€XpLoR!n9 ReVeLaTion 8 7-13

     WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

               paraphrased study

Review and thots (my own studyπŸ€“) - vs.5,6 just previous - Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire (and prayers of the ‘saints’) from the altar and threw it upon the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. ->The interrupting of 7:1,3, the holding back of the winds (of seal 6? 6:12-17). This interruption followed by the consolidating of powers - powers manifested this time as a many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution, stepped into, lawlessly, by one from the office pinpointed by the 13:13 event. — The vision is portrayed 3 different times in Rev, so 13:13 can easily be the first seal 6 event! I think our heavenly Father loves a good riddle! And after this interruption of holding back the winds of seal 6 after its first occurrence, comes the consolidating of powers (iron-bronze/roman-graeco/west and clay/not west/the fallen away west) along with the much lauded treaty/league of Daniel 9:27  - berith - covenant, league, treaty. (Proof of “the gap” in the “70 weeks prophecy - Lk.19:41,44). But the praised treaty alas only lasts 7 years and is broken in the middle against Israel and 1,290 days later is “set up” the final abomination that desolates (this time upon the human temple, the person/people, meant for God’s Spirit/Presence (Life!) - Dn.12:11-12 with Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16.

     6 And now the seven angels who have the seven trumpets prepare to blow them.

7 - The first angel blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it was thrown upon the earth, and a third of earth was burned up, and a third of trees, and (where it was?) all the green grass was burned up. (#3 ‘thunder’? Number one being 6:12-17 - but the seal is all its occurrences blended, the whole element of the age (seal) described first to last. And #2 thunder? is 8:5)

     8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something that looked like a great mountain on fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became as blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships (and trade?) were destroyed. (#4? thunder?/seal 6 event)

     10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, like a torch. And it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. (7:17) 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter. (#5?)

     12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was stricken, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened, and a third of the day did not give its light, and so it was also for a third of the night. (#6?)

     13 Then I looked, and saw an eagle flying overhead and it cried out with a loud voice -  “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell upon earth, because the soundings of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!” (Worse things yet?😳

     A key? The triple six riddle in last days prophecy - six is the number of man, who is carbon based. Carbon having six protons makes its atomic number to be six. Besides 6 protons, it also has six neutrons and six electrons. A triple six. This suggests to me that all of apocalypse is mankind’s doings.

     God can claim all judgments as his (the ‘thunderings of his voice’) because it is after all, he, who created a cause and effect universe and reality. ..Otherwise creation as an ant farm?? We can trust this, God “is Perfect” so the ‘end’ result of all things can only be the best one possible. The greek word translated end means end-aim, “tel” like tel-escope.. prophecy repeats from smaller scope to full scope and end-aim of it.

     We can trust in, and praise our heavenly Father’s end-aim, knowing he is - surely? - 100% unfettered Genius. Supreme. God is supreme and all mighty. ..If there’d been no option to stray in Eden? NO power of choice in creation? Ant farm!

     If things - choices other than his - are not allowed to run their course, what exactly would be the whole point? Notice how “all in heaven and earth” are taking this unavoidable journey/lesson all together at once. And how life as we presently know it - the straying itself - turns out to be the very crucible of correction! THE one that works and will persuade all that straying from God who is Life, and “is perfect” can neveR work - lol? Imperfect being an ABYSS of potential…
