And
Jehovah GOD saw that the evil, wretchedness and wickedness of mankind
was great in the earth, and that every imagination and everything
framed in his mind, of the purpose and thoughts of his feelings, and
heart was only evil, and his desires were wrong continually, every day.
And it repented the LORD Jehovah that He had made man on the
earth and it displeased, and grieved Him at His inner feelings and
heart. And the LORD Jehovah said, I will destroy, erase, strike and rub
out man whom I have created and prepared from the face of the earth;
both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it causes me to repent and reconsider that I have made them. For
yet in seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty
days and forty nights; and every living substance and thing that I have
made, will I destroy, erase, strike and rub out from off the face
of the earth. The earth also was corrupt and marred before the
exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; and the land of the earth
was full of injustice and unrighteous violence. And the exceeding great
and mighty God, the Judge; directed His view, to view and think upon
the land of the earth; and all flesh of mankind had corrupted and
spoiled His course of life and the way to walk upon the land of the
earth. And the exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; said unto
Noah; the process of the end of all flesh of mankind is come before my
face, for the land of the earth is filled with false injustice and
violence through them and behold, I will destroy, cast off, cause to perish and utterly waste them with the land of the earth. In
the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains,
springs and wells of the great abyss of surging water in the deep
broken up, and the windows and holes of heaven were opened. And the
rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And I will
establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any
more by the waters of a deluge and flood; neither shall there anymore
be a deluge and flood to destroy the earth. Genesis 6:5-7, 11-13; 7:4, 11-12; & 9:11.
Then the LORD caused it to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah an inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a burning, hot flaming fire from
the LORD Jehovah out of the sky of heaven; And He overthrew those
cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and
that which grew upon the ground. And Abraham got up early in the
morning to the place where he stood before the LORD Jehovah: And he
looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain,
and beheld, and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and vapor of the land went up as the fume and smoke of a smelting furnace. Genesis 19:24-25; & 19:27-28.
For the day of the LORD Jehovah
of hosts shall be upon every one that is arrogant, proud and
lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be abased,
humiliated and brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that
are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all
the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon
every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of
Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of
man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low:
and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols He shall
utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and
into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of
His majesty, when He rises to shake terribly the earth.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of
gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and
to the bats; To go into the caverns and clefts of the rocks as a
refuge, and onto the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD,
and for the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake mightily and terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:12-21.
In that day,
they shall growl, mourn and roar against them like the roaring of the
sea and if one look and consider attentively unto the land, behold,
darkness, death, destruction, misery and sorrow of anguish; trouble and tribulation; and the illumination of the
bright, clear day light is caused to be darkness, made dim and black,
as to hide in the sky of the heaven, as dropping at the horizon. Isaiah 5:30.
Make a boisterous and wailing howl; for the day of the LORD Jehovah
is near at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall
melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold
of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall
be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Lo and
behold, the day of the LORD Jehovah is coming, a burning and cruel anger; both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the country, the field, the wilderness and the land of the earth desolate: and He shall destroy the one accounted guilty as sinners thereof out of it. For
the stars of heaven and the constellations, even of Orion, thereof
shall not give their light: the sun rays from the east to the west will
be dark and hidden from view and the bright moon will not glitter,
illuminate or shine. And I will punish the world for their
evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance
of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the
terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man
than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore, I will shake with a violent tremble, the air of heaven and the land of the earth shall move in a smooth wavelike motion, it will increase and decrease, out of her local and general place
in the outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath of the Lord
Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of Armies and in the day of
His burning fierce rapid breathing passionate anger. Isaiah 13:6-13.
Behold, the LORD God Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One makes the land of the earth empty, and depopulates it, and annihilates it, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and
scatters by dashing in pieces and abroad the ones who dwell and settle
down on the land of the earth, the inhabitants thereof. And it shall
be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so
with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the
buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as
with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land of
the earth shall be utterly emptied, and depopulated, and utterly
plundered and spoiled: for the LORD God Jehovah, the Self-Existent,
Eternal One hath spoken and properly arranged this word. The earth
mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, and the
haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled
under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws,
changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath
the curse devoured and consumed the land of the earth, and they that
dwell therein are desolate and guilty to be punished and to perish: therefore the inhabitants of the land of the earth are burned, and few men remain.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the
earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who flees and escapes
from the noise and sound of the fear, alarm and terror shall fall into
the pit and snare as a catching for prey; and he who comes up out of
the midst of the pit shall be taken in the spring trap and snare: for
the windows from on high are open wide, and the foundations of
the ground and land of the earth do shake. The land and field of
the earth is utterly broken down into pieces, the ground and the land
of the earth is clean dissolved, it is moved and wavered, the earth is
shaken off course, it is moved exceedingly, falling down and shaken
violently. The earth shall reel and waver, to and fro, as in wavering
as being intoxicated and like a drunkard, and shall flee, waver and be
tossing like a hammock, be removed like a cottage; and the
transgression and rebellion and sin, thereof shall be heavy
and a severe burden upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise
again. And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One, shall visit to
punish the mass of those organized for war and the host of the high
and haughty ones that are in a lofty and elevated place, and the
kings of the earth upon the land of the earth. And they shall be
gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, a dungeon and
prison, and shall be shut up and fastened in the prison, and after many
days shall they be visited for punishment. Then the moon shall be
confounded and brought to confusion and the heat of the sun ashamed,
pale and delayed, when the LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal
One, of the Hosts of Armies shall take council to ascend to the
throne and begin His royal reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and
before his ancients in splendor, glory and honor. Isaiah 24:1-6 & 17-23.
Thou shall be visited by the Lord Jehovah of Hosts with
a peal of thunder, with earthquake and vibration, with fierceness,
shaking and vapor; and great noise, with whirlwind, storm and tempest
and the flash of bright, flaming, devouring, burning fire. Isaiah 29:6.
For
lo, I begin to bring evil and spoil on the guarded city which is called
by name and should ye be completely unpunished; ye shall be unpunished,
for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants, those who settle
down to dwell on the land of the earth and of the world, saith the Lord
Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of the Hosts of Armies.
Therefore, speak an inspiration of prophesy as a matter of cause and
against them all these words and say, the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One will mightily roar from on high and call
aloud with His voice from His sacred and holy abode and habitation; He
shall give an acclamation and shout as they that tread and walk though
to ambush the inhabitants and dwellers upon the land of the earth. A
noise and an uproar shall come even to the ends of the land of the
earth, for the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One has a
controversy and a strife with the nations of the Gentile people, the
foreign heathen; He will judge and pass sentence, vibrate and punish all flesh of mankind, He
will give them that are morally wrong, wicked and ungodly, to the
cutting instrument of a sword, declares by affirmation, the Lord
Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One. Thus says the Lord Jehovah,
the Self-Existent and Eternal One of the Host of Armies, Behold evil
and wretchedness shall go forth from the nations of the Gentiles, to
the nations of the Gentiles, a great tempest of a
whirlwind, and shall be raised up, and stirred up,
and awaken from the coasts, and boarders of the earth of the
world. And the slain of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent
and Eternal One shall be at that day, from one end of the land of the
earth, even unto the other end of the land of the earth, they shall not
be lamented or mourn, nor in any wise be buried, they shall be dung
upon the surface of the soil and ground of the earth. Jeremiah 25:29-33.
The
word of the LORD came again unto me, saying: son of a human being,
speak by inspiration in a prediction and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD,
Jehovah; Howl ye with a boisterous wailing tone, Woe and grief worth the day, For the day is near, even the day of the LORD Jehovah: is near, a day of clouds that cover the sky; a time of the nations of the Gentiles; the heathen. Ezekiel 30:1-3.
Therefore, son of a human being: speak an inspired prophesy and say unto Gog, the northern nation,
Thus says, the Lord, the Only God; In that day, when my people of
Israel dwell in a quiet, secure and feeling of safety, Will you not
know and be ascertain by seeing it? And thou shall come from the northern border, you and many people as a unit of troops,
with all of them riding and being dispatched upon horses, a great
assembly and multitude, an abundant and a mighty army of fierce and
strength. And thou shall come up and ascend as a trap against my people
of Israel, as a thunder cloud covering the sky to cover and overwhelm
the land. It shall be in the latter and future days
and I will bring thee against my land, that the foreign heathen,
Gentile people may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee O’ Gog, the northern nation,
before their eyes. Thus says the Lord, the Only God, Art thou he of
whom I have spoken in ancient time by my servants, the inspired men and
prophets of Israel which spoke by inspiration in those days, many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog, the northern nation, will
come against the land of Israel saith the Lord, the Only God, that my
anger and hot displeasure, fury and rage will come up into my face. For
in my jealousy and zeal, in the burning, hot flaming fire of my
outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath, have I spoken: For
certain, in that day, there shall be a great and insolent shaking and
uproar, a vibration and quaking in the land of Israel. So
that the fishes of the sea and the birds of the air of heaven and the
living creatures of the field and all reptiles, and any other rapid
moving animals that creep by moving upon the soil of the earth and all
human beings, that are upon the face of the soil of the earth,
will shake at my presence, and the mountains and range of hills shall
be broken into pieces, and the wall of protection will fall to the
ground. And I will call out for a cutting instrument of a
sword against all and throughout all my mountain range of hills and
country, Says the Lord, the Only God: every man’s cutting instrument of
a sword will be against his brother and kinsman. And I will judge for a
sentence to vindicate and punish against him, with a plague and
pestilence, with a substance like blood; and I will rain upon him and upon his army and crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit, that are with him, an over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain, and
a great weight of a peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery,
flaming fire and an inflammable, sulfur resin of brimstone.
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will be known in
the eyes of many a foreign, heathen, Gentile people and you will know
by ascertain by seeing, that I am the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent
and Eternal One. Ezekiel 38:14-23.
Sanctify
ye a fast, to call out a solemn assembly to a meeting, to gather the
elders and all the inhabitants, who settle and dwell on the land of the
earth, into the house of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and
Eternal One, your great and mighty God, the Judge; cry and shriek unto
the Lord Jehovah; Oh, oh, Alas, for the day of the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One is near at hand: as a destruction of violence and ravage of wasting, from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 1:14-15.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble with violent emotion and stand in awe: for the day of the LORD Jehovah
cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and misery, of
gloominess and misfortune, a day of clouds and lowering of the dark
thick sky, as the day dawns upon the mountains: a great people,
numerous and strong; there hath not been anything like this, neither
shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A hot, fiery, flame devours and consumes them; and behind them a spearing flame is set on a flaming blaze:
the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a
desolate, devastation and wasted wilderness; yea, and nothing shall
escape it. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and
as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops
of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that
devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before
their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather
blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall
like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they
shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they
shall walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword,
they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they
shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they
shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake and quiver with a violent rage, shake and tremble before them;
the air of the heavens shall tremble and move: the sun rays in the arch
of the sky, from the east, to the west and the moon shall be an ashy
dark color; and the stars shall withdraw and remove their clear
brilliant shining: And the LORD shall thunder forth His voice before
His army: for His encampment is very exceeding great: for He is mighty
and strong to execute His word: for the day of the LORD Jehovah is very great and very terrible, to be feared; and who can endure and bear it? Joel 2:1-11.
And I will show a token, a
sign and wonders in the air of the heavens, in the visible arch of the
sky, where the clouds move; and in the field, in the ground, in the
wilderness and throughout all the land of the earth; it will have the appearance of blood along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns and pillars of clouds, of angry dust, smoke and vapor.
The brilliant sunrays in the arch of the sky, from the rising of the
sun in the east, to the setting of the sun westward will be changed and
turned over to the darkness of night and the moon will take on the
appearance of blood, before the great and notable, the fearful, the
terrible and dreadful day of the LORD Jehovah, the self-Existing, the Eternal One comes. Joel 2:30-31
Proclaim
ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let
all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares
into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am
strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather
yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come
down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of
Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for
the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD Jehovah
is near at hand, in the valley of decision and destruction. The arch of
the sunrays from the rising in the east, to the setting in the west and
the moon shall be ashy dark and the gazing of the stars shall withdraw
their bright shining. The LORD Jehovah also shall mightily roar and
rumble out of Zion; and give forth His voice from Jerusalem; and the
air of the heavens and the field, the country, the wilderness and the land of the earth shall shake and tremble: but
the LORD Jehovah will be the shelter of hope of His people and the
strength and fortress of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that
I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall
Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any
more. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall
drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the
rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth
of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt
shall be desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the
violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent
blood in their land. But Judah shall dwell forever and Jerusalem from
generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have
not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. Joel 3:9-21.
Alas, O’ Woe unto you that desire and wish to know the day of the LORD! To what purpose and to what end is it for you? The day of the LORD Jehovah
is darkness and obscurity and not bright nor light. As if a man did
flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and
leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD Jehovah
be darkness and not one of illumination, bright and clear? Even very
dark and dusky; with no brightness or clear shinning in it? Amos 5:18-20.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun rays in the arch of
the sky, from the rising of the sun in the east to the setting in the
west, to go down at noon, midday and become a dual, double light and I
will withhold the light and cause darkness on the earth in the clear,
bright, illumination of the day. Amos 8:9.
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD
is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his
guests. And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice
that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such
as are clothed with strange apparel. In the same day also will I punish
all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses
with violence and deceit. And it shall come to pass in that day,
saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish
gate, and a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the
hills. Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are
cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. And it shall come to
pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with
candles, and punish the men that are settled on their preserved things:
that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do
evil. Therefore their goods shall become booty and their houses
desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and
they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. The great day of the LORD Jehovah is near, it is near, and is coming exceeding quickly and swiftly, even the voice of the day of the LORD Jehovah:
the mighty man shall cry in a shrill of tone, there with discontent and
great bitterness. That day, is a day of anger, rage and wrath, a day of
adversity, affliction, anguish, distress, tribulation and trouble; a
day of wastefulness, devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and
gloominess, a day of clouds and thick black darkness covering the sky;
A day of the trumpet and giving a clear sound, an alarm against the
fenced and fortified cities, and against the high towers and
battlements. And I will bring distress upon human beings that they
shall walk like a blind person, because they have sinned against the
LORD Jehovah: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and the
flesh of their bodies as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD Jehovah’s outburst of anger, rage and wrath; but the whole land shall be burned, devoured and consumed
by the hot fiery flame of His jealousy: for He shall make a speedy and
complete destruction and riddance of all the inhabitants of the
land. Zephaniah 1:7-18.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah of the Hosts of Armies; Yet once in a little while, very soon, I
will shake the air of the heavens and the country, the ground, the
wilderness, the field and the land of the earth and the sea, the dry
and the desert land. Haggai 2:6.
Behold, the day of the LORD Jehovah
comes, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will
gather all heathen, Gentile nations against Jerusalem to battle and
war; and the city shall be captured, occupied and taken, and the houses
rifled, plundered and spoiled; and the women will be defiled and
ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity and exile,
and the residue and remainder of the people shall not be cut off or
consumed, nor destroyed from the city. Then shall the
LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in
the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day, upon the mount
of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of
Olives shall be divided, cleave and split in the middle, into two
parts, toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very
great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north
and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the
mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea,
ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days
of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the
saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the illumination of the day light, shall not be clear with brightness,
nor settled dark: But it shall be one unique day, which shall be known
to the LORD Jehovah, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass,
that at dusk of the evening time, there will be illumination of light.
And it shall be in that day, that living, running spring water, shall
go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of
them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And
the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one. All
the land shall be turned as a plain, as the Arabah desert from Geba to
Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in
her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto
the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's
winepresses, where the grapes are crushed. And men shall dwell
in it, and there shall be no more curse or physical destruction; but
Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. And this shall be the plague
wherewith the LORD will smite and slay all the people, that have
assembled and fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh
shall consume away and melt, while they stand upon their feet, and
their eyes shall consume away and melt in their holes, and their tongue
shall consume away and melt in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day,
that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall
lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor and his hand shall rise
up against the hand of his neighbor. And Judah also shall fight at
Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about, shall be
gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and
of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this
plague. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all
the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to
year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles. And it shall be that whoso will not come up of all the
families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of
hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go
not up, and come not, that have no rain; that shall be the plague,
wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the
feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the
punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of
tabernacles. In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like
the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah
shall be holiness unto the LORD of Hosts: and all they that sacrifice
shall come and take of them, and see therein: and in that day there
shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of Hosts. Zechariah 14:1-21.
For, behold, the day shall come, it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot and an oven; and all the arrogant and proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be as stubble: and the day that comes, shall burn and set them ablaze with a flaming fire, saith the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root or branch. Malachi 4:1.
The Disciples Asked The Lord Three Questions
And
Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and His disciples came to
[Him] for to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto
them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall
not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:1-3.
Tell us,
when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign when all these
things shall be fulfilled? Mark 13:4 And they
asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? And what
sign [will there be] when these things shall come to pass? Luke 21:7
The disciples asked the Lord three questions:
1. When will the destruction of the temple take place?
2. What will be the sign of your coming {as the bodily Messiah}?
3. What will be the sign of the end of the world?

What will be the sign and token to indicate and signify, when these
predictions and events are about to take place, to be accomplished and
fulfilled, come to pass and happen; regarding the coming and bodily
presence of your return?
#3. And of the entire, full, completed and specific period of time, of the end of the age and of the end of the world?
The Answer To The 2nd And 3rd Questions
For
the Gentile nations, the heathen and pagan people, will rise and move
up against and among one another bordering nations and kingdom against
kingdom, one place of reign touching another; and there shall be
famines, a lack of food, causing destitution for people being without
food; and pestilences, a plague of diseases; and a shaking of
the ground, causing it to tremble, shake sideways, back and forth, for
the earth will be shaking in divers or various places, down through
its’ distribution with intensity, in many locations. But all these are the beginning, of the grief, the first of the troubles, sorrows, of the birth pains and travail. Matthew 24:7-8.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earth-shocks, earthquakes in divers or different and various places; and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows, like the early pains of childbirth. Mark 13:8.
For in those days shall be affliction, anguish, burden, tribulation and trouble, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created, unto this time and never shall be. Mark 13:19.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise up against and be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earth-shocks, great earthquakes and great shaking shall be in every divers and different places; and famines, people without food; and an outburst of disease and pestilences; and there will be great signs of terror and fearful sights from heaven. Luke 21:10-11.

After The Tribulation Period - The Son Of Man Coming In The Clouds
The Lord Jesus Christ will Return at the end of The Great Tribulation Period, in a single massive cloud of "Volcanic Ash," which will encircle the entire planet earth. It will be caused by the thousands of erupting volcanoes and perhaps in addition to some "Super Volcanoes." It will take several years to build this cloud, in which the Lord will pass through, upon His return to the earth.

I saw in the night visions and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven
and came up, even unto the Ancient of days and they brought Him near
before Him. And there was given Him dominion and glory and a kingdom
that all people, nations and languages, should serve Him: His dominion
is an everlasting and age-enduring dominion, which shall not pass away
and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, nor brought to ruin.
Daniel 7:13-14.
And immediately and straightway, after the pressure and anguish; the tribulation of
those days, the light of the sun will be obscure and darkened; and the
moon shall not give her brilliant light; and the stars shall fall
from the sky of heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken
and stirred up; and then shall appear, the sign and token of the Son of
man in the sky of heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the
earth mourn and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky of heaven
with force and power; and abundant, great glory, dignity, praise and
honor. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and
they shall gather and collect in the same place, together His elect,
chosen and selected ones, from the four winds, from one end and extreme
of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:29-31.
But in those days, after that affliction, anguish, burden, trouble and tribulation,
the light of the sun from the east shall be darkened and obscured; and
the moon shall not give her brilliant light; and the stars of the
extension of the sky of heaven shall be falling; and the powers that
are in the sky of heaven shall be shaken, disturbed and stirred up. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with
abundant, great power and glory. And then shall He send His angels and
shall gather together and collect in the same place, His chosen and His
elect from the four winds, from the extreme uttermost part of the
earth, to the extreme uttermost part of heaven. Mark 13:24-27.
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of the sky of heaven. Mark 14:62.
And there shall be signs, tokens and wonders in the light of the sun; and in the moon; and in the constellation of the stars; and
upon the whole earth anguish, anxiety and distress of nations, with a
state of perplexity and mental loss; standing in doubtful confusion as
what to do, being in a bewilderment, having no way out; because of the
loud roaring of the sea and the waves being in a roaring vibration; men’s hearts failing them for fear and having an apprehension, an expectation and an arrival; looking after those things which are coming on the land of the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be moved and shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and abundant, great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then raise, look up and
lift up your heads; for on this account, your deliverance and full
redemption approaches and is drawing near. Luke 21:25-28.

And when He had spoken these things, while they were beholding, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
And while they looked steadfastly and were gazing intently into the sky
of heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white
apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand gazing and
looking up into the sky of heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken
up from you into the sky of heaven, shall so come in like fashion and
manner, as ye have seen Him go into the sky of heaven.
Acts 1:9-11.
And
from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful and trustworthy witness and the
first begotten and firstborn of the dead and the first prince of the
kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us and exclusively washed us
from our sins and offences in His own blood; and hath made us kings,
with a realm and kingdom to reign and priests unto God and His Father;
to Him be glory, honor, praise, worship and vigor dominion, power and
strength forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. Amen. Lo and Behold, He comes with clouds;
and every eye shall see Him and they also which pierced Him: and all
kindred’s of the earth shall lament, mourn, beat the breast in grief
and wail because of Him. Even so, Amen, Yes, Surely and True. I who
Exist; am, Alpha, the first and Omega, the last and finality; the
beginning and the ending, says the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority,
who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty, the All-Ruling,
Omnipotent, Absolute and Universal Sovereign. Revelation 1:5-8.
As The Days Of Noah & The Coming Of The Son Of Man
But
even as, exactly like and just as the days of the patriarch Noah, after
and in this manner and fashion, will be also and even the parousia; the
coming near and aspect in the physical presence of the Son of Man. Even
as, exactly like and just as, in the days that were before the
inundation of the flood, they were eating and drinking; marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day the patriarch Noah entered into the
ark and knew not, until the inundation of the flood came and took them
all away; so also, in this manner will be, the parousia; the coming near and aspect in the physical presence of the Son of Man. Matthew 24:37-39.
And
just inasmuch, according to, even as it was in the days of the
patriarch Noah, after that in this like manner, on this fashion, so
shall it be, in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank,
they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that the
patriarch Noah entered into the ark and the inundation of the flood
came and fully destroyed them all. Likewise, similar and also, in that
manner as it was in the day of the patriarch Lot, they did eat, they
drank, they bought in the market place, they sold and bartered, they
planted in the earth, they were house-builders. But, moreover, the same
day that the patriarch Lot went out of Sodom, it rained a lightning fiery fire and a sulfurous brimstone, from the sky of heaven and destroyed, and caused them all to perish. Even
like and even thus, in the same way and manner, shall it be, in the day
when the Son of Man is disclosed and revealed. Luke 17:26-30.
Watch Ye Therefore
Watch
and be vigilant to be awake, therefore and accordingly, for you do not
know what instant the hour of time your Lord, the One in Supreme
Authority, the Master will appear and come. But know this, that if the
head of the family, the master of the house, had known what manner of
being on watch or guard, the thief and stealer would come, he would
have kept a vigilant watchfulness and would not have permitted or left
home, and suffered his house and home to be broken into and
burglarized. Therefore, you be ready, prepared and adjusted, for in an
hour of time as you seem not to think and to give account, the Son of
Man appears and comes. Matthew 24:42-44.
Watch,
keep awake and be vigilant, therefore and accordingly, for you do not
know when the Master, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and
Lord of the house and home comes, at evening, the close of the day, or
at midnight, or at the third watch of the cock crowing, or in the dawn,
the day-break of the morning. Lest coming suddenly and unexpectedly, He
finds you sleeping and lying down to rest. And what I say and put forth
to you, I say unto all, even and the whole; to keep awake, be vigilant
and watchful. Mark 13:35-37.
And
take heed, beware and have regard to yourselves, lest or perhaps at any
time, your heart, your thoughts and feelings be overcharged, pressed
and weighted down with a seizure of pain of a headache, from a
drunkenness of intoxication and from the care of this present life
existence; so that day come upon you unexpected, suddenly and unawares.
For in the manner, as a fastened trap and a tricked snare, shall it
come on all them that dwell, reside and remain on the surface of the
land, of the whole earth. Watch, keep awake, therefore and accordingly,
pray, petition and make a request and beg as for oneself, always at
every occasion and time, that you may be accounted, deemed entirely
deserving and worthy, to escape and flee from all these things, that
shall come to pass and to stand in front of, before, in the sight and
presence of the Son of Man. Luke 21:34-36.
The Day Of The Lord
And
I will bring forth a rare event, so extraordinary, it will inspire
wonder; for it will be in the elevated area of the sky, in heaven above
and a token and sign of these events will be throughout the
entire regions under the surface of the soil, of all the land of the
world, in the earth beneath; for it will be a visible wonder of flowing substance like blood and of flashes of lightning and fire, with a mist of vapor of smoke:
The rising of the sun in the east and the rays of light, will become as
an outlining shadow and shall be turned into darkness, and the bright
shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color; before that great,
mighty and notable, visible day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority will come: Acts 2:19-20.

The Last Trumpet Of God
Lo!
Behold and See, I show you a silent mystery and secret; We shall not
all sleep or slumber, but we all, everyone, shall be changed and made
different. In a moment, in an indivisible atom of time, in the instant
and twinkling jerk of the eye, at a side glance; at
the farthest and final, latter and last, the ends of and the latter end
of the uttermost, at the sound of the blast of a trumpet; for
this reason, the dead shall be raised and aroused to be wakened to an
un-decaying essence and an incorruptible immortality and we all shall
be changed and made different. I Corinthians 15:51-52.
For
the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master,
Himself, shall descend from heaven with a shout and a cry of
incitement, with the tone of voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of the very exceeding God and the dead in Christ, the Anointed, shall rise first. Then
and afterwards, we who are alive and remain, and survive; at the same
time shall be seized; catch away and caught up; plucked and pulled;
taken by force, abruptly and hastily, with suddenness and quickness;
together with them in the clouds to meet, with a claim for oneself,
with a friendly encounter, the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the
Controller and Master, in the blowing air and so shall we ever more and
always be with the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller
and Master. Wherefore and thus therefore, call near to comfort one another with these words of reasoning and subject of thought. I Thessalonians 4:16-18.
The Lord Will Come As A Thief In The Night
But
concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I
write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly, full well and
thoroughly, that the day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority
will come as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace,
quietness and safety with security; then suddenly and unexpectedly, destruction will come upon them, as travail and birth pains upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of
the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not
sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep
sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of
faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath
not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ; Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with Him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one
another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11.
This
second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up
your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the
words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the
commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior: Knowing this
first, that there shall come in the last days
scoffers, walking after their own lusts; And saying, Where is the
promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of
old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby
the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the
heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with
the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord
is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and roar,
and the elements shall be destroyed and melt with fervent heat; the
earth also, and the labors, and works that are therein shall be burned
up and completely consumed. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved and destroyed, What
manner of persons ought ye to be living in holy and sacred behavior and
godliness; awaiting, anticipating and looking for with speed, earnestly
awaiting and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, destroyed, and the elements shall burn and melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. II Peter 3:1-13.
The 6th Seal - The Wrath Of The Lamb
The 6th Seal: [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal; and, lo, behold, there was a great, mighty and large earthquake and a commotion of the ground; and the light of the sun, from the rising in the east, became black as the garments of sackcloth made of hair, and the whole disc of the moon became in the manner and similar to blood;
[13] And the stars, stretching over the sky of heaven, fell on the
regions of the earth, in the manner as a fig tree drops her unripe and
untimely figs, when she is being shaken of a great and mighty gale of
wind. [14] And the sky of heaven rent apart, departed and separated as
a writing scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain as
being lifted above the plain; and every isle and island were moved in
motion out of their original places. [15] And the kings of the earth,
and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid and concealed
themselves in the dens, caves and caverns of the masses of the rocks of
the mountains, being lifted above the plain; [16] And said to the
mountains, being lifted above the plain and masses of rocks, Fall down
upon us, and hide with a covering to keep us in secret from the face of
Him who is seated upon the throne, and from the violent passion and
justifiable wrath of the Lamb: [17] For the great and mighty day of His
violent passion and abhorrence, anger and justifiable wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand? [Revelation 6:12-17].
The Seven Trumpets And The Seven Vials Of The Wrath Of God
1st Trumpet: The first angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there followed hail and a fire mixed and mingled with a blood-like substance and they were cast and poured upon the earth: and the third part of the trees were burned down and completely burnt up; and all green herbage, grass and vegetation were completely consumed and burned down to the ground. [Rev. 8:7].

the first went, and poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the
whole land of the earth; and there came to be, an ulcer and sore that
draws together which was injurious, malignant, hurtful and a painful
disease; upon human beings, who had the mark as a badge of servitude of
the beast and upon them who prostrate themselves, to do reverence, to
adore and to worship his image. [Rev. 16:2].
********************
2nd Trumpet: And
the second angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and it was in a manner
as it were a great mountain being lifted above the plain, set on fire, burning and consuming, was
cast and thrown with intense violence into the sea: and the third part
of the sea became as similar to blood; And the third part of the
created things which were in the sea, and had life, began to die off;
and the third part of the shipping vessels were destroyed. [Rev. 8:8-9].

the sky of heaven, burning as set on fire, as if it were a lamp or
torch and it fell down upon the third part of the streams and rivers
and upon the fountains, that is, the supply of waters; And the name and
character of the star is called Wormwood or a calamity of bitterness;
and the third part of the rainy waters became wormwood or a calamity of
bitterness; and an abundant and a great many human beings began to die
off, because of the rainy waters, because they were made bitter.

This
trumpet indicates, a Comet will be on a direct course to the earth...
Humanity will be able to see the comet before it hits the earth. As the
Comet hits the earth's atmosphere, the dust particles will appear to be
falling stars and the poison within the comet will be mixed into
the clouds, falling with the rain. It will probably fall on the
Old World countries of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Northern
Africa, or one third of the earth.

4th Trumpet: And
the fourth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and the third part of
the light, as the eastern sun, was inflicted and smitten in a calamity;
and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, as
stretching across the sky; so as a result, the third part of them was
darkened and obscure; and the day did not shine for a third part of it,
and the night likewise in a similar manner. [Rev. 8:12].

scorched with a great and mighty burning, glowing heat; and they began
to blaspheme and speak evil and defame, the name of the very exceeding
great God; who has the authority, mastery and power over this stroke of
a calamity and these plagues: and they did not repent or think
differently or reconsider to give Him glory, honor and worshipful
praise. [Rev. 16:8-9].

Woe, Woe, Woe Unto The Inhabitants Of The Earth
The 1st Woe!!!
Revelation 8: [13] And
I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying
with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by
reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which
are yet to sound!
This is a link:
5th Trumpet: [1]
And the fifth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and I saw a star
fall down from the sky of heaven unto the earth: and to him was given
the key to the lock of the depthless abyss, the infernal deep and the
bottomless pit. [2] And he opened up the holes in the ground,
the cisterns and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke
out of the bottomless pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground; in the manner as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace;
and the sunlight as rising in the east and the blowing air from its’
original place was darkened from the smoke of the holes in the ground,
the cisterns, the wells, the abyss and the pit. [3] And there
came out, and escaped, and spread abroad from the smoke, locusts upon
the whole ground, land and regions of the earth: and unto them was
given authority, liberty, mastery and power, in the manner of scorpions
of the earth with a sting, which have power, force and strength. [4]
And it was commanded them that, they should not hurt or injure the
grass or herbage and vegetation of the earth, neither any greenish
thing, neither any tree; but only those human beings who have not the
true seal of protection, of the very exceeding God, in their foreheads.
[5] And to them it was commanded and given them, that they should not
outright destroy and kill or slay them, but for the intent and purpose
to torture, cause pain and vex them, that they should be tormented five
months: and their torment was in the manner as the torment of a
stinging scorpion, when a scorpion hits and strikes, to sting a human
being. [6] And in those days shall human beings seek death, and shall
not be able to find it; and shall desire to obtain to die and being
able to die off, or be slain and death shall escape, flee and vanish
from them. [7] And the shapes and resemblance of the locusts, were like
the manner unto horses ready and prepared unto battle or a series of
warfare; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their
faces were as the faces of human beings. [8] And they had hair, as the
hair of women, and their teeth were as the same manner as the teeth of
lions. [9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron;
and the sounding tone of their wings, was as the sound of chariots of a
great many horses running with hast to battle or a series of warfare.
[10] And they had tails in the like manner, unto a stinging scorpion
and they had stinging, pricking tails: and their force, mastery and
power were to hurt and injure human beings for five months. [11] And
they had a king over them, which is the angel of the depthless,
infernal abyss, the deep bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew
tongue, is Abaddon, that is, a destroying angel; but in the Greek
tongue, his name is Apollyon; a destroyer. [12] One woe is past;
and, lo, behold, there come two woes more, hereafter. [Revelation 9:1-12].
For a
description of these demonic beings, which escape from the interior of
the earth and torment the "spiritually lost of humanity" for the
last five months of The Great Tribulation Period, click on the
following link:
The bottomless pit is the interior of the earth. These Scripture are links. Just click on them for more information.
When the “fifth angel sounds” the “fifth trumpet,” he is given “the key” which opens the “bottomless pit.” The “bottomless pit”
is the interior of the earth. The only way to open into the interior of
the earth is to open the surface of the earth’s crust. Upon the surface
of the earth, there are volcanic vents. When there remains “five months”
before the end of the Great Tribulation Period, this angel is given
authority from God to open these pathways beneath the surface, where
certain demonic beings dwell. From this study, it is possible to
determine, these demons have made an appearance upon the earths’
surface in ancient times and now, from the
hundreds, perhaps even several thousand erupting
volcanoes, they will escape from the bottomless pit along the earth’s
tectonic boundaries, from these volcanic vents for the sole purpose of
tormenting lost humanity. The saved will be present during this fifth
trumpet (1st woe) and the sixth trumpet (2nd woe); until the seventh trumpet (3rd woe) sounds, which announces the Rapture of all the saved from the earth.
These demons are from the group associated with Michael the archangel, while they were still perfect. After their fall, they became "evil" spiritual beings, called demons. They will cause the earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth, in order to torment and destroy humanity.

5th Vial: And
the fifth angel poured forth his broad shallow cup and vial upon the
seat of power of the beast; and his kingdom and realm of rule was
obscured, blind and full of darkness; and they chewed and gnawed their
tongues because of the anguish and pain; And blasphemed and spoke evil,
to defame the very exceeding God of the abode of heaven, because
of their anguish, and pain, and their ulcerous sores, and did not
repent or think differently, nor reconsider, because of their
acts, deeds and labors. [Rev. 16:10-11].

The 2nd Woe!!!
Revelation 9: [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
This is a link:
6th Trumpet: [13]
And the sixth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar and place of sacrifice
which is before the very exceeding God, [14] Saying to the sixth
angel which had the trumpet, Unloose the four angels which are in
bonds, in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were
unloosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and
a year, for to slay, to kill outright and destroy the third part of
human beings. [16] And the number of the army of the horsemen was two
hundred thousand thousand; that is, two hundred million: and I heard
the number of them. [17] And thus, I saw the horses in the inspired
appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest and breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a sulfurous brimstone.
[18] By these three was the stroke, calamity and plague that caused the
third part of human beings to be outright killed and slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the yellow sulfurous like-brimstone,
which proceeded out of their mouths. [19] For their power and force is
in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were in the like
manner and similar to a malicious snake or serpent, and had heads, and
with them they do hurt and injure. [20] And the rest and remaining of
the human beings which were not killed and slain by these strokes of
calamity and plagues, yet repented not, nor reconsidered their
thoughts, to think differently of the work and labor of their hands,
that they should not and in no wise fall down to pay homage, give
reverence, adore and worship demonic beings, as a deity and an
image of an idol of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither repented
they of their murders, nor of their sorcery and witchcraft, nor of
their harlotry and fornication, nor of their thefts. [Revelation 9:13-21].
It is a possibility, this 6th trumpet occurs a few months before the Rapture of the saved, since the previous 5th
trumpet may indicate the remaining 5 months of a Biblical 30 day
period to the end of the Great Tribulation Period, including the 45
days of the Wrath of God (the seven vials). Therefore, the 5th trumpet
is 150 days in length, minus the 45 days during the Wrath of God (the
seven vials) and if the 7th trumpet (the Rapture occurs on the blowing of the 7th or last trump) is proportional at 35 days, it leaves 70 days in which the saved will still be on the earth during this 6th
trumpet event. The events detailing the drying up of the Euphrates
River occurs after the Rapture and a few weeks before the end of the
Great Tribulation Period.
These riders upon the horses are "spirits" associated with the angel Gabriel while they were still perfect. After their fall, they are called "demons." The horses are "spirits" associated with the angel Lucifer while they were still perfect. After the fall, they are called "demons." These two groups of demonic beings are working together to use the earth, by way of shifting the earth's crust to produce earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to destroy humanity upon it... There are presently about 6,793,622,290 people upon the earth... and increases almost 9,000 an hour.. (01/01/2010)
This is a Link: U.S. & World Population Clocks After The Great Tribulation Period there may far less than 1 billion people who will still be alive to enter into the 1,000 year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
From the previous trumpet, we learn the pathway to the “bottomless pit”
has been opened, which are volcanic vents, leading downward into the
earths’ interior and has allowed certain warrior type demonic beings to
escape and roam freely upon the earth for the purpose of tormenting the
spiritual lost for the remaining five months before the end of the
Great Tribulation Period. The 5th trumpet is a worldwide event, while the 6th trumpet is a local event, because it is related to the “great river Euphrates” with the primary fact “and the water thereof was dried up,” as
indicated on the 6th Vial. Even though the headwaters of the Euphrates
River begin in the mountains of Turkey, the true force of the river
flows through Syria and Iraq. To better define the statement, “and the water thereof was dried up,” it would be logical to ask the question, “Where did the water go?”
In order for the waters of the Euphrates River to dry up as it flows
through Syria and Iraq, there must have been something happen to the
headwaters system. As long as the rain falls from the sky, it has to
flow somewhere on a downward path. The simplest way to dry up any water
path, such as a creek, stream or river, is to change or divert the path
it has been flowing. The main emphasis of the Great Tribulation Period
has been “EARTHQUAKES” and the local or worldwide
effect. The counties of Turkey, Lebanon and Israel have had many
large earthquakes in the past. When this sixth angel pours out the vial
of wrath upon the Euphrates River, the effect will cause a collapse of
the underling layers of rock strata south of the rivers’ headwaters and
it will be diverted from its’ present southeast flow through Syria,
Iraq and into the Persian Gulf to a southwest direction through Syria,
Lebanon and Israel, into the Jordan River and finally into the Gulf of
Aqaba and the Red Sea.
When
the Euphrates River is diverted southwest through the collapsed
Palmyride folds, caused by the earthquake activity in the area, the
Euphrates River will begin flowing into the Jordan River. This great
river will flow west into the Mediterranean Sea and south into the Gulf
of Aqaba. This river is described in the vision of Ezekiel, concerning
the geological changes in the land of Israel during the Millennial
Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6th Vial: And
the sixth angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the
great river Euphrates; and the running water thereof was dried up; that
the way, journey and route of the kings of the eastern rising of
the sun, might be prepared and made ready. And he gathered,
collected and led them together into a place for a purpose, called in
the Hebrew tongue Armageddon or Har-Meggiddon, that is, Megiddo. [Rev. 16:12&16].
When the Islamic - (Arab) - (Antichrist) - leader, along with the
ten Arab confederation of nations and the other Eurasian nations who
respond to his call for the Battle of Armageddon, it will
be getting near the time in which the Lord will return as
King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Lord will cause the Mount of
Olives to split in two and the western section of Jerusalem will be
lifted, exposing a newly formed spring. This will be the spring in
which the Prophet Ezekiel mentions and will flow east to connect with
the Jordan River, which has been increased to a great river, because
the Euphrates River has been diverted to form this single mighty river.
Ezekiel 47: [1]
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold,
waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for
the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came
down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of
the altar. [2] Then brought he me out of the way of
the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter
gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out
waters on the right side. [3] And when the man that
had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand
cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the
ankles. [4] Again he measured a thousand, and brought
me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured
a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. [5] Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. [6] And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. [7] Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. [8]
Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country,
and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought
forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. [9]
And it shall come to pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth,
whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a
very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither:
for they shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river
cometh. [10] And it shall come to pass, that the
fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they
shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to
their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. [11] But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. [12]
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side,
shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall
the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according
to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary:
and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for
medicine.
Zechariah 14: [1] Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2]
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city
shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half
of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the
people shall not be cut off from the city. [3] Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [4]
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is
before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in
the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall
be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward
the north, and half of it toward the south. [5] And ye
shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the
mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled
from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the
LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. [6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: [7]
But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor
night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be
light. [8] And it shall be in that day, that living
waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea,
and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall
it be. [9] And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. [10]
All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of
Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from
Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate,
and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
After all the geological changes have occurred, resulting in the
diverted Euphrates River and the new spring from Jerusalem, the Jordan
River will begin to flow out of the Dead Sea into the Gulf of Aqaba.
The Sinai Peninsula will be pushed into the African continent allowing
this new river to flow freely. The Sinai Peninsula is “the tongue of the Egyptian sea.” The
earthquake that occurs when the Mount of Olives splits in half will
cause the southern section of the Dead Sea Fault Zone to also split
apart and/or possibly subside, allowing the Jordan River to flow south
into the Gulf of Aqaba and finally into the Red Sea.
Isaiah 11: [15]
And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and
with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall
smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry-shod. [16]
And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall
be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came
up out of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 47: [10] And
it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from
En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth
nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the
great sea, exceeding many.
When the Euphrates River, the Jordan River and Ezekiel’s spring combine
their water sources, in addition to hundreds, perhaps thousands of
newly formed springs, along with the transformation of the southern end
of the Dead Sea Fault Zone, the “New River” will
be able to support an abundance of freshwater fish for the 1,000 years
in which Israel will become the breadbasket of the world.

The 3rd Woe!!!
Revelation 11: [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
This is a link:
There is a very important question in which we should ask? Is this 7th
trumpet, the last trump as was mentioned by the Apostle Paul concerning
the “Rapture” of the saved? It would seem like “common sense”, to
assume if there was a “last trump,” then there must be trumpets which
have already sounded. Therefore, with just basic “common sense”, how
about making a simple determination: The “Rapture” of the saved will be
on the “last trump or the seventh trumpet of the seven angels.”
Revelation 8: [1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8: [6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded;
I Corinthians 15: [51] Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
I Thessalonians 4: [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
What can we learn from these verses of Scripture and from the following verses in Revelation 11:15-19 and try to make some practical “common sense” of the matter:
1. There are seven angels standing before God.
2. Apparently, it would be correct to assume, it is God personally who has given a trumpet to each of the seven angels.
3. The seven angels each have a trumpet and at a certain time period in the future, are ready to sound the trumpet.
4. The 1st angel sounds: Revelation 8: [7] The first angel sounded.
5. The 2nd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [8] And the second angel sounded.
6. The 3rd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [10] And the third angel sounded.
7. The 4th angel sounds: Revelation 8: [12] And the fourth angel sounded.
8. The 5th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [1] And the fifth angel sounded.
9. The 6th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [13] And the sixth angel sounded.
10. The 7th angel sounds: Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded.
11. The Apostle Paul is about to reveal a mystery.
12. Those dead carnal natures of saved souls in the grave are about to be changed.
13. In a moment of time, as fast as the eye can blink, at the last trump.
14. A trumpet will sound and the mystery takes place.
15. The dead are raised from the corruption of the grave and are changed.
16. The Lord descends from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trump of God. (What does the Lord do with this trump of God? Is is a new trump or is it a trump already given to one of the angels? Perhaps one of the seven? It is a "special trump" for a "special purpose?")
17. The dead carnal natures of the saved are raised.
18. The living saved souls are caught up with those previously raised.
19. They are together with the Lord.
20. The 7th angel sounds and there are great voices in heaven making a proclamation.
21.
This proclamation declares the coming fact of the kingdoms of this
earthly world are about to become under the Kingship of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
22. The nations of the earthly world are angry, because the wrath of God is about to take place.
23.
Before the wrath occurs, there is a time of the judging of the dead and
to distribute rewards in the spiritual kingdom.
24.
The purpose of the wrath of God will be to destroy those of humanity
who have morally corrupted the earth. (And should destroy them which
destroy the earth.) The Greek word for the second English word
“destroy” has to do with morality. It can be translated as: and
destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, which destroy by
morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused it to
become thoroughly rotten.
25. The temple of God is made visible to the Apostle John.
26. On
the earth, there are certain geological events: and there were
lightning and voices, and thundering and an earthquake, and great hail.
7th Trumpet: And
the seventh angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there were great
and mighty tones of sounds and voices in heaven, saying; The royalty of
rule and the realm of the kingdoms of this orderly arrangement of the
world, including its’ inhabitants, are become the kingdoms of our Lord
and Master, the One in Supreme Authority and of His Christ, the
Anointed One; and He shall reign and rule as King forever and ever, as
the age of the Messianic period, to the perpetual ages of ages. And the
four and twenty elders of the celestial council, who sat before, in the
sight and in the presence of the very exceeding God on their seats,
fell upon their faces and worshipped Deity; the very exceeding great
God and made adoration to Him, Saying, We give thee thanks and express
gratitude to Thee, O Lord, Supreme One in Authority, Deity; God
Almighty, All-Ruling One, Omnipotent and Absolute, Universal Sovereign,
which art Being, and was I, and art to come; because you have taken by
force and miraculous power; to thee, thy great and mighty power, and
have begun to reign and rule as King. And the nations and the human
race of all pagans, are provoked and enraged to anger; and thy
justifiable, violent wrath and punishment is come; and
the proper time of the dead, that they should be judged and to give
payment for service, hire, wages and rewards unto thy slaves, bond
servants the prophet, those inspired speakers and to the saints, the
set apart ones and them that are in awe and fear thy name, small and
great; and should destroy and bring
to ruin, causing them to perish, which destroy by morally
corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused it to
become thoroughly rotten. And the temple of Deity;
the very exceeding great God; was opened in the abode of heaven and
there was seen and appeared in His shrine and temple, the sacred ark of
His contract, covenant and testament; and there were bright, glaring, shining lightning;
and a tone of sounds, noises, voices and thundering; and an earthquake,
a shaking, a commotion and tempest; and exceedingly great, large,
mighty hail. [Rev. 11:15-19].

7th Vial: And
the seventh angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial into the
blowing air; and there came a great and mighty voice out of the shrine
and temple of the sky of heaven, from the abode of God, from the throne
of power, saying: “It is done!” “It hath come!” And there were voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and a bright, shining glare, lightning’s; and
there was an exceeding great, large and mighty earthquake and
earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a commotion and tempest; such as
this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not since human beings were
upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so exceedingly great,
large and mighty, so full of power. And the great city was
divided into three parts, and the cities of the Gentile, heathen and
pagan people fell down: and great Babylon, the capital of tyranny, came
in remembrance as to recall, to be mindful to punish, before Deity; the
very exceeding great God; to give unto her the cupful of the wine
of the passionate fierceness and indignation of His wrath. And
every and all; even the whole of isles and islands fled away and
vanished; and the mountains, as lifting itself above the plain, were
not and could not be obtained or found; and there descended and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty hail out
of the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like:
and human beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of Deity; the very
exceeding great God; because of the plague, stroke and
calamity of the hail; for the
plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in
high degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible. [Rev.16:17-21].

A Blood-Like Substance Arises From Under The Earth
In The Jordan River Valley
Outside The City Of Jerusalem
And the angel thrust with intense violence, his gathering hook and
sickle for harvesting, into the earth and gathered the vine and vintage
of the earth and cast and threw it into the great trough, wine-vat and
winepress of the fierce indignation and wrath of Deity; the very
exceeding great God. And the great trough, wine-vat and winepress was
trodden without the city and a blood-like substance came out of the winepress, even up to the horse bridle-bits, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (1,600 furlongs times, 606.75 Greek feet, divided by 5,230 English feet, equals 185.62 miles). Revelation 14:19-20.
