Jeus, The Revelator

We are continuing our study of the Book of Revelation and are at the place where God is pouring out His Wrath through Jesus on those who have rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior. As part of the fourth Trumpet Blast Revelation 8:13 says, "And I looked and I heard an angel flying through the midst of Heaven, saying with a loud voice, 'Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the Earth.'" There will be a total of seven Trumpet Blasts and the angel in Revelation 8:13 says Trumpet Blasts 5, 6, 7 will cause Woe to the people of the Earth.

Examining the result of the Fifth Trumpet Blast, Revelation 9:1-3 says, "Then the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fallen from Heaven to the Earth. And to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the Earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the Earth have power."

Locusts came upon the Earth and they will be given authority to torment people for five months. "Men will seek death and will not find it." {Revelation 9:6}

At the sound of the Sixth Trumpet, the four angels who are bound at the Euphrates River will be released. Why is this significant? These four angels will be released to kill a third of the people on the earth. {Revelation 9:15} 

We especially desire to bring to your attention Revelation 9:20,21 saying, "But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the work 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, and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts." This is certainly difficult to understand!

Revelation 11:15 says, "The kingdom of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever!" Yet, Revelation 11:19 says, "Then the temple of God was opened in Heaven and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thundering, an earthquake and great hail."

Jehovah God on His Throne is being worshipped but at the same time the earth is being shaken. Stay Tuned.
