WHAT TIME IS IT – 4

 

The Great Tribulation

Matthew 24:1-3 NIV
Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Matthew 24:14 NIV
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Mark 13:19-20 ESV
For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

 

 

Seal Judgements: 1st Seal

Revelation 6:1-2 NIV
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

Seal Judgements: 2nd Seal

Revelation 6:3-4 NIV
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

Seal Judgements: 3rd Seal

Revelation 6:5-6 NIV
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

Seal Judgements: 4th Seal

Revelation 6:7-8 NIV
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Seal Judgements: 5th Seal

Revelation 6:9 NIV
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

Seal Judgements: 6th Seal

Seal Judgements: 7th Seal

Revelation 8:1 NIV When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

 

Revelation 8:2-3a,5 NIV
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

“The recent Tsunami offered some practical lessons in disaster planning and the need for flood insurance. However, according to a Lloyd’s of London consultant, this Tsunami could be nothing compared to what could happen to Britain and the US East Coast at any time. Another global disaster is already in progress. Events are inexorably priming a Tsunami that could kill millions of people and devastate the south coast of Britain and the eastern seaboard of the United States.”

“It’s happening now and nothing can stop it,” said the London, academic professor, Bill Maguire.

“The trigger is a volcano on La Palma, in the Canary Islands. Normally that volcano erupts at intervals of 20 to 200 years, and has not done so since 1971. The next eruption may dislodge an unstable, 12 mile long, slab of rock the size of the Isle of Man which will crash to the sea bed causing a dome of water a mile high.”

“The rock is already slipping down by infinitesimal degrees. When it goes, it will likely collapse in 90 seconds. The resulting tsunami traveling at 500 mph. would reach Britain in 6 hours with waves rearing up to 33 feet. It’s the same sort of size that caused the deaths in the Indian Ocean. Maguire notes, the La Palma tsunami, would reach the Americas 9 to 12 hours after the dislodgment laying waste to the eastern seaboard of the United States with waves of 165 feet.”

“Boston, New York and Miami would be destroyed…and the Caribbean islands, overwhelmed.”

 

Trumpet Judgements: 1st Trumpet

Revelation 8:7 NIV
The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

“It is possible that worldwide volcanic explosions would be a normal consequence of a worldwide violent earthquake. The masses of water vapor blown skyward might well condense in the intense updraft into hailstones and showers of burning lava might well be cast upon the earth. The blood of entrapped men and animals might be mingled with them or possibly showers of liquid water drops might be so contaminated with dust and gases as to appear blood red.”
~Henry Morris, The Revelation Record

Trumpet Judgements: 2nd Trumpet

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.”

Revelation 8:13 NIV
As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

Trumpet Judgements: 5th Trumpet

Revelation 9:1-3 NIV
The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.

Revelation 9:5-6 NIV
They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
