The Lamb then broke the seventh seal and there was silence in heaven for about half an hour..............................The first blew his trumpet, and with that, hail and fire, mixed with blood, were dropped on the earth; a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of all trees, and every blade of grass was burnt. The second angel blew his trumpet, and it was as though a great mountain, all on fire, had been dropped into the sea: a third of the sea turned into blood, a third of all the livings in the sea were killed.............................................................................It was by these three plagues, the fire, the smoke and the sulphur coming out of their mouths, that the one third of the human race was killed.......
But the rest of the human race, who escaped these plagues, refused either to abandon the things they had made with their own hands - the idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood that can neither see or hear nor move - or to stop worshipping devils. Nor did they give up their murdering, or witchcraft, fornication or stealing...............Then the angel that I had seen, standing on the sea and the land, raised his right hand to heaven, and swear by the One who lives forever and ever, and made heaven and all that is in it, and earth and all it bears, and the sea and all it holds. The time of waiting is over, at the time when the seventh angel is heard sounding his trumpet, God's secret intention will be fulfilled, just as he announced in the Good News told to his servants the prophets...... Then I was told, 'You are to prophesy again, this time about many different nations and countries and emperors.' - Revelation chapter 8, 9, 10 -
The enemies from Mesopotamia who captured Lot and were destroyed by Abraham - Gen. 14:1-17 - foreshadowed God's punishment and destruction of Assyria and Babylon at the end of Israel's period of captivity - Is.13-14; Dan. 5:13-31 - and the end-time punishment and destruction of the pagan people represented by Babylon. - Rev. chapter 17, 18, 19, 20 -
Other fore-shadowing of the wrath of the Day of the Lord are the downfall of Jericho with its seven trumpets, which announced the presence of God above the ark - Jos. 6:13 - and the seven trumpet judgments of the book of Revelation. - Rev. 8:2-21; 11:15-19 - These various punishments and destruction of Israel's enemies looked toward the final destruction of all God's enemies in the Day of the Lord. Jesus' casting out of demons - Mark 5:29; Luke 8:31 - also foreshadowed God's judgment on fallen angels and who will be cast out in the day of the Lord. - Jude 6; 2Peter 2:4 -
When the thousand years are over. Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive all the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, and mobilise them for war. His armies will be as many as the sands of the sea; they will come swarming over the entire country and besiege the camp of the saints, which is the city that God loves. But the fire will come down on them from heaven and consume them. Then the devil, who misled them, will be thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their torture will not stop, day or night, forever and ever. - Rev. 20:7-10 -
In the end times, a basic order of judgment...................

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
