THE FIFTH TRUMPET
George Offerman
It has been about 2.5 years give or take a few months, an as difficult as it may seem to believe, conditions have improved somewhat. The first four trumpets, which were directed at the environment, have stopped. The sea has calmed down, and shipping products and food (albeit limited) has resumed, the sky has cleared somewhat and daylight is getting back to what it was prior to the trumpets. Babylon is gaining traction in its message that the planet can be rebuilt, and the harsh laws it put into place appear to be working. Likewise the 144,000 continue to preach their message about the end of time and the second coming of Christ, but are also warning about the incredible judgments to come through the next three trumpets.
A third group of people has begun to form, and is beginning to challenge Babylon, and this could be considered the ‘non religious’ rebels. This group is made up of the people who want to have nothing to do with Babylon and its false religions, as this group has watched Babylon enforce religion with extreme measures onto the population. This group also despises the 144,000 and their message, as they see the destruction of the trumpets, and do not accept the idea of a ‘Loving God’ sending this much death and destruction. This group wants to be left alone, and have nothing to do with either camp.
The effectiveness of the 144,000 has slowed considerably due to the conditions improving, and their message of the horrors soon to come are contrary to what mankind is observing, what Babylon preaching, and the fact that the Gospel has been heard by nearly all. Also, the population is now conditioned for survival mode, and those who made a decision for Christ are being mocked, persecuted and imprisoned for not following the laws of Babylon. It is difficult to say if martyrdom is wide spread at this point, but it would seem the 144,000 have not lost any of their numbers yet, as Jesus is not finished in using the 144,000 to get out his message, and the miracle working powers of these people are more than likely keeping the very human Babylon at bay.
This is all about to change….
Revelation 9:1-11, "Then the Fifth Trumpet angel sounded, and I saw a star having fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit."
"Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree; but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads. And they were not authorized to kill them, but to torment them for five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death, and will not find it; and they will desire to die, and death will flee from them."
"The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. And they had breastplates, like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running into battle."
"They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek his name is Apollo."
"One woe is past. Behold, two more woes are coming hereafter".
Satan will majestically appear in the clouds, escorted by millions of angels, and mimic the second coming. God allows Satan to physically appear, and take the form of a man, as Jesus was allowed to do. This delusion is sent, as to complete the decision making process that has now stalled. There is a large group of humanity that has yet to decide, and it is most likely that this group will be targeted by this evil ‘Angel king”, and Lamb like Beast. Simultaneously, millions of demonic angels will be allowed to torture those without the seal of the Living God, and the verses state this torture is like that of a scorpion yet will not kill. There will be some perplexity, as this lamb like being will be claiming to be God, and appearing to perform astounding and positive miracles, while allowing for extreme torture of those not following the 144,000.
Due to the fact Satan is not omnipresent, he will have to mimic the second coming in various places around the world, by descending from the heavens multiple times, or use what infrastructure of communications that is left. This also fulfills Jesus warning in Matt 24:26-27 "Iftherefore they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go forth, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east, and flashes even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be." What is occurring with Satan is similar to what scriptures state, but not exactly as they state, and sensationalism will reign over purity of the word, and many will be caught up in this deception. After all, never in world history has such an event occurred, or such a brilliant being descended onto humanity. Listening to the Word of God, and to the 144,000 will be a challenge to the senses, as one will have to use faith to overcome what one sees.
Satan also goes along with Babylon, affirming their positions that the Judgments need to stop, the world needs to be rebuilt, and the laws imposed by Babylon need to be enforced to a degree that they have not been able to accomplish up to this point. Satan will validate the need for swift punishment, and have the supernatural ability to combat the 144,000 and their miracle working power. Satan will directly blame the 144,000, and their ‘demonic influence’ over the earth as the reason for the scorpion like creatures torturing those in Babylon. After the 5 months of torture are up, Satan will direct his wrath, and Babylon’s wrath at the 144,000 and their followers, stating that judgments cannot end until these people are eliminated. It is easy to say, that after experiencing pain and suffering up to the point of death, that the inhabitants of Babylon, and the non religious rebels, will be very angry at the 144,000 and want revenge.
Up to this point, the 144,000 and their followers, as well as the increased numbers joining the non religious Rebels had at least some semblance of safety, due to the fact they had been dealing with human forces. Angels are superior beings in every fashion, and with their freedom from the abyss, there is in effect ‘no where to hide’ for anyone. The angelic demons who went around the world ‘stinging’ those not marked with the seal of the Living God, also would have noted where everyone is. The moment of truth is now upon all of humanity, and the stage is set for the sixth trumpet. Babylon still believes this ‘lamb like’ beast is god, and they will ultimately and freely hand over their resources and authority to Satan.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR AND INSURRECTA NEX CONTEST
“Health care is about healing”
I am in favor of health care reform and find it unacceptable that 18,000 of our countrymen die each your for lack of health insurance in the world’s richest nation.
Health care, however, is about healing the sick and discovering cures for diseases. It is not about compelling taxpayers and businesses to fund the killing of their preborn neighbors and future customers.
I encourage congress to pass a health bill that will extend coverage to all Americans who cannot afford health insurance. Any legislation that would force taxpayers to pay for the destruction of healthy preborn American babies in not health care.
Please call your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 and your Congress person at 202-225-3121. Urge them to insert language in the health bill prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion ands well as against mandating that health insurance policies cover abortion.

MICHAEL BROWN RETREAT
George Offerman
My wife and I attended the Michael Brown retreat this past Saturday in New Jersey. For those of you who don’t know who Michael Brown is, he is a journalist who started the Website Spirit Daily in 2000. Mr. Brown is a Roman Catholic, who has been following current events that have spiritual significance, and has written several books that deal with issues such as the after life, spiritual warfare, and prophesy. Mr. Brown is one of the most pragmantical journalists concerning religious issues I have ever had the pleasure to encounter, and his retreat covered the above mentioned areas in a well organized, thoughtful, and well documented fashion.
The retreat started by focusing on the after life, and went over hundreds of documented near death experiences that had very similar descriptions. Basically, many had the positive experience of going through a tunnel, and meeting a light, which some described as Jesus, others described angels, and others described as deceased relatives. Usually there was some form of life review, and a heightened awareness of surroundings, light, colors and an enhanced sense of well being. Some experiences something closer to Purgatory, a place described as dark and grey, but without having any entities that looked or acted demonic. Some had the experience of going to a place like hell, where the sense of dread was nothing that could be described in this life, and there demons were present, that looked very much like many of the statues of gargoyles and other creatures’ artists have depicted in their art forms.
From the afterlife, Mr. Brown transitioned into spiritual warfare, and discussed how there has been a noticeable ‘quickening’ in the past few weeks. He discussed how this seems to occur around the “Devil’s Christmas, Halloween”. Mr. Brown was able to offer very pragmatical advice in combating evil and discussed the difference between demonic activity and ‘earthbound spirits’ of deceased humans in very clear terms. Mr. Brown was able to give very pragmatical advice on the use of blessed items, prayers to use if noticing any sort of spiritual activities, and how to deal with the spirit of anger, and forgiveness.
The afternoon session focused mainly on prophesy, in which Mr. Brown discussed medjugorje and its fruits and messages, and cited how the seers have only spoken about receiving secrets, but give no details concerning the contents of the secrets, only mentioning they will occur during the life of the seers. Mr. Brown also covered what he calls the 1990 prophesy, that is covered in his book, The Tower of Light. The 1990 prophesy is based upon ‘another chance’ for humanity to correct a potential ‘evil’ similar to abortion to stave off judgments or chastisements, but noted how this test, based upon genetics and cloning, is failing miserably. He discussed that we are possibly getting near the end of a ‘pre warning’ phase of time, and could be entering the ‘warning’ phase within 2 years. This information is based upon a number of credible visions and locutions by a number of people who have had credibility in this area. Mr. Brown also showed how the prophesies have occurred as written so far, giving more credibility to the claims made.
The retreat wrapped up with a brief discussion about the new world order, and emerging proof that the dark forces are gaining ground, and Mr. Brown actually named the Rockefeller Foundation as the main culprit in funding such endeavors as eugenics, Planned Parenthood, sterilization programs in third world countries, genetically modified foods and the control over the food systems. Mr. Brown also went into how the new world order is lead by Satanic forces that are spiritual in nature, and the manifestations of this so far have not been all encompassing, but have been more of a generalized attack.
Overall, the retreat was well run, and hard hitting with documented evidence of the topics covered. I highly recommend this retreat if people can get to it. Mr. Brown unfortunately has had to take on the role of the church, by openly discussing and teaching about matters that should be main stream teachings of the church and proclaimed on a regular basis. Get to a session if you can.

A CALL TO ARMS
George Offerman
“Seek the Lord while He may be found, call on Him while He is still near” Isaiah 55:6
If one has been reading the previous posts and paying attention to this information, it should start to gel’ and a picture will begin to emerge that we are in trouble. I have been hearing from friends, some family, and too many of my clients over the past few years that “something bad is about to happen, but I can’t put my finger on it”. We are in the midst of a monetary collapse and a way of life that is about to end, whether or not these are the end times. Change is on its way, like it or not, believe it or not, ready or not.
I am still getting a lot of ‘flack’ over conspiracy. I neither have the desire nor the patience to debate this topic anymore with the uninformed. What I have discovered over the decades while studying prophesy is the ones who speak with great authority have a few things over those who don’t: a great thirst for knowledge, centered in truth, perseverance to continue even if alone or hitting ‘dead ends’ while learning, willing to give and stand up for an unpopular message, fear and resistance from the uninformed, and attention from the dark powers, which can range from slander to death
For instance, I have written about God’s money, and focused on silver. I believe when the time occurs (if we have it) Ted Butler will be called to testify in front of a house or senate committee and TOTALLY tear up Barney Frank and his top one thousand advisers. I believe Ted Butler could be woken out of a dead sleep, and in 5 minutes with no notes or any preparation, would say more about the monetary and silver situation than Barney Frank could ever conceive of in the atom sized brain in his head. If we are fortunate enough to see that day, I want a front row seat.
It’s people like Ted Butler (in silver), Larry Wilson (Study of Revelation), and others, like Randall Terry who are my heroes. They have proven their mettle by taking the hits that came their way, and are some of the most educated people I have ever met or have come to know. God has promised that those who study Revelation in particular, and the Bible in general, with blessings and understandings. If I didn’t understand passages or Books of the Bible, I always seemed to meet someone who did and it always seemed to be about the time I wanted to give up on the studies. There are people who have way greater knowledge than I do, and I’m not claiming to be a ‘big shot’ in the least. I just feel called to share what I have learned and challenge those who have not taken the time, to do so before things get too dicey. “For lack of knowledge, my people perish” Hos 4:6
This knowledge I am referring to is the proper and truthful application of the knowledge. For instance, everyone is ‘knowledgeable” about gravity, so it would be well understood that if someone jumped off a building, one would understand the outcome, which would be the person hitting the pavement at a high rate of speed. Hence, no one understanding the law of gravity would debate whether that person knew what would happen, the only debate they would have is whether to label them ‘suicidal’ or ‘stupid’. You never hear anyone saying “I personally don’t believe in gravity, so I’m going to walk off this building and float”. They would be locked up in a hospital that treats non medical issues. In this example, one would be properly applying this law, and would be able to predict accurately the outcome of anyone breaking this law.
God’s laws are even more absolute than gravity, but treated as relativistic. This, unfortunately, is a deadly misinterpretation of God’s laws and God’s character. We are given enough warnings through his word, and human history has verified God’s word and prophesies to understand God follows through EXACTLY as He says. When God warns us to protect life, especially the weak, infirmed and most vulnerable, He means it! He has also made clear that the shedding of innocent blood requires retribution, and innocent blood also “cries out” from the ground, and He hears this cry. Do you want to risk eternity on ‘messing’ with the meaning of this interpretation? I don’t.
We are called to be God’s and Jesus’ hands and feet while here. Are you willing to stand up and be counted, or are you going to sit in the back of the room, in the shadows, and ‘hope’ you are not seen by the master as he looks for laborers? Come forward, and develop the ‘courage’ muscle before the opportunity slips away. I don’t believe we have a lot of time before ‘something’ happens. Whether it is, as Fred Sanford stated, “this is the big one” or a cleansing, something is ready to take place, and the dark forces are well mobilized and ready to act. Be like Ted Butler, Larry Wilson, Randall Terry and others and stand up to this beast. Our lives, here and in eternity, depend on it.

MORE THOUGHTS ON BABYLON
George Offerman
The last few posts have been loaded with heavy and sobering information. It is unfortunate that a lay person has to do the job of the clergy and the official churches, especially given the fact they should be teaching this as regularly as school s teach the ABC’s. Everyone should have a precursory knowledge of prophesy, and have an idea of what to expect. In that way, one can digest the information in a way that does not ‘scare the hell’ out of them. I don’t think I will hold my breath on this one.
I am dismayed that most Christians still want to debate concepts such as conspiracy, plotting by the dark side, and in some cases, whether demons and evil actually exist. This naiveté only demonstrates how far behind Christianity is in the race for the soul of humanity. It is no wonder most scoff at the Church, as it makes a mockery of the authority it should hold versus what it actually demonstrates.
The dark side is getting so bold that they are doing many of their dirty deeds openly. The Federal Reserve gave away 2 trillion taxpayer dollars to unknown and unnamed entities and nary a peep from the sheeple. Then when someone like Ron Paul does something about it, most want to make fun of him by calling him a conspiracy nut, whack job, etc. This monster Babylon is being created right in front of us, but because the need to be tolerant and to get along is so blinding, most don’t see it.
That is precisely why men will be ‘amazed’ at this monster, because it will be so large, encompassing, and created so quickly, there will be little choice but to acquiesce to it. Man is so used to being told what to do; they will blindly follow it, and will not be receptive to the message of the 144,000. Those who do listen to the ‘Elijah’ people will be persecuted to an extent we have yet to experience in this country. It will make Notre Dame look like a Kindergarten nap time.
On the positive side, the fellowship during the time of Babylon will also be like nothing we have ever experienced. The need to keep one’s words will have life and death consequences. Prayer and communion with God will be open, and there will be more people lead to Christ in this short time than ever in the history of the world. Grace will abound for those who accept the seal of the Living God, and the ability to stand up to persecution and martyrdom will be there. It is also possible that this final generation will experience a ‘sinless state’ once sealed, as God will grant abilities and faith proportional to the persecution at hand.
This will take a leap of faith, and assuredness that God means what He said and will not abandon his children in their hour of need. I can imagine, like Elijah, those with the seal of the Living God will be fed by Ravens, if necessary, and have water gush from rocks. It will be an awesome time, and to have the assurance of salvation while alive is a privilege that no one else will experience who has not lived during this time.
So, the story of Revelation is that of hope. Hope in a loving, merciful, but just God, and that in the end, Truth prevails over the lie, and creation is restored to its perfected state, forever. As hard as it is to believe, this period of time will go by quickly, and those saved will have eternity to share their experiences with the rest of creation. It will be a memory, and one will never experience the curse of sin ever again.
The last few posts have been loaded with heavy and sobering information. It is unfortunate that a lay person has to do the job of the clergy and the official churches, especially given the fact they should be teaching this as regularly as school s teach the ABC’s. Everyone should have a precursory knowledge of prophesy, and have an idea of what to expect. In that way, one can digest the information in a way that does not ‘scare the hell’ out of them. I don’t think I will hold my breath on this one.
I am dismayed that most Christians still want to debate concepts such as conspiracy, plotting by the dark side, and in some cases, whether demons and evil actually exist. This naiveté only demonstrates how far behind Christianity is in the race for the soul of humanity. It is no wonder most scoff at the Church, as it makes a mockery of the authority it should hold versus what it actually demonstrates.
The dark side is getting so bold that they are doing many of their dirty deeds openly. The Federal Reserve gave away 2 trillion taxpayer dollars to unknown and unnamed entities and nary a peep from the sheeple. Then when someone like Ron Paul does something about it, most want to make fun of him by calling him a conspiracy nut, whack job, etc. This monster Babylon is being created right in front of us, but because the need to be tolerant and to get along is so blinding, most don’t see it.
That is precisely why men will be ‘amazed’ at this monster, because it will be so large, encompassing, and created so quickly, there will be little choice but to acquiesce to it. Man is so used to being told what to do; they will blindly follow it, and will not be receptive to the message of the 144,000. Those who do listen to the ‘Elijah’ people will be persecuted to an extent we have yet to experience in this country. It will make Notre Dame look like a Kindergarten nap time.
On the positive side, the fellowship during the time of Babylon will also be like nothing we have ever experienced. The need to keep one’s words will have life and death consequences. Prayer and communion with God will be open, and there will be more people lead to Christ in this short time than ever in the history of the world. Grace will abound for those who accept the seal of the Living God, and the ability to stand up to persecution and martyrdom will be there. It is also possible that this final generation will experience a ‘sinless state’ once sealed, as God will grant abilities and faith proportional to the persecution at hand.
This will take a leap of faith, and assuredness that God means what He said and will not abandon his children in their hour of need. I can imagine, like Elijah, those with the seal of the Living God will be fed by Ravens, if necessary, and have water gush from rocks. It will be an awesome time, and to have the assurance of salvation while alive is a privilege that no one else will experience who has not lived during this time.

BABYLON
George Offerman
“And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. 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. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder. Men 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?’ And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty two months.”
Revelation 13:1-5
The last post covered the first four trumpets, and at this point, mankind is overwhelmed and lost in its ability to comprehend or deal with these judgments. There are dead everywhere, resources are scarce, the coasts are unapproachable due to the tossing of the sea from the asteroid impact, and it is dark, and more than likely, getting colder. There is no semblance of normalcy, and anarchy begins to rule. Mankind is looking for leadership at this dark hour, but more important, wants the judgments stopped and an explanation for what happened and why God is so angry.
The dark forces, who have been preparing for a moment like this, will quickly take advantage of the trumpets. They will be able to accomplish in a few days to a few weeks what many despots in the past were unable to do: create a one world organization. They have been ‘the hands and feet’ of Satan for some time and have the ability, through control of the monetary system, the political system, and connections with all of the official religious bodies to pull this off. Little do they know, but they are ultimately doing the Lord’s bidding and demonstrating that evil people (or entities) ‘running the show’ will ultimately destroy everything they touch, including themselves.
Babylon rises quickly, as evidenced by its ‘leopard’ body. It will have great authority to speak (lion’s mouth) and trample anything in its way (bear’s feet). The seven heads are interpreted in Rev 17 as hills, or religious systems. Another clue to the fact the seven heads are religious, is the fact ‘blasphemous names’ are written on them. Generally, world powers, kingdoms or countries don’t speak for God, religious systems do. One of the religions was given a mortal wound, but healed at the time of tribulation. The ten horns are ten kings who will be self appointed or possibly appointed by the religious coalition. The reason the religious systems take over is due to the fact that all of them, despite worshiping God in different ways, or other gods, will all agree that “God as they understand him” has judged this world. Hence, the political systems in effect will be taking orders from the religious systems and this will become a theocratic based one world government.
Because of its diversity, Babylon, meaning “confusion” will have some difficulty initially getting everyone ‘on board’. There will be very harsh penalties for anarchy, and judgment and punishment will be swift. Babylon will enact multiple ‘sinless’ laws, most likely outlawing things like homosexuality, abortion (no longer necessary since the 144,000 will be identified and in active ministry) hate crimes and other diversity laws, and mandate worship in whichever religious system a person belongs.
On the surface, Babylon’s laws will look reasonable, and sound very similar to what the 144,000 are preaching. This has to occur in order for deception to take place. Babylon will attract those who revel in legalism, as the laws will mandate harsh judgment on the smallest of infractions, and there will be many in all of the religious hierarchy that will believe they know what’s best (despite the fact they did not see this coming).
Blasphemy occurs for several reasons. First, Babylon will mandate worship, and this is direct conflict with God wanting people to worship Him of their own free will. God will not accept this form of worship. Second, Babylon will be pushing for a ‘works based’ plan of salvation that will operate under the presumptions that we will ‘act’ our way out of the judgments from good works, and ‘sinless laws’. Thirdly, Babylon will be teaching that not only can the judgments be stopped, but the planet and society can and will have to be rebuilt. This message will be in total contradiction to the fact that time and history are coming to an end, and the 144.000 will be preaching a message that is contrary to the above mentioned points.
The seven religions also have different days of worship. Islam sees Friday as a holy day, Judaism on Saturday, and Catholicism and Protestantism on Sunday. Since none of the religions will capitulate to the head that was mortally wounded and came back to life, there will be an uneasy alliance by the diverse religions until the time of the ‘lamb like’ beast, who will eventually eliminate them all. None of the official religious bodies will have seen the judgments coming, and as such, will not understand what they mean, and will have the wrong interpretation of them. Their laws will affect and be directed at those following the true Christ the most, and the 144,000 will take the brunt of Babylon’s wrath.
Persecution and martyrdom will be common place, as this beast makes war on the saints and conquers them. Those living will be confronted with a reality they can no longer avoid: follow the beast and be eternally condemned, or listen to the 144,000 ‘Elijah’ people, and suffer persecution, imprisonment and/or execution. The greatest sin, listed in Revelation will be cowardice, as many will acquiesce due to fear of persecution and death, versus following the Commands of God and teachings of Jesus.
The make up of Babylon demonstrates that even Satan is under the law of ‘Sowing and Reaping’. Satan, the ultimate creature of deception, has sown doubts about God and His ways for eons. His beast, as a result will also demonstrate confusion and doubts, because in the end, a lie can never be the truth. But Babylon will be similar enough to the message of the 144,000 that many will worship the beast, because they don’t want to ‘split hairs’ and risk persecution or execution over it. However, what is not understood is that this decision will be the most important ever made, and have eternal ramifications.
The 144.000 will preach the true message of salvation, and God gives every opportunity for conversion and knowing the truth, as these people will have the authority and miracle working power given to Elijah, to demonstrate and back up their message. They will also have about 2.5 years of time to preach to the world before the appearance of Satan, and the world will have had time to take the seal of God, or reject it. The appearance of Satan in the fifth trumpet will complete this process, as everyone on earth will be forced into a decision after the sixth trumpet war and mark.
One final remark on the religious systems. Similar to the first Advent, there were Wise men from the east who inquired about the birth of the Christ. The Jewish authorities not only confirmed this event in scripture, but gave the location, Bethlehem. Interestingly enough, they did not even have enough curiosity to check it out for themselves, and demonstrated no faith in the scriptures they themselves claimed had great authority. It will be the same during the Second Advent. This information is knowable, and will be demonstrated clearly by the 144,000 when they appear, and like Christ before them, will suffer greatly at the hands of the religious system known as Babylon. Babylon will be made up of the same group of religious leaders who did not see this coming, but now claim to speak for God with great authority, and without having any real knowledge of what they have created and who is really behind it.

THE FIRST FOUR TRUMPETS
George Offerman
Following up with the previous article about Revelation, is a more detailed description than given in the first article. Babylon will be covered in its own posting as there needs to be a great deal of attention paid to this fierce one world government as it arises out of great judgment and suffering.
The period of Revelation opens up with a severe earthquake that is unlike any other experienced in history. It will be extremely severe, and not follow any geological pattern, and affect the whole earth either at once, or move from place to place. There will be accompanying signs in the heavens of a supernatural nature, as well as thunder and lightening. The duration of this earthquake could be a number of hours to a couple of days, and most likely will target very sinful cities and places needing cleansing. This event begins the great countdown of time, and Daniel tells us the number of days will be 1335.
The first trumpet will be a vast meteor shower mixed with fire, and affect all of the grass and 1/3 of the green vegetation. This will cause intense heat, coupled with smoke and soot, which will begin to block out light and cause oxygen problems for the living.
The second trumpet will be an asteroid plunging into an ocean. It is estimated that an asteroid one mile across could be traveling at close to 55,000 MPH, or basically 12 miles a second. It would definitely ‘light up’ as it passed through the atmosphere, and become a burning mountain. Scientists have predicted in models, that the tsunami could be as high as 5,000 feet and moving several thousand MPH as it strikes land. An Atlantic strike could send a wave in as far as Ohio before it would stop. This would also fulfill Jesus statement in Luke 21:25 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.”
The third trumpet will be a comet hitting a land mass and contaminating the inland springs and lakes, and killing those who drink the water. Whether this trumpet will add to the already growing fires and earthquakes due to the impacts will be seen.
The fourth trumpet will be a band of darkness caused by fires, and the possibility of huge volcanic eruptions from the earthquake and asteroid strike. Scientists have been discussing a ‘super’ volcano located in Yellowstone National park, and mentioned just that particular volcano going off would cover most of the plain states in 3-6 feet of ash, and it would take years fro the ash to settle out of the atmosphere. Either way, there will be a lot of darkness during this time.
It is a huge understatement to say that mankind will be dazed and overwhelmed by these trumpets, which will occur in quick succession, and one day will be cut off from the next, meaning the lifestyle as we know it is over, and we now enter survival mode. With one fourth of the population dead and really no way to take care of any of it, we will all be thinking about God and his judgments. Survival, as well as getting the judgments to stop will be first and foremost on everyone’s mind that is alive at that time. No one will be questioning who sent this, but there will be much confusion about how to deal with this, and questions as to why the religious leaders did not see this coming.
There will be a response, and it will be created by the dark powers who have been preparing for this moment. Man’s response to God and the judgment will be Babylon, or the beast rising out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns. This beast is to rule for 42 months, and will be unlike anything ever seen before, or ever again, and will go directly against what God wants from us, and what the 144,000 will be preaching.
