The coherency of Trumpets, Bowls & the two Witnesses

&

What did John really saw at the end.

 

Trumpets announce, Bowls perform and the two witnesses perform at the same time the bowls!Trumpets accord with bowls and both accord with the features of the 2 witnesses and are all same time events and not separated from one another.

 

FIRST TRUMPET

Revelation 8:7: "The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and

Fire mixed with blood, and they were cast on the earth. And the third

part of trees was burned up, and all green grass was burned up."

-Accords with THE FIRST BOWL:

Revelation 16:2 “So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the

earth. A horrible, painful sore appeared on the people who had the

mark of the beast and worshiped the image.

Painful boil like sores appear on the people with the Mark and those who bow down daily toward the image which the False Prophet sets up. This will be only the beginning of God’s punishment for those who submit to the Islamic Empire. After the outburst of first Trumpet diseases will overthrow many people.

 

 

First trumpet announces the first signs to mark the beginning of the Tribulation. Changes in the electromagnetic field of the earth can also cause Red hail. Some scientists believe it could be the precursor to a polar Flip, and then the earth will experience a great increase in thunder storms, tornados, lightning strikes which will cause fires all over the earth. This could be a possible event,

But...

It seems more likely to be a global outburst of volcanoes! Look on a global map where all volcanoes could eventually burst out when we consider that the wrath announced by this trumpet will most likely effect the whole earth, thus all possible effected volcanoes could burst out! Imagine then what the possible consequences would be! Thinks about the fires all over, the smoke and dust and the consequently darkening of the skies! Fire, flying stones mingles with heated magma in this case can also refer to "hail and fire mixed with blood"!

Only the Ring of Fire concludes 452 volcanoes!

                         All red color are volcanoes which possibly could burst out (imagine all at the same time!)

SECOND TRUMPET

Revelation 8:8-9 “Then the second angel blew his trumpet. Something

that looked like a huge mountain on fire was thrown into the sea. A

third of the sea was turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in

the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

-Accords with THE SECOND BOWL:

Revelation 16:3 “The second angel poured his bowl into the sea. It

became like the blood of a dead body, and every living thing in the sea

died.”

-Similarities with the TWO WITNESSES:

Revelation 11:6 “They have authority also over the springs of water, to

turn them into blood; they have authority also to strike the earth with

every kind of plague as often as they wish.

 

Some Biblical scholars have interpreted this as an asteroid. Some think it could describe an active tectonic plate shift, in which mountains and a part of soil around them could disappear into the sea causing a massive tsunami, at least if we use the biblical meaning of mountains which refer to countries, land, empire. But most likely it seems to be a burning rock falling out of the sky such as an asteroid.

But if we keep the pattern of cause and effect same as the ten plagues of Egypt. Each next trumpet would indicate the result of the previous etc., and in this case we will stay on the hugh outburst of volcanoes associated with heavy tectonic effects such as earthquakes and large tsunami.

 

 

THIRD TRUMPET

Revelation 8:10-11 “And the third angel sounded his trumpet: and there

fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon

the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. And the

name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters

became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters because

they were made bitter.

-Accords with THE THIRD BOWL:

Revelation 16:4-6 “The third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and

streams. At once they turned to blood. Then I heard the angel, who has

power over water, say, "You have always been, and you always will be

the holy God. You had the right to judge in this way. They poured out

the blood of your people and your prophets. So you gave them blood to

drink, as they deserve!"

-Similarities with the TWO WITNESSES:

Revelation 11:6 “They have authority to shut up the sky so that there

will be no rain during the time they proclaim God's message.”

 

Some think this is a meteor and if it is big enough, it can cause a chemical change in the atmosphere, forming Nitric Acid rain, which falls to the earth polluting the water supply. The Bible describes this meteor as Wormwood, which means bitter, because after the impact, the water of both rivers and underground springs will become like bitter poison, from the Nitric Acid rain and many who drink it will die. But this can also be caused by the fall out of a hugh outburst of many volcanoes! Whether meteor or volcanoes, Bible says the bitter water will affect one third of the earth and means that in both cases the aftermath will always be the same.

 

 

THE FOURTH TRUMPET

Revelation 8:12 “When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of

the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck

so that one-third of them turned dark. One-third of the day was kept

from shining, and also the night.”

-Accords with THE FOURTH BOWL

Revelation 16:8 “The fourth angel emptied his bowl on the sun, and it

began to scorch people like fire. Everyone was scorched by its great

heat, and all of them cursed the name of God who had power over

these terrible troubles. But no one turned to God and praised him.”

-Similarities with the TWO WITNESSES:

Revelation 11:6 “They have authority to shut up the sky so that there

will be no rain during the time they proclaim God's message.”

 

Bible scholars think that the sun moon and stars will be covered with the dust thrown up into the sky from the meteor impact and/or volcano outburst as well. It’s likely that this is the correct interpretation and the aftermath of the previous event. However darkening the sky for one third of the day, doesn’t seem like much of a judgment after an asteroid or meteor impact. Possibly tornados could play in the field blowing the dark smoke and dust apart after hugh volcanoes outburst, but another thought maybe could also be millions of asteroids blotting out parts of the sun moon and stars. Another thought, is that the axis of the earth could shift, causing one third of the day and night to be lost.

But Revelation 8:8-9 talks about only 'one third of...', thus logically only one third of the sun, moon and stars will then be darkened over that particular part of the world.

Whatever this judgment is, it will affect the sun moon and stars from the earth’s perspective. All possible but although still the aftermath of the previous!

 

The Apocryphal book of 2 Esdras was written by Ezra while in Captivity in Babylon and who knew the Prophet Daniel. Ezra mentions strange signs in the heavens in the last days:

2 Esdras 5:5 “And the course (of the stars) will be changed.

Jesus, also mentions signs in the heavens:”

 

Luke 21:25 “And there shall be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in

the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, as the

sea and the waves roar

 

As we can see there will be indeed strange things happening to the sun moon, stars and planets. They may even change their orbits. And nations will be perplexed, unable to comprehend how that is possible, and tsunamis will devastate the coasts.

God wrote through the prophet Joel and said:

Joel 2:30 “I will give warnings of that day in the sky and on the earth;

there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.

As we can see, God warns the world of His coming Judgment, using strange phenomenon in the heavens.

 

 

THE FIFTH TRUMPET – The 1st Woe of Great Suffering: WAR STARTS!

Revelation 9:1-10 “When the fifth angel blew his trumpet, I saw a star

that had fallen to earth from the sky. The star was given the key to the

shaft of the bottomless pit. It opened the shaft of the bottomless pit,

and smoke came out of the shaft like the smoke from a large furnace.

The sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.

Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given

power like the power of earthly scorpions. They were told not to harm

the grass on the earth, any green plant, or any tree. They could harm

only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

They were not allowed to kill them, but were only allowed to torture

them for five months. Their torture was like the pain of a scorpion when

it stings someone. In those days people will look for death and never

find it. They will long to die, but death will escape them. The locusts

looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were victor's

crowns that looked like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

They had hair like women's hair and teeth like lions' teeth. They had

breastplates like iron, and the noise of their wings was like the roar of

chariots with many horses rushing into battle. They had tails and

stingers like scorpions, and they had the power to hurt people with their

tails for five months.

-Accords with THE FIFTH BOWL:

Revelation 16:10-11 “The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of

the beast. Its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed on

their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven because of

their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their deeds.

-Similarities with the TWO WITNESSES:

Revelation 11:5 “If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes out of their

mouths and destroys their enemies; and in this way whoever tries to

harm them will be killed.”

 

Some biblical scholars believe the great star which falls from heaven and opens the bottomless pit is an angel, which opens something like a volcano causing smoke to billow out. But ‘the star that had fallen to earth’ could also be a (nuclear) bomb. Star in bible can refer to an angel, but in the context of this passage it doesn’t seem to be a heavenly angel. If it’s really an angel than it possibly could refer to Michael who frequently is involved in Heavenly and earthly battles as well, as we read:

Daniel 10: 13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

 

Daniel 10: 20: “Then he (angel) said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come. 21"However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

 

We aren’t blind to determine a war in these passages: probably a bomb went down causing smoke and warfare alert, because soon thereafter locusts with venom such as on a scorpions tale, appear on the battlefield.

Many think these Locusts and scorpions are aliens. Some say these were send by the Annunaki. But let's be wise with some logic comprehensive: does this world really expect aliens? At this far none showed up and now at once they are here? Does our Heavenly Father sends aliens to punish the world, if in the most relative thought these possibly could exist? I do not believe this!

What I believe is that John wrote this in his time with his vision and terms he knew in his time. When you see an

end time vision of warfare in a distant future without any knowledge of the objects you see, how would you then

depict these? Most likely as John did I guess.

Locusts then would refer to gas spreading helicopters having power as scorpion's poison tales and war tanks the lion headed spreading fire and sulfur with tales like snakes on the ground, that simple!

 Take a picture of both and compare in picture gallery: click to enlarge:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The locusts were given power like scorpions? Of course, scorpions have a poison tale and war helicopters spread sarin gas from their tale, which doesn’t harm the environment, but it poisons the people for several months! “They could harm only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” And this is what we read in Rev 9:1-10! Why only the people without God’s seal on their foreheads? Because we it’s about a Mideast war inhabited by Muslims!

We know that what John describes as "locusts" are not literal locusts, because literal locusts destroy green growing things, as in Exodus 10:13-15. But John's "locusts" only hurt men and do not hurt the green growing things, neither does the poison: sarin also doesn’t but blocks men’s nervous system. The "locusts" John saw obey commands and have a "king" in verse 11, but, Proverbs 30:27 says that the literal locusts have no king. In Revelation 9 Verse 3, they are shaped like locusts or grasshoppers. (A good description of the shape of modern attack helicopters) Verse 7, they looked like horses prepared for battle. (Decked out with all kinds of battle equipment) Verse 9, They had "armor plating,” and "wings" that sounded like many chariots pulled by horses running to battle - an excellent description of current rotor blades of an helicopter and their rotating thunder sounds. They had men’s faces? If you look through a cockpit window, you can see the pilot’s face and his yellow golden helmet and wires around his ears and neck which John depicts as ‘hair’!

In verse 6, John sees people incapacitated and wants to die to escape the pain, but physically unable to kill themselves.

This is an incredible 2000 year old depiction of modern warfare using chemical weapons.

John’s description is astoundingly accurate!

 

THE SIXTH TRUMPET - The 2nd Woe of Great Suffering

Revelation 9:13-21 "Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a

voice coming from the four corners of the gold altar standing before

God.

The voice said to the sixth angel, "Release the four angels who are

bound at the great Euphrates River!" The four angels were released;

for this very hour of this very day of this very month and year they had

been kept ready to kill a third of all the human race. I was told the

number of the mounted troops: it was two hundred million. And in my

vision I saw the horses and their riders: they had breastplates red as

fire, blue as sapphire, and yellow as sulfur. The horses' heads were

like lions' heads, and from their mouths came out fire, smoke, and

sulfur. A third of the human race was killed by those three plagues: the

fire, the smoke, and the sulfur coming out of the horses' mouths. For

the power of the horses is in their mouths and also in their tails. Their

tails are like snakes with heads, and they use them to hurt people. The

rest of the human race, all those who had not been killed by these

plagues, did not turn away from what they themselves had made. They

did not stop worshiping demons, nor the idols of gold, silver, bronze,

stone, and wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk. Nor did they repent

of their murders, their magic, their sexual immorality, or their stealing."

-Accords with THE SIXTH BOWL: the end is near!

Revelation 16:12-16 "The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great

Euphrates River. Its water was dried up to prepare the way for the

kings from the east. Then I saw three unclean spirits that looked like

frogs. They were coming out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of

the beast, and the mouth of the false prophet. They are the spirits of

demons that perform miracles. These three spirits go out to all the

kings of the world, to bring them together for the battle on the great

Day of Almighty God. "Listen! I am coming like a thief! Happy is he

who stays awake and guards his clothes, so that he will not walk

around naked and be ashamed in public!" Then the spirits brought the

kings together in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon."

-Similarities with the TWO WITNESSES:

Revelation 11:7-8 “When they finish proclaiming their message, the

beast that comes up out of the abyss will fight against them. He will

defeat them and kill them, and their bodies will lie in the street of the

great city, where their Lord was crucified (Jerusalem).

 

We read:

I saw the horses and their riders": they had breastplates (camouflage colors?) red as

fire, blue as sapphire, and yellow as sulfur. The horses' heads were

like lions' heads, and from their mouths came out fire, smoke, and

sulfur.

For the power of the horses is in their mouths and also in their tails. Their

tails are like snakes with heads, and they use them to hurt people.”

 

The Euphrates River has always been a known place of many battle.

But what kind of horses did John saw in this vision when we are talking about war?

Exactly, war tanks on the ground! Fire smoke and sulfur, which comes out of their mouths, which are actually cannons. And fire, smoke, and sulfur (yellow), does in fact shoot out the front of the canon, every time they fire a mortar. And their tails, which John depicts as snakes with heads, are in fact guns, which like snake bites and puncture people with holes. The apostle John, even saw the exact colors of the tank optics. Of red, blue and yellow. Which he called breastplates (Revelation 9:17). This is astoundingly accurate, no one but God could have shown him this kind of detail.

(Link: The Islamic antichrist by Joel Richardson)

 

 

Revelation 11:9-10 “People from all nations, tribes, languages, and

races will look at their bodies for three and a half days and will not

allow them to be buried. The people of the earth will be happy because

of the death of these two. They will celebrate and send presents to

each other, because those two prophets brought much suffering upon

the whole human race.

 

These two witnesses (saints who died during trib?!) of God will be killed by the Beast – The Madhi

and his Islamic Army, when it conquers Jerusalem. All the Muslims in

the world will rejoice at the death of these witnesses, and  because

of the conquering of Jerusalem.

 

Revelation 11:11-12 “After three and a half days a life-giving breath

came from God and entered them, and they stood up; and all who saw

them were terrified. Then the two prophets heard a loud voice say to

them from heaven, "Come up here!" As their enemies watched, they

went up into heaven in a cloud.

This could be the timeframe of rapture of all dead saints who will resurrect previous to those who still are alive: 'first the dead and then we who still are alive',  because what follows is the 7th and last Trumpet!

1 Tess 4:16; “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. 17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

Revelation 11:13 “At that very moment there was a violent earthquake;

a tenth of the city (of Jerusalem) was destroyed, and seven thousand

people were killed. The rest of the people were terrified and praised the

greatness of the God of heaven.”

 

 

THE SEVENTH TRUMPET – The 3rd Woe of Great Suffering: the last day of great wrath and the end:

Revelation 11:15-19: “Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and

there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The power to rule over the

world belongs now to our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever

and ever! Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones in front

of God threw themselves face downward and worshiped God,

saying: "Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was! We thank

you that you have taken your great power and have begun to rule!

The heathen were filled with rage, because the time for your anger has

come, the time for the dead to be judged. The time has come to reward

your servants, the prophets, and all your people, all who have

reverence for you, great and small alike. The time has come to destroy

those who destroy the earth!" God's temple in heaven was opened,

and the Covenant Box was seen there. Then there were flashes of

lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy

hail.

 

-Accords with THE SEVENTH BOWL: it’s done!

Revelation 16:17-19 “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the

air. And a great voice came out of the temple of Heaven, from the

throne, saying, It is done! And voices and thunders and lightnings

occurred. And there was a great earthquake, such as has not been

since men were on the earth, so mighty and so great an earthquake.

And the great city came to be into three parts, and the cities of the

nations fell.

 

The seventh bowl and the great earthquake described above, coincide with the second coming of Jesus Christ and the salvation of the chosen who still are alive! 

 

Jesus says in Matthew:

Matthew 24:1 “ after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be

darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall

from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And

then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in the heavens.

 

Lets review some of the events which Jesus said would occur on the day he returns, “the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven”

What Jesus is describing here is a “global event.” The sun and the moon withdrawing their light, - this could be explained by dust or volcanic eruptions, but the clue to what really happens on the day when Jesus returns, is described when he says the stars will fall from

the sky.

Now you probably ask; “How on earth could the stars fall from the sky?”

The only way this could happen, is by what scientists have called a Polar shift or Polar Reversal. This is the event which Jesus is describing. A day when the earth will reel back and forth and finally turn upside down. The Bible states emphatically, that the earth will turn upside down when Jesus returns and the stars will appear to fall from the sky which obviously causes global massive earthquakes and idem floods.

 

The Polar reversal is described in Isaiah 24:21 which says:

Behold, Jehovah makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and

turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof.

Isaiah 24:19: “The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall

sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be

heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.”

 

Mankind has no idea that these small earthquakes are actually a precursor to a MASSIVE GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE. Finally when the sin of mankind reaches its peak, this violent GLOBAL

EARTHQUAKE will occur, beyond anything the Richter scale could measure. It will grip the earth shaking it to its very foundations!

 

AND THIS IS THE LAST DAY!

Rapture of the chosen and left behind saints after all these tribulations and wrath will occur previous to the last great wrath and massive earthquake all over the world.

 

Conclusion:

-Trumpets announce,

-Bowls perform the trumpets’ announcements,

-and accords with the divine features of the two Witnesses,

-and if the witnesses as I assume, represent the saints, then God depicted the bowls as these were performed by the two witnesses, but actually it’s God who pours out His wrath upon the wicked but used the two witnesses as the symbolic representatives of the chosen. At least this is my understanding.

Shalom and keep always the good works,
