Randy Rhoads Legacy Remembered 44 Years After His Tragic Death - A Biblical Perspective

Many out there in the Christian blogosphere might be wondering why I am posting on this topic, and remembering Randy's 44th anniversary of his tragic and horrific death. The thought that might be ringing through people's heads is: "What does Randy Rhoads' birthday and legacy have to do with biblical Christianity or prophetic events?" Well… my dear friends, let me fill you in... and be a little personal.

Randy Rhoads; who was the original guitarist of Quiet Riot in the ’70s and then came to stardom and the height of notoriety as Ozzy’s… yes… Ozzy's guitarist! It is absolutely amazing how time flies. I cannot believe it has been 43 years since his March 19th plane crash! To this day, I have NEVER forgotten that anniversary. There has always been something about Randy and his untimely death that still haunts me, and his person that has had a very special place in my heart. I cannot explain it. I know it sounds odd and corny (especially to believers), but that is my past, what can I say? Before I came to Christ in 1992, I myself was lock, stock, and barrel sold into the music industry and a huge cultic follower of Ozzy Osbourne and the rock culture. You could say that I definitely sold my soul to Rock' n Roll. I played guitar and played in several bands, and all who knew me knew that I greatly admired Randy Rhoads. For what it is worth, even my guitar was black with white pock - a – dots! Yes! I was a huge follower.

To this day, I have NEVER forgotten that anniversary. There has always been something about Randy and his untimely death that still haunts me, and his person that has had a very special place in my heart. I cannot explain it.

To all of us who were (me) and are into the music industry or followed it, Randy Rhoads was a guitar god and a legend. His guitar playing changed all the rules and techniques of his day and brought a more technical, professional, and classical approach and style to the rock genre. Randy’s playing and genius in applying guitar scales were unique. Randy was very passionate in his playing and rooted and grounded in music theory, and the list goes on. In light of all the rock’s guitarists, none has ever moved, motivated, inspired, and has been more beloved by an industry than Randy Rhoads. Tragically on March 19th, 1982, Randy was killed in a plane crash, cutting short his life and his guitar genius. His tragic death left a GAPING VOID in the rock world of that day, which has NEVER been filled. The countless daily thoughts of Randy’s fans and admirers ponder and wonder, oh… what could have been, and why him? They continually ring throughout the music world even today, 43 years later!! Unlike the majority of all rock guitarists in that filthy industry, arrogant, proud, haughty, narcissistic, and lewd, Randy was very different.

His unique and humble personality has stood out in a narcissistic and opportunistic industry, and that has left a greater legacy than the genius of his wondrous guitar playing.

.

In the later months of his life, Randy became highly admired and respected not just for his playing and total professionalism, but for being the complete opposite of those in the rock industry and world. As a 14-year-old boy, that is what I admired the most about Randy. I could identify with him on that. Randy was humble, kind, caring, and considerate, and totally not a poser. He was – as silly as this might sound to some - a role model in a godless and decadent world which kids so desperately wanted. He loved to teach guitar and loved his family very much. Many have been greatly influenced by Randy, not just for his playing but for the kind of person that he was. His unique and humble personality has stood out in a narcissistic and opportunistic industry, and that has left a greater legacy than the genius of his wondrous guitar playing.

Randy’s upbringing, according to his brother Kelle and his beloved mother, was that of a strong “Lutheran” Christian rearing, and after years of rebelling against those foundational teachings from his youth, Randy’s conscience was beginning to convict him of being a part of that lifestyle.
.

It has been told by many, including Randy’s mother, brother Kelle, Rudy Sarzo, and Ozzy himself, that Randy in the last year or so of his life wanted OUT of the godless, drug-induced rock industry to further a musical career as a classical guitarist. As told by many, Randy did not drink or do drugs, which is unheard of in that decadent and godless society. It is also said that Randy had become very serious in his personality and that touring with Ozzy had really changed him. I truly believe that the life in that godless industry was beginning to turn his stomach, and he wanted out. I personally know (by personal experience) that at the age of 24 (not that I was ever at Randy’s level or sphere) I could not be a part of it anymore and adhere to my conservative “religious Christian” upbringing. I believe that this is what Randy might have been thinking near the end of his life. What is most mysterious and an important insight is that on the night before Rhoads' death, Sharon Osbourne stated that Randy said to her: "I don't think I want to be a rock 'n' roller anymore". Why would Randy ever make that statement at the height of his fame unless he saw what that industry was all about?  Randy’s upbringing, according to his brother Kelle and his beloved mother, was that of a strong “Lutheran” Christian rearing, and after years of rebelling against those foundational teachings from his youth, Randy’s conscience was beginning to convict him of being a part of that godless lifestyle. Randy’s Brother, Kelle had shared that touring and playing with Ozzy was causing conflict in his mind due to his upbringing. Who knows? Out on the road, away from friends and family, one is more open to evaluating one’s life and what it all means. The big lights of fame and the countless concerts of fans praising you after a while do not seem to satisfy one anymore (Eccl.). There comes a time in one's life that one looks outside of themselves for the TRUE meaning of our existence here in time.

What is most mysterious and an important insight is that on the night before Rhoads' death, Sharon Osbourne stated that Randy said to her: "I don't think I want to be a rock 'n' roller anymore".

One begins to think and evaluate who one is; what is the meaning of life, reflecting on one’s past and upbringing, and in the fear of one’s accountability to Almighty God (Job 28:28, Prov. 1:7). All of Ozzy’s drunken, drug-induced lifestyle, demonic cross waving, and anti-biblical personality had to affect Randy. It went against all that he was taught growing up, and night after night of it must have finally come to a head. It must have been then that Randy shared with Sharon that he wanted out of Rock' n Roll after doing it since his early teens. Many of these private ponderings and thoughts individuals keep to themselves as they wrestle with them in their hearts, ever seeking to justify them or objectively condemn them. If this was the case with Rand,y I do not know, it might have been. Whatever the case with Randy, there was a change taking place in his life, and people saw it. The rest, unfortunately, is a great mystery, and that is what hooks people till this day about Randy Rhoads, the countless thoughts of the unknown, and the thoughts of what would have been.

One begins to think and evaluate about who one is; what is the meaning of life, reflecting on one’s past and upbringing, and in the fear of one’s accountability to Almighty God.

The thought that I want to share about Randy’s death’s anniversary is that no matter who we are or what we are or the manner of our living, whether good or evil, in the end, we ALL will give an account to our Creator on that Last Day (Matt. 7:21-23, Rev. 20:10-15). Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world (Gen. 18:25, Rom. 3:5). Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown (John 4:24, 14:6, Acts 4:12, Rev. 21:27). Tragically Randy’s followers on this 42nd anniversary all will picture him to be in “heaven”, a “heaven” which is after THEIR OWN subjective fallen design and delusional reality. My dear friend, it is IN DEATH that our ETERNAL sobering summons to stand before our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator Almighty God to give an account for what we have done in our bodies in this fallen world is called (2 Chron. 19:7, Eccl. 3:17, 12:13-14, Heb. 9:27). We do not want to pretend with our fallen delusional reasoning that we in our own deeds are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS to stand before our Creator. For who is there that EVER lived (virtuous or vile) that has NOT TRANSGRESSED against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (John 3:36, Rom. 3:23)? My dear friend, REALITY is desperately needed in this hour and day, for we will all give an account, maybe even tonight perhaps to Almighty God (Rom. 14:12, 1 Peter.4:5). We do not know when our hour will be at hand but we must be ready! ETERNITY is always before us (Job, 27:8, Prov. 10:2, 27:1, Luke 12:19-20, Rev. 20:11-15)!

Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world. Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown.

Almighty God has made ETERNAL provision in His dear and precious Son Jesus Christ for the transgressions of the ENTIRE world, which includes YOU and ME (John 3:16-17, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2, 4:10)! That is the REALITY that we as individuals most desperately need to comprehend and understand. May I, my dear friend, ask you this VERY sobering and pertinent question? How can YOU or I (TRANSGRESSORS of Almighty God’s PERFECT LAW) ever stand before Almighty God our Creator, who is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (RIGHTEOUS)? How can we EVER enter into His PERFECT and HOLY Heaven (Isa. 53:6, 64:6, Rom. 7:24-25, Rev. 21:27)? My dear friends, we NEVER can (Rom. 3:23). It is ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS without God's PERFECT Lamb (John 1:29, 1 Peter 3:18-19, Rev. 1:5). We are in a horrific and desperate NEED for Divine propitiation and a Savior (Rom. 7:24-25, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). My dear friends, it is when one places their absolute trust IN Jesus Christ that individuals transgressions are forgiven and removed and the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ – who died in our stead - is transferred unto us (Rom. 4:5, 5:8)! It is IN Christ where our RIGHTEOUSNESS is found alone not in anything we ever can do (Rom. 7:24-25, 10:2-4, Titus 3:5)!

We are in a horrific and desperate need for Divine propitiation and a Savior.

My dear friends, as millions reflect on Randy's 44th anniversary of his passing and legacy, may we look OUTSIDE of the box of this fallen and temporal world to see the ETERNAL in light of this little temporal life here on planet earth. My dear friends, it is all about ETERNITY, will YOU be ready?

Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has allowed and used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic, and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet earth. The question that we must ask ourselves is, will we pay FULL attention? Whether Randy in the last days of his life came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior no one knows, but Almighty God PERFECTLY gave him every opportunity to do so, just as He is doing for all alive on planet earth at present (John 16: 8-11, Rom. 2:4). No one will EVER die without having every opportunity to hear the SAVING Gospel of Jesus Christ. For, in the END, it is OUR own personal freewill that will make our ETERNAL decision (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:29-31). In the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God, I have personally made my decision. Though I wrestled with Almighty God for years He wondrously in His ETERNAL love and kindness, gave me some time to beat my drum and to exhaust all of my delusional thinking (Rom. 2:4). In the end, Almighty God showed me how desperately I needed Him and how gracious to me He truly was. I have received Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL saving solution for me - a transgressor and sinner - and I have NEVER looked back (John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-10)! How could any look back? You see, I can absolutely identify with Randy's life, not that I ever lived on his level, but our lives were very similar. The lifestyle of that industry may be enjoyable for a season, but there is no way anyone can find fulfillment in it let alone serve Almighty God in it. Almighty God is calling OUT any who will hear His voice and have an ear to hear (Matt. 13:18-23, Mark 4:9). Do YOU have an ear to hear? That is the ETERNAL question at hand.

Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic, and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet Earth.

Whatever choice Randy made about his ETERNITY, if he could tell us anything, he would communicate to all that loved him how desperately crucial it is for one to have Almighty God's ETERNAL pardon and redemption found ONLY in Jesus Christ - pro or con (John 3:16-17, 36, 11:25-26, Rev. 20:11-15, 21-22:1-5). My friends, I am sure many will misunderstand this post and be enraged. They will NOT be objective and evaluate it based on the REALITIES of Almighty God’s Word, but it is my sincere desire that at least one out of the millions will consider the WONDERFUL saving grace of Almighty God. For, in the end, that is what this life and brief existence on planet earth is all about! It's up... TO... YOU... to choose. What will it be?

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

DEE - by Randy Rhoads - To Hear Song

My personal composition and Song of Testimony - Matthew 4:19

MARANATHA in Such Days!

Today's Demonic Gaslighting and Euphemistic Delusion of America - Isa. 5:20!

The godless American Left today are EXPONENTIALLY gaslighting, deceiving, and using lawless and godless euphemisms via the Fake News media, etc. as never before! What is so astounding is how many millions of Americans have been led astray and are more than willing to follow this demonic deception! The words peace, love, joy, and harmony which are used today by the lawless are nothing more than an altered reality of turmoil, anarchy, lust, and delusion (Isa. 5:20, Rom. 1:18-32)! The redefining of moral absolutes can never change reality (truth), no matter how many billions of people one may gather together or rally to their cause (Rev. 16:13-16). My friends, if one cannot see the difference between the past two presidential candidates in 2020, then one never will! Almighty God has used President Trump (like him or not) to totally expose the godless Left in America, which absolutely permeates every facet of American culture today! He is using President Trump to sift Americans before the Day of the Lord! Today's godless Left will never go away and in the end, will overrun conservative America after the Rapture of the church! The Four Horsemen and 666 are coming, and are even at the door! The Demonic gaslighting of America will only EXPONENTIALLY increase! May many open their eyes to the ETERNAL Gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE (John 14:6)!

It is the world's delusional godless desire to seek the fruits of RIGHTEOUSNESS by the application of lawless euphemistic means.

How can anything good precede from anarchy and a delusional reality which seeks only to make war with and destroy REALITY and TRUTH (Romans 1:18-32)? It is the world's delusional godless desire to seek the fruits of RIGHTEOUSNESS by the application of lawless euphemistic means (Isa. 48:22, Rom. 3:10-23). As we let world history testify to the violent and lawless actions of fallen man from Adam to the present, what makes anyone ever think that by excluding REALITY, TRUTH, and the DIVINE ABSOLUTES of Almighty God that this can EVER be achieved (Rom. 1:18-32; 3)?

This has been Satan's greatest deception to mankind, that they DO NOT need Almighty God to exist and His saving remedies to survive for  FOREVER (Eph. 2: 2-3). Satan himself is a liar and the father of it. (John 8:44). He has absolutely deceived himself and look at what he has become since his fall (Isa. 14:1-14, Ezek. 28:12-19, John 8:44). The fruits of his rebellious existence have been catastrophic and horrific and testify to all the angelic hosts that his delusional reality is one of bankruptcy, violence, and vanity (John 8:44, Rev. 20:10).

The redefining of moral absolutes can never change reality (truth), no matter how many billions of people may gather together or rally to their cause.

God’s Word states: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18).

"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).

In the ever redefining and “doublespeak” society of today, the Lord Jesus Christ described how to discern between truth and error.

"Sanctify (set apart) them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17).

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ ( John 1:17).

"Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh" (James 3:12).

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit" (Matt 12:33).

Do not be deceived by the redefining of absolutes and use of euphemistic alternative terms, no matter how many people back then. Place your sole trust in Almighty God and His never-changing Word! Then you will have true peace and true hope in these days of absolute uncertainty. Place your trust in Christ today! You will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at Hand!

Leftist Euphemisms and Double Speak

The EXPONENTAL EQUATION - Who Will Truly Hear the Divine WARNINGS!?

The HORRIFIC ills of our nation are already in supersonic motion moving as a 10,000 ft. tsunami towards our national shore and how can one man or even a remnant of U.S. conservatives stop such a HORRIFIC tsunami??  It takes great blind faith of any individual to believe that any man or any political party can stop and overturn our nation's EXPONENTIAL crisis and reverse our nation's super sonic death spiral. We are at the end and either you will receive these evil tidings or in great delusion receive the lie that its not to late to save America. 

One must look at our day and hour from the EXPONENTIAL perspective! For ALL things globally, lawlessly and technologically are moving, growing and deteriorating at EXPONENTIAL speeds! Leave out this equation and you will be blinded by the demonic narrative of the day!

Like in Noah's days and in Jeremiah's days; so are our days (Gen. 6, Jeremiah 1-16). Almighty God's Divine Judgment in now heavy on our nation and soon on the entire world as the Day of the Lord is at the door (Rev. 6-19)! But who will hear?!! My dear friends, who will hear?? Will you?? There are too many straw men and too many voices of deception that drowned out the voice and cries of REALITY and DIVINE reason! Man's voice and Satan's whisper is more preferred and tolerable to hear than Almighty God's call to repentance and ETERNAL salvation (John 3:16-21).

Like in Noah's days and in Jeremiah's days so are our days (Gen. 6, Jeremiah 1-16). Almighty Divine Judgment in now heavy on our nation and soon on the world as the Day of the Lord is at the door! But who will hear?!!

How can any society survive when moral absolutes are hated, scoffed at and demonized by both political parties? The answer is, “It will not!” Dear friends, anyone with half an inkling has to see the EXPONETIAL growth of lewdness, debauchery and the "in your face gaslighting" while destroying is overwhelmingly sinking this nation  We are way past the point of return and Almighty God's GREAT DAY of WRATH is at hand (Rev. 6-19)! Thus, we now see the final sad state and coming downfall of our once great and highly respected nation (Psalm 11:3, Prov. 14:3). 

Almighty God's Divine Judgment in now heavy on our nation and soon on the entire world as the Day of the Lord is at the door! But who will hear?!! My dear friends, who will hear?? Will you?? 

Many Conservatives these days are aligning themselves with fiscal conservative while ignoring and turning a blind eye to social moral positions. These delusional dreamers are being deceived and are by no means stopping the bleeding of our nation by its abandonment of social-moral conservative absolutes. They are placing ALL their trust in fallen men, a lawless apostate political parties, destructive lawless ideals and are feeding the fire for the demise of our nation, as prophetically predicted by our Founding Fathers.

Tragically, it will be this complete abandonment of social morals that will be America's final demise.

Tragically, it will be this complete abandonment of social morals,which we are seeing EXPONENTIALLY eroding right before our very eyes that will lead to our nation's final demise! My dear friends, we are all ready here! This nation - due to her abandonment of moral absolutes and the soon coming Rapture of the body of Christ - will finally implode on herself, thus opening the door to the entrance of the Four Horsemen and the dreaded Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19). My dear friends, it is absolutely crucial for all individuals to be sure that they personally know the Savior of this doomed and fallen world (John 1:12, 3:16-17, 1 John 5:10-13). This world is headed into the final showdown between lawlessness and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Between Lucifer the fallen angelic creature and the ETERNAL GOD and CREATOR of ALL that is in the heavens and the earth (Rev. 16:13-16). All to the ETERNAL LIFE BOAT! JESUS ETERNALLY SAVES!

My dear friends, the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand! Maranatha Bride!

The EXPONENTIAL Events Which Will Lead Up To The Anti-Christ's 666 Global State!

We as a world and nation today are experiencing the compounding EXPONENTIAL rise in lawlessness and its EXPONENTIAL catastrophic and non-reparable wake. When global Western nations fully support and promote wicked woke policies,  you its time to look up and the Day of the Lord is very nigh! Here in America, the 2020 presidential elections most likely will have been America's last and while it's on the table,, national civil war is indeed at our very doorstep. To not see this dire REALITY is to be as a blind man and a fool! An ETERNAL saving relationship to Jesus Christ is all crucial and faith in Almighty God and His Word all important! May many wake up in Christ and be His children of the Day and may many come to an ETERNAL saving relationship to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR and Savior of the world in such times (John 1:12; 3:16-17, Eph. 5:16-17, 1 Thess. 5:1-5)! For 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. The godly global restraint will then be removed, and who will then be able to stop the EXPONENTIAL GODLESS and LAWLESS FLOOD of the Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19)! For all had better be prepared, for Almighty God's "Day of Wrath" is now at hand, and who shall stand (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 assignment and 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 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 fallout 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. According to Answers in Genesis, there are fewer than 1.8 million documented species of organisms in the world. Over 98% of these species are fish, invertebrates, and non animals (like plants and bacteria).

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 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 ravaging 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 its 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 that they thought were 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 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 its 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 conquerors 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 hand, for 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 Noahic 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 locusts. Locusts are a consuming and devouring terror to all plant life that stands before them. So devastating is the locusts 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 led 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 like 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 oneself, “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 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-in-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-clad 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 oneself, “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 nonstop 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..

Jacob's Trouble!

As we are now about to see, Israel and its hosts of unbelieving Jews (Rev. 11:8) will now begin to feel the chastening hand of Almighty God, the global ravaging of Satan’s hatred, and the world’s wrath. It will be Israel's unrepentant heart and hostility against Almighty God's SUPER ABOUNDING mercy and grace (Ezek. 39:26, Matt. 22:1-13, 24:51, Luke 14:15-27, Rev. 11:8) that will then allow and open the HORRIFIC door of GREAT tribulation and Jacob's trouble (Jer. 30:18, Ezek 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 11: 45, 12:1, 11, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:1-2, Matt. 24:15-19, Mark 13:14-19, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 12, Rev. 13).  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 (Jer. 30:1-8, Dan. 12:1, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:-2, Matt. 24:15-22, Mark 13:14-20, Luke 21:20-24, Rev. 12:12-17).

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

The Two Witnesses' POWERFUL ascension has now only confirmed and validated ALL of their Divine message to unbelieving Israel and to a godless world!

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.

The “Great Tribulation" also called "Jacob’s Trouble”, HAS NOW BEGUN! With the institution of the Abomination of Desolation (Jer. 30, Dan. 12, Zech.11. Matt. 24:15, Rev. 11:1-2, 12:9-17, 13).  Events for Israel and the godless world’s inhabitants will only now get even more EXPONENTIALLY worse, to the point of unimaginable proportions (Dan. 12:1, Matt. 24:21)! It will be now (with the final Third Woe and Trumpet judgment) that Lucifer and His angels will be cast out of Heaven and confined to this puny planet until Messiah's return. He will now seek all of his focus on the destruction of Israel and her remnant and make war with any who professes Jesus is Lord. For at this time great WOE unto is upon ALL the inhabitants of the earth, for Lucifer knows his time is short and is filled with GREAT wrath (Rev. 12:12).

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!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

DJP I.F.

Dear friends, please note, the word EXPONENTIAL or EXPONENTIALLY is used by us as a state of continuous EXPONENTIAL growth, decay, ruin, horror, etc, in each setting; many don’t understand our usage of this word as we use it; ☝️😊

The Two Witnesses are Key! Where Do the Two Witnesses Fit into Daniel 9:27?

What is Sin?
