As one begins to read chapters 6-19 of the Book of Revelation, one would have to shudder in absolute fear at the horrific global catastrophes and exponential devastation that will take place, not just on this earth, but also unto its inhabitants. No wonder the Lord Jesus Christ electrified his disciples on the Mount of Olives when he stated: "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved (delivered)" - Matt. 24:21-22a.
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)!

"Israel will sign this covenant from a position of strength not weakness"
It will be at this time - at the beginning of this seven year period, while Israel dwells in their land in absolute safety - that the WHOLE GENTILE WORLD will be trodden down by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Rev. 6:1-8). It will be after their catastrophic ride through out the entire world that the world will lose ¼ of its total population (1.75 billion) to war, famine and pestilence (Rev 6:1-8). Following the Four Horsemen’s ride of doom and the opening of the fifth seal will be the opening of the sixth seal in which a GREAT GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE 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 indeed that they are now in the long predicted “Day of the Lord” and His “Day of Almighty God's Wrath"! (Rev. 6:15-17)
The Trumpet Judgments
Following the Seal Judgments of the Lamb of God come 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 1.33 billion trees. 7% of all land mass 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 then the total land mass 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 salt water. 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 number 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 of almost the size of the Pacific Ocean?
..
The Third Trumpet Judgment will cause 1/3rd of all fresh water 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 fresh water. 1/3 of this water supply (33% of the 3%) will be poisoned killing multitudes of the world’s inhabitants during this period.
The Forth 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 affects 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 fore front 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 with out 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 humanities 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 callus, 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 o 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 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 have greatly feared and dreaded this present hour which is now at hand (Matt. 8:29, Mark 5:7, Rev. 18:2).
The Three Horrific 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 inhibitors 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 First Woe!
The First Woe (Rev 9:1-11) of the Trumpet Judgments will take place exactly 24 months and 3.5 days (i.e., 1263.5 days) after the covenant with Israel with the Anti Christ on behalf of many (Dan. 9:27). (See chart for date details.)
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 their 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 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 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. 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 forever and ever! It is their sole intention to discredit Almighty God's Word and promises 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 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 out right reject the Divine revelation revealed to them by Almighty God, 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. 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 compare and humanity 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 Second Woe!
The back ground (Rev. 6, 8; 9:1-12:1) - has now been set for 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 out working of evil men and the oppressive tyrannical torture of the demonic devouring locust of First Woe, 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 state".
"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).
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 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 alter which is before Almighty God in Heaven above to release the four angels that are bound in the great Euphrates River. 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 up coming 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).
These four mighty demonic angels of the Euphrates river prison hold are commanded to stir up a stupendous and mighty army of 200 million men 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 these 13 months and 25 hours another billion plus or 1/3rd of the world’s remaining inhabitants will have been 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 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 to God but 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 compare, 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! 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 (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, 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:
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 Israel and the world (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:2; 11:7-14) and since then, it has been absolute hell on earth (beyond one's comprehension) and a non stop 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".
As a young unsaved man I was very much into the heavy metal scene, not just participating in the lifestyle and culture, but also in the playing of this music. A song that we use to play and listen to was a song by Iron Maiden called “The Number of the Beast”. The intro of this song begins with a man with a very dire voice quoting Revelation 12:12, 13:18.
As we are now about to see, Israel (the hosts of unbelieving Jews (Rev. 11:8) will now begin to feel the chastening hand of Almighty God, the global ravishing of Satan’s hatred and the world’s wrath. As the Second Woe comes to a near completion, so does also the mighty Two Witnesses of Almighty God’s ministry. Their 1260 days are now fully accomplished and NOW the Anti Christ will own the next remaining 1260 days or 42 months of this tribulation period (Rev. 11:3; 13:1-5). 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 exceeding terror and reality that now permeates ALL of the world's godless inhabitants because their dreaded enemies - which were destroyed by their no "savior and hero" (i.e., the Anti Christ) - have been resuscitated and have accended into Heaven (Rev.11 :7-12).
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) - things now for Israel and the godless world’s inhabitants will get even more exponentially worse, to the point of unimaginable proportions!

The Woe of all Woes!

As a young unsaved man I was very much into the heavy metal scene, not just participating in the lifestyle and culture, but also in the playing of this music. A song that we use to play and listen to was a song by Iron Maiden called “The Number of the Beast”. The intro of this song begins with a man with a very dire voice quoting Revelation 12:12, 13:18."Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who have understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six"
Today, millions of heavy metal fans across the world know the intro of this song as they know their very own names. They can quote this passage verbatim as unsaved religious folks can quote the Lord’s Prayer. I truly wonder how many - lost and saved today - fully comprehend the full magnitude, weight and depth of this EXPONENTIAL super abounding time (Great Tribulation) of demonic oppression and tyranny. The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused into this Iron Maiden song (Rev.12:12, 13:18) will most likely, be alive when this very Satanic intuition goes into full effect (Matt. 24:15). What this song has done is to take the sting out of the horrific warning and has neutered these Bible verses by twisted them to subtly promote the acceptance of the demonic agenda of 666, which will reign over the world very shortly (Rev. 12:12; 13:18).
"The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused in this Iron Maiden song will most likely, be alive when this Satanic intuition goes into effect".
.
As we have shared, with the end of the Second Woe, forty-two months and three and a half days have transpired since the confirming of the covenant with Israel by the Anti Christ (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:2; 11:7-14). (See chart for details). There are now - since the Abomination of Desolation - only 3 ½ years left of this seven year period called the "70th week of Daniel" (Dan. 9:27) and in these remaining 3 ½ years, this time will solely belongs to this demonic despot of all the ages (aka. Lucifer the son of the morning) and to his Anti Christ (Rev. 13). As unstoppable as Godzilla was as he wasted Tokyo, so also will be Lucifer (i.e.,Satan) as he utterly terrorizes and wastes the world’s remaining inhabitants (Isa. 14:16-17, Rev. 13). Lucifer is now fully unleashed and WOE indeed unto the earth and sea, for who can escape from his insanity, vindictive fury and rage (Rev. 12:11)?
Since Lucifer and his angelic followers fall (Isaiah 14:12-17, Rev. 12:4), Lucifer and his demonic mob have had free reign and access to the heavens (i.e., the earth’s atmosphere, the celestial, and Almighty God’s throne room) and planet earth. It is at this time and hour - at the ascension of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7-14) - that Almighty God will now confine together these two rebellious groups made up of the fallen demonic angelic intelligences along side with the unrepentant sons of Adam (i.e.,mankind) as He executes His final judgments and eradicates the lawless dominating rulers of this age (Dan. 2:43-44, 7:27, Matt. 13: 30, 41-42, 47-50, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12 Rev. 11:15, 16).
.
The words despotic, authoritarian, tyrannical, autocratic etc. in their deepest and fullest descriptions fall so exceedingly short when seeking to describe the Satanic oppression during these last 3 ½ years called “The Great Tribulation” (Matt. 24:21-22). So horrific a time that Jesus stated that, “if the days were not cut short that NO ONE WOULD EVER SURVIVE” (Matt. 24:22)! This "time period" is experientially far more horrific than all the world wars and global pestilence put together. To add to man’s global woes during this time - as we have presently looked at – the inhabitants of the world now will have a SUPERNATURAL OPPESSOR and TYRANT whose power, strength and genius exponentially surpass the limited confines of mankind. This fallen evil genus (Lucifer - aka. Satan) and his rebellious host of untold millions of fallen angelic hosts are now - because of their explulsion and denied access to the third heaven - confined and concentrated to this little o’l planet called earth. Planet earth has now become their new temporal prison cell (Rev. 18:2) until Christ’s glorious return to earth (Rev. 19:11-21). It has been this very time and hour that has been the most haunting and dreadful thought in the minds of the fallen angelic hosts, for they now know indeed that their time is exceedingly short (Matt. 8:29, 25: 41 Mark 1:24, 5:7, Luke 4:34, James 2:19).
Here He Comes!
As we have shared, with the end of the Second Woe, forty-two months and three and a half days have transpired since the confirming of the covenant with Israel by the Anti Christ (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:2; 11:7-14). (See chart for details).

Lucifer the son of the morning) and to his Anti Christ (Rev. 13). As unstoppable as Godzilla was as he wasted Tokyo, so also will be Lucifer (i.e.,Satan) as he utterly terrorizes and wastes the world’s remaining inhabitants (Isa. 14:16-17, Rev. 13). Lucifer is now fully unleashed and WOE indeed unto the earth and sea, for who can escape from his insanity, vindictive fury and rage (Rev. 12:11)?War in Heaven
Since Lucifer and his angelic followers fall (Isaiah 14:12-17, Rev. 12:4), Lucifer and his demonic mob have had free reign and access to the heavens (i.e., the earth’s atmosphere, the celestial, and Almighty God’s throne room) and planet earth. It is at this time and hour - at the ascension of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7-14) - that Almighty God will now confine together these two rebellious groups made up of the fallen demonic angelic intelligences along side with the unrepentant sons of Adam (i.e.,mankind) as He executes His final judgments and eradicates the lawless dominating rulers of this age (Dan. 2:43-44, 7:27, Matt. 13: 30, 41-42, 47-50, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12 Rev. 11:15, 16). The Three Woes in which we have looked at are three demonic groups which are all released on planet earth in Almighty God’s final judgment phase upon men and the demonic world.
"It is at this time and hour that Almighty God will now confine together these two rebellious groups made up of the fallen demonic angelic intelligences along side with the unrepentant sons of Adam".
Now - with his expulsion from the heavens - Satan will with great wrath enforce the global worship of himself through his anti Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-4, Rev. 13:4,8,12). He will establish and institute his Anti Christ's reign (Rev. 13) and the institution of the Mark of the Beast (i.e., 666); in which none can buy or sell without this inscription on their hand or forehead (Rev. 13:16-18). He will seek to rewrite the times and the seasons of the established absolutes of time and ETERNITY (Dan. 7: 25) and with his army of human and demonic forces, he will press hard after Israel seeking to obliterate her (Rev 12:13). For it is in Israel that are found ALL of God’s promises and blessing for the nations of the world (Gen. 12:1-3, Rom. 9:4-5, 11:11-15, Gal. 3:8). Lucifer will seek also to make war against the world’s believers of Jesus Christ at this time (Rev. 17:13-14) and seek to annihilate any vessel of God that offers salvation to the earth’s remaining inhabitants (Dan. 7:21, Rev. 13:7, 17:13, 14).
We first saw the legions of demonic hosts which were imprisoned in the abyss released to occupy and torment men for five months (Rev.9:1-11). Then we saw the release of the four super demonic angels from their imprisonment below the Euphrates river - which was divinely pinpointed to the very hour, and a day, and a month, and a year by Almighty God- whose demonically induced activity caused 1/3 of the remaining population of mankind to perish from off the face of the earth (via the 200 million man army Rev. 9:12-19). Now we shall see - at the end of the Second Woe (Rev. 11:7-14) - the remaining demonic hosts which occupied the three heavens and their despotic leader driven out from the heavens and their full access to it by Michael the archangel of Almighty God (Dan. 12:1, Rev. 12:7-13).
As Lucifer and his angels are cast down to the earth and are now confined and imprisoned to its limited confines (Rev. 18:2), absolute panic, fear and rage will occupy the hearts and minds of these godless and fallen heavenly intelligences. This has been a day and hour that these demonic hosts have so long feared (Matt. 8:29, 25: 41, Mark 1:24, 5:7, Luke 4:34, James 2:19, Jude 1:6). The dreaded hour is now finally at hand and their time is indeed exceedingly short. For these fallen angels - who have existed and lived outside the realms of time and space for millenias -will now find that in these remaining 3 1/2 years - that their time is indeed but a few brief moments. Their destruction is now at hand and these highly intelligent, super powerful insane beings will now release their FULL FURY and RAGE on the chosen people Israel (Zech. 12:2-3, 13:8-9, 14:2, Rev. 12:13), and the followers of the Lamb of God (Dan. 7:21, Rev. 13:7, 17:13,14). For in these remaining 3 ½ years, these three angelic groups of exiled demonic hosts will stir up and lead the remaining ravished masses of unbelieving humanity in an ALL OUT WAR against Almighty God’s Lamb, His redeemed of this time period and His chosen nation of Israel (Dan. 7:21, Rev. 13:7, 17:13,14). Their chief goal and agenda will be the total eradication of ALL of those who have placed their total trust in the Lamb of Almighty God for salvation and these will vainly try to alter, discredit and to make of no effect Almighty God’s covenant promises with the nation Israel (Gen. 12:1-3, Deut. 7:6-7, 1 Chron. 17:21). At the pinnacle of godless rebellion, delusion and absolute vanity these fallen angels seek this agenda, but in the end they will all meet their ETERNAL doom (2 Thess. 2:8, Rev. 20:11-15).
The Third Woe
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" (Rev. 12:7-9).
"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" (Rev. 12:12).
It is at this time, when all prior events unimaginable to the human mind of man have transpired, that the remaining events of this Great Tribulation period will get even more horrific and exponentially worse. For the Monster of all monsters of all the ages is cast out of heaven! The very one who once enjoyed the choicest position of fellowship with Almighty God and then sought to over throw Him (Isa. 14:12-17, Ezek, 28:13-19), the very one who deceived and murdered our first parents (Gen. 3:1-7, John 8:44), the very father of lies, the original hater of reality (1 John 3:8), the despiser of all that is Almighty God, is now finally cast down to earth and he is full of exponential fury and wrath (Rev. 12:13). WOE indeed to the inhibitors of earth and sea for there is ABSOLUTELY no place you can escape from his person now.
His Agenda
Now - with his expulsion from the heavens - Satan will with great wrath enforce the global worship of himself through his anti Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-4, Rev. 13:4,8,12). He will establish and institute his Anti Christ's reign (Rev. 13) and the institution of the Mark of the Beast (i.e., 666); in which none can buy or sell without this inscription on their hand or forehead (Rev. 13:16-18). He will seek to rewrite the times and the seasons of the established absolutes of time and ETERNITY (Dan. 7: 25) and with his army of human and demonic forces, he will press hard after Israel seeking to obliterate her (Rev 12:13). For it is in Israel that are found ALL of God’s promises and blessing for the nations of the world (Gen. 12:1-3, Rom. 9:4-5, 11:11-15, Gal. 3:8). Lucifer will seek also to make war against the world’s believers of Jesus Christ at this time (Rev. 17:13-14) and seek to annihilate any vessel of God that offers salvation to the earth’s remaining inhabitants (Dan. 7:21, Rev. 13:7, 17:13, 14).For in these last three and a half years of the tribulation period Lucifer’s tyrannical grip on humanity will be merciless and unrelenting. As Almighty God distributes His seven bowl (vial) judgments (Rev. 16) upon earth’s rebellious inhabitants, these subjective, God hating, wretched beings WILL NOT wavier and continue to follow and worship the Anti Christ and Lucifer loyally. These will NOT let go of the godless rebellion and will adamantly refuse to repent (Rev. 16:9, 11, 21)! Oh how utterly tragic!
"So hard hearted will the remaining inhabitants of planet earth be at this time that they will absolutely refuse Almighty God’s last call for grace and mercy"
.It will be at the time of the end of this seven year period that Satan, his anti Christ and false prophet will seek to lead all of what remains of the dregs of godless insane humanity to the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:13-16). So hard hearted will the remaining inhabitants of planet earth be at this time that they will absolutely refuse Almighty God’s last call for grace and mercy (2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 16:9). Their consuming passion will be to ABSOLUTELY DESTROY Almighty God (Psalm 2). As the seven bowls or vial judgments are poured out upon the remaining inhabitants of planet earth - for judgment and to wake up these demonically charged inhabitants unto repentance (Rev. 14:6) - these will still seek with all of their heart’s hatred and passion to fight against Almighty God (Psalm 2, Rev 16:9). As the men of Sodom groped for the two angels(Gen. 19:8-11), even when they were struck with divine judgment and blindness, so also will these do all the way to Armageddon to war against Almighty God. This assembly of ravished humanity who are the remaining dregs of all the nations will be Lucifer’s last army in his last great offensive. This last delusional push will have one sole purpose. The final eradicating of the seed of Israel and of Almighty God (Ps. 2, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:2, Rev 12:13-15). No wonder Almighty God on His throne will laugh His head off (Psalm. 2). It will be at this time – when all looks hopeless and dire for God’s ravished people and nation Israel that the King of kings and Lord of lords will come from Heaven’s glory with all His saints (armies, hosts) and destroy the Anti Christ and False Prophet, and obliterate his human armies (Isa. 34:2, Zech. 12:9,14:3-4, 2 Thess. 2:8, Rev. 19:11-21).
"As the men of Sodom groped for the two angels - even when they were struck with divine judgment and blindness - so also will these do all the way to Armageddon to war against Almighty God"
.
.
It is at this time (at the end of the second 42 months of the seven year tribulation period) that Lucifer will be bound by an angel of Almighty God (one who is far less in rank then he) and will be imprisoned for a thousand years in the abyss (Rev. 20:1-3). It will be at the end of the thousand year reign of CHRIST that Lucifer will be let loose for a little season to sift the hearts of the men and women which will be born during this 1000 year reign of Christ from those redeemed inhabitants of planet earth who at the end of the tribulation enter into Christ's kingdom (Matt. 13:37-43, 47-50, 25:31-40). Even after a thousand years Lucifer will once again go out in his rage and hatred and deceive the nations of this time, but in the end, he will come to his ultimate and final doom and FOREVERMORE make his abode in Almighty God's ETERNAL prison, the "Lake of Fire" (Rev. 20:10).
"Thus will he be tormented and judged by the very ETERNAL ABSOLUTES of reality that he has warred against FOREVERMORE"
My friend’s the Bible (God’s Word) teaches us that; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12). This is one of the most pertinent truths for all to comprehend and believe.
.
Lucifer will finally meet his demise in the Lake of Fire – Almighty God’s ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS prison - for all eternity. Thus will he be tormented and judged by the very ETERNAL ABSOLUTES of reality that he has warred against forever more. The consuming righteous fire will FOREVER judge and consume his perpetual rebellion against all that is ABSOLUTE and ETERNAL. so will be His self induced fate (Rev. 20:10).
It’s Exponentially Bigger Than Us
My friend’s the Bible (God’s Word) teaches us that; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12). This is one of the most pertinent truths for all to comprehend and believe.These ruling powers are far greater and beyond all that we can even imagine. Man is just a pawn in Lucifer’s godless rebellion against His Creator and since the Garden of Eden, man has followed Lucifer's suite. The Bible teaches that; Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41).
The fallen angels of Almighty God’s prior creation can never alter their destiny. They are doomed FOREVERMORE! But for Adam’s fallen race (Romans 5:12-21), there is ALWAYS hope!
The Bible states that: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17)".
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? As these days head into dire times and then finally into "Great Tribulation" under the demonic tyranny and supernatural oppression of the “Three Woes of Revelation”, may you be sure that you know the Lord before the Trumpet blows! Once this event called “the Rapture” takes place, you will have no choice but to go through this period of time, which will be unparalleled in the 6000 year history of man (Matt. 24:21-22). If you will NOT receive Christ now (Rom. 10:2-4), what ever makes you think that you will during that time period call the tribulation or the "70th Week of Daniel"?
May your trust be in Christ my friend! For what you do with Him will determine your ETERNAL destiny (John 3:16-17, 3:36).
The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!
