      [continued from previous message]              cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and       lightnings, and an earthquake.              The Trumpets              6 (Rev 8:2) Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets       prepared themselves to sound them.       7 (Rev 9:4; Eze 38:22; Rev 9:15) The first angel sounded,       and there followed hail and fire mixed with blood,       and they were thrown upon the earth.       A third of the trees and all the green grass were burned up.       8 (Jer 51:25; Ex 7:17-21) Then the second angel sounded,       and something like a great mountain, burning with fire,       was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea became blood,       9 (Isa 2:16; Rev 8:7) a third of the living creatures in the sea died,       and a third of the ships were destroyed.       10 (Isa 14:12; Rev 9:1) The third angel sounded, and a great star from heaven,       burning like a torch, fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs       of waters.       11 (Jer 9:15; 23:15) The name of this star is Wormwood. A third of the waters       became wormwood, and many men died from the waters,       because they were made bitter.       12 (Isa 13:10; Joel 2:10; 2:31) The fourth angel sounded,       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 them were darkened.       A third of the day had no light, and likewise a third of the night.       13 (Rev 11:14; 9:12; 14:6) Then I watched, and I heard an angel flying       through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice,       "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth,       because of the other trumpet blasts of the three angels, who are yet to sound!"              [6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to       sound.       [7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with       blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was       burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.       [8] And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning       with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;       [9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life,       died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.       [10] And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,       burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers,       and upon the fountains of waters;       [11] And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the       waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were       made bitter.       [12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was       smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so       as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third       part of it, and the night likewise.       [13] And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven,       saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by       reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet       to sound!              Revelation 9              1 (Rev 8:10; Lk 8:31; Rev 1:18) The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star       fallen from heaven to the earth. The star was given the key to the bottomless       pit.       2 (Ge 19:28; Joel 2:10) He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke ascended       from the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air       were darkened by the smoke from the pit.       3 (Eze 2:6; Rev 9:5) And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.       Power was given them as the scorpions of the earth have power.       4 (Rev 6:6; 8:7) They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth,       or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who did not have       the seal of God on their foreheads.       5 (Rev 9:10; 9:3) They were given authority, not to kill them,       but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like       the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man.       6 (Jer 8:3; Rev 6:16) In those days men will seek death but will not find it.       They will desire to die, but death will elude them.       7 (Da 7:8; Na 3:17) The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared       for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold,       and their faces were like faces of men.       8 (Joel 1:6) They had hair like the hair of women,       and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.       9 (Job 39:25) They had breastplates like breastplates of iron,       and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots       with many horses running to battle.       10 (Rev 9:5; 9:3) They had tails like scorpions and stings in their tails.       Their power was to hurt men for five months.       11 (Eph 2:2) They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit,       whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon.       (Or Destroyer.)       12 (Rev 11:14) The first woe is past. Now, two more woes are yet to come.       13 The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns       of the golden altar which is before God,       14 (Rev 16:12) saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,       "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River."       15 (Rev 8:7; 9:18) And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour       and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.       16 (Rev 7:4; Ps 68:17) The army of horsemen numbered two hundred million.       I heard their number. (Currently The People's Army of the Republic of China       has such a great number)       17 (Rev 9:18; 14:10) Thus I saw the horses in the vision: Those who sat       on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow.       The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their       mouths came fire and smoke and brimstone.       18 (Rev 9:15; 9:17) A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues-by       the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone,       which came out of their mouths.       19 The power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails.       For their tails are like serpents, with heads by which they inflict injury.       20 (Da 5:23; Dt 31:29) The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these       plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not cease       to worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood,       which cannot see nor hear nor walk.       21 (Rev 17:2; 17:5) Nor did they repent of their murders or their       magical arts or their sexual immorality or their thefts.              [1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the       earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.       [2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the       pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened       by reason of the smoke of the pit.       [3] And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them       was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.       [4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the       earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which       have not the seal of God in their foreheads.       [5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they       should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a       scorpion, when he striketh a man.       [6] And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall       desire to die, and death shall flee from them.       [7] And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto       battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces       were as the faces of men.       [8] And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the       teeth of lions.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
