And Jehovah GOD saw that the evil, wretchedness and wickedness of mankind was great in the earth, and that every imagination and everything framed in his mind, of the purpose and thoughts of his feelings, and heart was only evil, and his desires were wrong continually, every day. And it repented the LORD Jehovah that He had made man on the earth and it displeased, and grieved Him at His inner feelings and heart. And the LORD Jehovah said, I will destroy, erase, strike and rub out man whom I have created and prepared from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it causes me to repent and reconsider that I have made them. For yet in seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance and thing that I have made, will I destroy, erase, strike and rub out from off the face of the earth. The earth also was corrupt and marred before the exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; and the land of the earth was full of injustice and unrighteous violence. And the exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; directed His view, to view and think upon the land of the earth; and all flesh of mankind had corrupted and spoiled His course of life and the way to walk upon the land of the earth. And the exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; said unto Noah; the process of the end of all flesh of mankind is come before my face, for the land of the earth is filled with false injustice and violence through them and behold, I will destroy, cast off, cause to perish and utterly waste them with the land of the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains, springs and wells of the great abyss of surging water in the deep broken up, and the windows and holes of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a deluge and flood; neither shall there anymore be a deluge and flood to destroy the earth. Genesis 6:5-7, 11-13; 7:4, 11-12; & 9:11.
Then the LORD caused it to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah an inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a burning, hot flaming fire from the LORD Jehovah out of the sky of heaven; And He overthrew those cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD Jehovah: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and vapor of the land went up as the fume and smoke of a smelting furnace. Genesis 19:24-25; & 19:27-28.
For the day of the LORD Jehovah of hosts shall be upon every one that is arrogant, proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be abased, humiliated and brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols He shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the caverns and clefts of the rocks as a refuge, and onto the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake mightily and terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:12-21.
In that day, they shall growl, mourn and roar against them like the roaring of the sea and if one look and consider attentively unto the land, behold, darkness, death, destruction, misery and sorrow of anguish; trouble and tribulation; and the illumination of the bright, clear day light is caused to be darkness, made dim and black, as to hide in the sky of the heaven, as dropping at the horizon. Isaiah 5:30.
Make a boisterous and wailing howl; for the day of the LORD Jehovah is near at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Lo and behold, the day of the LORD Jehovah is coming, a burning and cruel anger; both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the country, the field, the wilderness and the land of the earth desolate: and He shall destroy the one accounted guilty as sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations, even of Orion, thereof shall not give their light: the sun rays from the east to the west will be dark and hidden from view and the bright moon will not glitter, illuminate or shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore, I will shake with a violent tremble, the air of heaven and the land of the earth shall move in a smooth wavelike motion, it will increase and decrease, out of her local and general place in the outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of Armies and in the day of His burning fierce rapid breathing passionate anger. Isaiah 13:6-13.
Behold, the LORD God Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One makes the land of the earth empty, and depopulates it, and annihilates it, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters by dashing in pieces and abroad the ones who dwell and settle down on the land of the earth, the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land of the earth shall be utterly emptied, and depopulated, and utterly plundered and spoiled: for the LORD God Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One hath spoken and properly arranged this word. The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured and consumed the land of the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate and guilty to be punished and to perish: therefore the inhabitants of the land of the earth are burned, and few men remain. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who flees and escapes from the noise and sound of the fear, alarm and terror shall fall into the pit and snare as a catching for prey; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the spring trap and snare: for the windows from on high are open wide, and the foundations of the ground and land of the earth do shake. The land and field of the earth is utterly broken down into pieces, the ground and the land of the earth is clean dissolved, it is moved and wavered, the earth is shaken off course, it is moved exceedingly, falling down and shaken violently. The earth shall reel and waver, to and fro, as in wavering as being intoxicated and like a drunkard, and shall flee, waver and be tossing like a hammock, be removed like a cottage; and the transgression and rebellion and sin, thereof shall be heavy and a severe burden upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One, shall visit to punish the mass of those organized for war and the host of the high and haughty ones that are in a lofty and elevated place, and the kings of the earth upon the land of the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, a dungeon and prison, and shall be shut up and fastened in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited for punishment. Then the moon shall be confounded and brought to confusion and the heat of the sun ashamed, pale and delayed, when the LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One, of the Hosts of Armies shall take council to ascend to the throne and begin His royal reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in splendor, glory and honor. Isaiah 24:1-6 & 17-23.
Thou shall be visited by the Lord Jehovah of Hosts with a peal of thunder, with earthquake and vibration, with fierceness, shaking and vapor; and great noise, with whirlwind, storm and tempest and the flash of bright, flaming, devouring, burning fire. Isaiah 29:6.
For lo, I begin to bring evil and spoil on the guarded city which is called by name and should ye be completely unpunished; ye shall be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants, those who settle down to dwell on the land of the earth and of the world, saith the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of the Hosts of Armies. Therefore, speak an inspiration of prophesy as a matter of cause and against them all these words and say, the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One will mightily roar from on high and call aloud with His voice from His sacred and holy abode and habitation; He shall give an acclamation and shout as they that tread and walk though to ambush the inhabitants and dwellers upon the land of the earth. A noise and an uproar shall come even to the ends of the land of the earth, for the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One has a controversy and a strife with the nations of the Gentile people, the foreign heathen; He will judge and pass sentence, vibrate and punish all flesh of mankind, He will give them that are morally wrong, wicked and ungodly, to the cutting instrument of a sword, declares by affirmation, the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One. Thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of the Host of Armies, Behold evil and wretchedness shall go forth from the nations of the Gentiles, to the nations of the Gentiles, a great tempest of a whirlwind, and shall be raised up, and stirred up, and awaken from the coasts, and boarders of the earth of the world. And the slain of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One shall be at that day, from one end of the land of the earth, even unto the other end of the land of the earth, they shall not be lamented or mourn, nor in any wise be buried, they shall be dung upon the surface of the soil and ground of the earth. Jeremiah 25:29-33.
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying: son of a human being, speak by inspiration in a prediction and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD, Jehovah; Howl ye with a boisterous wailing tone, Woe and grief worth the day, For the day is near, even the day of the LORD Jehovah: is near, a day of clouds that cover the sky; a time of the nations of the Gentiles; the heathen. Ezekiel 30:1-3.
Therefore, son of a human being: speak an inspired prophesy and say unto Gog, the northern nation, Thus says, the Lord, the Only God; In that day, when my people of Israel dwell in a quiet, secure and feeling of safety, Will you not know and be ascertain by seeing it? And thou shall come from the northern border, you and many people as a unit of troops, with all of them riding and being dispatched upon horses, a great assembly and multitude, an abundant and a mighty army of fierce and strength. And thou shall come up and ascend as a trap against my people of Israel, as a thunder cloud covering the sky to cover and overwhelm the land. It shall be in the latter and future days and I will bring thee against my land, that the foreign heathen, Gentile people may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee O’ Gog, the northern nation, before their eyes. Thus says the Lord, the Only God, Art thou he of whom I have spoken in ancient time by my servants, the inspired men and prophets of Israel which spoke by inspiration in those days, many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog, the northern nation, will come against the land of Israel saith the Lord, the Only God, that my anger and hot displeasure, fury and rage will come up into my face. For in my jealousy and zeal, in the burning, hot flaming fire of my outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath, have I spoken: For certain, in that day, there shall be a great and insolent shaking and uproar, a vibration and quaking in the land of Israel. So that the fishes of the sea and the birds of the air of heaven and the living creatures of the field and all reptiles, and any other rapid moving animals that creep by moving upon the soil of the earth and all human beings, that are upon the face of the soil of the earth, will shake at my presence, and the mountains and range of hills shall be broken into pieces, and the wall of protection will fall to the ground. And I will call out for a cutting instrument of a sword against all and throughout all my mountain range of hills and country, Says the Lord, the Only God: every man’s cutting instrument of a sword will be against his brother and kinsman. And I will judge for a sentence to vindicate and punish against him, with a plague and pestilence, with a substance like blood; and I will rain upon him and upon his army and crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit, that are with him, an over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain, and a great weight of a peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery, flaming fire and an inflammable, sulfur resin of brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many a foreign, heathen, Gentile people and you will know by ascertain by seeing, that I am the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One. Ezekiel 38:14-23.
Sanctify ye a fast, to call out a solemn assembly to a meeting, to gather the elders and all the inhabitants, who settle and dwell on the land of the earth, into the house of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One, your great and mighty God, the Judge; cry and shriek unto the Lord Jehovah; Oh, oh, Alas, for the day of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One is near at hand: as a destruction of violence and ravage of wasting, from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 1:14-15.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble with violent emotion and stand in awe: for the day of the LORD Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and misery, of gloominess and misfortune, a day of clouds and lowering of the dark thick sky, as the day dawns upon the mountains: a great people, numerous and strong; there hath not been anything like this, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A hot, fiery, flame devours and consumes them; and behind them a spearing flame is set on a flaming blaze: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate, devastation and wasted wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape it. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake and quiver with a violent rage, shake and tremble before them; the air of the heavens shall tremble and move: the sun rays in the arch of the sky, from the east, to the west and the moon shall be an ashy dark color; and the stars shall withdraw and remove their clear brilliant shining: And the LORD shall thunder forth His voice before His army: for His encampment is very exceeding great: for He is mighty and strong to execute His word: for the day of the LORD Jehovah is very great and very terrible, to be feared; and who can endure and bear it? Joel 2:1-11.
And I will show a token, a sign and wonders in the air of the heavens, in the visible arch of the sky, where the clouds move; and in the field, in the ground, in the wilderness and throughout all the land of the earth; it will have the appearance of blood along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns and pillars of clouds, of angry dust, smoke and vapor. The brilliant sunrays in the arch of the sky, from the rising of the sun in the east, to the setting of the sun westward will be changed and turned over to the darkness of night and the moon will take on the appearance of blood, before the great and notable, the fearful, the terrible and dreadful day of the LORD Jehovah, the self-Existing, the Eternal One comes. Joel 2:30-31
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD Jehovah is near at hand, in the valley of decision and destruction. The arch of the sunrays from the rising in the east, to the setting in the west and the moon shall be ashy dark and the gazing of the stars shall withdraw their bright shining. The LORD Jehovah also shall mightily roar and rumble out of Zion; and give forth His voice from Jerusalem; and the air of the heavens and the field, the country, the wilderness and the land of the earth shall shake and tremble: but the LORD Jehovah will be the shelter of hope of His people and the strength and fortress of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall dwell forever and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. Joel 3:9-21.
Alas, O’ Woe unto you that desire and wish to know the day of the LORD! To what purpose and to what end is it for you? The day of the LORD Jehovah is darkness and obscurity and not bright nor light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD Jehovah be darkness and not one of illumination, bright and clear? Even very dark and dusky; with no brightness or clear shinning in it? Amos 5:18-20.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun rays in the arch of the sky, from the rising of the sun in the east to the setting in the west, to go down at noon, midday and become a dual, double light and I will withhold the light and cause darkness on the earth in the clear, bright, illumination of the day. Amos 8:9.
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their preserved things: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. Therefore their goods shall become booty and their houses desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. The great day of the LORD Jehovah is near, it is near, and is coming exceeding quickly and swiftly, even the voice of the day of the LORD Jehovah: the mighty man shall cry in a shrill of tone, there with discontent and great bitterness. That day, is a day of anger, rage and wrath, a day of adversity, affliction, anguish, distress, tribulation and trouble; a day of wastefulness, devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick black darkness covering the sky; A day of the trumpet and giving a clear sound, an alarm against the fenced and fortified cities, and against the high towers and battlements. And I will bring distress upon human beings that they shall walk like a blind person, because they have sinned against the LORD Jehovah: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and the flesh of their bodies as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD Jehovah’s outburst of anger, rage and wrath; but the whole land shall be burned, devoured and consumed by the hot fiery flame of His jealousy: for He shall make a speedy and complete destruction and riddance of all the inhabitants of the land. Zephaniah 1:7-18.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah of the Hosts of Armies; Yet once in a little while, very soon, I will shake the air of the heavens and the country, the ground, the wilderness, the field and the land of the earth and the sea, the dry and the desert land. Haggai 2:6.
Behold, the day of the LORD Jehovah comes, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all heathen, Gentile nations against Jerusalem to battle and war; and the city shall be captured, occupied and taken, and the houses rifled, plundered and spoiled; and the women will be defiled and ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity and exile, and the residue and remainder of the people shall not be cut off or consumed, nor destroyed from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day, upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be divided, cleave and split in the middle, into two parts, toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the illumination of the day light, shall not be clear with brightness, nor settled dark: But it shall be one unique day, which shall be known to the LORD Jehovah, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at dusk of the evening time, there will be illumination of light. And it shall be in that day, that living, running spring water, shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one. All the land shall be turned as a plain, as the Arabah desert from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses, where the grapes are crushed. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more curse or physical destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite and slay all the people, that have assembled and fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away and melt, while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away and melt in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away and melt in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about, shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; that shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of Hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and see therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of Hosts. Zechariah 14:1-21.
For, behold, the day shall come, it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot and an oven; and all the arrogant and proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be as stubble: and the day that comes, shall burn and set them ablaze with a flaming fire, saith the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root or branch. Malachi 4:1.
The Disciples Asked The Lord Three Questions
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and His disciples came to [Him] for to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:1-3.
Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? Mark 13:4
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? And what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to pass? Luke 21:7
The disciples asked the Lord three questions:
1. When will the destruction of the temple take place?
2. What will be the sign of your coming {as the bodily Messiah}?
3. What will be the sign of the end of the world?
The Answer To The 1st Question
The answer to question #1: The destruction of the Temple occurred in 70 A.D. by Roman legions under General Titus and was besieged by the Emperor Hadrian in 135 A.D.
The 2nd And 3rd Questions
#2. What will be the sign and token to indicate and signify, when these predictions and events are about to take place, to be accomplished and fulfilled, come to pass and happen; regarding the coming and bodily presence of your return?
#3. And of the entire, full, completed and specific period of time, of the end of the age and of the end of the world?
The Answer To The 2nd And 3rd Questions
For the Gentile nations, the heathen and pagan people, will rise and move up against and among one another bordering nations and kingdom against kingdom, one place of reign touching another; and there shall be famines, a lack of food, causing destitution for people being without food; and pestilences, a plague of diseases; and a shaking of the ground, causing it to tremble, shake sideways, back and forth, for the earth will be shaking in divers or various places, down through its’ distribution with intensity, in many locations. But all these are the beginning, of the grief, the first of the troubles, sorrows, of the birth pains and travail. Matthew 24:7-8.

For then shall be great and mighty, exceedingly sore affliction, anguish, oppression, burden and tribulation, such as not occurred since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earth-shocks, earthquakes in divers or different and various places; and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows, like the early pains of childbirth. Mark 13:8.
For in those days shall be affliction, anguish, burden, tribulation and trouble, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created, unto this time and never shall be. Mark 13:19.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise up against and be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earth-shocks, great earthquakes and great shaking shall be in every divers and different places; and famines, people without food; and an outburst of disease and pestilences; and there will be great signs of terror and fearful sights from heaven. Luke 21:10-11.
After The Tribulation Period – The Son Of Man Coming In The Clouds
The Lord Jesus Christ will Return at the end of The Great Tribulation Period, in a single massive cloud of “Volcanic Ash,” which will encircle the entire planet earth. It will be caused by the thousands of erupting volcanoes and perhaps in addition to some “Super Volcanoes.” It will take several years to build this cloud, in which the Lord will pass through, upon His return to the earth.

I saw in the night visions and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven and came up, even unto the Ancient of days and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting and age-enduring dominion, which shall not pass away and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, nor brought to ruin. Daniel 7:13-14.
*
And immediately and straightway, after the pressure and anguish; the tribulation of those days, the light of the sun will be obscure and darkened; and the moon shall not give her brilliant light; and the stars shall fall from the sky of heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken and stirred up; and then shall appear, the sign and token of the Son of man in the sky of heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky of heaven with force and power; and abundant, great glory, dignity, praise and honor. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather and collect in the same place, together His elect, chosen and selected ones, from the four winds, from one end and extreme of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:29-31.
But in those days, after that affliction, anguish, burden, trouble and tribulation, the light of the sun from the east shall be darkened and obscured; and the moon shall not give her brilliant light; and the stars of the extension of the sky of heaven shall be falling; and the powers that are in the sky of heaven shall be shaken, disturbed and stirred up. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with abundant, great power and glory. And then shall He send His angels and shall gather together and collect in the same place, His chosen and His elect from the four winds, from the extreme uttermost part of the earth, to the extreme uttermost part of heaven. Mark 13:24-27.
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of the sky of heaven. Mark 14:62.
And there shall be signs, tokens and wonders in the light of the sun; and in the moon; and in the constellation of the stars; and upon the whole earth anguish, anxiety and distress of nations, with a state of perplexity and mental loss; standing in doubtful confusion as what to do, being in a bewilderment, having no way out; because of the loud roaring of the sea and the waves being in a roaring vibration; men’s hearts failing them for fear and having an apprehension, an expectation and an arrival; looking after those things which are coming on the land of the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be moved and shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and abundant, great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then raise, look up and lift up your heads; for on this account, your deliverance and full redemption approaches and is drawing near. Luke 21:25-28.

And when He had spoken these things, while they were beholding, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly and were gazing intently into the sky of heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand gazing and looking up into the sky of heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into the sky of heaven, shall so come in like fashion and manner, as ye have seen Him go into the sky of heaven.
Acts 1:9-11.
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful and trustworthy witness and the first begotten and firstborn of the dead and the first prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us and exclusively washed us from our sins and offences in His own blood; and hath made us kings, with a realm and kingdom to reign and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory, honor, praise, worship and vigor dominion, power and strength forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. Amen. Lo and Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him and they also which pierced Him: and all kindred’s of the earth shall lament, mourn, beat the breast in grief and wail because of Him. Even so, Amen, Yes, Surely and True. I who Exist; am, Alpha, the first and Omega, the last and finality; the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty, the All-Ruling, Omnipotent, Absolute and Universal Sovereign. Revelation 1:5-8.

As The Days Of Noah & The Coming Of The Son Of Man
But even as, exactly like and just as the days of the patriarch Noah, after and in this manner and fashion, will be also and even the parousia; the coming near and aspect in the physical presence of the Son of Man. Even as, exactly like and just as, in the days that were before the inundation of the flood, they were eating and drinking; marrying and giving in marriage, until the day the patriarch Noah entered into the ark and knew not, until the inundation of the flood came and took them all away; so also, in this manner will be, the parousia; the coming near and aspect in the physical presence of the Son of Man. Matthew 24:37-39.
And just inasmuch, according to, even as it was in the days of the patriarch Noah, after that in this like manner, on this fashion, so shall it be, in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that the patriarch Noah entered into the ark and the inundation of the flood came and fully destroyed them all. Likewise, similar and also, in that manner as it was in the day of the patriarch Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought in the market place, they sold and bartered, they planted in the earth, they were house-builders. But, moreover, the same day that the patriarch Lot went out of Sodom, it rained a lightning fiery fire and a sulfurous brimstone, from the sky of heaven and destroyed, and caused them all to perish. Even like and even thus, in the same way and manner, shall it be, in the day when the Son of Man is disclosed and revealed. Luke 17:26-30.
Watch Ye Therefore
Watch and be vigilant to be awake, therefore and accordingly, for you do not know what instant the hour of time your Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Master will appear and come. But know this, that if the head of the family, the master of the house, had known what manner of being on watch or guard, the thief and stealer would come, he would have kept a vigilant watchfulness and would not have permitted or left home, and suffered his house and home to be broken into and burglarized. Therefore, you be ready, prepared and adjusted, for in an hour of time as you seem not to think and to give account, the Son of Man appears and comes. Matthew 24:42-44.
Watch, keep awake and be vigilant, therefore and accordingly, for you do not know when the Master, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Lord of the house and home comes, at evening, the close of the day, or at midnight, or at the third watch of the cock crowing, or in the dawn, the day-break of the morning. Lest coming suddenly and unexpectedly, He finds you sleeping and lying down to rest. And what I say and put forth to you, I say unto all, even and the whole; to keep awake, be vigilant and watchful. Mark 13:35-37.
And take heed, beware and have regard to yourselves, lest or perhaps at any time, your heart, your thoughts and feelings be overcharged, pressed and weighted down with a seizure of pain of a headache, from a drunkenness of intoxication and from the care of this present life existence; so that day come upon you unexpected, suddenly and unawares. For in the manner, as a fastened trap and a tricked snare, shall it come on all them that dwell, reside and remain on the surface of the land, of the whole earth. Watch, keep awake, therefore and accordingly, pray, petition and make a request and beg as for oneself, always at every occasion and time, that you may be accounted, deemed entirely deserving and worthy, to escape and flee from all these things, that shall come to pass and to stand in front of, before, in the sight and presence of the Son of Man. Luke 21:34-36.
The Day Of The Lord
And I will bring forth a rare event, so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder; for it will be in the elevated area of the sky, in heaven above and a token and sign of these events will be throughout the entire regions under the surface of the soil, of all the land of the world, in the earth beneath; for it will be a visible wonder of flowing substance like blood and of flashes of lightning and fire, with a mist of vapor of smoke: The rising of the sun in the east and the rays of light, will become as an outlining shadow and shall be turned into darkness, and the bright shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color; before that great, mighty and notable, visible day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority will come: Acts 2:19-20.
The Last Trumpet Of God
Lo! Behold and See, I show you a silent mystery and secret; We shall not all sleep or slumber, but we all, everyone, shall be changed and made different. In a moment, in an indivisible atom of time, in the instant and twinkling jerk of the eye, at a side glance; at the farthest and final, latter and last, the ends of and the latter end of the uttermost, at the sound of the blast of a trumpet; for this reason, the dead shall be raised and aroused to be wakened to an un-decaying essence and an incorruptible immortality and we all shall be changed and made different. I Corinthians 15:51-52.
For the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master, Himself, shall descend from heaven with a shout and a cry of incitement, with the tone of voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of the very exceeding God and the dead in Christ, the Anointed, shall rise first. Then and afterwards, we who are alive and remain, and survive; at the same time shall be seized; catch away and caught up; plucked and pulled; taken by force, abruptly and hastily, with suddenness and quickness; together with them in the clouds to meet, with a claim for oneself, with a friendly encounter, the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master, in the blowing air and so shall we ever more and always be with the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master. Wherefore and thus therefore, call near to comfort one another with these words of reasoning and subject of thought. I Thessalonians 4:16-18.
The Lord Will Come As A Thief In The Night
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly, full well and thoroughly, that the day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority will come as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace, quietness and safety with security; then suddenly and unexpectedly, destruction will come upon them, as travail and birth pains upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ; Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11.
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts; And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and roar, and the elements shall be destroyed and melt with fervent heat; the earth also, and the labors, and works that are therein shall be burned up and completely consumed. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved and destroyed, What manner of persons ought ye to be living in holy and sacred behavior and godliness; awaiting, anticipating and looking for with speed, earnestly awaiting and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, destroyed, and the elements shall burn and melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. II Peter 3:1-13.
The 6th Seal – The Wrath Of The Lamb
The 6th Seal: [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal; and, lo, behold, there was a great, mighty and large earthquake and a commotion of the ground; and the light of the sun, from the rising in the east, became black as the garments of sackcloth made of hair, and the whole disc of the moon became in the manner and similar to blood; [13] And the stars, stretching over the sky of heaven, fell on the regions of the earth, in the manner as a fig tree drops her unripe and untimely figs, when she is being shaken of a great and mighty gale of wind. [14] And the sky of heaven rent apart, departed and separated as a writing scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain as being lifted above the plain; and every isle and island were moved in motion out of their original places. [15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid and concealed themselves in the dens, caves and caverns of the masses of the rocks of the mountains, being lifted above the plain; [16] And said to the mountains, being lifted above the plain and masses of rocks, Fall down upon us, and hide with a covering to keep us in secret from the face of Him who is seated upon the throne, and from the violent passion and justifiable wrath of the Lamb: [17] For the great and mighty day of His violent passion and abhorrence, anger and justifiable wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? [Revelation 6:12-17].
The Seven Trumpets And The Seven Vials Of The Wrath Of God
1st Trumpet: The first angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there followed hail and a fire mixed and mingled with a blood-like substance and they were cast and poured upon the earth: and the third part of the trees were burned down and completely burnt up; and all green herbage, grass and vegetation were completely consumed and burned down to the ground. [Rev. 8:7].

[Rev. 16:2].
********************
2nd Trumpet: And the second angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and it was in a manner as it were a great mountain being lifted above the plain, set on fire, burning and consuming, was cast and thrown with intense violence into the sea: and the third part of the sea became as similar to blood; And the third part of the created things which were in the sea, and had life, began to die off; and the third part of the shipping vessels were destroyed.

As the Comet hits the earth’s atmosphere, the dust particles will appear to be falling stars and the poison within the comet will be mixed into the clouds, falling with the rain. It will probably fall on the Old World countries of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa, or one third of the earth.

4th Trumpet: And the fourth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and the third part of the light, as the eastern sun, was inflicted and smitten in a calamity; and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, as stretching across the sky; so as a result, the third part of them was darkened and obscure; and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the night likewise in a similar manner.

And human beings were burned and scorched with a great and mighty burning, glowing heat; and they began to blaspheme and speak evil and defame, the name of the very exceeding great God; who has the authority, mastery and power over this stroke of a calamity and these plagues: and they did not repent or think differently or reconsider to give Him glory, honor and worshipful praise.

Woe, Woe, Woe Unto The Inhabitants Of The Earth
The 1st Woe!!!
Revelation 8: [13] And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
This is a link:
01. Revelation 8:13
5th Trumpet: [1] And the fifth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and I saw a star fall down from the sky of heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key to the lock of the depthless abyss, the infernal deep and the bottomless pit. [2] And he opened up the holes in the ground, the cisterns and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the bottomless pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground; in the manner as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace; and the sunlight as rising in the east and the blowing air from its’ original place was darkened from the smoke of the holes in the ground, the cisterns, the wells, the abyss and the pit. [3] And there came out, and escaped, and spread abroad from the smoke, locusts upon the whole ground, land and regions of the earth: and unto them was given authority, liberty, mastery and power, in the manner of scorpions of the earth with a sting, which have power, force and strength. [4] And it was commanded them that, they should not hurt or injure the grass or herbage and vegetation of the earth, neither any greenish thing, neither any tree; but only those human beings who have not the true seal of protection, of the very exceeding God, in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was commanded and given them, that they should not outright destroy and kill or slay them, but for the intent and purpose to torture, cause pain and vex them, that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was in the manner as the torment of a stinging scorpion, when a scorpion hits and strikes, to sting a human being. [6] And in those days shall human beings seek death, and shall not be able to find it; and shall desire to obtain to die and being able to die off, or be slain and death shall escape, flee and vanish from them. [7] And the shapes and resemblance of the locusts, were like the manner unto horses ready and prepared unto battle or a series of warfare; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of human beings. [8] And they had hair, as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the same manner as the teeth of lions. [9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sounding tone of their wings, was as the sound of chariots of a great many horses running with hast to battle or a series of warfare. [10] And they had tails in the like manner, unto a stinging scorpion and they had stinging, pricking tails: and their force, mastery and power were to hurt and injure human beings for five months. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the depthless, infernal abyss, the deep bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue, is Abaddon, that is, a destroying angel; but in the Greek tongue, his name is Apollyon; a destroyer. [12] One woe is past; and, lo, behold, there come two woes more, hereafter. [Revelation 9:1-12].

*
When the “fifth angel sounds” the “fifth trumpet,” he is given “the key” which opens the “bottomless pit.” The “bottomless pit” is the interior of the earth. The only way to open into the interior of the earth is to open the surface of the earth’s crust. Upon the surface of the earth, there are volcanic vents. When there remains “five months” before the end of the Great Tribulation Period, this angel is given authority from God to open these pathways beneath the surface, where certain demonic beings dwell. From this study, it is possible to determine, these demons have made an appearance upon the earths’ surface in ancient times and now, from the hundreds, perhaps even several thousand erupting volcanoes, they will escape from the bottomless pit along the earth’s tectonic boundaries, from these volcanic vents for the sole purpose of tormenting lost humanity. The saved will be present during this fifth trumpet (1st woe) and the sixth trumpet (2nd woe); until the seventh trumpet (3rd woe) sounds, which announces the Rapture of all the saved from the earth.
These demons are from the group associated with Michael the archangel, while they were still perfect. After their fall, they became “evil” spiritual beings, called demons. They will cause the earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth, in order to torment and destroy humanity.

The 2nd Woe!!!
Revelation 9: [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
This is a link:
01. Revelation 9:12
6th Trumpet: [13] And the sixth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar and place of sacrifice which is before the very exceeding God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Unloose the four angels which are in bonds, in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were unloosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay, to kill outright and destroy the third part of human beings. [16] And the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; that is, two hundred million: and I heard the number of them. [17] And thus, I saw the horses in the inspired appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest and breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a sulfurous brimstone. [18] By these three was the stroke, calamity and plague that caused the third part of human beings to be outright killed and slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the yellow sulfurous like-brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. [19] For their power and force is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were in the like manner and similar to a malicious snake or serpent, and had heads, and with them they do hurt and injure. [20] And the rest and remaining of the human beings which were not killed and slain by these strokes of calamity and plagues, yet repented not, nor reconsidered their thoughts, to think differently of the work and labor of their hands, that they should not and in no wise fall down to pay homage, give reverence, adore and worship demonic beings, as a deity and an image of an idol of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorcery and witchcraft, nor of their harlotry and fornication, nor of their thefts. [Revelation 9:13-21].
It is a possibility, this 6th trumpet occurs a few months before the Rapture of the saved, since the previous 5th trumpet may indicate the remaining 5 months of a Biblical 30 day period to the end of the Great Tribulation Period, including the 45 days of the Wrath of God (the seven vials). Therefore, the 5th trumpet is 150 days in length, minus the 45 days during the Wrath of God (the seven vials) and if the 7th trumpet (the Rapture occurs on the blowing of the 7th or last trump) is proportional at 35 days, it leaves 70 days in which the saved will still be on the earth during this 6th trumpet event. The events detailing the drying up of the Euphrates River occurs after the Rapture and a few weeks before the end of the Great Tribulation Period.
These riders upon the horses are “spirits” associated with the angel Gabriel while they were still perfect. After their fall, they are called “demons.” The horses are “spirits” associated with the angel Lucifer while they were still perfect. After the fall, they are called “demons.” These two groups of demonic beings are working together to use the earth, by way of shifting the earth’s crust to produce earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to destroy humanity upon it… There are presently about 6,793,622,290 people upon the earth… and increases almost 9,000 an hour.. (01/01/2010)
After The Great Tribulation Period there may far less than 1 billion people who will still be alive to enter into the 1,000 year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
*
From the previous trumpet, we learn the pathway to the “bottomless pit” has been opened, which are volcanic vents, leading downward into the earths’ interior and has allowed certain warrior type demonic beings to escape and roam freely upon the earth for the purpose of tormenting the spiritual lost for the remaining five months before the end of the Great Tribulation Period. The 5th trumpet is a worldwide event, while the 6th trumpet is a local event, because it is related to the “great river Euphrates” with the primary fact “and the water thereof was dried up,” as indicated on the 6th Vial. Even though the headwaters of the Euphrates River begin in the mountains of Turkey, the true force of the river flows through Syria and Iraq. To better define the statement, “and the water thereof was dried up,” it would be logical to ask the question, “Where did the water go?”
In order for the waters of the Euphrates River to dry up as it flows through Syria and Iraq, there must have been something happen to the headwaters system. As long as the rain falls from the sky, it has to flow somewhere on a downward path. The simplest way to dry up any water path, such as a creek, stream or river, is to change or divert the path it has been flowing. The main emphasis of the Great Tribulation Period has been “EARTHQUAKES” and the local or worldwide effect. The counties of Turkey, Lebanon and Israel have had many large earthquakes in the past. When this sixth angel pours out the vial of wrath upon the Euphrates River, the effect will cause a collapse of the underling layers of rock strata south of the rivers’ headwaters and it will be diverted from its’ present southeast flow through Syria, Iraq and into the Persian Gulf to a southwest direction through Syria, Lebanon and Israel, into the Jordan River and finally into the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea.
When the Euphrates River is diverted southwest through the collapsed Palmyride folds, caused by the earthquake activity in the area, the Euphrates River will begin flowing into the Jordan River. This great river will flow west into the Mediterranean Sea and south into the Gulf of Aqaba. This river is described in the vision of Ezekiel, concerning the geological changes in the land of Israel during the Millennial Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6th Vial: And the sixth angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the running water thereof was dried up; that the way, journey and route of the kings of the eastern rising of the sun, might be prepared and made ready. And he gathered, collected and led them together into a place for a purpose, called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon or Har-Meggiddon, that is, Megiddo. [Rev. 16:12&16].
When the Islamic – (Arab) – (Antichrist) – leader, along with the ten Arab confederation of nations and the other Eurasian nations who respond to his call for the Battle of Armageddon, it will be getting near the time in which the Lord will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Lord will cause the Mount of Olives to split in two and the western section of Jerusalem will be lifted, exposing a newly formed spring. This will be the spring in which the Prophet Ezekiel mentions and will flow east to connect with the Jordan River, which has been increased to a great river, because the Euphrates River has been diverted to form this single mighty river.
Ezekiel 47: [1] Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. [2] Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. [3] And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. [4] Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. [5] Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. [6] And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. [7] Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. [8] Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. [9] And it shall come to pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh. [10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. [11] But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. [12] And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
Zechariah 14: [1] Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. [3] Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [4] And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. [5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. [6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: [7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. [8] And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. [10] All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
After all the geological changes have occurred, resulting in the diverted Euphrates River and the new spring from Jerusalem, the Jordan River will begin to flow out of the Dead Sea into the Gulf of Aqaba. The Sinai Peninsula will be pushed into the African continent allowing this new river to flow freely. The Sinai Peninsula is “the tongue of the Egyptian sea.” The earthquake that occurs when the Mount of Olives splits in half will cause the southern section of the Dead Sea Fault Zone to also split apart and/or possibly subside, allowing the Jordan River to flow south into the Gulf of Aqaba and finally into the Red Sea.
Isaiah 11: [15] And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry-shod. [16] And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 47: [10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
When the Euphrates River, the Jordan River and Ezekiel’s spring combine their water sources, in addition to hundreds, perhaps thousands of newly formed springs, along with the transformation of the southern end of the Dead Sea Fault Zone, the “New River” will be able to support an abundance of freshwater fish for the 1,000 years in which Israel will become the breadbasket of the world.

The 3rd Woe!!!
Revelation 11: [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
This is a link:
01. Revelation 11:14
There is a very important question in which we should ask? Is this 7th trumpet, the last trump as was mentioned by the Apostle Paul concerning the “Rapture” of the saved? It would seem like “common sense”, to assume if there was a “last trump,” then there must be trumpets which have already sounded. Therefore, with just basic “common sense”, how about making a simple determination: The “Rapture” of the saved will be on the “last trump or the seventh trumpet of the seven angels.”
Revelation 8: [1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8: [6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded;
I Corinthians 15: [51] Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
I Thessalonians 4: [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
What can we learn from these verses of Scripture and from the following verses in Revelation 11:15-19 and try to make some practical “common sense” of the matter:
1. There are seven angels standing before God.
2. Apparently, it would be correct to assume, it is God personally who has given a trumpet to each of the seven angels.
3. The seven angels each have a trumpet and at a certain time period in the future, are ready to sound the trumpet.
4. The 1st angel sounds: Revelation 8: [7] The first angel sounded.
5. The 2nd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [8] And the second angel sounded.
6. The 3rd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [10] And the third angel sounded.
7. The 4th angel sounds: Revelation 8: [12] And the fourth angel sounded.
8. The 5th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [1] And the fifth angel sounded.
9. The 6th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [13] And the sixth angel sounded.
10. The 7th angel sounds: Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded.
11. The Apostle Paul is about to reveal a mystery.
12. Those dead carnal natures of saved souls in the grave are about to be changed.
13. In a moment of time, as fast as the eye can blink, at the last trump.
14. A trumpet will sound and the mystery takes place.
15. The dead are raised from the corruption of the grave and are changed.
16. The Lord descends from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trump of God. (What does the Lord do with this trump of God? Is is a new trump or is it a trump already given to one of the angels? Perhaps one of the seven? It is a “special trump” for a “special purpose?”)
17. The dead carnal natures of the saved are raised.
18. The living saved souls are caught up with those previously raised.
19. They are together with the Lord.
20. The 7th angel sounds and there are great voices in heaven making a proclamation.
21. This proclamation declares the coming fact of the kingdoms of this earthly world are about to become under the Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
22. The nations of the earthly world are angry, because the wrath of God is about to take place.
23. Before the wrath occurs, there is a time of the judging of the dead and to distribute rewards in the spiritual kingdom.
24. The purpose of the wrath of God will be to destroy those of humanity who have morally corrupted the earth. (And should destroy them which destroy the earth.) The Greek word for the second English word “destroy” has to do with morality. It can be translated as: and destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused it to become thoroughly rotten.
25. The temple of God is made visible to the Apostle John.
26. On the earth, there are certain geological events: and there were lightning and voices, and thundering and an earthquake, and great hail.
7th Trumpet: And the seventh angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there were great and mighty tones of sounds and voices in heaven, saying; The royalty of rule and the realm of the kingdoms of this orderly arrangement of the world, including its’ inhabitants, are become the kingdoms of our Lord and Master, the One in Supreme Authority and of His Christ, the Anointed One; and He shall reign and rule as King forever and ever, as the age of the Messianic period, to the perpetual ages of ages. And the four and twenty elders of the celestial council, who sat before, in the sight and in the presence of the very exceeding God on their seats, fell upon their faces and worshipped Deity; the very exceeding great God and made adoration to Him, Saying, We give thee thanks and express gratitude to Thee, O Lord, Supreme One in Authority, Deity; God Almighty, All-Ruling One, Omnipotent and Absolute, Universal Sovereign, which art Being, and was I, and art to come; because you have taken by force and miraculous power; to thee, thy great and mighty power, and have begun to reign and rule as King. And the nations and the human race of all pagans, are provoked and enraged to anger; and thy justifiable, violent wrath and punishment is come; and the proper time of the dead, that they should be judged and to give payment for service, hire, wages and rewards unto thy slaves, bond servants the prophet, those inspired speakers and to the saints, the set apart ones and them that are in awe and fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused it to become thoroughly rotten. And the temple of Deity; the very exceeding great God; was opened in the abode of heaven and there was seen and appeared in His shrine and temple, the sacred ark of His contract, covenant and testament; and there were bright, glaring, shining lightning; and a tone of sounds, noises, voices and thundering; and an earthquake, a shaking, a commotion and tempest; and exceedingly great, large, mighty hail. [Rev. 11:15-19].

7th Vial: And the seventh angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial into the blowing air; and there came a great and mighty voice out of the shrine and temple of the sky of heaven, from the abode of God, from the throne of power, saying: “It is done!” “It hath come!” And there were voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and a bright, shining glare, lightning’s; and there was an exceeding great, large and mighty earthquake and earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a commotion and tempest; such as this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not since human beings were upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so exceedingly great, large and mighty, so full of power. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the Gentile, heathen and pagan people fell down: and great Babylon, the capital of tyranny, came in remembrance as to recall, to be mindful to punish, before Deity; the very exceeding great God; to give unto her the cupful of the wine of the passionate fierceness and indignation of His wrath. And every and all; even the whole of isles and islands fled away and vanished; and the mountains, as lifting itself above the plain, were not and could not be obtained or found; and there descended and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty hail out of the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like: and human beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of Deity; the very exceeding great God; because of the plague, stroke and calamity of the hail; for the plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in high degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible. [Rev.16:17-21].
The following USGS Websites are excellent, with regards to Earthquake data. Hope you will check them out… This information will help you to understand, how God will use the Earth to bring about His judgment upon humanity during The Great Tribulation Period…
For a better understanding of the word “hail, as mentioned in Revelation 8:7; 11:15-19 and 16:17-21, just do some research on the words: Volcanic Bomb.

Here are two additional useful links:
Destroy them which destroy the earth. (To bring to ruin) them which (morally corrupt) the earth. Revelation 11:18b.
Check out these two Websites to see how God will use the “blood like-substance” or the “blood of the earth” to put an end to the gross immorality of humanity… When the great earthquakes really begin to happen, the surface of the earth will crack open and the “burning hot magma” from the interior of the earth will literally “burn” humanity from off the surface of the earth… God will use the earth to bring about the fulfillment of His Biblical Prophecies…
A Blood-Like Substance Arises From Under The Earth
In The Jordan River Valley
Outside The City Of Jerusalem
And the angel thrust with intense violence, his gathering hook and sickle for harvesting, into the earth and gathered the vine and vintage of the earth and cast and threw it into the great trough, wine-vat and winepress of the fierce indignation and wrath of Deity; the very exceeding great God. And the great trough, wine-vat and winepress was trodden without the city and a blood-like substance came out of the winepress, even up to the horse bridle-bits, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (1,600 furlongs times, 606.75 Greek feet, divided by 5,280 English feet, equals 183.86 miles). Revelation 14:19-20.

If you really want to see how God will use the earth to bring about The Great Tribulation Period; just watch some of these videos. Listen to the roaring thunder of the Volcanic Eruption and watch the lava flow across the earth’s surface. Watch the volcanic bombs or hail, as mentioned in the Bible, falling from the air, during the eruption.
You can also watch other videos on the Internet about: Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanic Lightning, Volcano Lava, Submarine Volcano, etc. Just enter any of these subjects in the Video Section of an Internet Search.
