Weekly Book of Revelation CU Studies Journal, Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

༺✧༻ 🍁🍂༺✧༻

{I think these are descriptions of things and happenings done by man. We have his number! We are made of carbon and carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.

     Review - verses 5 and 6, just previous - {Can it be avoided I wonder..} The angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar, and with the prayers of the ‘saints’/believers. And he threw the mixture upon the earth! And there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. {The interrupting of 7:1,3? Which verses (7:1,3) are the holding back of the winds (logically, of seal 6, Rev.6:12-17) after their first occurrence.

     But the seal is described as its total effects -  first to last - at the very beginning of the vision! This is a veil over the vision. One of three or four?

     Counting these ‘flashes’ this one is (#2).}

       6 And now the seven angels who have the seven trumpets prepared to sound.

     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}

     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}

    10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, like a falling 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 {interestingly in Russian is chernobyl}. A third of the waters became bitter, and many people died from the water. {#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 of the soundings of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to sound..”

Next - 9:1-12
