We have come to believe that Jesus Christ our Lord is THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORD. We also believe according to the scriptures that our Lord has been given all Power by the Father to fulfil all the plan of God through the Ages.
The series II of this book from chapter 8 begins with plagues of the seven trumpets. The truth here is this, whilst many Theologians are propagating the doctrine of Pre-tribulation, Post-tribulation and Ammillennialism, the Bible makes it quite clear that the Plagues of the seven Trumpets shall be brought about by the prayers of the Saints. This means that at the revelation of the Antichrist in Era 4, shall be accompanied by the sounding of the Trumpets of the wrath of God because of the prayers of the Saints due to the tyranny of the Antichrist against the Saints. This of course is telling the believers that they will be on the Earth during the first 3 and a half years of the last 7 years of the completion of the God`s Plan of Salvation by our Lord.
Our Lord who is enthroned to reveal this plan of God through the seven seals was showing Apostle John in the Spirit all that will come to pass in this world to deliver the Saints and to punish all unbelievers. The plagues of the seven trumpets began with the opening of the seventh seal. This beginning of the outpouring of the plagues of the wrath of God is in line with the signs of time to help believers to know the time-table of God`s Plan. Also I believe as believers continue to peach the gospel of the water and the Spirit during this period those who wake up from their sleep should be able to open themselves to the mercy of our God and open their hearts to believe the gospel of the righteousness of God and be saved; because whosoever,shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. However, all believers will be on this Earth for the first six of the seven plagues that shall come upon the Earth.
THE PLAGUES OF THE TRUMPETS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES:-
First trumpet: hail and fire, mingled with blood thrown on the Earth. and a third of the trees burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Second Trumpet: a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Third Trumpet: a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch , it fell in a third of the rivers and on springs of water: The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Fourth Trumpet: a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon , and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
When we meditate on all these things that shall come upon the Earth we begin to realise that for those who are not walking by faith in the righteousness of God, for them life will be very turbulent with no peace in the heart. We the righteous however, will be protected
divinely because of our Faith in the righteousness of God by Jesus Christ. The four Plague are passed and three more to come which are worst than the first four.
The believers ought to be glad for the faith of the righteousness of God that battles. Believers will be here up to the sixth Plagues, and at the sounding of the seventh trumpet in Era 5, the resurrected Saints shall be ruptured to meet the Lord in the Air. However, it is possible that those who have not the faith of the righteousness of God in their hearts will not be strong enough spiritually to resist the Antichrist when the persecution of the Saints and the servants of God begin. It is possible that some brethren might even be betrayed by close friends or family members. It is so important to know that it shall be by the faith of the gospel of the water and the Spirit that the Holy Spirit will help us to truly defend the Faith of the righteousness of God by Jesus Christ.
After the first four plagues will come the last three plagues:-
Fifth Plague following the sounding of the fifth trumpet, an Angel with key to bottomless Pit, opened the bottomless Pit, and the smoke from the Pit darkened the Sun; also scorpions from the bottomless Pit whose king is Abaddon to torment all men for five months who did not have who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. However, these scorpions were commanded not to harm the grass of the Earth, or any green thing, or any tree. Men shall seek death from the torment of the scorpions, but will not die.
Sixth Trumpet sounded, authority was given to the Angel to release the four Angel bound at the great River Euphrates to kill men for a period of one year, one month, one day and one hour. The bible tells us that the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million. This number and the fall out from this war refers to the electronic war that will take place in the end times. This war will kill a third of mankind because of the fall out from modern weaponry. The rest of mankind will not repent from their murders, sorceries, sexual immorality or their thefts.
However, the Bible tells us that the Lord will seal 144000 Jews so that the are not hurt by the plagues. Does this leave the gentiles who are no different to the believing Jews? The believers of the gospel of the water and the Spirit are sealed with Holy Ghost, and are protected from the plagues because the Holy Ghost lives in our hearts. The believers of the gospel of the water and the Spirit walk in the bold faith that battles; the 144000 Jews are sealed because of God`s promise to Abraham.
Why then will the Lord bring about the plagues of the seven. We sometimes do not meditate on the love and the mercy of God towards the mankind. I believe the reason for this righteous acts of God is to save and have a great reaping of souls on the earth. The Lord I believe is to give men the last chance to hear the gospel of the water and the Spirit, to repent and turn from their unbelief.
I believe that the fulfilment of all the gifts of God is in His Power. It is my believe all those who would have heard the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and living during the great tribulation shall be greatly helped by the Holy Ghost to lead them to call upon the name of the Lord through faith in the righteousness of God by Jesus Christ who came by water and blood, not water only but water and blood.
Our duty now is to do all that the Lord by His Spirit will help us to do to spread this beautiful gospel to the ends of the earth in line with the great commission given by our Lord. Let us therefore be continually praying for the Lord by His Power to give us the boldness and to guide us to do the will of the Father. A-men.
