WEEKLY FROM the REVELATION VISION 8:7-13

     I have the crazy idea that in chapter eight we have four of the seven thunders. Previously in verse 5 - “Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it onto the earth. And there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.”

     And previous to that - had been chapter 7, verses one and three - “four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.. ‘Wait! Don’t harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of his servants.’”

     …“Then — the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it onto the earth. And there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.” (Verse 8:5, an interruption in the holding of the winds. Then we’ll have 13:5-7?)

     (Quick note - the Rev. vision is told three times, {1}6:12->11:19; {2}12 w/mt.23:39; and {3}13:1->19:11. And the previous seals in chapter 6 are described as their effects first to last, veiling what seal 6 is, the one with the “number of man”. The first event/opening of the seal having been 13:13 which event pinpoints an office..)

     I have the crazy idea the “seven thunders” of Rev.10, are thermonuclear events. Until finally with enough chain reaction to make “the earth shake to and fro” Is.24:20. (Yes please tell me how a prophetic vision is metaphor and is onLy a process within the human psyche.)

     I will only add that there is lightning in that particular kind of fire.. And later when it talks about “great” hail, the thing is the higher and faster moisture rises, the greater and larger the hail it becomes.

     8:7-13

7 The 1ST angel sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the land [gé]. A third of the land was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

     8 The 2ND angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became as blood. (With this one a great power falls? Into the sea? With much repercussion in the sea of humanity.) 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and destroyed was a third of the ships. (Trade?)

     10 Then the 3RD angel blew his trumpet. A large star, burning like a torch, dropped from the sky and fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 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. 12 Then the 4th angel blew his trumpet. A third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that their light lost a third of its brightness. And they shone for one third less of the day. (Joel’s cloudy/smokey day?) 13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in (smokey?) midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
