  Speaker 1: There are things in the Book of Revelation that will
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: shock you. The Bible speaks of the true apocalypse, a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: burning mountain cast into the sea, a bottomless pit opening
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and releasing the most repugnant demonic creatures. You could imagine
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: an army of locusts resembling humans that hunt down anyone
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: without God's seal on their foreheads. And have you heard
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the Fallen Angels? Right well, there are four demonic
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: angels released to wreak havoc on Earth. After watching this video,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you will have to reflect on your life and your
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: relationship with God, because what is coming to this land
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: is terrifying if you are not in Jesus Christ. This
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: is a biblical explanation of the seven trumpet judgments of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: God in the Book of Revelation. The Seven Seals have
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a passage that made you pause and think, is this real?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Of course, the Bible is real and all scripture is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: inerrant to explore the seven trumpet judgments of God described
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in the Book of Revelation to contextualize these judgments will
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: occur during the period of tribulation after the rapture of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Church. Here is a brief summary of each judgment.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The first trumpet, according to the Bible, brings hail and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: fire mixed with blood, causing destruction and vegetation and trees.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: A third of the world's trees are burned in this plague,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and all grass is consumed. In the second trumpet, a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: great burning mountain is cast into the sea, resulting in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the death of a third of marine creatures and the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: destruction of ships. A third of the sea becomes blood
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and a third of the ships sink. The third trumpet
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: will see a great star falling from the sky and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: poisoning a third of the rivers and fountains, causing the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: death of many. This star is called wormwood. In the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fourth trumpet, the earth will see a third of the sun, moon,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and stars being struck, resulting in a third of the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: day and night darkening. The fifth, sixth, and seventh trumpets
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: are referred to as the three Woes. In the fifth trumpet,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: something truly terrifying is unleashed. According to the Bible, a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: bottomless pit is opened, releasing demonic locusts that torment those
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: without God's seal on their foreheads. The sixth trumpet will
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: bring the introduction of four diabolical mercenaries, four angels are
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: released to kill a third of humanity with an army
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of two hundred thousand horsemen, resulting in great devastation and death. Now,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the seventh and final trumpet announces the coming of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God and the judgment of the nations. The Bible,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in Revelation chapter eleven, verse nineteen says, then the temple
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of God in heaven was opened, and within his temple
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was seen the arc of his covenant. And there were
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: flashes of lightning, voices, thunderings, earthquakes, and a severe hailstorm.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Now for a moment, I would like to focus on
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Revelation chapter nine. In the fifth trumpet. According to this passage,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a star falls from the sky and unlocks the abyss,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: releasing a massive cloud of smoke that blocks the sun
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and pollutes the air. Imagine waking up one day and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: discovering that the sunlight, and air have become dark due
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to the smoke coming from a bottomless pit. Just imagine
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the chaos. The sun is barely visible, casting everything into twilight.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Panic sets in as people realize that this is not
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just a temporary climatic phenomenon, but a catastrophic event, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: guess what is at the bottom of that bottomless pit.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Demonic locusts are released on earth. The description of these
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: locusts is almost surreal in its vividness. They have the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: appearance of armored horses with crowns of gold and human faces.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But their hair is like women's and their teeth are
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like lions. The sound of their wings is like the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: noise of an army marching, and their tails are like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: scorpions with stingers that cause unbearable pain. A terrifying image
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that would instill fear in anyone who sees it. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: why am I telling you all this? Well, I tell
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you all this because you have a choice to make.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Luke Chapter twenty one, verse sixteen says, be always on
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the watch and pray that you may be able to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: escape all that is about to happen, and that you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: may be able to stand before the Son of Man.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The Bible tells us to be alert all the time.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: When the Lord returns for his church, he will come
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: back for those who are faithfully living for him. Everything
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: will happen in the blink of an eye. Are you alert?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Are you always watching? Are you truly following Christ? Now?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I would like to explore the meaning of Revelation chapter twelve,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: verse twelve, for a moment which says, therefore, rejoice o
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: heavens and you who dwell in them, But woe to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the earth and the sea, because the Devil has come
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: down to you, filled with fury, knowing that his time
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is short. From this verse, we can establish that the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: devil is on this earth, because the Bible says, woe
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to the earth and the sea, because the devil has
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: come down to you. We can also establish that the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: devil is angry. In fact, the Bible says that Satan
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is filled with fury because he knows his time is short.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And if his time is short, well, that means the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: time is closer when it comes to the return of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Indeed, if we take a step back to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: study and understand what Revelation chapter twelve, verse twelve is saying,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we will understand the reason why sin and evil are
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: so abundant in our world. Now. The Book of Revelation
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is filled with imagery and symbolism, and this verse is
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: no exception. It speaks of a great war in heaven
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: where the dragon also known as the Devil, and his
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: angels fought against Michael and his angels. Satan and his
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: followers were defeated and cast down to earth, where he
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: is full of fury and seeks to cause chaos and destruction.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: The illustration I want to use to explain this passage
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is that of a caged lion. Picture a lion in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a zoo, pacing back and forth in its cage. The
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: lion is powerful and dangerous, but confined to a small space.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The bars of the cage prevent the lion from causing
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: harm to those outside the cage. Now imagine that the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: door of this cage is suddenly opened and the lion
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is set free. The lion is full of fury and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: runs rampant, attacking everything in its path. This is similar
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to what is happening with Satan. He was once confined
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to the spiritual realm, but has been released to roam
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the earth. He is full of fury and seeks to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: attack and destroy everything in his path. The Bible says
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in one Peter five, verse eight, be sober minded, be
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: watchful your adversary. The devil prows around like a roaring lion,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: seeking someone to devour. But why is Satan so determined
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to cause destruction? The answer lies in his rebellion against God.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Satan was once an angel of God, but rebelled and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: was cast out of heaven. Since then, he has waged
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: war against God and his people, seeking to lead as
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: many souls as possible away from the truth and towards
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: eternal condemnation. And that is why sin and evil are
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: so abundant in this world. Satan is actively working to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: lead people into temptation and sin, hoping to turn them
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: away from God and towards eternal condemnation. But we should
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: not be afraid, for Jesus has already defeated Satan on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the Cross. In conclusion, Revelation, Chapter twelve, Verse twelve reminds
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: us that sin and evil are abundant in this world
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because of Satan's rebellion against God. As Christians, we can
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: take comfort in the fact that Jesus has already won
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the victory over Satan, and through him we have the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: power to resist temptation and overcome evil. Let's place our
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: faith in Jesus and stand firm against the devil's schemes,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: knowing that our eternal reward is secure in Christ. We
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: all have a choice to make every day. There's no
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: need to live in fear of the future. The Bible
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: tells us in Acts chapter two, verse seventeen, and in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the last days it shall be, God declares that I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: will pour out my spirit on all flesh, and your
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The Bible also tells us in Titus two, verse thirteen,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Saints, we
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: have a blessed hope Jesus Christ. The return of our
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Lord is the blessed hope we have as his children.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So do not be discouraged. Do not be disheartened about
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the events of this world. But keep your eyes on Jesus.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, who is the Way,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the Truth, and the Life, and who explicitly said no
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: one comes to the Father except through me. You and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I need to ensure that we are not the people
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: mentioned in Matthew chapter seven, verse twenty two, where the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Bible says, on that day many will say to me,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? And
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: works in your name. Eyes among us will be vigilant,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: will see the signs of the times as they study
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the word of God. But the foolish, the fools will slumber,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: will miss the signs for lack of knowledge. Pray for wisdom,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Saints of God. We need to be wise in these
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: times we live in. We need to be filled with
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the spirit and guided by the spirit. We need to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: prepare our lives and remain ready awaiting our Lord and savior,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ to fulfill his promise. The Bible tells us
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in John chapter fourteen, verses two and three. In my
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: father's house are many rooms. If it were not so,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: would I have told you that I go to prepare
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a place for you. And if I go and prepare
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a place for you, I will come again and will
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: take you to myself, that where I am you may be. Also.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It's good news that God will put an end to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: this wickedness and restore us to our heavenly dwellings. However,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: until that day comes, the Lord has provided us with
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: graphic signs to alert us that the time is near.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He has given us clear signs that we should know
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the end is near. The Bible tells us that people
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: will arise claiming to be the Christ or the Messiah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but warns us not to listen. Instead of looking at
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: everything happening in the world and concentrating your time and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: energy on a list of all the signs of the times,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I encourage you to focus your time and energy on
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: seeking God. That should be our sole focus, to know
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, to pray, and to know him more. The
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Bible calls us to wake up. The Lord wants us
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to wake up to the fact that there is a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: heaven and a hell. There is a day of judgment.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but Heaven. From what I've
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: read about, heaven seems to be a better place. No
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: more tears, no more sadness, just joy, just peace. Oh
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to be in the presence of the Lord for all eternity,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: away from the diseases and afflictions of this world, free
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: from natural disasters and devastation. I encourage you to focus
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: your time on having a right relationship with Jesus Christ,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: so that when we stand before Him, we hear the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: words well done, good and faithful servant. Don't forget to
