zion) ...

Revelation 9:18 By these three was a THIRD PART of man killed, by the FIRE, and by the SMOKE, and by the BRIMSTONE, WHICH ISSUED of there MOUTH.

The LAKE OF FIRE and BRIMSTONE comes out of the MOUTH, THE FIRE AND BRIMSTONE ARE THE WORD'S OF GOD.

I just wanted to reply, the locust didn't have power to kill. Revelation 9:3-6,10, it appears to give them time to repent from evil. Revelation 9:20,21, 2Peter 3:9, "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 all should come to repentance." 2Peter 3:9-14,

Oh dear brother, Joe!! How many times, as I've heard others share something from the Word of God -I've had Dthe same, "DOH...WHY didn't I see that?" moments! Ha ha!

Or...how many times, as I've read through the Bible, I find verses that I completely forgot were in the Bible..though I've read them many times!!

I agree with many who have said that there are NO 'stupid questions'. Asking is how we grow in wisdom and knowledge...so..it's all good! :)

Be blessed in your pursuit of growing in God's Word, Joe.

Thanks - so obvious, guess this is why I need an explanation - duh!

Hi Joe,

From what I understand, the answer is verse 17 b and 18 a, read together:

..."out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed,"

The 'three', then, are the fire, smoke, and brimstone, which did so much destruction.

Blessings!

Look at v.17 dear friend "Joe", (fire, smoke and sulfur). Stay blessed in Jesus Holy Name, love u in Christ. 2 Timothy 1:7

Vs 18 says "... these three". I do not understand because I see only two - locusts and horsemen. Will someone please explain to me?

Starting with: Numbers 14:34,35,36,37,38 then, Ezekiel 4:6,

Daniel 9:2, searching the prophetic timelines,

Other years mysteries: Isaiah 61:2, Isaiah 63:4, Jeremiah 11:23, Jeremiah 17:8, Jeremiah 23:12, Jeremiah 48:44, Jeremiah 51:46, Ezekiel 46:17, Luke 4:19, Luke 13:8, Revelation 9:15, Daniel 11:6,

Sometimes in prophetic dreams things symbolized days & years,

additional amounts of time described at "times" Daniel 4:23,25,32, Daniel 7:25, Daniel 8:14,17,19,26

Weeks; Daniel 9:24-27, Daniel 12:1,9,

Days: Daniel 12:11,12,13, 2Peter 3:7-13,

Also a Day is like a thousand years unto The LORD: 2Peter 3:8, Psalms 90:4,

* Daniel 2:20-22, James 1:5,

Free,

You must have the ability the put the end times in perspective by trumpets, or you will be contextually confused. It's not hard to do. Focus on the last 3 trumpets that are for our generation, as this generation will not pass before the fulfillment. The 4 previous trumpets were WWI, WWII, Korea & Vietnam, and are past.

5th trumpet = 9-11-01 "war on terror" was Revelation 9:1-11 The scripture and date look almost identical, they are identifiable and by no mistake. Our esoterical owners picked that date for a reason, because it fits prophesy. Look at vs 4:

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.

The US army, like locust, swarmed the ME to kill Muslims (no seal in foreheads) and didn't hurt green things (no green things in desert).

*THIS IS WHERE WE ARE PROPHETICALLY, WAITING ON THE 6TH SEAL* = Rev 6:14 attack/scroll, then Rev 6:12 earthquake kicks off the day of the Lord, vs 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

6th Trumpet = the day of the Lord attack on Mystery Babylon and the Babylon System. This begins anti-Christs rule of 42 months rule.

The attack is so powerful that it knocks the earth off its axis, Isaiah 24:20. The earth is ruined from the beast destroying Babylon, 900 US bases worldwide. As a result, the moon and stars won't give their light 1/3rd the day. The Russian beast and China false prophet will bitterly fight each other with their "flying fiery serpent" (nuclear devices), Isaiah 14:29.

7th trumpet = This beast infighting will cause Jesus Messiah to return to earth to stop the fragmented beast army from completely destroying the earth. So, Jesus has a definite reason for intervening, and defeating all armies. This begins the 1,000 year reign of transfigured Christ, having a new name that only He knows.

According to Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the KJV Bible there are three variant Greek words translated devils.

The root word in his Greek dictionary of the New Testament is:

1142.

Transliteration daimn (Key)

Pronunciation dah'-ee-mown

Part of Speech masculine/feminine noun

Root Word (Etymology) From daio (to distribute fortunes)

a daemon or super-natural spirit (of a bad nature); - devil.

Matthew 8:31; Mark 5:12; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 18:2.

1139.

Transliteration daimonizomai (Key)

Pronunciation dahee-mon-id'-zom-ahee

Part of Speech verb

Root Word (Etymology) Middle voice from (G1142)

to be exercised by a daemon;-have a (be vexed with, be possessed with) devil (-s).

Matthew 4:24; Matthew 8:16; Matthew 8:28; Mark 1:32; Luke 4:36

1140.

Transliteration daimonion (Key)

Pronunciation dahee-mon'-ee-on

Part of Speech neuter noun

Root Word (Etymology) Neuter of a derivative of (G1142)

a demonic being; by extension a diety:-devil, god.

Matthew 7:22; Matthew 9:34; Matthew 10:8; Matthew 12:24,27,28; Mark 1:34,39; Mark 3:15,22; Mark 6:13; Mark 9:38; Mark 16:9,17; Luke 4:41; Luke 8:2,27,30,33,35,38; Luke 9:1,49; Luke 10:17; Luke 12:15,18,19,20; Luke 13:32; 1 Corinthians 10:20-21; 1 Timothy 4:1; James 2:19; Revelation 9:20.

demon - The Modern English word demon derives from the Middle English demon: from medieval Latin demon, from Latin daemon, from Greek daimn 'deity, genius'; in demon; also from Latin daemonium 'lesser or evil spirit', from Greek daemonion, diminutive of daimn.

devils - The Modern English word devil derives from the Middle English devel, from the Old English dofol, that in turn represents an early Germanic borrowing of the Latin diabolus.

The KJV translation is not a word for word or uniquely and infallible inspired representation of the Greek New Testament, and we should be cautious in choosing which English words in it we want to make our hills to die on without first consulting the Greek.

Just a muse on the next big attack, in these end-times....just my thoughts to pass time.

If the fifth trumpet, Revelation 9:1-11, was 9-11-01 the war on terror,

will the sixth seal, Revelation 6:14, open on 6-14, or June 14th?

The US govt is crafty smart to choose relevant dates for military campaigns.

Whenever Revelation 6-14 happens, it should serve as notice that the sixth trumpet is coming.

Ronald,

It's the last week of the 70th week.

Jesus had 3.5 year ministry on earth, then

Gog gets 3.5 years end-time power as anti-christ.

There is no 3.5 years of peace, that's not possible. You've been getting that all along with the worldwide fanfare Putin receives. He saved civilization by defeating US backed ISIS in Syria in 2015. No one can touch Putin, he knows everything he needs to know, and never falters. He's peaceful by saving his strength for when he needs it. Gog surprises everyone at the falling away reveal 2 Thessalonians 2:3; that describes anti-christ sending nuclear missiles, while his counterpart, the US president, is left speechless Jeremiah 50:43

The 5th trumpet army, Revelation 9:1-11: for 21 years, Mystery Babylon US invaded Iraq, destroyed Syria, Libya and killed millions of Muslims, (not Christians), because Muslims don't have the seal of God in their foreheads. It is allegory for what happened during the ended war on terror. In a prophetic time line, we are right here ( Ezekiel 21:7) with not much time left, but 2 seals.

The 6th trumpet army vs 13-21, Gog, crushes the previous 5th trumpet army. This is how Babylon falls. It describes the day of the Lord.

The king of the north defeats the king of the south ( Daniel 11:40) Also, like above, describing the same thing as above, and many more.

If we are in the end-time, and fearing war the big one (6th trumpet), wouldn't we have seen the 5th trumpet by now, or did 9-11-01 pass without notice?

Ronald,

You talk my language, we share the same interpretations. I told you a while ago that Christ had the first 1/2 of the week, and anti-christ had the second 1/2 of the week. The seven years prophesy is spread out over 2,000 years. That made sense to you, so instead of sticking to your own idea, you adopted it.

5th trumpet: ( Revelation 9:1-11) was 9-11-01. It was the US army that came out of the smoke like locusts to kill those without the seal of God in their foreheads (Muslim's). The US army didn't hurt any tree or green thing because the dessert has none (vs 4). The war on terror is over, troops are withdrawing ( Isaiah 33:1). We are awaiting the 6th seal, watching Revelation 17 simultaneously play out.

6th seal: ( Revelation 6:14) I see US/Israel attacking Iran's nuclear facility, a nuclear reaction, moving mountains. Scroll = mushroom cloud. Iran is the only recognized nuclear power in the ME, Israel's arch enemy, they have been talking about bombing Iran for 40 years, and they are always 6 months away, so the claim has merit.

Then, after a waiting period, there is a calm, a day with blue skies, and then the beast Russia strikes ( Jeremiah 15:7-9), changing the world forever. This is the day of the Lord ( Ezekiel 21). In the self-same hour that Babylon is taken. the earthquake opens up Israel to the beast invasion ( Revelation 6:12). This scripture is telling ( Luke 21:20-24) when Israel is attacked, where is the US to defend them? The US received ( Matthew 24:15). The beast, and his false prophet, China, will rule the world, fight bitterly, and eventually succumb to Christ Jesus at the last trumpet.

If we are in the end-times, shouldn't these prophesies manifest themselves before our eyes? Shouldn't they make themselves known? Yes, to those with understanding.

S Spencer,

Here's the catch:

Revelation 9:16 describes the beast army that's going to defeat Babylon, when the 6th trumpet army attacks the 5th trumpet army. Their army, the horseman described are munitions used in the end-time battles.

John heard the number at 200,000,000; Russia's "Poseidon" is 200 mega tons or 200,000,000 TNT.

Coincidence or match?

Ronald,

You are on the right track. I will add that Revelation 6 covers 6 seal events prior to the day of the Lord, 6th trumpet. Uniquely in ( Revelation 6:12), the 6th seal earthquake becomes the 6th trumpet moon to blood, and sun to sackcloth of hair (from smoke of attack on Babylon), at the day of the Lord.

The tell is vs 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Christ said the attack on Babylon would be a surprise, on a normal sunny day. There must be a small amount of daylight between ( Revelation 6:14) and ( Revelation 6:12). From the vs 14 "scroll" to the 6th trumpet, just past Revelation 6, could be a year, a month, a day and an hour? ( Revelation 9:15). It is very interesting.
