Trumpet Warnings Series #9 - Part 119 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 

 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...Rev. 8:12.  In the last blog, we defined the symbolism of the - sun, moon, stars - in the trumpet blast of the 4th angel, as world leaders - secular & religious - who will have their minds darkened by doctrines of demons.  Malevolent spiritual entities will posses them and rule their lives, as they rule the people by injustice, deception, dishonesty, and cruelty.

 

As these possessed rulers surrender their allegiance to Satan, they will deify themselves - becoming gods - yet they are actually tools of Satan - kidnapping as many human beings as possible for the Kingdom of Darkness. 

 

God does have a plan for every human being that is born on the earth, but He also gives them a will - the power to choose to follow Him - or - Satan.  So how will Satan snatch - kidnap - human beings out of the hands of God before His plans for their lives can be fulfilled?

 

Government rulers all over the world will legalize immorality, murder, and paganism by making unlawful the name of Jesus Christ, His Bible and Christianity.  They will aggressively remove any semblance of the existence of Jesus Christ, while pseudo-Christian leaders will gain followers by  deception - assuring the people that everyone will go to Heaven, because there is no Hell. 

 

They will also convince these blind followers that God is Love and would never send anyone to Hell, even if it did exist.  If the people read the Bible, they would find out that God sends no one to Hell - they choose to go there by denying the existence of Jesus Christ and His blood sacrifice for their sins.

 

This is why throughout the Christian era that government rulers - secular & religious - have viciously and aggressively burned the Bible by the billions - if the people ever read it they would learn these leaders are lying to them.  Satan has infiltrated governments and religious denominations - masquerading as an Angel of Light - where he possesses these leaders who have become his tools to perpetrate a cunning and nefarious plot to kidnap human beings from Jesus Christ - by successfully convincing them to reject what Jesus has told them about His glorious plan of salvation - they did chose.

 

While this barbaric attempt to violently destroy Jesus Christ and His Bible has been active throughout the Christian era in many nations, the 21st century reveals a rabid escalation of violence against Christians in every nation on the earth.  The rulers of every nation on the earth are following the path of Lucifer (Satan) - the one who attempted to raise his throne above the throne of the Creator...Is. 14:13.  No created man - or angel like Lucifer - can become a god nor can become God, the Creator of the universe.

 

The light of Jesus Christ will be snuffed out - darkened - in most parts of the planet - due to the fiendish fervor of paganism - murdering God's kids.  Spiritual depravity and degeneration of morality will precipitate the anarchy and chaos that will incite the people on the earth, during the 4th trumpet blast.  Look around - the evidence across the planet is clear.  All we see now, every time we scan the Internet or listen to a broadcast, is the escalation of violence being perpetrated against every human being - culture of death - who will not submit to pagan rulers. 

 

Developed countries, including the USA, are aggressively scrubbing Jesus Christ and His Bible from their societies, while endorsing a vicious and violent pagan religion - forced upon their own people - who have been shamed into silent submission.  Those who will not submit to this pagan religious government, embraced by the rulers of developed countries, will be imprisoned or murdered - just as depicted by the symbolism of the trumpet warning of the 4th angel. Watch for the signs of the times.

 

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, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound."...Rev. 8:13.  The exclamation of grief from the angel in this text is of a desperate nature, since it is expressed loudly three times - we must pay close attention to the next trumpet warnings.  These three woes that are coming will adversely affect everything on the planet - man, animals and vegetation - all life forms.

 

What is the ominous warning - woes - of the 5th & 6th angel?  Stay tuned...

Trumpet Warnings Series #8 - Part 118 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 

 

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...Rev. 8:12.  Before we begin to define the symbolism in the warnings of the 4th angel, keep in mind that the number 3 symbolizes Divine - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  When three is used in prophecy of scripture, it reveals God's hand in the prediction.

 

The number 4 symbolizes change in the heavens or the earth.  In this text, the sun, moon and stars metaphorically describe people in authority - religious and secular - who are ruled by Satan and his sinister doctrines of demons.  These rulers will devastate and destroy their own citizens during the Christian era, in order to maintain their powerful stranglehold on the masses.  So during the Christian era, great change in the heavens and the earth will be accomplished

 

The 4th trumpet blast is a forbidding warning to the people of the earth.  Is it a coincidence that the sun, moon, and stars were created on the 4th day of creation, and now, metaphorically symbolize the judgment within the 4th trumpet blast?   Food for thought...

 

The sun is the greater light and was given authority over the day, while the moon is the lesser light, along with the stars, and was given authority over the night.  When the sun, moon and stars do not giver their light, this symbolizes the spiritual understanding of world leaders - religious and secular - will be contaminated - their understanding will be darkened by sinister doctrines of demons - under Satan's control.

 

Before we can fully understand this symbolism, we must take a look at ancient history - Old Testament.  In the days of the Prophet Jacob, his son Joseph had a dream where he saw the sun, moon, and eleven stars bow down to him...Gen. 37:9-10.  Jacob interpreted the sun, moon and stars to symbolize himself, Joseph's mother, and brothers.  So we can see that prophets used the constellations to symbolize great rulers, lesser rulers, and people of prominence.

 

Keep in mind that Satan is the initiator of all evil that is accomplished under the trump warnings.  If the sun, moon, and stars symbolize rulers of nations in every degree of authority and power, and a third of them were darkened - Satan is responsible. But, it is the judgment of God on their sin.  What does darkened symbolize?

 

The word darkened symbolizes how ominous and superstitious doctrines of demons will influence the lives of those in powerful positions of authority (sun), producing perversity and corruption.  The term third symbolizes God's divine judgment upon these leaders, throughout the Christian era.  Governing authorities - political and religious - will succumb to the seduction of these poisonous false religious doctrines - bitter water of Wormwood - causing them to defy the Ruler and Creator of the universe.  They will thumb their noses at the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

All authorities and dominions - sun, moon, stars - in opposition to Jesus Christ will become more depraved, more defiant, more insolent, and more unjust as their minds gradually darken by the influence of these sinister doctrines of demons.  Rebellion against their Creator will open the door for the entrance of malevolent spiritual entities - demons - to possess them and rule their lives.  Men will deify themselves - becoming gods.  Yet, they are only tools of Satan - fulfilling his plans and purposes by kidnapping as many human beings as possible - snatched out of the hands of God before His plans for their lives can be accomplished.

 

How will Satan accomplish this feat?  Stay tuned...

Trumpet Warnings Series #7 - Part 117 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 

 

In chapter 8 of Revelation John saw Jesus open the 7th seal revealing 7 angels with 7 trumpets.  This chapter reveals in symbolism, future events that will take place on earth during the Christian era.  We have defined the symbolism within the trumpet blasts of the first two angels. 

 

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...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.  The name of the star that fell from Heaven is Wormwood.  Who is this star?

Before we reveal who Wormwood symbolizes, we must define wormwood:  to curse, poison, make bitter - tyranny.  The great star in this text fell from Heaven burning like a torch.  The only star that fell from Heaven was named Lucifer. How do I know this?

Lucifer is a created angelic being, an anointed cherub, established on the holy mountain of God - by God...Ez. 28:14.  In the original Hebrew language the name Lucifer means:  morning star.  After Lucifer rebelled against God, God cast him from His presence, where he was transformed into Satan - an adversary - the accuser.

Later, when Jesus was resurrected from the grave, Satan was cast to the earth, where he accuses human beings day and night.  It is this star that Jesus saw fall out of Heaven as lightning - burning like a torch.  Lucifer transformed the holy mountain of God into a destroying mountain of paganism.  Lucifer was so angry that he had been permanently cast from Heaven to the earth, that he began to exercise great wrath upon the inhabitants of the earth - knowing his time was short after Jesus conquered death...Rev. 12:10-12.

Satan was the tempter in the Garden of Eden.  Once he was cast permanently to the earth, knowing his time to tempt the inhabitants of the earth to sin against God was running out, the Apostle Peter warned God's people to be on the alert.  Peter said...Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring, seeking whom he may devour...resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...I Peter 5:8-9.

God always gives human beings a choice between good and evil.  Once the plan of salvation was presented to humankind, Jesus broke the bondage of death that Lucifer once held against them, by His triumph over the grave.  When Lucifer was permanently cast to the earth he initiated God's judgment on the world - God's rod of correction - and will continue until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.  At that time Jesus will gather His people to Himself and the earth will burn up.

The Apostle Peter describes this event clearly...But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up...II Peter 3:10.   Then Peter said...look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells...II Peter 3:13.  The word new in this text means:  different from which it had been formerly.

Now we understand that Satan is Wormwood, the star that fell from Heaven - walking on the earth like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.  Devour means:  swallow up.  How will his revenge manifest on the earth?

The holy mountain of God where Lucifer once dwelled, has been transformed into a great mountain burning with fire - a destroying mountain of paganism impacting the inhabitants of the earth with great force.  The rivers and springs of water will become bitter, symbolizing the poisoning of the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of the earth with sinister doctrines of demons, through false prophets claiming to be sent by God. 

Many men will die from the water, made bitter - from the poison of demon doctrines.  The Apostle Paul says...for such are false prophets, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ...and no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light...therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works...II Cor. 11:13-15.

In our modern society, worldwide, paganism and immorality is rampant.  Does your church name Satan and his false demon doctrines on this escalation of sin in our culture like scripture clearly states? Of course not!  They would rather be considered tolerant, progressive, purveyors of social justice, and politically correct by their society, rather than salt and light.  Jesus said...You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?  It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men...Matt. 5:13. 

When Christians try to be like the world - in order to be accepted - rather than being the salt and light of Christ, they will be trampled underfoot by the world.  This means rejected and disdained by the world they so wanted to be accepted by.  It is only the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ that will set people free from the grip of Satan and sin.  Christians are called to be Ambassadors for Christ calling all human beings to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ...II Cor. 5:17-21.

What symbolism will we find within the trumpet blast of the 4th angel?  Stay tuned...
