The time of
Jacob's trouble and the Day of the Lord will soon be
upon us.
We will start our
account at the seals of the Book of Revelation,
however this is to enable
the reader to pick up the time thread of the
article. Once we have
discussed the first four seals, we will then take the
reader back prior to
Jacob’s Trouble for new knowledge about this
time. Be prepared to learn
new knowledge with this article and many others, which
are at our site.
Do not believe us, read every scripture in the bible
and ask God to lead you
into truth. If you have that mind, God can work
with you. We
have learnt a certain amount of knowledge up to this
point, but the scriptures
state that we must continue to grow in grace and
knowledge as we continue our
journey to eternal life.
The first
three seals of the book of Revelation are:
Ishmael
Assyria
Famine
Let’s compare
the scriptures
The seals are
about the events which lead up to and culminate in
Jacob’s Trouble.
The seals tell us what is going to happen to
Israel just prior to Jacob’s Trouble, and then
culminate in the worst time of
trouble ever seen in Israel.
1st
Seal - White Horse, Ishmael
Rev
6:2 And
I looked, and behold, a white
horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was
given to him, and he went
out conquering and to conquer.
The rider of the
white horse is identified
in the following scriptures. The rider
had a bow, Ishmael was an archer.
The rider had a
crown, Ishmael had 12 sons
who were princes.
Gen
21:20 So
God was with the lad; and he
grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an
archer.
Gen
17:20 And
as for Ishmael, I have heard
you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him
fruitful, and will multiply
him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and
I will make him a great
nation.
The above
scriptures show clearly that the
1st seal is Ishmael. He will
conquer
At the time of
writing, the Arab nations
are a huge threat to
terrorism. The Arab’s
hatred of
Eze 25:15 'Thus says
the Lord GOD: "Because the
Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with
a spiteful heart, to
destroy because of the old hatred,"
2nd
Seal - Red Horse,
Rev 6:4
Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it
was granted to the one who
sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and
there was given to him a
great sword.
Isa
10:5 "Woe
to
Isa
10:6 I
will send him against an ungodly
nation, And against the people of My wrath I will
give him charge, To seize the
spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like
the mire of the streets.
Jer
50:17 "
3rd
Seal - Black
Horse, Famine
Rev
6:5 When
He opened the third seal, I
heard the third living creature say, "Come and see."
So I looked, and
behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a
pair of scales in his hand.
Rev
6:6 And
I heard a voice in the midst of
the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat
for a denarius, and
three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not
harm the oil and the
wine."
Lev
26:26 When
I have cut off your supply of
bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven,
and they shall bring back
your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be
satisfied.
Lam
5:9 We
get our bread at the risk
of our lives, Because of
the sword in the wilderness.
Lam
5:10 Our
skin is hot as an oven, Because
of the fever of famine.
4th Seal -
Pale Horse, Death
Rev
6:7 When
He opened the fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth living creature
saying, "Come and see."
Rev
6:8 So
I looked, and behold, a pale
horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death,
and Hades followed with
him. And power was given to them over a fourth of
the earth, to kill with
sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of
the earth.
This is the time
of the culmination of Jacob’s trouble, which is
described in Ezekiel chapter
14.
The following
four judgments are little known or spoken of by church
people, but like it or
not, know it or not, these are the judgments which God
is going to send on
The four
judgments of Ezekiel 14 v 21 are:
the sword, the famine, the wild beast and the
pestilence.
Eze
14:21 For
thus says the Lord GOD:
"How much more it shall be when I send My four
severe judgments on
Jerusalem the sword and famine and wild beasts and
pestilence to cut off man
and beast from it?
Let’s compare the
scriptures.
Fourth seal, a
pale horse, death
Rev 6 v 8 states;
The horse has power over ¼ of the earth to kill with
sword, famine, pestilence
and wild beasts
Rev
6:8 So
I looked, and behold, a pale
horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death,
and Hades followed with
him. And power was given to them over a fourth of
the earth, to kill with
sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of
the earth.
Eze
14:21 For
thus says the Lord GOD:
"How much more it shall be when I send My four
severe judgments on
Jerusalem the sword and famine and wild beasts and
pestilence to cut off man
and beast from it?
These four
judgments cause 2/3rds of
Eze
5:12 One-third
of you shall die of the
pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your
midst; and one-third shall fall
by the sword all around you; and I will scatter
another third to all the winds,
and I will draw out a sword after them.
Eze
5:13 'Thus
shall My anger be spent, and
I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will
be avenged; and they shall
know that I, the LORD, have spoken it
in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.
The above
scripture shows that 1/3 of Israel and Judah die of
pestilence and famine, 1/3rd
die by the sword and only 1/3rd of Israel
survive the judgments of
God, and they go into captivity with the sword after
them.
The time of
Jacob’s
trouble is the time of God’s wrath on
Jer
30:7 Alas!
For that day is
great, So that none is like
it; And it is
the time of Jacob's trouble, But
he shall be saved out of it.
Mat
24:9 "Then
they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill
you, and you will be hated by
all nations for My name's sake.
However, God is a
merciful and loving God. He will not send the
judgments on
Now we take the
reader to the time before Jacob’s Trouble……
The
Watchman gives
a warning of impending destruction and captivity on
the House of Israel and
Judah.
The watchman must
warn the whole house of
Notice the
following scripture regarding God’s wrath on
Eze 5:5
"Thus says the Lord GOD: 'This is
Eze
5:6 She
has rebelled against My
judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations,
and against My statutes
more than the countries that are
all around her; for they have refused My judgments,
and they have not walked in
My statutes.'
Eze
5:7 Therefore
thus says the Lord GOD:
'Because you have multiplied disobedience
more than the nations that are
all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor
kept My judgments, nor even
done according to the judgments of the nations that
are all around you'
Eze
5:8 therefore
thus says the Lord GOD:
'Indeed I, even I, am
against
you and will execute judgments in your midst in the
sight of the nations.
Eze
5:9 And
I will do among you what I have
never done, and the like of which I will never do
again, because of all your
abominations.
Eze
5:10 Therefore
fathers shall eat their
sons in your midst, and sons
shall eat their fathers; and I will execute
judgments among you, and all of you
who remain I will scatter to all the winds.
Eze
5:11 'Therefore,
as I live,' says the Lord GOD,
'surely, because you have defiled
My sanctuary with all your detestable things and
with all your abominations,
therefore I will also diminish you;
My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.
Eze
5:12 One-third
of you shall die of the
pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your
midst; and one-third shall fall
by the sword all around you; and I will scatter
another third to all the winds,
and I will draw out a sword after them.
Eze
5:13 'Thus
shall My anger be spent, and
I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will
be avenged; and they shall
know that I, the LORD, have spoken it
in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.
Eze
5:14 Moreover
I will make you a waste
and a reproach among the nations that are
all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
Eze
5:15 'So
it shall be a reproach, a
taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations
that are
all around you, when I execute
judgments among you in anger and in fury and in
furious rebukes. I, the LORD,
have spoken.
Eze
5:16 When
I send against them the
terrible arrows of famine which shall be for
destruction, which I will send to
destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and
cut off your supply of
bread.
Eze
5:17 So
I will send against you famine
and wild beasts, and they will bereave you.
Pestilence and blood shall pass
through you, and I will bring the sword against you.
I, the LORD, have spoken.'
"
In verse 5 this
warning is addressed to
This is the time of Jacob’s trouble. Notice it
is not Satan’s wrath it is
God’s wrath. We have not known this before, this is
new knowledge. Also we have
not mentioned the four judgments for a long time, it
is the time of
Jacob’s trouble, it is a time when 2/3rd of
Amo

the eyes of the Lord
GOD are

scripture shows plainly that

man, go to the house of
Eze
3:5 For
you are not sent to a people of
unfamiliar speech and of hard
language, but
to the house of
Israel,
The above
scripture shows some very interesting facts, the
watchman must speak God’s
words. It
is a waste of time putting our
interpretation and our ideas or thoughts in things,
God’s words are the words
which will be used by the watchman. There are
many penalties listed in
Ezekiel for those who claim to be prophets and speak
their own words, and God
has not sent them. So it is very clear that
God’s words will be spoken by
the watchman.
Here we see what the watchman is to say……..God’s
words.
To whom?
The house of
Who is the house
of
Eze
3:10 Moreover
He said to me: "Son
of man, receive into your heart all My words that I
speak to you, and hear with
your ears.
Eze
3:11 And
go, get to the captives, to the
children of your people, and speak to them and tell
them, 'Thus says the Lord
GOD,' whether they hear, or whether they refuse."
The exiles are
given the warning

of man, set your face
toward the mountains of
Eze

say, 'O mountains of

the warning message. To
the
Eze 7:1 Moreover
the word of the LORD came to me,
saying,
Eze
7:2 "And
you, son of man, thus says
the Lord GOD to the
Eze
7:3 Now
the end has come upon you, And I will send
My anger against you; I will
judge you according to your ways, And I will repay
you for all your
abominations.
Eze
7:4 My
eye will not spare you, Nor will
I have pity; But I will repay your ways, And your
abominations will be in your
midst; Then you shall know that I am
the LORD!'
Eze
7:5 "Thus
says the Lord GOD: 'A
disaster, a singular disaster; Behold, it has come!
Eze
7:6 An
end has come, The end has come;
It has dawned for you; Behold, it has come!
Eze
7:7 Doom
has come to you, you who dwell
in the land; The time has come, A day of trouble is near, And not of rejoicing in
the mountains.
Eze
7:8 Now
upon you I will soon pour out My
fury, And spend My anger upon you; I will judge you
according to your ways, And
I will repay you for all your abominations.
Eze
7:9 'My
eye will not spare, Nor will I
have pity; I will repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will
be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the LORD who strikes.
Here we see the
punishment of
The following
verses contain the warning messages.
Eze
7:15 The
sword is outside, And the pestilence and
famine within. Whoever is in
the field will die by the
sword; And whoever is in
the
city, Famine and pestilence will devour him.
Eze
7:24 Therefore
I will bring the worst of
the Gentiles, And they will possess their houses; I
will cause the pomp of the
strong to cease, And their holy places shall be
defiled.
Eze
7:25 Destruction
comes; They will seek
peace, but there
shall be none.
Eze
7:26 Disaster
will come upon disaster,
And rumor will be upon rumor. Then they will seek a
vision from a prophet; But
the law will perish from the priest, And counsel
from the elders.
We have seen
plainly that the watchman warns
Jer 6:17 Also, I
set watchmen over you, saying,
'Listen to the sound of the
trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.'
Jer
6:22 Thus
says the LORD: "Behold, a
people comes from the north country, And a great
nation will be raised from the
farthest parts of the earth.
Jer
6:23 They
will lay hold on bow and
spear; They are
cruel and have
no mercy; Their voice roars like the sea; And they
ride on horses, As men of
war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion."
Amo
9:10 All
the sinners of My people shall
die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not
overtake nor confront us.'
Read Jer. 6 verse
17 carefully, God will
send His watchmen to warn
When God is
satisfied that the warning has
gone out, then the time of Jacob’s trouble will start.
God will ensure
that all
Isa 9:8 The Lord
sent a word against Jacob, And it
has fallen on
The old King
James has it a little more
clearly:
Isa 9:8 The Lord
sent a word into Jacob, and it hath
lighted upon
THEN JACOB’S
TROUBLE
Eze
12:27 "Son
of man, look, the house
of
Eze
12:28 Therefore
say to them, 'Thus says
the Lord GOD: "None of My words will be postponed
any more, but the word
which I speak will be done," says the Lord GOD.' "
People think that
the end is a long way off and that all the prophecies
are for the future, not for
the present time. However, at the time the
watchman gives his warning,
God says, there shall be delay no more. These events
are now about to come to
pass.
Just prior to
Jacob’s trouble starting, some people will be counted
worthy to miss this
terrible time and will be spared this horrendous
event.
Luk
21:36 Watch
therefore, and pray always that you may be counted
worthy to escape all these
things that will come to pass, and to stand before
the Son of
Psa
37:37 Mark
the blameless man, and
observe the upright; For the
future of that
man is
peace.
Psa
37:38 But
the transgressors shall be
destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall
be cut off.
Psa
37:39 But
the salvation of the righteous
is
from the LORD; He is
their strength in the time of
trouble.
Psa
37:40 And
the LORD shall help them and
deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them, Because
they trust in Him.
In
Ezekiel Chapter 2 is described a scroll, which
contains lamentations,
mourning and woe. The
prophet had to eat
the book and then go and warn the Israelites of the
impending trouble. (Chapter
3) This is referring to Jacob’s trouble. Only
six seals and the 6
following trumpets are revealed at this time. The 7th
trump and remaining 7 plagues
of the Day of the Lord are covered by the little book
in Revelation 10. The
end time prophet of God eats the whole
book. Firstly the modern day Israelites are
warned and after Jacob’s
trouble the gentile nations are warned of the 7
plagues of the Day of the
Lord.
Prior to
captivity.
Eze
12:10 Say
to them, 'Thus says the Lord
GOD: "This burden concerns
the prince in
Eze
12:11 Say,
'I am a sign to you. As I have done,
so shall it be done to them;
they shall be carried away into captivity.'
Eze 12:16 But I will
spare a few of their men from the
sword, from famine, and from pestilence, that they
may declare all their
abominations among the Gentiles wherever they go.
Then they shall know that I am the
LORD."
There are very
few left when
Also note this
terrible thing, Jacob’s brother, Esau, actually stands
by and watches as their
very own brother goes into captivity, then they gloat
over their brother’s
misfortune. Look at these verses.
Oba
1:9 Then
your mighty men, O Teman, shall
be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the
mountains of Esau May be cut off
by slaughter.
Oba
1:10 "For
violence against your
brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall
be cut off forever.
Oba
1:11 In
the day that you stood on the
other side In the day that strangers carried captive
his forces, When
foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for
Oba
1:12 "But
you should not have gazed
on the day of your brother In the day of his
captivity; Nor should you have
rejoiced over the children of
The false
prophets of
Eze
13:15 "Thus
will I accomplish My
wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it
with untempered mortar;
and I will say to you, 'The
wall is
no more,
nor those who plastered it,
Eze
13:16 that
is, the prophets of Israel
who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see
visions of peace for her when there is
no peace,' " says the
Lord GOD.
False prophets
must reap what they have sown.
These scripture
are very serious, even if we are righteous we cannot
save our own children,
these things are that serious.
Eze
14:20 even
though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I
live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver
neither son nor
daughter; they would deliver only
themselves by their righteousness."
Eze
14:21 For
thus says the Lord GOD:
"How much more it shall be when I send My four
severe judgments on
Jerusalem the sword and famine and wild beasts and
pestilence to cut off man
and beast from it?
The following
scriptures are a brief description of the terrible
times ahead in the time of
Jacob’s trouble.
Jer
30:7 Alas!
For that day is
great, So that none is like
it; And it is
the time of Jacob's trouble, But
he shall be saved out of it.
We know that a
terrible time is coming for
Eze
5:10 Therefore
fathers shall eat their
sons in your midst, and sons
shall eat their fathers; and I will execute
judgments among you, and all of you
who remain I will scatter to all the winds.
Eze
5:11 'Therefore,
as I live,' says the Lord GOD,
'surely, because you have defiled
My sanctuary with all your detestable things and
with all your abominations,
therefore I will also diminish you;
My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.
Look at these
dreadful events during Jacob’s trouble people eating
each other, fathers eating
their own sons and sons eating their own
fathers. This sounds almost too
horrible to believe, but it is going to happen.
God is sick of their
dreadful ways, and they must learn to change from
their sins.
Notice this
dreadful description of
Lev
26:39 And
those of you who are left
shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies'
lands; also in their
fathers' iniquities, which are with them, they shall
waste away.
Lev
26:40 'But if they confess their iniquity
and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they
were unfaithful to Me, and
that they also have walked contrary to Me,
Lev
26:41 and
that I also have walked contrary to
them and have brought them
into the land of their enemies; if their
uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and
they accept their guilt
Lev
26:42 then
I will remember My covenant
with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My
covenant with Abraham I will
remember; I will remember the land.
Unless
Once
Luk
1:16 And
he will turn many of the
children of
Luk
1:17 He
will also go before Him in the
spirit and power of Elijah, 'TO TURN THE HEARTS OF
THE FATHERS TO THE
CHILDREN,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the
just, to make ready a
people prepared for the Lord."
Mal
4:5 Behold,
I will send you Elijah the
prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful
day of the LORD.
Mal
4:6 And
he will turn The hearts of the
fathers to the children, And the hearts of the
children to their fathers, Lest
I come and strike the earth with a curse.
People realise
Jacob’s trouble was necessary to cause
Eze
14:22 Yet
behold, there shall be left in
it a remnant who will be brought out, both
sons and daughters; surely they will come out to
you, and you will see their
ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted
concerning the disaster that
I have brought upon
Eze
14:23 And
they will comfort you, when
you see their ways and their doings; and you shall
know that I have done
nothing without cause that I have done in it," says
the Lord GOD.
The message of
Elijah will be that God is prepared to forgive
Also we know that Elijah will restore all things…
We also see in
the verses from Ezekiel that the captives will have a
change of heart, but
unfortunately it will take a great deal of suffering
before that is achieved.
Mat
17:10 And
His disciples asked Him,
saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah
must come first?"
Mat
17:11 Jesus
answered and said to them, "Indeed,
Elijah is coming first and will restore all
things.
You have probably
realised by now, that you have learnt very little new
knowledge in the church
since the death of Mr. Armstrong. The church
must continue to grow in
grace and knowledge. There are still many new
things to be learnt.
We see that the end time Elijah restores all
things. The end time Elijah
will have some fantastic new knowledge from God to
share with the final era of
His church.
During Jacob’s
Trouble the 5th seal occurs. The martyrdom
of saints, is included in
the 4th seal. God’s people are put to
death and persecuted
right up until Christ’s return. This is mainly
because they have to prove
their faithfulness. One of the biggest tests for
the church will be to
see if they are prepared to believe and accept the new
knowledge of eternal
life. Before
the martyrdom we know that
the gospel must have first been published.
Mar
13:9 "But
watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver
you up to councils, and you
will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be
brought before rulers and kings
for My sake, for a testimony to them.
Mar
13:10 And the
gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Notice the
context of the above scripture, it is talking about a
martyrdom and persecution
of saints, but before that will happen the gospel must
first be published.
It will be very difficult, once the persecution starts
to get any work done, so
it is made clear by Christ that the gospel will have
been published before the
martyrdom of saints begins.
Whilst
Hos
5:15 I
will return again to My place
Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will
seek My face; In their
affliction they will earnestly seek Me."
Then the Father
gets them out of
captivity.
Mic
2:12 "I
will surely assemble all of
you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of
Israel; I will put them
together like sheep of the fold, Like a flock in the
midst of their pasture;
They shall make a loud noise because of so
many people.
Mic
2:13 The
one who breaks open will come
up before them; They will break out, Pass through
the gate, And go out by it;
Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at
their head."
Read this
scripture over until you really understand what it
says, the Father goes to
Jer
30:9 But
they shall serve the LORD their
God, And David their king, Whom I will raise up for
them.
Jer
31:8 Behold,
I will bring them from the
north country, And gather them from the ends of the
earth, Among
them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child And the one who labors with
child, together; A great
throng shall return there.
Jer
31:9 They
shall come with weeping, And
with supplications I will lead them. I will cause
them to walk by the rivers of
waters, In a straight way in which they shall not
stumble; For I am a Father to
Eze
34:11 'For
thus says the Lord GOD:
"Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek
them out.
Eze
34:12 As
a shepherd seeks out his flock
on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will
I seek out My sheep and
deliver them from all the places where they were
scattered on a cloudy and dark
day.
Eze
34:13 And
I will bring them out from the
peoples and gather them from the countries, and will
bring them to their own
land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel,
in the valleys and in all
the inhabited places of the country.
Eze
34:14 I
will feed them in good pasture,
and their fold shall be on the high mountains of
Eze
34:15 I
will feed My flock, and I will make
them lie down," says the Lord GOD.
Jer
23:7 "Therefore,
behold, the
days are coming," says the
LORD, "that they shall no longer say, 'As the LORD
lives who brought up
the children of
Jer
23:8 but,
'As the LORD lives who brought
up and led the descendants of the house of
The Father says
He will search and seek for His sheep.
Notice verse 8 of Jeremiah 23. The Lord who brought up
and led the descendants
of the house of
Eze
34:23 I
will establish one shepherd over
them, and he shall feed them My servant David. He
shall feed them and be their
shepherd.
Eze
34:24 And
I, the LORD, will be their
God, and My servant David a prince among them; I,
the LORD, have spoken.
These fantastic
scriptures explain some wonderful new knowledge for
us, this is truly amazing.
God the Father returns and together with David, search
out
Now look at this
exciting scripture, what do you think is going to
happen to the nations which

bring them to their place, and the house of Israel
will possess them for
servants and maids in the land of the LORD; they
will take them captive whose
captives they were, and rule over their oppressors.
Isa
14:3 It
shall come to pass in the day
the LORD gives you rest from your sorrow, and from
your fear and the hard
bondage in which you were made to serve,

14:4 that
you will take up this proverb
against the king of Babylon, and say: "How the
oppressor has ceased, The
golden city ceased!

14:5 The
LORD has broken the staff of
the wicked, The scepter of the rulers;

Notice the
following scripture, when the Israelites come out of
captivity, God makes them
walk out on a highway, just as they did in the days
when they came out of
Isa
11:15 The
LORD will utterly destroy the
tongue of the Sea of Egypt; With His mighty wind He
will shake His fist over
the River, And strike it in the seven streams, And
make men cross over dryshod.
Isa
11:16 There
will be a highway for the
remnant of His people Who will be left from Assyria,
As it was for
Notice this
following scripture which shows that the Israelites
actually fight against,
plunder and defeat a number of nations on their return
from captivity.
Isa
11:12 He
will set up a banner for the
nations, And will assemble the outcasts of
Isa
11:13 Also
the envy of Ephraim shall
depart, And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut
off; Ephraim shall not envy
Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
Isa
11:14 But
they shall fly down upon the
shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the
people of the East; They shall lay their hand on
Edom and Moab; And the people
of Ammon shall obey them.
Isa
11:15 The
LORD will utterly destroy the
tongue of the Sea of Egypt; With His mighty wind He
will shake His fist over the
River, And strike it in the seven streams, And make
men cross over dryshod.
This is exciting
knowledge for us, and it would be a good idea to read
it again, and let this
wonderful knowledge sink in.
Once the
Israelites reach
Eze
43:10 "Son
of man, describe the
temple to the house of
Eze
43:11 And
if they are ashamed of all
that they have done, make known to them the design
of the temple and its
arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire
design and all its
ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that
they may keep its whole design
and all its ordinances, and perform them.
Eze
43:12 This
is the law of the temple: The whole
area surrounding the
mountaintop is most
holy.
Behold, this is the
law of the
temple.
If
Eze
40:4 And
the man said to me, "Son
of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears,
and fix your mind on
everything I show you; for you were
brought here so that I might show them
to you. Declare to the house of
Eze
43:7 And
He said to me, "Son of
man, this
is the place of My
throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where
I will dwell in the midst
of the children of
Eze
37:24 "David
My servant shall
be king over them, and they
shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in
My judgments and observe
My statutes, and do them.
Eze
37:25 Then
they shall dwell in the land
that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your
fathers dwelt; and they shall
dwell there, they, their children, and their
children's children, forever; and
My servant David shall be
their
prince forever.
Eze
37:26 Moreover
I will make a covenant of
peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting
covenant with them; I will
establish them and multiply them, and I will set My
sanctuary in their midst
forevermore.
Eze
37:27 My
tabernacle also shall be with
them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be
My people.
Eze
37:28 The
nations also will know that I,
the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in
their midst
forevermore." ' "
This is amazing
truth, God allows the Israelites under King David to
build His temple.
God will live with them forever.
These above
scriptures show that the Father with David will bring
Joe 3:1 "For
behold, in those days and at that
time, When I bring back the captives of
Joe
3:2 I
will also gather all nations, And
bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I
will enter into judgment
with them there On account of My people, My heritage
Israel, Whom they have
scattered among the nations; They have also divided
up My land.
The following
scripture shows what happens
when
Jer
16:14 "Therefore
behold, the days
are coming," says the LORD, "that it shall no more
be said, 'The LORD
lives who brought up the children of
Jer
16:15 but,
'The LORD lives who brought
up the children of
Isa
49:8 Thus
says the LORD: "In an
acceptable time I have heard You, And in the day of
salvation I have helped
You; I will preserve You and give You As a covenant
to the people, To restore
the earth, To cause them to inherit the desolate
heritages;
Isa
49:9 That
You may say to the prisoners,
'Go forth,' To those who are in
darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed along
the roads, And their
pastures shall
be on all
desolate heights.
Isa
49:10 They
shall neither hunger nor
thirst, Neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For
He who has mercy on them
will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will
guide them.
Isa
49:11 I
will make each of My mountains a
road, And My highways shall be elevated.
Isa
49:12 Surely
these shall come from afar;
Look! Those from the north and the west, And these
from the
Isa
49:13 Sing,
O heavens! Be joyful, O
earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For
the LORD has comforted His
people, And will have mercy on His afflicted.
Also on the way
back, many nations join themselves to
Isa
56:8 The
Lord GOD, who gathers the
outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet I will gather to him
Others
besides those who are gathered
to him."
Zec
2:11 "Many
nations shall be joined
to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My
people. And I will dwell in
your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of
hosts has sent Me to you.
The following
scripture shows that the above mentioned nations who
joined themselves to
Rev
7:9 After
these things I looked, and
behold, a great multitude which no one could number,
of all nations, tribes,
peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and
before the Lamb, clothed
with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
Rev
7:14 And
I said to him, "Sir, you
know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who
come out of the
great tribulation, and washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of
the Lamb.
Notice this
amazing new knowledge regarding the children of the
people who were taken
captive. In Deut. 28 v 32 it was shown that the
Israelites watched in
vain as their children were taken from them.
Deu
28:32 Your
sons and your daughters shall be
given to another people, and
your eyes shall look and fail with
longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your
hand.
Now we see what
actually happens to those
children, when God sets His hand to rescue His people
from captivity.
Isa
49:20 The
children you will have, After
you have lost the others, Will say again in your
ears, 'The place is too
small for me; Give me a place
where I may dwell.'
Isa
49:21 Then
you will say in your heart,
'Who has begotten these for me, Since I have lost my
children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro? And who has
brought these up? There I was,
left alone; But these, where were
they?' "
Isa
49:22 Thus
says the Lord GOD:
"Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the
nations, And set up My
standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons
in their arms, And your daughters
shall be carried on their
shoulders;
Isa
49:23 Kings
shall be your foster
fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They
shall bow down to you with
their
faces to the earth, And
lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know
that I am
the LORD, For they shall not be
ashamed who wait for Me."
That is just
amazing, the children of the captive nation of
And again notice
this great scripture.
Isa
49:25 But
thus says the LORD: "Even
the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And
the prey of the terrible be
delivered; For I will contend with him who contends
with you, And I will save
your children.
Isa
49:26 I
will feed those who oppress you
with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with
their own blood as with
sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the LORD, am your Savior, And your Redeemer,
the Mighty One of
Jacob."
The following
scripture indicates that it was necessary for
Eze
14:22 Yet
behold, there shall be left in
it a remnant who will be brought out, both
sons and daughters; surely they will come out to
you, and you will see their
ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted
concerning the disaster that
I have brought upon
Eze 14:23 And they
will comfort you, when you see their
ways and their doings; and you shall know that I
have done nothing without
cause that I have done in it," says the Lord GOD.
Incredible as it
may seem even the Israelites themselves admit that
they had to go through Jacob’s
Trouble. They
loathe themselves for the
evils which they have committed, and they understand
why God had to bring this
disaster on them.
Eze
6:9 Then
those of you who escape will
remember Me among the nations where they are carried
captive, because I was
crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed
from Me, and by their eyes
which play the harlot after their idols; they will
loathe themselves for the
evils which they committed in all their
abominations.
Eze
6:10 And
they shall know that I am the
LORD; I have not said in vain
that I would bring this calamity upon them."
The below
scripture
will make great headlines after
Isa
48:20 Go
forth from
Isa
48:21 And
they did not thirst When He
led them through the deserts; He caused the waters
to flow from the rock for
them; He also split the rock, and the waters gushed
out.
Isa
48:22 "There is no peace," says the LORD,
"for the
wicked."
The Holy One of
Israel will be made known to the entire world.
Isa
66:19 I
will set a sign among them; and
those among them who escape I will send to the
nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who
draw the bow, and Tubal and
Javan, to
the coastlands afar
off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory.
And they shall declare My
glory among the Gentiles.
The whole world
will at last know the truth about the Father, and
Christ.
THEN THE
MARTYRDOM OF SAINTS
Rev
6:9 When
He opened the fifth seal, I saw
under the altar the souls of those who had been
slain for the word of God and
for the testimony which they held.
Rev
6:10 And
they cried with a loud voice,
saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You
judge and avenge our
blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
Rev
6:11 Then
a white robe was given to each
of them; and it was said to them that they should
rest a little while longer,
until both the
number of their
fellow servants and their brethren, who would be
killed as they were,
was completed.
Mat
24:9 "Then
they will deliver
you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be
hated by all nations for My
name's sake.
Mat
24:10 And
then many will be
offended, will betray one another, and will hate one
another.
These above
scriptures make it plain that there is going to be a
martyrdom of saints
brought on by Satan. Notice the scriptures below
showing how the true
firstfruits of God will be treated by their own
brethren, the actual members of
God’s church.
Isa
66:5 Hear
the word of the LORD, You who
tremble at His word: "Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My
name's sake, said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, That
we may see your joy.' But
they shall be ashamed."
The brethren
think, in some strange way, that the ones being cast
out will do some harm to
them or damage their beliefs. Because they have
cast out the brethren
they think God should be glorified. But look
what happens to them…… they
shall be ashamed.
Let’s notice what
the book of Daniel has to say about this time.
We pick up the story
speaking of the King of the North….
Dan
11:29 "At
the appointed time he
shall return and go toward the south; but it shall
not be like the former or
the latter.
Dan
11:30 For
ships from Cyprus shall come
against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and
return in rage against the holy
covenant, and do damage.
"So he shall return and show regard for those who
forsake the holy
covenant.
Dan
11:31 And
forces shall be mustered by
him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress;
then they shall take away
the daily sacrifices,
and place
there
the abomination of
desolation.
This event
happens just prior to the Day of the Lord, please see
Matt 24 v 15-22, but
we have put it in here to show the flow of events
leading into the Martyrdom of
Saints.
Now we see in the
following scriptures the trouble that God’s people
then encounter.
Dan
11:32 Those
who do wickedly against the
covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the
people who know their God
shall be strong, and carry out great
exploits.
Notice there will
be action against the covenant. But the people
who KNOW their God
will be strong and do great exploits. It is so
very important that we
know God the Father and Christ. There is new end
time knowledge about God
the Father and Christ at this web site, be sure to
read it and learn it.
Look how vital it is to know about God in these end
times.
Dan 11:33 And those
of the people who understand shall
instruct many; yet for many
days they shall fall by sword and flame, by
captivity and plundering.
There are some
who know their God and teach many, but unfortunately
the people being taught
still go through Jacob’s Trouble and martyrdom.
Unfortunately they left
things too late and needed to be tried in the fire for
righteousness sake.
Now notice what
happens next.
Dan
11:34 Now
when they fall, they shall be
aided with a little help; but many shall join with
them by intrigue.
This is sad
indeed, we see that there is a
group of God’s people, who know the truth, know their
God and teach others
about it, but it would appear they are only a small
group. Then when
other church people see that they have the truth, they
join them,
but in
hypocrisy. How sad that is
and yet there are many scriptures that back up this
very disturbing situation.
Eze
33:31 So
they come to you as people do,
they sit before you as My
people, and they hear your words, but they do not do
them; for with their mouth
they show much love, but
their
hearts pursue their own
gain.
Mat
25:10 And
while they went to buy,
the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went
in with him to the wedding;
and the door was shut.
Mat
25:11 "Afterward
the other
virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'
Mat
25:12 But
he answered and said,
'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'
The above
scripture shows a very sad picture for quite a number
in God’s church so we
must be very careful to be diligent in our calling.
Notice that even
some of those who have insight will be
martyred. They too have to be
refined for their own good.
Dan
11:35 And
some of those of understanding
shall fall, to refine them,
purify them,
and make them
white, until the time of the end; because
it is still for the appointed time.
Let’s notice an
amazing fact... the Father returns, read on for some
wonderful new knowledge.
DURING THE
MARTYRDOM OF SAINTS GOD THE FATHER RETURNS TO THE
EARTH.
THE FATHER
RETURNS WITH THE SAINTS.
Dan
7:21 "I
was watching; and the same
horn was making war against the saints, and
prevailing against them,
Dan
7:22 until
the Ancient of Days came, and
a judgment was made in favor
of
the saints of the Most High, and the time came for
the saints to possess the
kingdom.
This is plain and
simple truth from the pages of your bible, God the
Father returns during the
martyrdom of Saints.
We will show by
scripture that the Father returns during the
martyrdom, however the martyrdom
lasts all the way through to the 7th trump.
Zec
14:5 Then
you shall flee through
My mountain valley, For the
mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall
flee As you fled from the
earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of
Do not think that
this verse refers to Christ, it does not, this is
talking about the Father.
Notice what we have seen clearly so far, the Father
returns during the
martyrdom of saints and He returns with the
saints. These are the
resurrected saints which are dead at this present time
eg. Abraham,
Moses, Daniel, etc. these are returning with the
Father.
1Th
4:14 For
if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so God will bring with Him
those who sleep in Jesus.
Jud
1:14 Now
Enoch, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold,
the Lord comes with ten
thousands of His saints,
Deu
33:2 And
he said: "The LORD came
from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone
forth from Mount Paran, And
He came with ten thousands of saints; From His right
hand Came
a fiery law for them.
Deu
33:3 Yes,
He loves the people; All His
saints are
in Your hand; They
sit down at Your feet; Everyone
receives Your words.
Read these
scriptures over again, God the Father comes with the
saints.
CHRIST
RETURNS WITH THE ANGELS
Mat
16:27 For the
Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father
with His angels, and then He
will reward each according to his works.
2Th
1:7 and
to give you who are troubled rest with
us when the Lord Jesus is revealed
from heaven with His mighty angels,
Rev
19:11 Now
I saw heaven opened, and
behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and
in righteousness He judges and
makes war.
Rev
19:12 His
eyes were like a flame of fire, and on
His head were
many crowns. He had a name
written that no one knew except Himself.
Rev
19:13 He
was clothed with a robe dipped in
blood, and His name is called
The Word of God.
Rev
19:14 And
the armies in heaven, clothed
in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on
white horses.
Rev
19:15 Now
out of His mouth goes a sharp
sword, that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them
with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress
of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God.
Rev
19:16 And
He has on His
robe and on His thigh a name
written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
These above
scriptures confirm this amazing new knowledge that the
Father returns during
the martyrdom of saints, with the resurrected saints.
Jesus returns with the angels.
The sixth seal is
the heavenly signs, this ushers in the Day of the
Lord.
Rev
6:12 I
looked when He opened the sixth
seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and
the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
Rev
6:13 And
the stars of heaven fell to the
earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is
shaken by a mighty wind.
Rev
6:14 Then
the sky receded as a scroll
when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island
was moved out of its place.
Rev
6:15 And
the kings of the earth, the
great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty
men, every slave and every
free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the
rocks of the mountains,
Rev
6:16 and
said to the mountains and
rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him
who sits on the throne
and from the wrath of the Lamb!
Rev
6:17 For
the great day of His wrath has
come, and who is able to stand?"
Joe
2:30 "And
I will show wonders in
the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and
pillars of smoke.
Joe
2:31 The
sun shall be turned into
darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming
of the great and awesome
day of the LORD.
Joe
2:32 And
it shall come to pass That
whoever calls on the name of the
LORD Shall be saved. For in
Isa
34:4 All
the host of heaven shall be
dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a
scroll; All their host
shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And
as fruit falling from a fig tree.
Now after the
heavenly signs and before the Day of the Lord, we see
the sealing of the
144,000. These are the firstfruits of God.
These are the dead
saints and some who are alive at this time who qualify
to be firstfruits.
This means that the dead saints are resurrected at
this time. We
know that they come to earth with the
Father, which has been proved in the above
scripture. So this is showing
that they are alive, and sealed at this time.
Rev
7:3 saying,
"Do not harm the earth,
the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the
servants of our God on their
foreheads."
This seal is not
the Holy Spirit. God’s people already have His Spirit,
it is the Father’s name
on their foreheads.
Rev 14:1 Then I
looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on
Mount
Notice, also that
the firstfruits include
the dead saints and those who are alive and who
qualify to be
firstfruits. Notice the live saints are sealed
at this time.
Remember the dead are raised first, the live saints
are changed after the dead
saints are resurrected. Notice this scripture
which shows that the live
saints are sealed, therefore they are firstfruits.
Rev
9:4 They
were commanded not to harm the
grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree,
but only those men who do
not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
This above
scripture depicts an event during the blowing of the 5th
trumpet,
the 1st Woe, during the 7th
seal. This event occurs
after the sealing of the 144,000.
So we see that
the firstfruits are sealed, they belong to God the
Father and Christ, they are
sealed before the 7 trumpets. You might
challenge the time setting, as
this is not the last trump, but a careful study of
scripture shows that the
Firstfruits are special, different from the saints in
some ways:-
1Co
15:23 But
each one in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who
are Christ's at His coming.
Also notice
1Co
15:52 in
a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The word
"at" is explained in the Strong’s concordance, which
is quite
remarkable, as these prepositions are not usually
discussed, however this word
at can mean before.
With the above
information in mind, we see that the 144,000
firstfruits are sealed when the
scripture states - before the 7 trumpets.
Rev
14:4 These
are the ones who were not
defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are
the ones who follow the
Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being
firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
After the sealing
of the firstfruits, the day of the Lord starts.
Also the event of
the appearance of six men and a man with an
inkhorn. Those who sigh over
THE
Eze 9:1 Then He
called out in my hearing with a loud
voice, saying, "Let those who have charge over the
city draw near, each with a
deadly weapon in his
hand."
Eze
9:2 And
suddenly six men came from the
direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each
with his battle-ax in his
hand. One man among them was
clothed with linen and had a writer's inkhorn at his
side. They went in and
stood beside the bronze altar.
Eze
9:3 Now
the glory of the God of Israel
had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to
the threshold of the temple.
And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's inkhorn at his
side;
Eze
9:4 and
the LORD said to him, "Go
through the midst of the city, through the midst of
Jerusalem, and put a mark
on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over
all the abominations that are
done within it."
Eze
9:5 To
the others He said in my hearing,
"Go after him through the city and kill; do not let
your eye spare, nor
have any pity.
Eze
9:6 Utterly
slay old and
young men, maidens and little
children and women; but do not come near anyone on
whom is the mark; and begin at My
sanctuary." So they began with
the elders who were
before the
temple.
Those who have
the mark on their foreheads are spared this slaughter.
They have their hearts right with God and are
horrified at the way man is
living his life here on earth. The way of God is
forgotten and blasphemed, man
just does any imagination of his heart, there is no
fear of God. These
people, who have the mark, will be marked out and will
not have to suffer this
impending slaughter. They have not defiled the temple.
Many things
happen at the return of the Father. One
of them is that at this time the abomination of
desolation is set up in the
temple.
Remember that the Israelites built the temple under
the direct supervision of
King David. Now some of the church members have
turned against the true
members of God’s church and taken the side of the
little horn. This has
resulted in the temple being defiled.
Dan
11:31 And
forces shall be mustered by
him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress;
then they shall take away
the daily sacrifices,
and place
there
the abomination of
desolation.
When the
Father returns He stands on the
Zec
14:4 And
in that day His feet will stand
on the Mount of Olives, Which faces
Zec
14:5 Then
you shall flee through
My mountain valley, For the
mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall
flee As you fled from the
earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of
The following
scripture is possibly dual,
referring to
It could well be
that when the church
members accept the knowledge of the truth, they
qualify to be protected from
the dragon during this time. They flee
to a place prepared by God to be fed for one thousand
two hundred and sixty
days.
Rev
12:3 And
another sign appeared in
heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having
seven heads and ten horns, and
seven diadems on his heads.
Rev
12:4 His
tail drew a third of the stars
of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the
dragon stood before the woman
who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as
soon as it was born.
Rev
12:5 She
bore a male Child who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child
was caught up to God and His
throne.
Rev
12:6 Then
the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God,
that they should feed her
there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Luk 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always
that you may be counted
worthy to escape all these things that will come
to pass, and to stand before
the Son of
After the dragon
is cast to the earth he
persecutes the woman,
{church}.
The church then flies to her place where she is
nourished from
the presence of the
serpent. These church
members have now
accepted the knowledge of
the truth and have also qualified to be protected.
Rev
12:13 Now
when the dragon saw that he
had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman
who gave birth to the male Child.
Rev
12:14 But
the woman was given two wings
of a great eagle, that she might fly into the
wilderness to her place, where
she is nourished for a time and times and half a
time, from the presence of the
serpent.
Rev
12:15 So
the serpent spewed water out of
his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he
might cause her to be carried
away by the flood.
Rev
12:16 But
the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the
flood which the dragon had
spewed out of his mouth.
Now we see there
are still church members
who are left and have not qualified to be taken to
safety. These
brethren have to be tested in severe
trials to prove faithful to God. God
must be very sure of His people, eternal life is at
stake. Notice
the dragon goes to make war with them.
Rev
12:17 And
the dragon was enraged with
the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of
her offspring, who keep the
commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
THEN THE DAY OF
THE LORD
The Seventh Seal
is The Day of the Lord it is a time of God’s wrath on
the gentile nations, it
comes on them due to their heart and mind and
behaviour. They are totally
rebellious, they worship idols they have ignored God’s
statutes and ordinances,
they are proud and lofty, haughty, sinners, they are
liars, they deal falsely
with each other and show no love or compassion.
They oppress the poor,
the fatherless and the orphan. They must change
their ways and the only
way this will happen is the Day of the Lord.
The Day of the
Lord is divided into 7 trumpets, the last 3 trumpets
are 3 woes. The last
trump or the third woe is divided into 7 plagues.
1st
TRUMPET
Rev
8:7 The
first angel sounded: And hail
and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were
thrown to the earth. And a
third of the trees were burned up, and all green
grass was burned up.
During the first
trump, Gog and Magog come up against
These nations think that
Eze
38:8 After
many days you will be
visited. In the latter years you will come into the
land of those brought back
from the sword and
gathered
from many people on the mountains of Israel, which
had long been desolate; they
were brought out of the nations, and now all of them
dwell safely.
Eze
38:9 You
will ascend, coming like a
storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all
your troops and many peoples
with you."
Eze
38:10 'Thus
says the Lord GOD: "On
that day it shall come to pass that
thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make
an evil plan:
Eze
38:11 You
will say, 'I will go up
against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a
peaceful people, who dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and
having neither bars nor gates'
Eze
38:12 to
take plunder and to take booty,
to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and
against a people gathered from the
nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who
dwell in the midst of the
land.
The Lord does not
stand by and let these nations destroy
Eze
38:22 And
I will bring him to judgment
with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on
him, on his troops, and on
the many peoples who are with
him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
Eze 38:23 Thus I
will magnify Myself and sanctify
Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many
nations. Then they shall know
that I am
the LORD." '
2nd
TRUMPET
Rev
8:8 Then
the second angel sounded: And something
like a great mountain
burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a
third of the sea became blood.
Rev
8:9 And
a third of the living creatures
in the sea died, and a third of the ships were
destroyed.
3rd
TRUMPET
Rev
8:10 Then
the third angel sounded: And a
great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch,
and it fell on a third of
the rivers and on the springs of water.
Rev
8:11 The
name of the star is Wormwood. A
third of the waters became wormwood, and many men
died from the water, because
it was made bitter.
4th
TRUMPET
Rev 8:12 Then the
fourth angel sounded: And a third of
the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third
of the stars, so that a
third of them were darkened. A third of the day did
not shine, and likewise the
night.
5th
TRUMPET
1st WOE
Rev 9:1 Then the
fifth angel sounded: And I saw a
star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was
given the key to the
bottomless pit.
Rev
9:2 And
he opened the bottomless pit,
and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a
great furnace. So the sun
and the air were darkened because of the smoke of
the pit.
Rev
9:3 Then
out of the smoke locusts came
upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the
scorpions of the earth have
power.
Rev
9:4 They
were commanded not to harm the
grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree,
but only those men who do
not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Rev
9:5 And
they were not given authority
to kill them, but to
torment them for five
months.
Their torment was like
the
torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
Rev
9:6 In
those days men will seek death
and will not find it; they will desire to die, and
death will flee from them.
Rev
9:7 The
shape of the locusts was like
horses prepared for battle. On their heads were
crowns of something like gold,
and their faces were
like the
faces of men.
Rev
9:8 They
had hair like women's hair, and
their teeth were like lions' teeth.
Rev
9:9 And
they had breastplates like
breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with
many horses running into
battle.
Rev
9:10 They
had tails like scorpions, and
there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.
Rev
9:11 And
they had as king over them the
angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the
name Apollyon.
6th
TRUMPET
2ND
WOE
Rev
9:13 Then
the sixth angel sounded: And I
heard a voice from the four horns of the golden
altar which is before God,
Rev
9:14 saying
to the sixth angel who had
the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound
at the great river
Rev
9:15 So
the four angels, who had been
prepared for the hour and day and month and year,
were released to kill a third
of mankind.
Rev
9:16 Now
the number of the army of the
horsemen was
two hundred
million; I heard the number of them.
Rev
9:17 And
thus I saw the horses in the
vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of
fiery red, hyacinth blue, and
sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and
out of their mouths came fire,
smoke, and brimstone.
Rev
9:18 By
these three plagues
a third of mankind was killed
by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which
came out of their mouths.
Rev
9:19 For
their power is in their mouth
and in their tails; for their tails are
like serpents, having heads; and with them they do
harm.
Rev
9:20 But
the rest of mankind, who were
not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the
works of their hands, that
they should not worship demons, and idols of gold,
silver, brass, stone, and
wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
Rev
9:21 And
they did not repent of their
murders or their sorceries or their sexual
immorality or their thefts.
Before the 7th
Trump sounds God’s end time prophet eats a little
book. As mentioned
earlier. The Ezekiel scroll represents the warning to
the modern day Israelites
about the impending time of Jacob’s Trouble, and the
little book in Revelation
10 is a warning to the gentile nations, as the end
time prophet is told to
prophesy again to Kings, nations, peoples and
tongues. This warning is
likened to the final warning which Moses took to
Pharaoh before the 10 plagues
were sent on
The end time
prophet is also instructed to measure the
The two witnesses
are prophesying at this time, we do not know when they
start their commission,
but we know that they are killed at the end of the 2nd
Woe, which is
the end of the 6th trumpet. We know
they prophesy for 1260
days. Among their many duties, they warn of the Day of
the Lord.
They have power over the rain and the waters and can
defend themselves with
fire. These are modern day types of Moses and
Elijah.
7th
TRUMPET
3rd WOE SEVEN
LAST PLAQUES
This is the last
trump, it is divided into the 7 bowls of wrath or 7
last plagues which God
pours out on the gentile nations.
Once the 7th
trump is sounded, we see that the Father and Christ
begin to rule.
Rev
11:15 Then
the seventh angel sounded:
And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The
kingdoms of this world
have become the kingdoms
of our
Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever
and ever!"
Even though we
know The Father has always been in charge, we
also know that Satan is the
God of this world, and has continued to lead this
world into misery,
destruction, deception, and despair. At
this point the Father and
Christ begin to reign.
Then the long
awaited judgment and reward of the dead. The
bond-servants, the prophets,
the saints and those who fear God’s name.
Rev
11:18 The
nations were angry, and Your
wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, And that
You should reward Your servants the prophets and the
saints, And those who fear
Your name, small and great, And should destroy those
who destroy the
earth."
We then see a war
in heaven and Satan and his demons were cast down to
earth, and salvation,
power and the Kingdom of God comes and authority of
Christ.
Rev
12:10 Then
I heard a loud voice saying
in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and
the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser
of our brethren, who accused
them before our God day and night, has been cast
down.
Satan's rule is
now ended and Christ and the Father begin the
