I think I've discovered something huge about the 7 trumpets of Reverlation. What if I told you that I believe all 7 trumpets have ALREADY sounded?
What John wrote to describe the 5th Trumpet is a jawdropping match compared to what's written in Joel 2 describing the day of the Lord during the OT.
Joel 2:1-10, he describes the same locusts John saw in Revelation 9:1-12, the first woe... ready for the kicker?
Joel 2:2 says the locusts are "strong; there hath not been ever the like, *neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.*"
That had to to be the 5th trumpet then, no?
There's another kicker.. Shortly after, Joel 2:28 says
"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, 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."
Jesus coming earth WAS the earths sign of the 7th Trumpet:
"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." -Revelation 12:5
What are your thoughts my dear brother?
really good stuff.
matthew 28:18-20 "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying ,ALL POWER IS GIVEN INTO ME in HEAVEN AND IN EARTH. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the HOLY GHOST: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even UNTO THE END of the world. Amen."
then Jesus is taken up to Heaven...
Revelation 5:5-6 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, HATH PREVAILED to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, STOOD A LAMB AS IT HAD BEEN SLAIN, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God SENT FORTH INTO ALL THE EARTH."
Jesus receiving all the authority He spoke of in matthew in Heaven, when He ascended to the throne when " stephen and others saw Him seated on the throne in Heaven at God s right hand Long before revelation was written. This leads to basically His coronation in Heaven
V11-And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12Saying with a loud voice, WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING 13And every creature which is in HEAVEN, and on the EARTH, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, BLESSING, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and POWER, be unto him that sitteth UPON THE THRONE, and UNTO THE LAMB FOREVER AND EVER . 14And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty ELDERS fell down and WORSHIPPED HIM that LIVETH for ever and ever."
Jesus says " Luke 10:17- 20 "
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning FALL FROM HEAVEN. 19Behold, I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."
revelation 12 :And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to HIS THRONE......7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And the great dragon was CAST OUT, that old serpent, called the Devil, and SATAN, which DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD: he was CAST INTO THE EARTH, and his angels were cast out with him.
10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
When Jesus was born remember satan came and tried to tempt Him 3 times? Herod tried to destroy Him at Birth, and persecuted the church of rome for 3oo years after Jesus was resurrected.....
