Many dear, professing “Christians” today, who are dear and sincere in their Christian traditions and personal beliefs, believe in a DIFFERENT Christ (i.e., they have “their own” Jesus). Therefore they - either knowingly or unknowingly - have rejected the CHRIST of the Holy Scriptures. I personally know how this works for I once had “my own” Jesus.
For years I was a practicing Roman Catholic. From the womb, I was taught and raised in the traditions of the Catholic faith (ideology), and in true sincerity, I went to church every week, prayed every night, and practiced the Golden rule, but I lived contrary to the moral teachings given by God in His Word. It wasn’t until just before my twenty-first birthday that someone shared with me from God’s Word the True Gospel (good news) and the True Christ of the Holy Scriptures. At that time it was very hard for me to humble myself and go against all that I thought, was taught and believed for years about Jesus. At first, I didn’t want to accept the truth and have to change my way of seeing and doing things. Consequently, I ran from the Lord for three years. I had always known that Almighty God’s Word was true and the only source of ultimate truth (John 17:17). I knew in my heart also that I had to humble myself and let Almighty 9God and His Word be my authority and guide.
I knew in my heart also that I had to humble myself and let Almighty God and His Word be my authority and guide.
At the end of these three years of wrestling with the reality (truth) and The Holy Spirit’s convicting hand (John 16:8-14), I began to read and study God’s Word for myself. As I did so, I started to see for the first time what God’s Word said about the Person of Jesus Christ and about God’s true plan of salvation. I came to the realization that what I had always believed and trusted in my whole life was absolutely wrong and bankrupt! It was a lie and a godless self-delusion that would not be able to stand before Almighty God in the Day of Judgment. My “religious Christian” sincerity would be my ruin, and my misguided good intentions would be my doom (Matt 7:21-23). In God’s Holy Word I saw for the first time the TRUE Christ of the Scriptures and God’s TRUE plan of salvation (Rom. 10:17).
I was at a crossroads. Was I going to trust in the Jesus Christ of the Holy Scriptures, or was I going to keep trusting in my own False Christ and system of “good works,” a vanity that I trusted in all those years which contradicted Christ’s atoning work on the cross (Matt 7:21-23, Rom. 3:20-22; Gal. 2:16, 21)?
My Friend, God in His grace and mercy showed me that He loved me and had a wonderful plan and future for my life. He had kept me from so many disastrous consequences of a reckless youth and immoral life. My decision at this point in my life was an easy one. I needed to put my trust in Jesus who died, was buried and rose again for me according to the scriptures (1 Cor. 15:1-4). This was the very One that loved me and gave his life for me (Gal. 2:20). I bowed my head and heart and asked the Lord Jesus Christ of the Holy Scriptures to come into my heart and save me and deliver me from my sin and trespasses against His righteous Person. When I did that, He did what He promised He would do: Come in! (Rev. 3:20)
My friend, it has been 23 years and I have never looked back. A dear Christian preacher, who I would watch each Sunday night on TV after a weekend of partying and decadence said, “That when you finally put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ you will never be the same! My friend, how true that is! Almighty God used that man and that message to bring me to a saving knowledge of Himself through Jesus Christ.
.
You see, the very One I thought I knew all of my life, I found I didn’t know Him at all.
You see, the very One I thought I knew all of my life, I found I didn’t know Him at all. God in his great love reached out to me and called me to Himself. In His tender mercy and patience, He kept knocking on my heart’s door. In His grace and kindness, He revealed Himself in a very personal and real way to me, and I finally let Him into my heart to deliver me and give me eternal life - just as He said He would do (Rev. 3:20). I have truly never been the same since then, and God has truly blessed me and has been teaching me so much about myself, time, the world we live in, eternity future, and His wondrous love and grace towards me.
May I ask you this personal question? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, as the Holy Scriptures teach? True Christianity is not a religious/ cultural philosophy or a practice of “Christian” values and traditions. It is a personal, living relationship with the Creator of heaven and earth in spirit and truth, as revealed in God’s Word (John 4:24). The very One who created all, died on the Cross to pay the price for your sins and mine (John 1:1-14; Philip. 2:4-13). My friend, I can’t think of anything more wonderful than that to tell anyone! May it be your real desire to know the One Who so loved you and sent his Son to die for you, so that you may be with Him forever in joy and peace (John 3:16-17; Gal. 1:4). Won't you place your trust in Him today? You will never be the same!
My dear friends, no doubt that such a thought on this "established" topic is bound for harsh criticism by those who hold strongly to their Daniel 9:27 position... but... here we go.... My dear friends, the key to understanding Daniel 9:27 is found in the 1260 day ministry of the Two Witnesses, which takes place in the first half of the seven-year tribulation (Rev. 11:1-13). Leave these Two out or diminish them at all and the whole prophetic text of Daniel 9:27 falls apart. Many fine biblical scholars throughout the years have suggested in this passage that it will be the anti-Messiah - who will make a covenant with the many (an abundance) - which also includes the nation of Israel and will bring shalom and security to the nation of Israel by adding his mighty strength (gabar) to it (Ezek.38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26, Dan. 9:27).

The Jews WILL indeed rebuild the temple at this time, but not in light of any treaty or covenant made with the anti-Messiah. It will be the Two Witnesses who will begin the re-institution of the daily scarifies and oblations...
Dear friends, I would like for you to hear me out on before you cast me aside as an apostate. Read this post in its entirety and looked at the Scripture references and see for yourself how absolutely crucial it is to NOT explain away or neglect the place of position that the Two Witnesses have in the first half of the seven-year tribulation (Rev. 11).
In the Daniel 9:27 "covenant" it is suggested by many that the anti - Messiah will broker a "sound peace deal" on Israel's behalf and will be able to totally stop all Islamic and world aggressions against her. Many have taken great liberties on this Bible verse over the years, even to the point of leaving out or theorizing around the fact that the world at this time will be experiencing HORRIFIC EXPONENTIAL desolation via the Seal and Trumpet Judgments(Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:4-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11, Rev. 6-9). These preach that the anti-Christ during this first half (3 1/2 years) of the tribulation will be fully able to override such EXPONENTIAL Divine judgments and still have power to protect Israel from all harm; even to the point that Israel's cities dwell without walls and in total safety (Ezek. 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26, Dan. 9:27). My friends, such thoughts and theories now in the light of our EXPONENTIAL technological day with the world's GREAT weapons of mass destruction cannot hold any water. This Daniel 9:27 theory has been the standard template of many fine biblical scholars for a very long time.I totally believe the key to seeing Daniel 9:27 righty is found in rightly understanding the Two Witnesses earthly ministry which takes place in the first 1260 days of the seven-year tribulation (Rev. 11:1-13). What is absolutely amazing to me is how little is stated about these Two MIGHTY Witnesses of Almighty God and their TOTAL AUTHORITY and POWER over ALL nations during the first half of the seven-year tribulation (Rev. 11:3-13).
These Two Witnesses are usually made light of and are mentioned secondary in light of the theory that the ant- Messiah will be the dominant player in the first half of the seven year tribulation period. This is a great flaw and a huge oversight with great consequences to sound prophetic truths that pertain to that Day.
These Two Witnesses are usually made light of and are mentioned secondary in light of the theory that the ant- Messiah will be the dominate player in the first half of the seven year tribulation period. This is a great flaw and a huge oversight with great consequences to sound prophetic truths that pertain to that Day (Rev. 6-11). It is my own personal opinion that when these Two are set aside and neglected as they often are, the whole prophetic perspective of Daniel 9:27 falls flat on its face. The anti-Christ WILL indeed make a covenant with many (an abundance) which will start the 70th week of Daniel, but I truly believe that it will be made against Israel and not for her. As we are at the end of the age we can see clearer than ever what others could not ever see. All of today's evidence shows that there is a united global effort and movement (including the USA) to use the EXPONENTIAL advances of human technology to subtly and stealthily go after Israel and annihilate her (Zech. 3:1-2, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12). Even now Israel's back is against the wall on the world stage and without Almighty God's Divine interceding at "that moment in time" - after the Rapture of the body of Christ/Messiah - when the Daniel 9:27 covenant is strengthened by "the prince to come", Israel would indeed perish. It is my personal belief - based on sound Scripture evidence - that the Two Witnesses of Revelation will be sent to Israel as this covenant is confirmed and will then protect Israel for the first 1260 days of the seven-year tribulation period (until the midst of the week) from all global satanic aggression and will preach repentance unto her (Ezek. 38: 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26 Rev. 11:3-13).
What is absolutely amazing to me is how little is stated about these Two MIGHTY Witnesses of Almighty God and their TOTAL AUTHORITY and POWER over ALL nations during the first half of the seven-year tribulation.
My dear friends, a few more key points and challenges I would like to make to Bible scholars is for them to see how many times the person of the "Anti-Christ" is found in the first half of the seven year tribulation period in comparison to the second half. The passages referring to the anti- Christ in the second half of the seven-year tribulation are much more abundant and display him in a place of total global dominance and authority, while in the first half he is lightly esteemed. The Anti Christ/Messiah does NOT come to ABSOLUTE TOTAL power UNTIL AFTER the 1260 day ministry of the Two Witnesses is completed, which will start the second half of the seven year tribulation period - (Rev. 11:3-7,13:1-5); thus he will be absolutely no match for Almighty God's Two Witnesses' ministry nor the dominant man of power as many make him to be during the first half of the seven year tribulation period. There are only a few places in which we find the Anti Christ in the first half of the seven year tribulation period and in all cases it is a place of secondary standing (Dan.9:26-27, Rev. 17:8, 10, 11, 2 Thess. 2:3, 6-8).
The Anti-Messiah does NOT come to ABSOLUTE TOTAL power UNTIL AFTER the 1260 day ministry of the Two Witnesses is completed which will start the second half of the seven year tribulation period.
The Two Witnesses of Almighty God - will be at this time GREAT BURNING lights of Divine REALITY and TRUTH unto Israel and the entire world (Rev. 11:3-6). In a post unregenerate church age world (Rev. 6-16) because of the Rapture of the Body of Christ - John 14:3, 1 Cor, 15:51-57, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 2 Thess. 2:5-8, 1 John 3:1-4, Rev. 4:1), these Two will ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE the first half of the seven year tribulation period with ALL AUTHORITY, POWER, SIGNS and WONDERS (Rev. 11:3-6). In Revelation 11:3-6 we see the ABSOLUTE TREMENDOUS POWER that these Two Individuals can wield upon the godless nations of the world; including against Gog (the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal), the land of Magog and his confederacy (Ezek. 38-39). Whosoever opposes their Divine ministry for Israel and are for her total destruction will be immediately dealt with (Rev. 11:3-6). During their Divine ministry, they will absolutely TORMENT the world for 1260 days and will be totally UNDEFEATABLE at this time (Rev. 11:3-10)! No wonder that after their 1260 days are fulfilled and then murdered at the hand of the beast that the satanically driven world will greatly rejoice with exceeding joy and give gifts to each other as they now proclaim in its right season (Rev. 11:7-13), "Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him (Rev. 11:7-10, 13:4)?" It will be this common bond of hatred towards Almighty God's Two Witnesses that will be the common tie that binds all nations against the established REALITY of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS Person, His call to global repentance and the 666 alliance of desolation under the resuscitated Anti-Christ (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15, Rev. 11:3-17, Rev. 13; Rev. 17:7-17).
These Two will ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE the first half of the seven year tribulation period with ALL AUTHORITY, POWER, SIGNS and WONDERS. In Revelation 11:3-6 we see the ABSOLUTE TREMENDOUS POWER that these two individuals can wield upon the godless nations of the world including against Gog (the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal) and his confederacy.
One more point I would like to write about and it is about is the nation of Israel during this time. The nation of Israel WILL dwell in total safety and unwalled villages during the 1260 day ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses unto the point that all manner of national security, technological and armed forces will not be needed (Ezek. 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26, Matt. 24:15-20, Mark 13:14-18, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 11:3-6). Israel during this first half of the seven-year tribulation will dwell in complete safety and in unwalled villages (Ezek. 38:8,11, 12, 14, 39:26) because of the Divine protection of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:2-6). With the Two Witnesses of Revelation's POWERFUL Divine ministry, why would Israel ever need the Pre-Revelation 13 anti- Messiah of the Daniel 9:27 theory to bring them security, peace and safety? No human or even the devil himself can bring about that type of protection from the godless driven nations of the world as history has overwhelmingly proven. The Almighty ABSOLUTELY REIGNS in the affairs of fallen man and the devil must always submit to Almighty God's ETERNAL plan and purpose for all nations. At this time Almighty God's ETERNAL plan and good purpose will be to protect unbelieving Israel and seek her to repent to the saving knowledge of the Lamb of God via His Two Witnesses (Ex. 19:5, Job 1:6-12, Psalm 75:6-7, 103:19, Dan. 2:37, 4:17, 25, 32, 5:21, Zech. 3:2, Matt. 28:18-20, Rom. 13:1-5, 1 Peter 5:11, Rev. 4, Rev. 5, Rev. 6:1, 17:17). It will be during this time that Israeli hating nations, their possessions of GREAT weapons of mass destruction, their super abounding technological advances and Satan's 24/7/365 media machine cannot override nor tear down Almighty God's Divine hedge of protection for Israel while the Two Witnesses' ministry is reigning supreme (Rev. 11:3-6).
It will be under the Divine protective hedge of Almighty God's Two Witnesses that Israel will thrive while the gentile nations and world are absolutely ravished by the Seal and Trumpet Judgments!
It will be under the Divine protective hedge of Almighty God's Two Witnesses that Israel will thrive (Ezek. 38:10-13) while the gentile nations and world are absolutely ravished by the Seal and Trumpet Judgments(Matt 24:4-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11, Rev. 6-9). All these EXPONENTIAL evils upon the Gentile nations in the first half of the seven year tribulation period are called the birth pangs by Jesus and he mentions to Israelis who dwell in TOTAL security at this time that they will "hear" of these horrific events but the end is not yet (Matt. 24:6, Mark 13:7, Luke 21:7)! However, what is most horrifically tragic at this time will be Israel's heart while under Almighty God's Divine protective hedge. Tragically the overwhelming majority of Jews WILL REJECT the Two Witnesses' (Moses and Elijah) Divine call to repentance unto Yeshua, the Lamb of God, Savior and Messiah, the King of Israel (Deut. 4:30, 31:29, Ezek. 39:26, Rev. 11:8, 12:17).
The heart of Jerusalem at the end of the Two Witnesses' 1260 day ministry will be totally exposed and identified as rebellious, hard-hearted, unrepentant and described as spiritual Sodom and Egypt.
It will be after the death, resuscitation and ascension of the Two Witnesses of Almighty God that Almighty God's Divine hedge protecting Israel will be removed and GREAT HORRIFIC persecution (Demonic and human) will now take place against her.
The resuscitation and ascension of Almighty God's Two Witnesses before a globally ravished - gleeful, demonically driven, godless world and Israel (Rev. 11:7-12) will validate without a shadow of doubt ALL of their Divine words of TRUTH from their 1260 day ministry and ETERNALLY confirm that indeed, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall REIGN for EVER and EVER - Rev. 11:15"! All of the Two Witnesses Words have now been absolutely validated and WILL come to pass and no godless world, the beast or Satan himself can and will EVER stop Messiah's coming reign and their ETERNAL demise (2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 14:9-11, Rev. 19:11-21)!
The resuscitation and ascension of Almighty God's Two Witnesses before a ravished - gleeful, demonically driven, godless world and Israel will validate without a shadow of doubt ALL of their Divine words of TRUTH of their 1260 day ministry and ETERNALLY confirm that indeed, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall REIGN for EVER and EVER!"
Israel, because of their FULL rejection of the POWERFUL ministry of Israel's Moses and Elijah (Almighty God's Two Witnesses) will be now given over to GREAT TRIBULATION and to their reprobate mind.
During this post-Two Witness world, the forty two month Satanic global reign of terror against Israel and the redeemed of the nations will be HORRIFIC (Jer. 30:4-7, Zech. 14:1-2, Matt. 24:9-22, Rev. 11:2, 12:13-17)! These forty-two months will seem like decades as Israelis seek to survive this HORRIFIC global purge. For those who were able to flee to the wilderness, they will be SUPER NATURALLY protected and nourished for this time (Rev. 12:14). It will be during this time of Divine protection (Rev. 12:13-17) that those who are Israel's remnant at this place of protection will be nourished in the TRUTHS they have heard from the Two Witnesses of Almighty God and consider their words and ministry. However it will not be until those who are left of the nation Israel see the Second Coming of the Messiah from Heaven's glory that they will NOW truly comprehend ALL the words of Almighty God's Two Witnesses and then with GREAT contrition, repentance and weeping receive Him as their Lamb, Savior and King (Isa. 45:17, 59:20, Jer. 30:4-8, 31:33, Dan. 2:43-44, 7:13-1, Joel 2:32, Zech. 12:10-14, 13:8-9, Mal. 4:4-6, Matt. 17:11, 23:39, 26:63-64, Mark 9:12, 14:62, Rom. 11:26, Rev. 1:7, 19:11-21).
It will be these Two Witnesses who arrive after the Rapture of the Body of Christ who will be used greatly by the ETERNAL Holy Spirit of Almighty God to tell an EXPONENTIAL technological, lawless world that the Day of the Lord is now here and the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
When the Rapture of the Church finally takes place - in which Almighty God the Son calls out His body (saints and ambassadors) - it (The Rapture) will be a wondrous sign unto the apostate western world more so than a sign unto the whole world. For all had better be prepared, for Almighty God's "Day of Wrath" is now at hand (2 Thess. 2:3-12)!
All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs) Matt. 24:8.
The official commencement of this horrific seven year period will be the breaking of the 1st seal (i.e., the"Confirming of the Covenant" - Dan. 9:27) by Almighty God’s Lamb (i.e., The Lord Jesus Christ) in Heaven (Rev. 6:1). It is at this precise moment that the man of lawlessness (i.e., the anti-Christ) will be revealed unto the entire world (Dan. 9:27, 2 Thess. 2: 3-12). This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven-year tribulation period will begin when this man (i.e., the Prince which is to come) adds his human position of great power and authority to a covenant against Israel with an abundance of peoples and nations (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Dan. 9: 27). Israel at this time of the confirming of this covenant will receive the supernatural protection of Almighty God’s Two Witnesses(Moses and Elijah) who will also begin their ministry at this time for 1260 days and possess Almighty God's Divine authority. These Two Witnesses of Almighty God will be extremely more powerful than the anti - Christ and his global confederacy against Israel and will be used throughout the first half of this tribulation period by Almighty God to make His RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Person known to a full-blown godless world and unbelieving Israel (Rev. 11:3-6). Israel at the Divine hands of these Two Witnesses will then have rest and dwell in their land in safety from their global enemies and global tribulation for a season because of the Two Witnesses ministry unto them (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Rev. 11:3-7). This position of safety at the hand of Almighty God via His Two Witnesses does not mean that Israel's heart will be right with Almighty God, for it will not be (Ezek, 39:26, Rev. 11:8). Though they dwell in safety and unwalled villages they will be at war with these Two Witnesses and their Divine assignmentand message that; Jesus is the Messiah and to repent for the Kingdom of Heaven now is at hand (Deut. 4:30, Jer. 30:4-7, Ezek. 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 12:1, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 11:2, 8)!.
These Two Witnesses of Almighty God will be extremely more powerful and than the anti - Christ and his global confederacy against Israel and will be used throughout the first half of this tribulation period by Almighty God to make His RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Person known to a full-blown godless world and unbelieving Israel.
These Two Lamp Stands of Almighty God (Moses and Elijah) will preach salvation in Jesus Messiah, reinstitute the temple, its sacrifices and its priesthood. They will preach repentance and testify to ALL that the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15, 2 Thess. 2:4, Rev. 11:3-6). These two will then prepare the remnant of believing Jews and a chosen 144,000 Jewish men - from the 12 tribes of Israel - (Matt. 24:14, Rev. 7:4-8, 11:13) for their global ministry unto ALL of the nations of the earth and their Messiah’s glorious and imminent return and Kingdom (Matt. 24:14, Mark 13:10, Rev. 7). It will be at this time - the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period - that the WORLD will seek every and any opportunity to root out and destroy these two Divinely appointed vessels of Almighty God... all to no avail (Mal. 4:4-6, Rev. 7,14:1-4,11:3-8). While Israel dwells in safety under the Divine ministry of Moses and Elijah, the world will be experiencing the EXPONENTIAL Seal and Trumpet Judgments of Almighty God (Rev. 6-9).
While Israel dwells in safety under the Divine ministry of Moses and Elijah, the world will be experiencing the EXPONENTIAL Seal and Trumpet Judgments of Almighty God.
It will be also at this time - at the beginning of this seven-year period, while Israel dwells in their land in absolute safety (Ezek. 38:8,11,12,14) - that the WHOLE GENTILE WORLD will begin to be trodden down by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Rev. 6:1-8). It will be after their catastrophic ride throughout the entire globe that the world will lose ¼ of its total population (1.75 billion) to war, famine and pestilence. This ride will cause global markets to be wiped out and the global economy to implode and will affect every individual throughout the world. Billions will feel the effects of death and war and mankind will become extremely hard-hearted and cold (Matt. 24:12). Confusion will EXPONENTIALLY abound as man's technological advances and communication is wiped out and as technological dependency detox sets in. Deception will now EXPONENTIALLY abound and be received as men seek to preserve their temporal lives at all costs and as the pressures to survive increase the works of the flesh will be revealed globally as never seen before (Matt. 15:16-20, Matt. 24:1-8, Gal. 5:19-21, 2 Tim. 3:1-5), for lawlessness, violence, rage, immorality etc.. will EXPONENTIALLY abound!
It will be after their catastrophic ride throughout the entire world that the world will lose ¼ of its total population (1.75 billion) to war, famine, and pestilence and will cause global markets to be wiped out and implode.
It will be following the Four Horsemen’s HORRIFIC ride of doom and the opening of the fifth seal, that the sixth seal is now opened in which a GREAT GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE and signs in the heavens will gain the world’s full attention! As the heavens depart as a scroll and EVERY mountain and island are moved out of their places it will send absolute terror into the hearts of every human being alive (Jew and Gentile) on planet earth (Rev. 6:12-17).For it is now - at this time - that the inhabitants of the world will FULLY comprehend that indeed they are now in the “Day of the Lord” and the“Day of Almighty God's Wrath" which has been spoken of since the days of Enoch! (Jude 1:14, Rev. 6:15-17).
The Trumpet Judgments
.
Following the Seal Judgments of the Lamb of God follow Almighty God's "Trumpet Judgments" upon the earth’s inhabitants, its vegetation, its water (fresh and salt) and the celestial lights in the first and second heavens (Rev. 8:1-13).
As we shall see, the first four of the seven Trumpet Judgments shall strike the earth and its inhabitants with EXPONENTIAL unparalleled global cataclysmic destruction. Let us take a look!
The First Four Trumpet Judgments
The First Trumpet Judgment destroys 1/3 of all trees and grass upon the face of the earth with fire! (Rev.8:7). That comes to roughly 133 billion trees. 7% of all landmass is covered with grass. This area covers 9.93 million sq/km or 3.8 million sq/miles. This total area - which is given over to fire - is roughly a little bit bigger than the total landmass of the United States which would include Alaska. Can you even imagine the smoke which is generated from this global inferno?
The Second Trumpet Judgment will cause 1/3rd of all the seas of planet earth to turn to blood (Rev. 8:8-9). The fall out of this catastrophic global devastation will also cause 1/3 of all the sea creatures to perish and 1/3 of all the world's ships and their crews to perish also! Some facts:
1. 70.8 % of the earth’s surface is covered by water. 68% of that 70.8% is saltwater. 1/3 of the seas or 22.6% of the world’s surface area or 122 million sq/km or 47.1 sq/miles will be decimated and turned into blood! That is roughly the size of the Pacific Ocean! (How horrific!!) Ocean info link
.
2. The number of sea creatures destroyed by this trumpet judgment will be too innumerable to number. From the smallest creatures to the giant whales it must be in the trillions.
3. The total number of merchant ships that populate the world is about 55,000. This figure includes bulk carriers, dry cargo vessels, MPP's, container vessels, tankers, LPG's, LNG's, and most cruise ships; this number, however, does not include private vessels. The world's total number of ships of war is estimated at 4500. 1/3 of this total number (59,500) comes to roughly 19,833 ships that will be destroyed in this great Second Trumpet judgment not counting countless thousands of sailors lives that will also perish. Can you even envision such wondrous cataclysmic devastation that will ravish a sea mass the almost the size of the Pacific Ocean?
.
The Third Trumpet Judgment will cause 1/3rd of all freshwater to be poisoned with wormwood and become bitter. The effects of this judgment will cripple society and multitudes will perish because of their ingestion of these bitter waters (Rev. 8:11). In this period - due to the horrific consequences of the Seal and Trumpet Judgments - drinking water will be very scarce to come by.
3% of the entire world’s water is freshwater. 1/3 of this water supply (33% of the 3%) will be poisoned killing multitudes of the world’s inhabitants during this period.
.
The Fourth Trumpet Judgment will cause the celestial lights (sun, moon, and stars) to dim their light 1/3rd of their normal strength (Rev. 8:12)!
Up to this point, try to comprehend - if at all possible - the unimaginable and exponential ravishing effects upon the face of the earth by these Seven Seal Judgments and the first four Trumpet Judgments. Remember, that these judgments were ordered upon the inhabitants of the earth and their planet because of their exponential godless rebellion and violence against the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God(Gen. 1:31, Isa. 24:5-6, Rom. 1:18-32). These horrific global catastrophes - including the unimaginable devastation incurred by the Four Horsemen and the wrath of man - in which 1/4th of the world’s population was slain - will bring to the forefront the unbridled passions and uncontrollable violence of humanity's godless and evil fallen heart (Ps. 7:9, Jer. 17:9-10, Matt. 15:17-20, Jude 1:10). Nothing manifests the human heart as tribulation does and reveals to all, our utter godless depravity without the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God (Jer. 17:10, Matt 15:18-19, Gal. 5:19-21, Rev. 9:20-21).
These cataclysmic events will reveal and bring to the forefront of humanity's utter hatred and disdain for their Creator and His ETERNAL sovereignty (Rev. 9:20-21). As these events intensify, the world will outwardly manifest their ever hardening position towards Almighty God by their godless deeds and war against His redeemed. These will become absolutely callous, cold, hateful, unfeeling, and violent towards one another (Matt. 24:12, 2 Tim. 3:1-7). Self-preservation and individual survival during this time will make men violate and transgress Almighty God's absolutes and moral laws to places which they though never imaginable. Instead of repenting and crying out for Almighty God’s mercy and pardon, these will continually harden their hearts as Pharaoh of old and instead of looking into God's perfect mirror of righteousness (Psalm 19:7, Rom. 10:2-4), they will seek a scapegoat and a villain for their entire calamity (Matt. 24:8-13). Since Israel – at this time - is unaffected by these horrific Seal and Trumpet judgments that take place during the first half of this tribulation period, the world’s inhabitants will seek to lash out after Almighty God’s people (i.e., Israel). Israel has always been the world's most favorite scapegoat and during this time, this hatred will reach an all-new exponential level. The WORLD - at this time - will greatly unite as one man and seek to destroy Almighty God’s two witnesses (Rev. 11: 4-6) and the apple of His eye (i.e., the nation Israel) (Deut. 32:10, Psalm 17:8), but again, all to none avail (Ezek. 38:8, 11-12, Rev. 11:3-7).
As these events intensify, the world will outwardly manifest their ever hardening position towards Almighty God by their godless deeds and war against His redeemed.
Just when the inhabitants of the earth thought that it could never get any more horrifically worse, they are about to be visited by a host of ferocious conquers and tyrannical oppressors that know absolutely no mercy and transcend the limited boundaries of time and space. It will be at this time that Almighty God will not just be passing judgment upon the sons of Adam for their EXPONENTIAL transgressions, but also on the fallen hosts of Heaven’s realm - the demonic legions of fallen angels. These demonic hosts have greatly feared and dreaded this present hour which is now at handfor in this time they indeed know their time is exceedingly short(Matt. 8:29, Mark 5:7, Rev. 18:2).
The Three Horrific Demonic Woes unto the Earth! .
The word “Woe!”, when used by Almighty God in this alarming and dreadful way should send ice-cold shivers of fright up the spine of any individual, sane or insane. So dreadful, so unimaginable, so fearfully horrifying are these last series of Trumpet Judgments that an angel is sent by Almighty God to sternly warn the remaining godless and rebellious inhabitants of planet earth of what is yet to be!
Almighty God's Divine angelic air raid siren pierces through the world's darkness warning all of the pending doom which is now at hand.
.
“And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitors of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!” (Rev 8:13)
The Demonic First Woe!
.
This First Woe has to do with the demonic legions which are held prisoner in the bottomless pit called “the Abyss”. These demonic hosts were placed there by Almighty God for their gross transgressions and heavenly rebellion against Almighty God and His ETERNAL sovereignty. They were most likely placed there after the Noaic flood for their excessive part in leading men to global rebellion against their Creator and his natural laws (Gen. 6, Isa. 14:12-17, Ezek. 28:12-19, Jude 1:6).
These godless beings in their psychotic rage and violence will seek to – once again - tyrannically dominate and plague man, preparing all of humanity for the Third Woe which is to come.
These insane supernatural beings - which transcend the realms of time and space - are EXPONENTIALLY more powerful and intelligent than man. These godless beings in their psychotic rage and violence will seek to – once again - tyrannically dominate and plague man, preparing all of humanity for the Third Woe which is to come (Rev. 12:12). These demonic legions fully comprehend the hour in which they now occupy and know that their time is dreadfully short. These released demonic hordes from the abyss prison hold – as insane and delusional as they are – know quite well of the impending judgment and doom that awaits them in the Lake of Fire for FOREVER and EVER (Matt.25:41, Rev. 20:10)! It is their sole hateful and vindictive intention to discredit Almighty God's Word and promises to Israel and the world and to torment and take as many humans with them to their ETERNAL abode as possible (Matt. 8:29, 25: 41, Mark 1:24, 5:7, Luke 4:34).
,
These demonic legions are described to us as locust. Locusts are a consuming and devouring terror to all plant life that stands before them. So devastating are locust that they can wipe out vast plush green areas of vegetation in a matter of hours. These demonic hordes are told not to devour grass, but to torment men who have NOT the seal of Almighty God (Rev. 9:4). As these demonic hosts are released from their darkened prison in the abyss they will ravish and torment the unsaved defiant inhabitants of the earth for a period of five months(Rev. 9:5). These demonic hordes are lead by a demonic general named Abaddon, whose name means destroyer! What more do you need to know about this army and very hour!
These demonic hordes are lead by a demonic general named Abaddon, whose name means destroyer!
These tortured inhabitants of planet earth - who are also part of Lucifer’s satanic rebellion against Almighty God - are now being violently oppressed by Satan’s legions of fallen angels and are now driven as cattle by Satan to serve his destructive diabolical plan in his final war of this age against Almighty God (Rev. 16:13-16). Since these individuals outright reject the Divine revelation revealed to them by Almighty God (2 Thess. 2:8-12), His two witnesses and His ministering angels, they have now opened themselves to the demonic influences and possession of their minds (2 Cor. 4:3-4, 2 Thess. 2:9-12).
Remember, by this time – the seven Seal Judgments and the first four Trumpet Judgments have passed (Rev. 6-8). Multitudes of millions (i.e.,1.5 billion) of the earth’s inhabitants have been slain by global war, pestilence and famine, not to mention the global environmental devastation that has ravished 1/3rd of the earth's natural resources, elements, sea creatures, shipping commerce, celestial lights etc... It is now - after all of this global devastation - that millions of enraged demonic hordes are released from their prison hold of the abyss and will now commence terrorizing and torturing countless millions of the surviving masses of unsaved mankind for five months.
Could things get any more horrific than this? Oh… Yes! EXPONENTIALLY WORSE!!
At this time, one might ask himself, “Could things get any more horrific than this?” For in this brief time period since the Covenant of Peace was confirmed - which was suppose to usher in world peace and a new global age for all mankind (Dan. 9:27, 1 Thess. 5:3, Rev. 6:2) - the whole world has been ravished beyond imagination and humanity is laid waste on a scale unparalleled. Vexed and tormented beyond belief by man’s transgressions and demonic oppression, could things get any more worse than this? Oh… Yes! EXPONENTIALLY WORSE!!
The Demonic Second Woe!
The background (Rev. 6, 8; 9:1-12:1) - has now been set for the introduction of the sixth Trumpet “the Second Woe!”
As the multitudes of earth’s inhabitants feel the horrific judgments and plagues of Almighty God, the destructive outworking of evil men and the oppressive tyrannical torture of the demonic devouring locust of First Woe (Rev. 9:1-12), the remaining world’s inhabitants will have to brace themselves for the Second Woe which is at hand! A demonically induced and preconceived second Global War that will set the stage for Lucifer's (Satan's) Anti Christ and 666 global state (Rev 9:15; 13).
They will be preparing the human soil to make way for Lucifer’s last offensive plan and push, the Abomination of Desolation, and 666 global states..
As the completion of the five months of the First Woe comes to a horrific conclusion, the sixth trumpet sounds (Rev. 8:13)! The heavenly command is given from the golden altar which is before Almighty God in Heaven above to release the four angels that are bound in the great Euphrates River after the Genesis flood (2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6). God’s Word states that these four immensely powerful angels are “prepared” for this exact hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men! (Rev. 9:15). It would seem that Lucifer at this time – the commander and chief of the hosts of Hell – is seeking to drastically reduce and consolidate the world’s population to be more easily managed and controlled. This "prepared” plan of mass annihilation upon the remaining inhabitants of planet earth, is to allow Lucifer to control the masses and to eliminate any opposition to his upcoming lawless one and demonic agenda (Rev. 13). As these four "extremely powerful" fallen angels begin their ministry of woe and destruction upon the remaining inhabitants of planet earth, they will be preparing the human soil to make the way for Lucifer’s last offensive plan and push, the Abomination of Desolation and his 666 global state (Matt. 24:15, Rev. 13).
Dear friends, just look at what it will take to establish and get Lucifer's anti-Christ upon the world's throne! How many biblical scholars see this REALITY and position as we have revealed to you?
Dear friends, just look at what it will take to establish and get Lucifer's anti-Christ upon the world's throne! When ALL Divine restraint is removed look how far EXPONENTIALLY lawlessness will abound! How many biblical scholars see this REALITY and position as we have revealed to you? Many today hold a very surface view of what is to be and provide little to no depth and substance for God's people about this time period. My dear friends, may we all be slaves and students to the Word of God in these days to know and understand what is to be with spiritual depth and perception!
Now back to our study... These four mighty demonic angels of the Euphrates river prison hold are commanded to stir up a stupendous and mighty army of 200 million demonic riders to destroy the remaining world’s population by 1/3. So STUPENDOUS and FRIGHTENING are their description and vision that it takes the breath away from the reader of this text (Rev. 9:16-19).
As we rattle off these horrific statistics of this period one has to shudder and try to grasp the vast carnage and devastation of this first three and a half year period. How do any of the haters of reality even make it to Armageddon at all?
During their monstrous campaign, another BILLION plus or 1/3rd of the world’s remaining inhabitants will be destroyed (Rev. 9:15)! As we rattle off these horrific statistics of this first three and a half year period, one has to shudder and try to grasp the vast carnage and devastation of human life of this time period. How do any of the haters of reality even make it to Armageddon at all? How do any survive to the end? Note that after all of this vast devastation and global carnage that the heart of the world has not grown softer towards Almighty God, but ONLY adamantly and violently harder (Rev. 9:20).
"And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (drugs), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts" (Rev. 9:20-21).
How awesomely amazingly, wondrously sobering and EXPONENTIALLY tragic beyond all imagination, that the inhabitants of this ravished world would still rather follow their demonic masters and their base practices after all that has come to pass. SUPRA-insanity, SUPRA-hysteria, SUPRA-lunacy, does not even begin to explain, nor describe these wretched souls and their mental state (2 Thess. 2: 5-12). As Almighty God cries out in His GRACE and MERCY and in His wondrous ETERNAL love to His creation; Turn, repent and be saved and yield your hearts to the perfect spiritual and natural absolutes of peace and righteousness (Isa. 32:17, James 3:18)! Receive My pardon found in My Beloved Son and have and enjoy ETERNAL life (John 3:16-17) and enjoy ME, your Creator in spirit and in truth for EVER (John 4:24) as was My design! But astonishingly, these unrepentant transgressors reply in a violent and raging harmony - to the LOVE and GRACE of Almighty God and shriek - NEVER!!! And as it were, these give Almighty God the “branch to the nose” as they hold on to their delusion and demonic insanity with an iron clasped fist. Almighty God’s Word states of this time:
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thess. 2:10-12).
As the Second Woe comes to a horrific and devastating conclusion, one may ask himself, “What can ever top that?” It has been now exactly forty-two months and three and one half days since the Anti Christ’s confirming of the covenant with the world against Israel (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:2; 11:7-14) and since then, it has been absolute hell on earth for them (totally beyond one's comprehension today) and a non stop EXPONENTIAL global blood bath.
It is at this time that Almighty God will now remove His hedge that has protected Israel for these last forty-two months..
It will be Israel's unrepentant heart and hostility against Almighty God's SUPER ABOUNDING mercy and grace that will then allow and open the HORRIFIC door of GREAT tribulation and Jacob's trouble.
The Second Woe has now come to a horrific conclusion following the Two Witnesses' resuscitation and ascension into Heaven in front of the newly reigning Anti Christ (Matt. 24:15, Rev. 13:1-5) and ALL of their global God-hating enemies (Rev. 11:7-14). The Two Witnesses' POWERFUL ascension has now only confirmed and validated ALL of their Divine message to unbelieving Israel and to a godless world. The godless confederacy of lawless men and fallen angels can NEVER stop Almighty God's ETERNAL plan for the ages! Thus the proclamation from Heaven, "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God,Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned." Rev. 11:15-17
Exceeding terror and reality now permeates ALL of the world's godless inhabitants because of their dreaded enemies ascension (Rev.11: 7-12)! However, this will not turn their hearts unto repentance for they will now ONLY double down with great rage, hatred, and vindictiveness and enter into an ETERNAL covenant of perdition with Satan's beast and receive his mark and worship his image in FULL defiance against Almighty God (Matt. 24:15, Thess. 2:10-12, Rev. 13, 14:9-11)!
The accumulated EXPONENTIAL catastrophic events of these first 3 1/2 years HAVE NOW set the stage and have tilled the ground for Lucifer's global "666" ultra fascist state.
The accumulated EXPONENTIAL catastrophic events of these first 3 1/2 years HAVE NOW set the stage and have tilled the ground for Lucifer's global "666" ultra fascist state.
My dear friend, please try to comprehend that ALL current global events in our nation and in our world are heading to this destination and EXPONENTIALLY beyond (Rev. 19:11-21)! There is absolutely NO hope for mankind apart from their Creator and Savior (John 3:16-17, Gal.1:4). My dear friend, do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? All your ETERNAL future depends on this very union. May it be so!

Many dear, professing “Christians” today, who are dear and sincere in their Christian traditions and personal beliefs, believe in a DIFFERENT Christ (i.e., they have “their own” Jesus). Therefore they - either knowingly or unknowingly - have rejected the CHRIST of the Holy Scriptures. I personally know how this works for I once had “my own” Jesus.
