All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs) Matt. 24:8.
These Two Witnesses of Almighty God will be extremely more powerful and than the anti-Christ and his global confederacy against Israel and will be used throughout the first half of this tribulation period by Almighty God to make His RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Person known to a full-blown godless world and unbelieving Israel.
These Two Lamp Stands of Almighty God (Moses and Elijah) will preach salvation in Jesus Messiah, reinstitute the temple, its sacrifices, and its priesthood. They will preach repentance and testify to ALL that the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15, 2 Thess. 2:4, Rev. 11:3-6). These two will then prepare the remnant of believing Jews and a chosen 144,000 Jewish men - from the 12 tribes of Israel - (Matt. 24:14, Rev. 7:4-8, 11:13) for their global ministry unto ALL of the nations of the earth and their Messiah’s glorious and imminent return and Kingdom (Matt. 24:14, Mark 13:10, Rev. 7). It will be at this time - the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period - that the WORLD will seek every and any opportunity to root out and destroy these two Divinely appointed vessels of Almighty God... all to no avail (Mal. 4:4-6, Rev. 7,14:1-4,11:3-8). While Israel dwells in safety under the Divine ministry of Moses and Elijah, the world will be experiencing the EXPONENTIAL Seal and Trumpet Judgments of Almighty God (Rev. 6-9).
While Israel dwells in safety under the Divine ministry of Moses and Elijah, the world will be experiencing the EXPONENTIAL Seal and Trumpet Judgments of Almighty God.
It will be also at this time - at the beginning of this seven-year period, while Israel dwells in their land in absolute safety (Ezek. 38:8,11,12,14) - that the WHOLE GENTILE WORLD will begin to be trodden down by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Rev. 6:1-8). It will be after their catastrophic ride throughout the entire globe that the world will lose ¼ of its total population (1.75 billion) to war, famine, and pestilence. This ride will cause global markets to be wiped out and the global economy to implode and will affect every individual throughout the world. Billions will feel the effects of death and war and mankind will become extremely hard-hearted and cold (Matt. 24:12). Confusion will EXPONENTIALLY abound as man's technological advances and communication is wiped out and as technological dependency detox sets in. Deception will now EXPONENTIALLY abound and be received as men seek to preserve their temporal lives at all costs and as the pressures to survive increase the works of the flesh will be revealed globally as never seen before (Matt. 15:16-20, Matt. 24:1-8, Gal. 5:19-21, 2 Tim. 3:1-5), for lawlessness, violence, rage, immorality etc.. will EXPONENTIALLY abound!
It will be after their catastrophic ride throughout the entire world that the world will lose ¼ of its total population (1.75 billion) to war, famine, and pestilence and will cause global markets to be wiped out and implode.
The Trumpet Judgments
.
Following the Seal Judgments of the Lamb of God follow Almighty God's "Trumpet Judgments" upon the earth’s inhabitants, its vegetation, its water (fresh and salt), and the celestial lights in the first and second heavens (Rev. 8:1-13).
As we shall see, the first four of the seven Trumpet Judgments shall strike the earth and its inhabitants with EXPONENTIAL unparalleled global cataclysmic destruction. Let us take a look!
The First Four Trumpet Judgments
The First Trumpet Judgment destroys 1/3 of all trees and grass upon the face of the earth with fire! (Rev.8:7). That comes to roughly 133 billion trees. 7% of all landmass is covered with grass. This area covers 9.93 million sq/km or 3.8 million sq/miles. This total area - which is given over to fire - is roughly a little bit bigger than the total landmass of the United States which would include Alaska. Can you even imagine the smoke which is generated from this global inferno?
The Second Trumpet Judgment will cause 1/3rd of all the seas of planet earth to turn to blood (Rev. 8:8-9). The fall out of this catastrophic global devastation will also cause 1/3 of all the sea creatures to perish and 1/3 of all the world's ships and their crews to perish also! Some facts:
1. 70.8 % of the earth’s surface is covered by water. 68% of that 70.8% is saltwater. 1/3 of the seas or 22.6% of the world’s surface area or 122 million sq/km or 47.1 sq/miles will be decimated and turned into blood! That is roughly the size of the Pacific Ocean! (How horrific!!) Ocean info link
.
2. The number of sea creatures destroyed by this trumpet judgment will be too innumerable to number. From the smallest creatures to the giant whales it must be in the trillions. 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 ravishing effects upon the face of the earth by these Seven Seal Judgments and the first four Trumpet Judgments. Remember, that these judgments were ordered upon the inhabitants of the earth and their planet because of their exponential godless rebellion and violence against the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God (Gen. 1:31, Isa. 24:5-6, Rom. 1:18-32). These horrific global catastrophes - including the unimaginable devastation incurred by the Four Horsemen and the wrath of man - in which 1/4th of the world’s population was slain - will bring to the forefront the unbridled passions and uncontrollable violence of humanity's godless and evil fallen heart (Ps. 7:9, Jer. 17:9-10, Matt. 15:17-20, Jude 1:10). Nothing manifests the human heart as tribulation does and reveals to all, our utter godless depravity without the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God (Jer. 17:10, Matt 15:18-19, Gal. 5:19-21, Rev. 9:20-21).
These cataclysmic events will reveal and bring to the forefront of humanity's utter hatred and disdain for their Creator and His ETERNAL sovereignty (Rev. 9:20-21). As these events intensify, the world will outwardly manifest 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 which they thought never imaginable. Instead of repenting and crying out for Almighty God’s mercy and pardon, these will continually harden their hearts as Pharaoh of old, and instead of looking into God's perfect mirror of righteousness (Psalm 19:7, Rom. 10:2-4), they will seek a scapegoat and a villain for their entire calamity (Matt. 24:8-13). Since Israel – at this time - is unaffected by these horrific Seal and Trumpet judgments that take place during the first half of this tribulation period, the world’s inhabitants will seek to lash out after Almighty God’s people (i.e., Israel). Israel has always been the world's most favorite scapegoat and during this time, this hatred will reach an all-new exponential level. The WORLD - at this time - will greatly unite as one man and seek to destroy Almighty God’s two witnesses (Rev. 11: 4-6) and the apple of His eye (i.e., the nation Israel) (Deut. 32:10, Psalm 17:8), but again, all to none avail (Ezek. 38:8, 11-12, Rev. 11:3-7).
As these events intensify, the world will outwardly manifest its ever-hardening position towards Almighty God by their godless deeds and war against His redeemed.
The Three Horrific Demonic Woes unto the Earth!
.
.
The word “Woe!”, when used by Almighty God in this alarming and dreadful way should send ice-cold shivers of fright up the spine of any individual, sane or insane. So dreadful, so unimaginable, so fearfully horrifying are these last series of Trumpet Judgments that an angel is sent by Almighty God to sternly warn the remaining godless and rebellious inhabitants of planet earth of what is yet to be!
Almighty God's Divine angelic air raid siren pierces through the world's darkness warning all of the pending doom which is now at hand.
.
“And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitors of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!” (Rev 8:13)
The Demonic First Woe!
.
This First Woe has to do with the demonic legions which are held prisoner in the bottomless pit called “the Abyss”. These demonic hosts were placed there by Almighty God for their gross transgressions and heavenly rebellion against Almighty God and His ETERNAL sovereignty. They were most likely placed there after the Noaic flood for their excessive part in leading men to global rebellion against their Creator and his natural laws (Gen. 6, Isa. 14:12-17, Ezek. 28:12-19, Jude 1:6).
These godless beings in their psychotic rage and violence will seek to – once again - tyrannically dominate and plague man, preparing all of humanity for the Third Woe which is to come.
,
These 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 lead by a demonic general named Abaddon, whose name means destroyer!
Remember, by this time – the seven Seal Judgments and the first four Trumpet Judgments have passed (Rev. 6-8). Multitudes of millions (i.e.,1.5 billion) of the earth’s inhabitants have been slain by global war, pestilence, and famine, not to mention the global environmental devastation that has ravished 1/3rd of the earth's natural resources, elements, sea creatures, shipping commerce, celestial lights etc... It is now - after all of this global devastation - that millions of enraged demonic hordes are released from their prison hold of the abyss and will now commence terrorizing and torturing countless millions of the surviving masses of unsaved mankind for five months.
Could things get any more horrific than this? Oh… Yes! EXPONENTIALLY WORSE!!
At this time, one might ask himself, “Could things get any more horrific than this?” For in this brief time period since the Covenant of Peace was confirmed - which was suppose to usher in world peace and a new global age for all mankind (Dan. 9:27, 1 Thess. 5:3, Rev. 6:2) - the whole world has been ravished beyond imagination and humanity is laid waste on a scale unparalleled. Vexed and tormented beyond belief by man’s transgressions and demonic oppression, could things get any more worse than this? Oh… Yes! EXPONENTIALLY WORSE!!
The Demonic Second Woe!
The background (Rev. 6, 8; 9:1-12:1) - has now been set for the introduction of the sixth Trumpet “the Second Woe!”
As the multitudes of earth’s inhabitants feel the horrific judgments and plagues of Almighty God, the destructive outworking of evil men and the oppressive tyrannical torture of the demonic devouring locust of First Woe (Rev. 9:1-12), the remaining world’s inhabitants will have to brace themselves for the Second Woe which is at hand! A demonically induced and preconceived second Global War that will set the stage for Lucifer's (Satan's) Anti Christ and 666 global state (Rev 9:15; 13).
They will be preparing the human soil to make way for Lucifer’s last offensive plan and push, the Abomination of Desolation, and 666 global states..
As the completion of the five months of the First Woe comes to a horrific conclusion, the sixth trumpet sounds (Rev. 8:13)! The heavenly command is given from the golden altar which is before Almighty God in Heaven above to release the four angels that are bound in the great Euphrates River after the Genesis flood (2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6). God’s Word states that these four immensely powerful angels are “prepared” for this exact hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men! (Rev. 9:15). It would seem that Lucifer at this time – the commander and chief of the hosts of Hell – is seeking to drastically reduce and consolidate the world’s population to be more easily managed and controlled. This "prepared” plan of mass annihilation upon the remaining inhabitants of planet earth, is to allow Lucifer to control the masses and to eliminate any opposition to his upcoming lawless one and demonic agenda (Rev. 13). As these four "extremely powerful" fallen angels begin their ministry of woe and destruction upon the remaining inhabitants of planet earth, they will be preparing the human soil to make the way for Lucifer’s last offensive plan and push, the Abomination of Desolation and his 666 global state (Matt. 24:15, Rev. 13).
Dear friends, just look at what it will take to establish and get Lucifer's anti-Christ upon the world's throne! How many biblical scholars see this REALITY and position as we have revealed to you?
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?
"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 Second Woe comes to a horrific and devastating conclusion, one may ask himself, “What can ever top that?” It has been now exactly forty-two months and three and one-half days since the Anti Christ’s confirming of the covenant with the world against Israel (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:2; 11:7-14) and since then, it has been absolute hell on earth for them (totally beyond one's comprehension today) and a 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 ravishing 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 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 profess 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!

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