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...

Trumpet Warnings Series #6 - Part 116 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation


When we were last together in this series we were defining the symbolism in 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.  A third, or the number 3, symbolizes Divine - Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. 

This verse describes Divine judgment has come to the earth, whereby throughout the Christian era mankind will experience calamities, tragedies, pain, devastation, destruction, and premature death, because of their persistent idolatry and immorality.  What does hail and green grass symbolize in this verse?

Green grass symbolizes fertility - growth of finances, material possessions, property and worldly knowledge of the idolaters on the earth.  But academic advancement, pursuit of philosophy, (which produces empty deceit) and the accruement of material wealth will be subject to failure, ruin or loss, during the time of the trumpet warnings. 

Hail symbolizes the voice of God wielding swift and sharp judgment directed at the idolaters on the earth...the Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered His voice, hailstones and coals of fire...Ps. 18:13.  God's judgments are not new, but the trumpet judgments are designed for a specific time period called the Christian era. 

Blood symbolizes death. Fire symbolizes the glory of God - His presence, His anointing.  God is declaring by His voice, that His glory - fire - is coming to the earth to judge idolatry and immorality.  Sin cannot stand in the presence - glory - of the Lord.  If sinners refuse to repent and surrender their allegiance to God, death will be the result. But...it will be their choice.

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...and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed...Rev. 8:8-9. 

Great mountain burning with fire, symbolizes the proliferation of false doctrines of demons that are violently intruding into the lives of human beings on the earth - contaminating their spiritual understanding of their Creator.  When the great mountain burning with fire is thrown into the sea it symbolizes force - the severe impact that these countless doctrines of demons will have on the hearts and minds of all mankind - spiritually poisoning them against Jesus Christ.

The Prophet Jeremiah addressed the symbolism for a burning mountain.  Behold, I am against you O destroying mountain, who destroys all the earth, says the Lord. And I will stretch out My hand against you, roll you down from the rocks, and make you a burnt mountain...Jer. 51:25.  Jeremiah is prophesying God's judgment that overwhelmed the inhabitants of Babylon long ago, when it was the occult worship center of the world...460 B.C.

He metaphorically refers to Babylon as a destroying mountain - an immense destructive force that would become a burnt mountain.  Burnt mountain symbolizes God's judgment on their idol worship - demon doctrines - which infiltrated the masses separating them from the love of God. Jeremiah's destroying mountain/burnt mountain is the great mountain burning with fire in the second trumpet blast - God's judgment on paganism - all false religious doctrines of demons - with devastating consequences to all mankind.

Sea symbolizes nations of people.  Sea became blood tells us these demon doctrines will cause immense loss of life with great sorrow, to multiplied millions of people during the Christian era.

Ships symbolizes commerce.  Ships destroyed symbolizes how serving false god's through allegiance to paganism will have a negative impact - depravity, corruption & deception - on commerce and trade throughout the Christian era.

Then the third angel sounded:  and a great star fell from Heaven.  The name of the star is Wormwood.  Who is the star that fell from Heaven named Wormwood?  Stay tuned...

Trumpet Warnings Series #5 - Part 115 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelaion

 

We are studying the symbolism of the seven trumpets in Revelation chapter 8. Last blog we ended with verse 6...the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.  After the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. the people of Israel were scattered across the planet, initiating the times of the Gentiles era.  After this occurs, the warnings of impending devastation and death within the sound of the trumpet blasts will gradually increase upon the inhabitants of the earth - judging their sins.

The grief that is coming upon the earth will be perpetrated by Satan and his minions in the guise of prophets of God, who actually are false prophets, propagating doctrines of demons.  Satan will infiltrate the governments of every nation, creating immoral pagan laws to oppress and subjugate their citizens.

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...Rev. 8:7.  Once the first trumpet gives its blast, we see hail and fire mingled with blood and thrown to the earth.  What does this symbolism reveal?

This symbolism is reminiscent of the days of Moses armed with signs and wonders, when God sent him to Pharaoh of Egypt - who tortured and enslaved His kids...Ex. 7:17 & 9:23. Although, in the days of Moses, these signs were literally natures wonders, directed by God, creating physical disturbances against this pagan society.

While the trumpet blasts depict that physical disturbances will come upon the inhabitants of the earth, their revelations use natural elements metaphorically to depict God's judgment on spiritual depravity - immorality and paganism.  The judgment of the trumpet blasts will gradually unfold during the Christian era, until the bowl judgments, revealed at the end of the ages, brings finality to sin and the works of the devil. The earth with its evil works will burn up...II Pet. 3:10.

What does the symbolism of #3 reveal...a third of the trees were burned up? The #3 symbolizes Divine - Father, Son & Holy Spirit.  So the message is - divine judgment has come to the earth.  As we define these symbols, we will find the inhabitants of the earth will be subjected to calamities, tragedies, pain, devastation, and premature death on the planet, because of their persistent idolatry - defying God's commandments.

Trees in scripture often symbolize people - prominent people in positions of leadership.  The prophet Daniel interpreted the pagan King Nebuchadnezzar as a tree in his dream...the tree that you saw...it is you...Dan. 4:20-22.  The Prophet Ezekiel referred to Assyria, a country of people as...a cedar in Lebanon, with fine branches that shaded the forest...Ez. 31:3.

Our study text metaphorically describes how people of prominence, while not excluding others, will experience the judgment of God on their paganism - burned up with fire.  The fire of God's wrath was thrown to the earth, because of the relentless brutality and bloody martyrdom of His saints - the true witnesses of His salvation, and the sacrifice of the innocent ones - their blood cries out from the ground as did innocent Abel's blood.

During the long Christian era, many prominent people will be deposed from important influential positions, while others will be brought to utter ruin by the public exposure of their corruption, as they encounter the consuming fire of God's judgment.  Yet, many ruthless barbaric leaders will continue to prosper, appearing untouched by this judgment - this is permitted by God.

What does hail and green grass symbolize...hail thrown to the earth...and all green grass was burned up?  Stay tuned...

Trumpet Warnings Series #4 - Part 114 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation


As we continue our study defining the symbolism of the seven trumpets in Revelation chapter 8, we must first define the symbolism for incense and smoke in verses 3 & 4...then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar...he was given incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne...and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.

What does incense symbolize?  In the days of the Israelites, incense was used as a purifying agent after a blood sacrifice for sin was offered to the Lord. Incense is sweet smelling, providing a favorable aroma to destroy the stench of death.  This natural act explains the symbolism in our text, where we see the angel mingling incense with the prayers of the saints before they ascend to God. 

The prayers of the saints are beseeching God to avenge the blood they have shed on the earth - martyr's death - for the cause of Christ.  Symbolically, we see the angel purifying the prayers of the saints- sacrifice of death - providing a sweet smelling fragrance as they ascend to God.  Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints...Ps. 116:15.

The smoke - vapors - of the sweet smelling incense is a conveyance, with the assistance of the angel, enabling the prayers to encircle the throne of God.  God hears the prayers of the repentant, those who seek His love and justice.  Remember, after the Shulamite woman rose up to seek her beloved Solomon, she said when she saw him...who is this coming out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrh and frankincense?...SS 3:6.  The smoke (vapors) filled with perfumed incense (purification) brought her to her beloved. God is the beloved in whom we seek.

Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth...and there were noises, thundering, lightnings, and an earthquake...Rev. 8:5.  A censer is used to burn sweet smelling incense, so why would the angel now fill it with fire and throw it down upon the earth?

God hears the prayers of His saints seeking His love and justice, provoking His wrath upon the earth to avenge the shedding of innocent blood. Fire in Heaven symbolizes His glory - glory symbolizes His presence.  No sin can stand in the presence of God without burning up.  When the fire - glory - is thrown to the earth, it symbolizes that His presence is revealed in His wrath upon the idolaters of the earth - those who murdered His saints who had witnessed the way of salvation to them. God's wrath is revealed through the Trumpet Warnings.

The verse also says...and there were noises, thundering, lightnings, and an earthquake - what does this symbolize?  This means there was a great uproar - rejoicing - in Heaven.  Lightning symbolizes the splashing of colorful rays of light throughout the spiritual realm.  Noises and thunder symbolize the tumultuous sounds exhibited by the exuberant rejoicing from the angels, and the redeemed human beings, causing a massive quaking and shaking.  Earthquake symbolizes societal upheaval on the earth. Why was all of this exuberant rejoicing taking place?

The firstfruits of salvation who had finally arrived in Heaven, along with the angelic army of God who had participated in this event, are ecstatic that judgment was finally coming to the immoral idolaters of the earth - Egypt & Sodom - revealing that the time of the end of the ages was in sight.  The angels had waited so long to see Jesus accomplish His work on the earth - the redemption of mankind - and the end of evil when Satan is thrown in the Lake of Fire.

The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound...verse 6.  What happens next?  Stay tuned...

Trumpet Warnings Series #3 - Part 113 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation



In the last blog I defined the many uses for a trumpet in the Jewish culture - earthly realm - during the time John received his visions.  I left you with the question, "What scripture reveals a very important blast - a coronation - from a trumpet blown my an angel in the spiritual realm?
 
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in Heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory...and He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other...Matt. 24:30-31.
 
This text reveals how a great sound of a trumpet will be blasted by God's angels, heard at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, when they will gather together His saints (elect) to take them off the earth, before it burns. The word great in the Greek language is megas.  The English word mega is derived from it - meaning:  megaphone - amplified a million times.  This definition insinuates this trumpet blast will be heard by everyone, everywhere, because of its great sound.
 
In the parable of the Wheat and the Tares this event is described as the harvest of the earth by His reapersFirst gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn...Matt. 13:30.  The tares symbolize followers of Satan, and wheat symbolizes followers of Jesus Christ. 
 
This trumpet blast musters God's invisible spiritual troops - Endtime Reapers - to gather together His saints from the whole earth - from the four winds - for their coronation.  This is the return of Jesus Christ and the end of the world, as the Apostle Peter prophesied.  Where is Peter's prophecy?
 
We find Peter's prophecy regarding the coming of the Lord in II Peter 3:10-12.  But the day of the Lord will come as 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...therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
 
The great noise in Peter's prophecy of the end of the world is the trumpet blast from God's end-time reapers, whom He sends to the earth to gather His saints to take them to Heaven - their promised destination.  Then...both the earth and the works that in it will be burned up.
 
The first six trumpets impart dire warnings to the nations of the earth that judgment is coming upon them for their paganism - spiritual degeneration and depravity - resulting, in part, in natural catastrophes, calamities, and cataclysmic events with severe carnage, throughout the Christian era. Even nature is groaning because of the corruption of mankind...Rom. 8:21.  The trumpets proclaim God's judgment upon sin - paganism & immorality. But God desires that mankind would repent of their self-indulgence, corruption and depravity, and seek His forgiveness and protection from His judgment.
 
Before we can define the symbolism of the first six trumpets, we must understand the symbolism of the golden altar before the throne of God.  Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar.  He was given incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne...and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand...Rev. 8:3-4.

There is a lot of symbolism in these two verses.  When we define the symbolism the message will be revealed.  Stay tuned...
