I'm wondering if Joel 2 and Revelation 9 are speaking about the same things. But I see what you were explaining.
I made a small boo boo, I stated king of Persa, then king of Greece and Rome because you called him a king, I know you meant the Prince of Persia (Dan 10), so that makes it seems like I contradicted myself, saying hes never a KING on this earth thus he has NO CROWNS, but in fact, he was called the PRINCE of Persia, in other words, he's UNDER Satan. (Felt I needed to get that corrected)
You are on the right track, let me explain where we see Joel 2 in the book of Revelation.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that
I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams(1), your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And
I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(2)
31 The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood(3), before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
1.) Israel repents and thus God pours out his spirit on them.
2.) An Asteroid hits the earth, pillars of smoke from the impact and burning trees gets in the jetstream and travels the world.
3.) This will cause the Sun and Moon to be dimmed by all the smoke, and the moon will appear to be BLOOD RED from all the fires. The Day of the Lord starts with this ASTEROID IMPACT, this happens IN THE PRESENCE (as in BEFORE a King's Face) of the day of the Lord, the word used actually means FACE, so these events happen in the FACE or before the kings face so to speak, OR just in the presence of the Day of the Lord, not BEFORE the DOTL gets here. The old Hebrew has to be studied, it's a primitive language.
Now, I will show you where all these things happen in the book of Revelation.
Rev. 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Ever wonder why the 7th Seal is in chapter 8 AFTER the 144,000 are protected (3-5 million Jews) by God in Petra/Bozrah for 42 months? Because this is the coming DAY OF THE LORD Event. The Seals actually DO NOTHING, they are Jesus prophesying (like Joel did) what would come when this asteroid finally hits the earth.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Notice, Jesus says nothing after the 7th Seal like he did with the first 6, but we are just shown the Angels readying the 7 Trumpet Judgments instead. The Prayers of the Saints are offered in Heaven, that would include the Two-witnesses down on earth who PRAY DOWN all the plagues during the 70th week. The Angel cast FIRE down on earth, and there was VOICES/LIGHTENING, and an Earthquake. (an Asteroid Impact, but before that FIRE.)
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up
Scientists have confirmed that just before an Asteroid make IMPACT, Fire comes down ahead of it, so the First Trumpet Judgment is FIRE, and 1/3 of the trees burn up and all the grasses.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Now the Asteroid makes IMPACT. (Mountain cast into the Sea), notice it's on FIRE, and thus a 1/3 part of the sea becomes blood, 1/3 of the creatures die, 1/3 of the ships perished. I actually think the 1/3 is a DESCRIPTION of where this asteroid hits. This asteroid heading our way named Apophis would likely hit just off the California Coastline near Mexico if it hits (I think it will for sure). Thus it hits in the the Pacific Ocean in the Americas. The Pacific Ocean has 1/3 of all the waters on the face of the earth, and the Two Americas (North and South) also have 1/3 of all the Landmass on the earth, so I pers9nally think the 1/3 is a HUGE CLUE as per to where this hits. Naturally, Jesus is going t reign from Jerusalem, so I don't think he could have picked out a better location to semi protect Israel/Jerusalem from this devastation.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Here we are told about the EXACT SAME IMPACT again, but why? Notice it's called Wormwood, a STAR but w saw verse 2 called the Mountain out as being on fire, so why show it twice? This is about the Nuclear Fallout from the IMPACT, which poisons the fresh waters over 1/3 of the world, or in the Pacific realm. (WORMWOOD = POISON).
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the
third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
The above simply shows what Joel 2:31 prophesied, but also what Jesus prophesied via the 6th Seal. The SEALS DO NOTHING !! All of God's Wrath comes via the 7 Trumps.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice
, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
So, the Angel just told us above, the LAST THREE WOES are the LAST THREE Trumps.
So, Trumet #5 is the First Woe. Trumpet #6 is the 2nd Woe and Trumpet #7 is the 3rd Woe, which is ALL 7 Vials.
So, Joel chapter 2 is indeed seen in Rev. 8, Rev. 9, and Rev 16.
