Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
I would sure like to know how this could possibly happen in the first century,that an army of that size,200,000,000 men,could go against another group of people who would have to range in the millions of people,and describes weapons that are not swords and spears,but weapons of mass destruction,that sounds like nuclear weapons,that takes out one third of the population of the world.
How could a group of people come up with an army that size,and fight against another army that is great in size,and use weapons of mass destruction,and cause one third of the population of the world to perish.Was their fighting so terrible in that area that people on the other side of the world were dying from the shock wave going through the earth.
How can that be explained back in the first century,that an army of 200,000,000 men could even be assembled,and go against other people,and use weapons of that caliber.
Jerusalem is so tiny,and Israel,that the Roman Empire did not have to use that big of an army to go against them,especially when God was allowing the Roman Empire to go against them for rejecting Christ,so they did not have God's protection like when they were in the truth,and there was no way that an army of people that size could be assembled,that would be liked minded,and have the same agenda,to go against others that did not have their agenda.
But it does make sense today,when a big group of people rebel against what the world is doing when they say Peace and safety,when the nations come together trying to achieve peace on earth,and there is a unified religious system that offends fundamental Christianity,Islam,and Judaism,for their belief in a personal God exclusive to others,for that big group will be against the world,and nuclear weapons will fly and cause one third of the population of the world to perish.
For it does not make sense in the first century,and even the smartest person ever to exist cannot figure out how it could happen back then.
I believe it is the religion of Islam for they offend them by the way they operate,and stifle them from going forth to extend their religion,and their ways,and they are pitted against the world,which is what the man of sin wants,to take down the big three that belief in a personal God,Islam first before the beast claims to be God,Christianity when he claims to be God,and when the saints are off the world,going against Israel.
Act 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
The Bible is for the simple man,for they are the ones that will accept it,and people that would be intelligent according to the course of the world will fall short in understanding all it says.It is God that gives the wisdom,not the wisdom of the world,and how they look at things from a different perspective.
