At this point, there is so much devastation in America, in the world, where does one begin. Puerto Rico is still devastated, Florida is working to recover from Hurricane Irma, parts of Houston have yet to recover from Hurricane Harvey - and there is no guarantee things will go back to what they once where.
Those are all the water disasters that have effected life lately. But fires have burned out of control in California - and they continue to burn. We need to pray for California.
Napa Valley Fire Photos
I had heard, back during Harvey/Irma, that there were fires in California, Montana and such. But I hadn't seen images. But now I have. So many are displaced, have lost everything.
Please take time to pray for all those effected by the fires.

I will confess, there is a part of me that longs for the Rapture, the 1,000 years, and the New: Heaven, Earth, & Jerusalem. But there is the bigger part that knows that so many are not ready, spiritually. Once the church is gone from earth...there will be terrible times and happenings on earth. Friend, I do not want you to go through the Tribulation. I do not want you to live during the time of the Man of Lawlessness, the Anti-Christ. I want you to among those who are called to heaven by Jesus, who are spared the Wrath of God.
Please message me. Reach out to me. Let us talk.
God has laid out in His word. We know what is going to happen. And I hope you make the right choice before the time is too late.

As in the days of Noah...
After Hurricane Harvey, I wrote about some thoughts I had on Noah. Thoughts on Noah
It was nothing revolutionary, but I am back to thinking of Noah. Last night the worst massacre in US history happened. Las Vegas Shooting
While I wish this was a break from my Revelation series, this actually fits right in it. In Matthew 24:37 Jesus clearly said to His disciples:
“ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."
So let us look at what the Bible says about the days of Noah.
Genesis 6: 1-5, 11-13 (ESV) Increasing Corruption on Earth
6 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. 5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Matthew 24: 36-44 No One Knows That Day and Hour
36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Genesis 6:1-4: Sexual relations that God did not intend. God's word is clear on what is sexual sin and what is right sexually. Our world today no longer follows those guidelines. I cannot even keep up with the "new" genders or lack thereof. I know this, "Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created." - Genesis 5:2. And men are to be with women, and women with women, within the confines of marriage. And today we have sex outside of marriage, men with men, women with men, and too many variants thereafter, none of which is pleasing to God.
Along with this, lets tie this in a bow shall we. After the flood, God put a rainbow in the sky.
Genesis 9:8-17
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Satan always corrupts what God creates. God created the rainbow to be a reminder that He would never flood the earth in such a devastating way. The LGBT movement that has stolen the rainbow for their own use. The Apostle Paul uses homosexuality as an example of why God's wrath is coming:
Romans 1:18-32 (ESV)
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Genesis 6:5, 11-12: Corruption and violence.
Romans 1:28-32 really explains what the heart of man will be like at the end, before the return of Jesus:

I read God's word, and I see this generation. We have disregarded God, and He will not tolerate it much longer. I wish I could read the list above and say.."Oh! But we aren't x..y...or z." No I read the list and see America, I see the world.
I know not the day, I know not the hour. But I see the signs. Jesus is coming friends. He will come for His bride, will you be ready?
Matthew 25 (NIV) The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

People to Know: Two Prophets, Anti-Christ, False Prophet
When the church is gone, raptured to Heaven, the world is going to fall into chaos. As bad as things seems now, things are going to drastically get worse. But this is not yet the Tribulation. A man will arise, who will do what has not been done: Peace in the Middle East. Jerusalem will make a covenant and have peace.
They day this covenant is signed, there will be 2 prophets who will begin to prophesy in Jerusalem. Let's look at what the Book of Revelation says of these two individuals.
Revelation 11 (ESV)
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
Here is what we are told about them:
There are theories on who these two men are. But they are just theories, God's Word does not sate who they are, so lets not worry about that. But these two men will be present for the 1st half of the tribulation. The beast mentioned in verse 7 is the man who brought about the "peace." At this point in the tribulation, the 1/2 way point, this man will reveal to the world who he really is.
They day this covenant is signed, there will be 2 prophets who will begin to prophesy in Jerusalem. Let's look at what the Book of Revelation says of these two individuals.

Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
Here is what we are told about them:
- Given authority by God (v3)
- They prophesy for 1,260 days (which is 3.5 years {based on the Jewish calendar year which is 360 days}) (v3)
- Anyone who would harm them, the two have the power to have fire pour from their mouth to consume the foe (v5)
- Power to shut the sky, no rain will fall while the prophesy (v6)
- Power to turn water to blood (v6)
- Power to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire (v 6)
- When they are done with their testimony (which is what they are giving while on earth) the Anti Christ will conquer and kill them (v7)
- Their dead bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem for 3.5 days (v 8& 9)
- The people of the earth (non-believers) will rejoice at the death of the two - they will give gifts to each other in celebration. The 2 prophets have tormented the unbelievers with their authority.
- After 3.5 days ta breath of life from God will enter them and they will return to Heaven (v 11 & 12)
There are theories on who these two men are. But they are just theories, God's Word does not sate who they are, so lets not worry about that. But these two men will be present for the 1st half of the tribulation. The beast mentioned in verse 7 is the man who brought about the "peace." At this point in the tribulation, the 1/2 way point, this man will reveal to the world who he really is.
At the blowing of the 7th Trumpet (leading into the 7 Bowl Judgements) from Revelation 12-15 the following occurs:
* A Temple in Jerusalem
* Mystery of God is finished (10:7)
* Kingdom of world has become Kingdom of God [on earth] (11:15)
* God has begun to reign (11:17)
* Nations enraged
* Gods wrath came
* Time came to: judge dead / reward saints / destroy those who destroy the earth
* Lightening, thunder, EQ#4, hailstorm
* War in heavevn; Satan thrown to earth (12:9) Woe to earth & sea
* NOW Kingdom of God & authority of His Christ have come (12:10)
* Woman in wilderness 1260 days (time, times, 1/2 times)
* Beast (1) autority 42 months/image/mark/Beast (2)
* 144,000 in heaven
The man of lawlessness will arise. The Anti Christ will show his true colors. He will be given the authority to rule the world for a short time (3.5 years). He, with the False Prophet, will deceive those on earth. In fact, the first "miracle" is that in the battle with the two witnesses the Anti Christ will receive a fatal blow that he will recover from. The False Prophet after this will create an idol for the world to worship of the Anti Christ, and implement the mark that all will be required to take. The False Prophet will get his authority from the Anti Christ and he will perform "miracles" to draw people to the Anti Christ - and many will be deceived.
Revelation 13 (ESV)
The First Beast
13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
The Second Beast
11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
The 7 Seals and 7 Trumpets happen over the first 3.5 years of the tribulation. But with the reveal of the Anti Christ, the Wrath of God will be poured out on Earth. The 7 Bowl Judgements will be poured out during the last 3.5 years. The reign of the Beast (Anti Christ) will be during the fulfillment of God's Wrath.
Friends - you do not have to be on earth for the reign of the Anti Christ. There is still time. The church has not been raptured - believers are still here. You can be saved. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Then, seek out a Bible believing & teaching church, and start devouring the Bible. Read the Scriptures, and find out what it means to have accepted the cost of following Jesus (there is a cost - but the eternal reward outweighs any trials on earth).

Have Faith & Peace
Before I get to my message, I want to let you know the posts I have up coming:
But today, I just want to write to you from my heart.
I am zealous in my sharing of my Revelation knowledge. And I realize, having watched the facial expressions of people I talk to, that it can be overwhelming. I get so excited to share my knowledge, that I don't temper it with breathing. Once I start, I just keep going with all the rabbit trails included.
If you are a believer, if you confess that Jesus Christ is who the Bible says He is, if you obey His commands, are a disciple of His...have peace. Do not worry. We, those who are disciples of Jesus, will not be on earth for the 7 years of the Great Tribulation. I am confident in this. But if I know my readers, and I feel I do, it is not that you fear being here for it, but those you love. This weighs heavy on my hearts. I am confident that many that are in my family are going to "left behind." I know that I am not being quiet, I have tried sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I will continue to do so, and will continue to pray.
I do not know all the answers. Will animals be raptured? What is the "age of accountability"? How bad will it be before the "rapture"?
But I am having faith. I have to believe that God is control and will take care of the details that I worry about. I am doing all I can, as a mother, to share with my children, my family. I am doing the best I can to be a faithful steward with my resources: money, time, job, & ministry. I do not want to neglect my ministry, I hope to share more often with you. I hope you feel led to share my posts, as a way to inform others. There will be time during the 7 year tribulation for people to be saved. But I will stress, the 7 years of the tribulation are not meant for the salvation of the Gentiles, God's focus will be His people - Israel. But both will come to salvation.
Today is September 24, 2017. If you watched the news this week, you saw many posts, heard on the radio, and on the tv that many in the "church", many "believers" believed that the end of the world was happening on September 23rd.
Oye.
I say that yesterday signaled a change. If you have read Revelation, there was an astrological alignment described there that happened in our cosmos. I would recommend reading this article The World Won't End For 1,000 Years, If Ever to help make sense of all the hubbub of September 23rd.
I have shared my thoughts on date claiming. I believe God when He says, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." Matthew 24:36 (ESV).
But, I do believe we can know the last generation:
And because I believe we are in the last days of the last generation I am going to share, I am going to write, I am going to pray. I believe I will see Jesus Christ soon, and it will not be because my earthly body.And if it doesn't happen today, then I will thank the LORD for another day to share is message, which is beautifully summarized in this verse:
- People to Know: Two Prophets, Anti-Christ, False Prophet
- HE is COMING: The 2nd Return of Jesus Christ
- 1,000 years: The Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ
But today, I just want to write to you from my heart.

After the Church Age: Seals, Trumpets & Bowls - God's WRATH on Earth
The Church Age began on the Day of Pentecost, fifty days after the Passover when Jesus died and rose again. One day the Church Age will come to an end. There will be a day when all believers in Christ are called up to be with Him in the clouds.
Mankind does not know the day or the hour, but we will know the signs of the last generation.
Matthew 24:34 (ESV) "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." See my post: Signs of the Last Generation
So what then? All believers, all true believers in Christ are gone, what then?
Think on it. If the believer is:
People will be missing from every region on earth, every back ground, some countries more so more than others. The abrupt departure will result in chaos and mass confusion.
Leading up to this event the earth and all creation will be in the throes of labor:
Revelation 8(ESV)
SEAL 7
1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE #2
Out of the 7th Seal comes the 7 Trumpets. There will be silence in HEAVEN 30 minutes. An angel will take a censer of prayers of saints threw it to the earth.
TRUMPET 1
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
TRUMPET 2
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
TRUMPET 3
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.
Water will be poisoned. Rivers and streams.
TRUMPET 4
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
With 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars darkened - life on earth will be impacted. Plants will not grow right, life on earth will not function properly.
3 WOE'S PROCLAIMED
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”
Revelation 9 (ESV)
TRUMPET 5
9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. 7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.
Unbelievers will be tormented and unable to die. Creatures literally from the pit of hell will torment earth. They will want to attack believers, but will be restrained and directed torment and be a horror unto the unbelievers.
1ST WOE DONE
12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.
TRUMPET 6
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. 20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
EARTHQUAKE #3
Revelation 11 (ESV)
2ND WOE IS DONE
14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
TRUMPET 7
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but your wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
EARTHQUAKE #4
THE 7TH TRUMPET IS THE 3RD WOE
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
BOWL 1
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
Loathsome and malignant sores on the body of all who have accepted the mark of the beast.
BOWL 2
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.
The sea becomes congealed (Jello) not something that can sustain life. Those who live along the coasts of the earth will be forced to relocate - the stench of the blood, then the stench of all sea life that died in the sea.
BOWL 3
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say,
“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
true and just are your judgments!”
All water is now blood - no drinking water.
BOWL 4
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
The ozone layer will be gone. It will not be safe to be outside in the sunshine.
BOWL 5
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.
The beast (Anti-Christ) and his kingdom will have no light - the darkness will be so oppressive it hurts. People will go crazy from the darkness and pain.
BOWL 6
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
There will be war again. And the leader of the Armies of Heaven will return to Earth.
BOWL 7
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
EARTHQUAKE 7
After the 7th bowl is poured out, Jesus returns to earth (HIS SECOND COMING) and the following happens:
1 Corinthians 15:52 (ES) "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed."
1 Thessalonians 4:17 (ESV) "Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."
Mankind does not know the day or the hour, but we will know the signs of the last generation.
Matthew 24:34 (ESV) "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." See my post: Signs of the Last Generation
So what then? All believers, all true believers in Christ are gone, what then?
Think on it. If the believer is:
- driving a bus - it will crash
- flying an airplane - more than like it will crash
- a surgeon performing surgery - a patient could die on the table
- is a patient on the table - some medical staff are going to be confused
People will be missing from every region on earth, every back ground, some countries more so more than others. The abrupt departure will result in chaos and mass confusion.
Leading up to this event the earth and all creation will be in the throes of labor:
- unprecedented hurricanes in strength, size, wind damage, financial impact
- mass flooding across the earth - some in areas that are normally in a drought state
- tornadoes will become larger and stronger
- earthquakes growing stronger, causing more damage, happening more and more often
- tensions between nations - wars, and rumors of wars
- an increase in anti-Semitism
- moral depravity at levels not seen before
- shows approved for children that wouldn't have been approved for creation a generation ago
- teen magazines promoting how to throw a party for your friend after her aborition
- college campus's becoming a breeding ground of unrest and anti-God
All this, then in a second a mass amount of humanity will disappear. A world in chaos will be hit even harder. Hell on earth will have a new meaning. Within weeks, maybe months, a leader of peace will arise. And he will manage to create a peace treaty that will grant Israel what they have wanted for so long. To have their temple and to make sacrifices there. This man will be the White Horse of the 1st seal.

Revelation 6 (ESV)
SEAL 1
1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
A man of peace will arise, a man with a bow but no arrow - he has a commanding presence but doesn't have to resort to force. He will be given a crown - given power, given authority - and will rule. He will bring about "peace" for Israel.
SEAL 2
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
The "peace" after the chaos will not last long. The world will go to war. People will kill each other.
SEAL 3
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”
After the war there will be famine and inflation. Food will scare, people will starve globally. Oil and wine will not be touched.
SEAL 4
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
Pestilence, plague, and wild beast will be given the authority to kill 1/4 of the earth.
SEAL 5
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
This seal happens only in Heaven - no event on earth. Those under the altar will killed for their testimony and faith in the Word of God.
SEAL 6
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
EARTHQUAKE #1
The cosmos will be disturbed, the sun blackened (eclipse), moon to blood, stars will fall, earth will be disrupted.
SEAL 7
1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE #2
Out of the 7th Seal comes the 7 Trumpets. There will be silence in HEAVEN 30 minutes. An angel will take a censer of prayers of saints threw it to the earth.
TRUMPET 1
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
TRUMPET 2
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
TRUMPET 3
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.
Water will be poisoned. Rivers and streams.
TRUMPET 4
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
With 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars darkened - life on earth will be impacted. Plants will not grow right, life on earth will not function properly.
3 WOE'S PROCLAIMED
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”
Revelation 9 (ESV)
TRUMPET 5
9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. 7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.
Unbelievers will be tormented and unable to die. Creatures literally from the pit of hell will torment earth. They will want to attack believers, but will be restrained and directed torment and be a horror unto the unbelievers.
1ST WOE DONE
12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.
TRUMPET 6
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. 20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
EARTHQUAKE #3
Revelation 11 (ESV)
2ND WOE IS DONE
14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
TRUMPET 7
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but your wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
EARTHQUAKE #4
THE 7TH TRUMPET IS THE 3RD WOE
- The 6 Seals & 6 Trumpets happen over 1260 days (begins with the signing of the treaty that gives Israel "peace".)
- The 7 Bowl Judgments happen in 1260 days
- Which total is 7 years
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
BOWL 1
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
Loathsome and malignant sores on the body of all who have accepted the mark of the beast.
BOWL 2
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.
The sea becomes congealed (Jello) not something that can sustain life. Those who live along the coasts of the earth will be forced to relocate - the stench of the blood, then the stench of all sea life that died in the sea.
BOWL 3
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say,
“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
true and just are your judgments!”
All water is now blood - no drinking water.
BOWL 4
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
The ozone layer will be gone. It will not be safe to be outside in the sunshine.
BOWL 5
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.
The beast (Anti-Christ) and his kingdom will have no light - the darkness will be so oppressive it hurts. People will go crazy from the darkness and pain.
BOWL 6
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
There will be war again. And the leader of the Armies of Heaven will return to Earth.
BOWL 7
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

I hope that now knowing all that is to come - that the Church Age will end, that you will not hesitate in sharing the testimony of Jesus Christ. Share with the world that they can avoid the 7 years of tribulation - judgement, torment, and the wrath of God.
