THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION
Revelation 8:1 And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour (THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION IS ABOUT TO START).
THERE IS SILENCE IN HEAVEN BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO CAST OUT SATAN AND HIS ANGELS (REV. 12)
8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
SEALS ARE NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, BUT THE TRUMPS ARE.
8:3 And another angel (8TH ANGEL) came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense (ESSENCE = SYMBOLIC THAT GOD HEARS OUR PRAYERS), that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints (HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS INDEED) upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
THE GOLDEN ALTAR...BEFORE THE THRONE = THE SMALL GOLDEN ALTAR OF THE TABERNACLE AND THE LARGER ONE OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE WERE BUT COPIES IN MINIATURE.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
SMOKE IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH "JUDGMENT", "OR THE PIT".
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
THE MINISTERS OF FIRE DELIVERING GOD'S WORD (PSALMS 104).
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE ANSWER OF THE PRAYERS.
8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
NUMBER #7 MEANS SPIRITUAL COMPLITNESS IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS.
TRUMPET = ACTION
8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood (THE FIRE CAME FROM THE ALTAR. IT'S GOD'S HAND. GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE ; HE DESTROYS EVIL, BUT WARMS THE HEARTS OF HIS SAINTS; HEBREWS 12:29), and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
TREES ARE SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE.
THE LOCUST APPEAR ON THE EARTH WHEN YOU HEAR "PEACE", AND WHEN THEY SEE THE NEW WORLD ORDER COME TO BE.
PEACE CRY BEGINS AT THIS MOMENT.
MAKE A NOTE OF ZECHARIAH 1.
8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain (NATION) burning with fire was cast into the sea (SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE, REV. 17:15): and the third part of the sea became blood (SYMBOLIC OF DECEPTION).
THIS IS ONE OF THE SIGNS MOSES USED UNTO PHARAOH.
8:9 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 (THE SHIP OF TARSUS, SYMBOLIC OF COMMERCIALISM).
8:10 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;
LAMP = SYMBOLIC OF LIGHT. IT SUPPOSE TO BRING KNOWLEDGE AND TRUTH, BUT NOT IN THIS CASE.
THE THIRD PART OF THE RIVERS = THIRD PART OF PEOPLE FOLLOWED SATAN IN THE FIRST EARTH AGE (AFTER HIS FALL FROM GRACE).
ONE THIRD OF GOD'S PEOPLE FOLLOWED HIM AFTER HIS FALL, THEREFORE, GOD DESTROYED THAT AGE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO DESTROY THOSE SOULS.
HE CREATED THE FLESH AGE TO GIVE THEM A CLEAN START. THEY COULD CHOOSE GOD OR SATAN. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY STILL CHOSE SATAN.
THIS IS WHY OUR WORLD IS SO WICKED.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FIRST AGE IS DOCUMENTED IN ISAIAH 45:18, PROVERBS 8:22-25, JEREMIAH 4:22-27, II PETER 3:5-10.
THERE IS AN ENTIRE AGE FROM GENESIS 1:1-2.
GEN. 1:2 STATES IN THE HEBREW THAT THE EARTH BECAME VOID (TOHU VA BOHU).
IT WAS SATAN'S FALL AND GOD DESTROYED IT.
8:11 And the name of the star is called "Wormwood (BITTERNESS IN THE GREEK = APSINTHOS): and the third part of the waters (PEOPLE) became wormwood (BITTER); and many men died (A SPIRITUAL DEATH) of the waters they were made bitter (THEY COULD NOT SEE THE TRUTH BECAUSE OF THE FALSE LIGHT. GOD EXPECTS US TO BE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WORD TO AVOID DECEPTION).
SATAN WANTS TO BE GOD (ISAIAH 14). HE THINKS BY GETTING AS MANY PEOPLE AS HE CAN BY HIS SIDE HE CAN DEFEAT GOD.
8:12 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 (CHILDREN OF GOD ; JOB 38); so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
IT SIMULATING THE APPEAR OF THE MESSIAH BUT IT'S NOT HIM.
GOD CREATED THE SUN, MOON, STARS FOR SIGNS.
WHEN CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED THE MOON WENT DARK (ECLIPSE).
8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel (EAGLE IN TEXTS = AETOS) frying 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 !"
THE LAST THREE WOES ARE TO THE EARTH, NOT HEAVEN.
THE BAD ONE IS ABOUT TO APPEAR.
GOD BLESS
