Chapter Eight,
The Tribulation ends,
Rev. 8:1-6
In my previous posts I showed "the tribulation begins" and then had to formalize the mapping of Chapter Eight because I could not remember which version of Rev. 8:1-6 I was doing. But now that the mapping is complete, then it is easy to see.
4) Rev. 8:7-13, tribulation begins and linking to Chapter Six in "I" below
1) Rev. 8:1-6, tribulation ends with the midpoint linking to Chapter Fifteen in "II" below (THIS ONE)
2) Rev. 8:7-13, judgment begins and linking to Chapter Sixteen in "II" below
3) Rev. 8:1-6, judgment ends and linking to Chapter Eleven in "II" below
Rev. 8:1-6, And when he had opened the seventh seal, (Here the beast and false prophet have been destroyed and the saints are gathered as noted in Rev. 15:2-4)
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (Meaning that there is no warfare taking place after the winepress of Rev. 14:17-20 and Rev. 19:20-21 wherein the beast and his false prophet were destroyed.)
a) 2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; (These are the seven angels of Rev. 15:1)
and to them were given seven trumpets. (The trumpets are judgments that in Chapter fifteen are called the seven last plagues. And some researchers refer to these judgments as bowls.)
b)3And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; (This is Rev. 15:7 where the angel is called one of the four beasts. Remember that the four beasts are the Father, Son, Angel, and John. So the angel of Rev. 8:3 is one of these four. Since this angel does not have the loud voice, then it is either Jesus or John. Since it was given him as indicated in part "c", then this angel is John. This is the beginning of placing Lucifer in chains as indicated in Rev. 20:1-3.)
c) 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. (The incense is referred to as "vials of wrath in Rev. 15:7. These are judgments. Therefore, the incense is seven judgments that are explained in Chapter Sixteen. The golden altar is the earth that is before the throne of God.)
d) 4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. (In this verse the smoke of the incense is the power and judgment of God Almighty coming to the earth in the judgment era. The 144,000 are endowed with power to conduct the judgment via the Savior. This is accessed via the sealing of the 144,000 to the Savior as referenced in Rev. 7:4-8.)
c) 5And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: (And the angel, that is one of the four of Rev. 1:1, (John), took the judgments of God with the power of God and gave that power to the 144,000 to conduct judgment upon the earth. This is referenced in Rev. 5:6,
b) and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (Thus the voices of the 144,000 and the thunderings of God cheered for the cleaning of the earth from all wickedness. And this is the AWSOME VERSE in Chapter Fifteen.
a) 6And the seven angels (the 144,000) which had the seven trumpets (which had the seven judgments of God) prepared themselves to sound. (Prepared themselves to judge the population of the earth.)
