The Seventh Trumpet

In the first great event on the last day of the end-time tribulation,
Jesus Christ will be in the heavens above the earth with the
144,000 who will be resurrected. The display from earth will
perplex mankind. Some will know the significance and will
anticipate Jesus Christ coming, while others, who still resist, will
see this awesome display as a threat to their power and existence.
Finally, man’s reign will be brought to an end:

The second woe is past, and behold, the third woe is
coming quickly. Then the seventh angel sounded, and
there were great voices in heaven, saying, “The
kingdoms of this world have now become the
kingdoms of our Lord, even of His Christ, and He
shall reign from now and forever more” (Revelation
11:14-15)

This is the announcement that man’s reign over the past 6,000
years has finally been brought to an end, and now, God will reign
on earth in His Kingdom with Jesus Christ at its head; Christ has
now become King of kings over all the earth:

Then the twenty four elders, who sat before God on their
thrones, fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying,
“We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who is, and
was, and are yet to come, because you have taken to yourself
your great power, and will now reign.” (Rev. 11:16-17)

God has always been in control of His creation, but He
chose to allow man to rule himself for 6,000 years. This has
always been part of God’s plan in order for man to learn that
only God’s way of life produces good and lasting results. The
witness of man’s ways over the past 6,000 years has proven to
be disastrous.

When the Seventh Trumpet sounds, the time will have come
for God to begin His rule over the earth. This has been His plan
since before the creation of the universe millions of years ago. As
it says in verse 18, the time has come for God to “destroy them
who destroy the earth.”

Seven Last Plagues

The third and final woe that will follow the blast of the Seventh
Trumpet is divided into seven specific events, which are called
the Seven Last Plagues of God’s wrath. This wrath will be on
those who still will refuse to submit to God.

This wrath will crush the superpowers of Europe and China
along with her allies:

Then I saw another sign in heaven that was massively
great and amazing, with seven angels having the seven
last plagues, for in them is filled up the wrath of God . . .


Then one of the four creatures gave to the seven angels
seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives for
ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from
the glory of God, and from his power, and no one was able
to enter into the temple until the seven plagues from the
seven angels were fulfilled . . .

Then I heard a great voice from the temple saying to the
seven angels, “Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the
wrath of God upon the earth.”


The first went and poured out his vial on the earth, and
there fell a destroying and disease filled sore upon the men
who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who
worshipped his image. (Revelation 15:1, 7-8, 16:1-2)

This specific plague of death will fall upon those in the United
States of Europe who embrace the teachings of the Catholic
Church. This will not be a small thing which God does. It will be
powerfully destructive with several hundred thousand dying this
day from this First Plague, and the second follows quickly:

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea,
and it became as the blood of a dead man, and everything
living died in the sea. (Verse 3)

Everything in the coastal waters of both superpowers will die,
including mankind. At this moment, tens of thousands will die
and this death will continue:

The third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
sources of water, and they became blood . . . Then the
fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power
was given to him to scorch mankind with fire. Men were
scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name
of God, who has the power over these plagues, and they
repented not to give him glory. Then the fifth angel
poured out his vial on the government of the beast, and
his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their
tongues for pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and still would not
repent of their deeds. (Verses 4, 8-11)

God will send a scorching heat upon these same nations.
Hundreds of thousands who have already been suffering will die
now because they continue to defy God. They will not repent.
Then, all light will be removed from these regions resulting in
total blackness. This darkness will have the power to kill even
more of these same hateful, rebellious people; yet they still will
not repent. They will continue to curse God.

As with Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus in Egypt, man has a
nature that seeks to do its own will, and this nature fights against
yielding to God’s perfect will. Mankind has always been this
way. Mankind resists God, even to death, in order to hold onto
his own self-rule, rather than yielding to God’s rule in his life.
Instead of repenting and seeking God, man tries to keep God out
of his way.

John describes what he sees when the sixth plague is poured
out, but it is the result of something that has already been
underway for many months. The result of this vision, reveals the
purpose accomplished by the sixth angel pouring out his vial.

The purpose of this symbolism contained in John’s vision was to
bring these two superpowers together so that God could deal with
them in one location. God has chosen to do this in order to bring
about a final powerful blow to end all of man’s self-rule. The
result will serve as a future witness to the power and glory of
God to end all wars—something that man could never do! Notice
the description of the sixth angel pouring out his vial:

The sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates, and the water was dried up so that the way
might be made ready for the kings to come from the east.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the
mouth of the dragon [symbolic of China and her allies],
and out of the mouth of the beast [symbolic of a United
States of Europe], and out of the mouth of the false
prophet [symbolic of the Pope of the Catholic Church].
For these are the spirits of demons, working miracles,
who go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of
God Almighty. (Revelation 16:12-14)

Satan will actually exercise power and influence over all three
of these powers on earth, but there are demons who will do his
bidding, as this symbolism shows. Their influence will help bring
about the prophetic reality of this day when these two great
superpowers gather together for the “battle of that great day of
God Almighty.” The result of the vial poured out by the sixth
angel will be that

“he gathered them together into a place called
in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon” (Verse 16).

In the midst of all the confusion of this day, this war actually
will begin later in the day when the sixth vial is poured out.
Then, tens of thousands in these two armies will die in this all
out confrontation.

The Seventh Plague

When the last vial is poured out, these two powers will stop
fighting each other. They will declare a quick truce because they
suddenly fear something much greater than each other:

Then the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air,
and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying, “It is done!” There were noises,
and thunder, and lightning, and there was a great
earthquake such as there never has been since mankind
was on the earth. The earthquake so mighty and so
great that the great city [Rome—the seat of religious
power over Europe] was divided into three parts [no
longer a city of seven hills], and the cities of the nations
fell [the great cities of both superpowers], and great
Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
And every island fled away [prophetically symbolic of
every smaller country seeking to escape, but could not],
and the mountains could not be found [prophetic
symbolism that all the great governments of these
superpowers are destroyed—they no longer exist]. And
there fell on men a great hail out of heaven, and each
weighted about a talent [100 pounds / 45 kg], and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for
the plague thereof was so exceedingly great.
(Revelation 16:17-21)

This plague will be the final blow which will completely
destroy all the remaining governing structure of both
superpowers. The entire infrastructure of all these countries will
collapse. This destruction will prove to be overwhelming; the
death toll will mount into the tens of millions.

These two great armies will still be fighting each other as this
last plague is being poured out. During this plague, they will stop
fighting. Both will receive word of the scale of destruction in
their home countries. They will no longer fear each other, but
they will fear, what they now see, as the source of their demise.

They will see the movement of that which will be glowing in the
heavens. They will not understand what it is, but they will see it
moving toward them. The next thing that will happen is
unbelievable.

Uniting to Fight God

At the end of the Seventh Plague, Jesus Christ and the spiritual
army of 144,000 new members of the God Family begin moving
toward the location of these two great superpowers:

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and
He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like
a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had
a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. He was
clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called
The Word of God [Jesus Christ]. And the armies which
were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean [the 144,000]. And out of His
mouth went a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the
nations, and He shall rule them with a rod of iron. He
treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God. He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written,
King of kings, and Lord of lords. (Rev. 19:11-16)

Jesus Christ came the first time, as the Lamb of God to die as
man’s Passover, so that man could be saved through Him by the
forgiveness of sins. The second time He will not come as a
Lamb, but as a Lion; and He will not come in peace, but in war.

The war He will bring will be swift and decisive, as He and the
144,000 will destroy the army of both superpowers. As it says,
“He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God,” by destroying this final display of man’s opposition to
God.

Now, all mankind will be fully humbled before God and
God will usher in His Kingdom to reign on earth.

This final war will be swift and powerfully strong!

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with
a loud voice saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of
heaven, “Come and gather yourselves together to the
supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of
kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty
men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on
them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both
small and great.” [he speaks of the destruction of this
army and says that the birds eat their flesh once they are
slain]. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth,
and their armies, gathered together to make war
against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army
[these two opposing armies unite to fight against Jesus
Christ and His army]. The beast was taken [leader of
the United Europe], and with him the false prophet that
worked miracles before him [the Pope], by which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the rest were slain with the sword of Him that sat
on the horse, whose sword proceeded out of His mouth,
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
(Revelation 19:17-21)

In this final battle, over 200 million will die.
During this time period (three and one-half years) of this
Seventh Seal, over 6 billion people will die.

Now, finally after 6,000 years of man’s self-rule, God will
rule the earth through His Son, Jesus Christ, and the 144,000 who
then will be in the Kingdom of God—the Family of God:

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
was given to them [to the 144,000] and I saw the souls of
them who were cutoff for the witness of Jesus [these had
been cutoff from the world for holding onto God’s way],
and for the word of God, who had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark
upon their foreheads, or in their hands. These lived and
reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of
the dead [the rest of mankind who had lived and died
throughout the first 6,000 years of man’s time on earth]
lived not again until the thousand years were finished
[they will be resurrected to physical life once more, but
they will then be living in God’s world once the 1,000
year reign of Jesus Christ has ended]. This is the first
resurrection [referring to the 144,000 who are in the first
great resurrection of mankind]. Blessed and holy is he
who has part in the first resurrection, for on such the
second death has no power [the 144,000 have not been
resurrected to physical life again in this first resurrection,
but to spiritual life], but they shall be priests of God and
of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:4-6)

This new millennial age for mankind will bring peace, equity,
righteous judgment, prosperity, joy, and happiness on a level
which will be so great that man cannot even imagine it.

In conclusion...

All the posts I have done over the last 2 days (15 I believe) represent but a small portion of the book... Merely 2 chapters of 7 in the book.

This 'book' changed the way I, personally, view God and God's 'plans' for mankind. I hope providing some of it's content here may encourage others to download and read the book in it's entirety. [It's a free download]

It answered, or shed new light on, many questions that have/had bothered me for many years, even decades I dare say.

Many of the things discussed in the book have already come to pass or are very near, IMO. Including the references to WW III

Many will find some of it's contents to be very controversial... All I can say is stick with it, read the entire book before passing judgment on it. Try to keep an open mind... Read it with your heart.

*I* think that may be what God would want...
