Good Morning “Woe, Woe, Woe Witnesses.” Today we are in Revelation 9 - which describes 2 of the last 3 trumpet judgments. The 7th or last Trumpet contains all the Bowl Judgments. These last 3 Trumpet judgments are so egregious they are described as woes.
“The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.”
Revelation 9:1 NIV
This star is likely Satan himself the Fallen Angel. He’s given the key to open the Abyss where the worst of the angles are chained. Most probably those from Genesis 6, Jude 6. They appear as Scorpions with power to inflict horrible pain, but limited in what they can do and who they can do it to. They are told not to harm those sealed with the spirit. For 5 months they torment. People will want to take their own lives but are kept from it during this time. They will reach every last person on earth - further reinforcing that they are demons.
The 6th Trumpet brings with it a demon hoard of 200,000,000 horsemen.
“A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.”
Revelation 9:18 NIV
Critics will often jump to accuse God of being less than loving in these moments, but consider this… this time is temporary. It is not an eternity. He is giving them a taste of Hell on earth, yet another opportunity to repent and save themselves an eternity of suffering. They will not.
“The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; ...”
Revelation 9:20 NIV
They will not repent of their false worship nor their continued sin.
God continues to extend His Grace even in these moments - multiple opportunities given for repentance. Why would anyone want to be separated from Him?
Love you all! Dig in! Know The Word and share it with those you know. How could we hate someone so much we wouldn’t tell them?
