It’s time to highlight the earthly events at the beginning of the third trumpet and to find out who belongs to the wise and foolish virgins, respectively. The eagle of calamity makes his threefold cry of woe before the key is transferred to the terrible lord of the harvest from the bottomless pit. Then the sun and the air are darkened by the smoke from the great infernal furnace, and the age of the Scorpions begins.
Another beast ascends from the bottomless pit, and many will wonder at his strange form. Before we dissect the locusts in the next (and last) article of this series and find out what genetics they have, we prepare a prophetic surgical tray and solve the riddle of the beasts in the Book of Revelation.
Joel told us that we must see blood, fire and pillars of smoke parallel to the heavenly signs. On July 19, 2017, just a few hours before the appearance of the star-lamp,[1] a new player appeared in the top headlines, loudly calling out what Jesus had prophesied to us. The voice came from the theocratic government of Iran and complained about the US “poisoning the international atmosphere ". The United States had recently adopted new sanctions[2] that made Iran angry.
For example, Middle East Eye:
Iran hits back at new US sanctions
Iran has slammed the US for a introducing a new round of sanctions and has vowed to introduce its own sanctions against “American people and entities that have acted against the Iranian people and other Muslim peoples of the region”.
Zarif accused the Trump administration of failing to lift sanctions in line with the deal, in an effort to “poison the international atmosphere”.
Who’s threatening whom with poison, I steer clear of as a Christian. The fact is, the words of Iran’s Foreign Minister reflect exactly what the Lord had foretold.
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. (Revelation 8:11)
The nations are becoming increasingly bitter. Iran, through which the third part of the water of Eden flows, is also an important player in the Syrian conflict, where many world powers are meanwhile already involved, fighting each other in a proxy war. Iran will be poisoned with a burning hatred against the Western world.
I mention this because the sixth trumpet speaks of the loosening of the four angels who were bound at a certain river, which also flows through Syria.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 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. (Revelation 9:13-15)
The US, Russia, Iran and NATO, apart from Syria itself, are probably the four winds that are still held back before the Third World War breaks out precisely in this extremely dangerous region. No one can deny anymore, that a single spark is enough to ignite the chaos that will bring suffering over humanity like a woman's birth pangs.
It is almost impossible to write about all the different events at the beginning of the third trumpet, because they are so numerous in these days. The beginning of the third trumpet, as has been often mentioned, is on a throne line, which means it is a timeframe of eight days. Of course, we pay close attention to the events on the days of the first and second throne lines.
And the events came pouring in, like when US President Donald Trump urged Iran on July 21, to release all unjustly detained Americans and send them back to their homeland, or there would be “new and serious consequences”.[3]
The second throne-line date was July 27, 2017, and it was definitely interesting to witness how in just a few days, Iran’s loud complaint developed into a huge demonstration of its missile power.
The old mortal enemy of the United States, Ayatollah Khomeini,[4] reappeared. No, he did not rise from the dead, but his name was back in all the headlines, because Iran had named its brand-new spaceport after the late founder of the modern Iranian state and “reformer of Islam”, and on the very day of the second throne line, launched the first successful satellite with a carrier rocket into space.[5]
Of course, the United States responded immediately, because for a long time, they were officially and unofficially arguing about who they should be more afraid of: Iran or Kim Jong-un. US State Department spokesperson, Heather Nauert, trumpeted...
“We consider that to be continued ballistic missile development… We consider this to be a provocative action.”[6]
It is also rumored that there is cooperation between the two countries in the field of long-range weapons. Iran needs nuclear warheads, which he can’t build because the US has an unfavorable agreement with him, and on the other hand, Kim Jong-un needed long-range missiles.[7]
I write “needed” because with every successful rocket launch, which can potentially demand millions of lives, the little, cheerfully-laughing fatso from the communist trouble-maker state also proved at the beginning of the third trumpet, that now he can audibly play in the saber-rattler orchestra. His rocket launch of July 28, 2017 was, according to expert opinion, actually able to turn night into day in almost any city in the USA.[8]
Have you noticed yet, that the pillars of smoke that Joel speaks about can be seen in the news, especially lately?
Have you seen enough fire and smoke at the beginning of the third trumpet?
But who shouldn’t be left out? Israel of course! And here we have the missing blood in Joel's prophecy. There were some dead at the Temple Mount[9] in between the two throne lines. The hatred between Palestinians and Jews gives plenty of food for those who are waiting for the third temple to be built before the Messiah comes. And it is a tragedy to see how many Christians believe the same thing[10]— but not the words of the Apostle Paul, unfortunately…
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:16-18)
On July 21, 2017, just one day into the throne lines, the Palestinians broke all diplomatic contacts with Israel.[11] Years of negotiations were good as gone.
One report matter-of-factly summarizes everything, showing how much the nations have already become angry at the beginning of the third trumpet. In his weekly column on July 31, 2017, Ron Paul poses a question: “President Trump seems to be impatiently racing toward at least one disastrous war. Maybe two. The big question is who will be first? North Korea or Iran?”[12]
He continues:
Over the past several days President Trump has sent two nuclear-capable B-1 bombers over the Korean peninsula to send a clear message that he is ready to attack North Korea. On Saturday he blamed China for North Korea’s refusal to cease its missile tests. He Tweeted: “I am very disappointed in China… they do nothing for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue.”
One press report from an unnamed Pentagon source claimed that President Trump “is to order a military strike against North Korea within a year,” after this weekend’s North Korean test of a longer-range missile.
Iran, which along with North Korea and Russia will face new sanctions imposed by Congress and expected to be signed into law by Trump, is also in President Trump’s crosshairs. He was reportedly furious over his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s certifying that Iran was in compliance with the nuclear deal – even though Iran was in compliance – and he seems determined to push a confrontation.
Twice in the past week the US military has fired at Iranian ships in the Persian Gulf. On Tuesday an Iranian military ship in the Persian Gulf was warned off by machine gun blasts from a US Naval vessel. Then on Friday the US Navy fired warning flares toward another Iranian ship operating in the Persian Gulf.
Imagine if the US Navy had encountered Iranian warships in the Gulf of Mexico firing machine guns at them when they approached the Iranians.
Facing new sanctions, the Iranian government announced that it will not end ballistic missile testing even under US pressure. The missile program is not a violation of the P5+1 Iran deal unless it is specifically designed to carry nuclear weapons.
So whom will Trump attack first? Let’s hope nobody, but with continuing pressure from both Democrats and Republicans over the unproven “Russiagate” allegations, it increasingly looks like he will seek relief by starting a “nice little war.” If he does so, however, his presidency will likely be over and he may end up blundering into a much bigger war in the process.
Although Trump’s bombastic rhetoric on Iran and North Korea has been pretty consistent, the American people voted Trump because he was seen as the less likely of the two candidates to get the US into a major war.
A recent study by the Boston University and the University of Minnesota concluded that Trump won the most votes in parts of the country with the highest military casualties. Those most directly suffering the costs of war were attracted to the candidate they saw as less likely to take the US into another major war. These are the Americans living in the swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan that surprised the pundits by voting for Trump over Hillary.
Will Trump’s legacy be blustering us into one or two wars that will make Iraq and Afghanistan look like cakewalks by comparison? Millions dead? It’s time to make our voices known before it’s too late!
Truly, whoever still denies that the world is facing a devastating nuclear war, has not been paying attention! The only thing Trump still withholds is that he well knows that any war with North Korea or Iran will directly lead to a world war with China, and thus also Russia. Both the Great Powers during the throne lines of the beginning of the third trumpet clearly demonstrated their strength and their willingness to cooperate in the event of war.
As the first throne line approached, we read that “Chinese navy ships will enter the Baltic Sea on Friday [July 21, 2017] for the first time to hold joint exercises with Russia.” That was one day into the throne lines.
“This is the Chinese navy's first time to enter the Baltic Sea, a high-latitude sea,” Li Jie, a Beijing-based naval expert, told the Global Times, adding that the drills will help China manage maritime threats in the future.
The Baltic Sea is a significant maritime trade route between Russia and Europe, with possible confrontations among countries, such as the US and Russia, Li said. He noted that Russia had shifted its attention from Europe to the Asia-Pacific region in recent years from US pressure, and it wants to use the region as a breakthrough to deal with the US.
The US and the Western world have powerful enemies, and it is only a matter of time until God, who is Time, will allow the buttons to be pressed to eject the ICBM jack-in-the-box riding on a fiery horse.
But enough with that! Let’s get away from all the pillars of smoke, lest we lose sight of God's message behind the smokescreen. In the fifth trumpet, we shall see exactly who still holds back the winds, and for how long—and that’s the point!
The whore, sitting on the scarlet beast,[13] attacks with cunning and trickery using certain powers—the concealed heads on the beast, which she directs in order to finally annihilate the true Christians from the earth. Behind the recent, almost sensational “disappearance” of the pope's former powerful enemies in the Vatican, such as Cardinal Ludwig Müller, only a few see the preparation for dropping a bombshell . Or should I rather say, sounding a trumpet blast?[14]
Have you thought about what this lamp of the crescent moon and a red star means yet, which falls into the springs of Eden, and why God is giving this sign? Could it be that He wants to show us what goes on behind the closed doors of the Vatican?
Yes, He gives the sign to remind us of Eden and thus, to the crown of His creation: the creation of man on the sixth day and the heterosexual marriage as the image of God. Whoever defends this image, and thereby the marriage certificate of God, the Sabbath, has the stamp of approval for the army of the Highest, which will be victorious.
Who noticed that homosexual marriage in Germany, that is, in the Old World, was approved by the Bundestag on June 30, but had to go through two further hurdles to be officially ratified by the state? Certainly without intending to do so, a Seventh-day Adventist news release helps us out—almost as if it were from the mouth of Judas personally:
Germany: Adventist Church Leaders about “Marriage for All”
August 02, 2017 | Ostfildern, Germany. | APD [Adventist Press Service], EUD NEWS.
On July 31, the Presidents of the Seventh-day Adventist Churches in Germany, Pastor Johannes Naether (Northern Division) and Pastor Werner Dullinger (Southern Division) submitted a statement regarding “Marriage for all”. On June 30, the German government decided to open marriage for same-sex couples. After the approval in the Federal Council, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier signed the law on July 20th.
Incredible! July 20, 2017 was the first day and the first throne line of the beginning of the third trumpet. What a coincidence ?!
Now read between the lines for yourself, what the “heralds of the third angel’s message” from Germany, heralded to warn against the mark of the beast and the plagues:
Democracy and dignity of others
However, the value judgment of relationships is a “sensitive issue”. “We are therefore in favour of the fact that in the controversial discussions about different lifestyle choices, our focus is always on the dignity of the person, whether heterosexual or homosexual”, emphasized the church leaders. “As a church, we respect the political decisions of our state, but as part of a democratic society and as Christians, we regard marriage as a successful and timeless model union between man and woman,” as stated in their last paragraph.
What “heroic” fighters for the cause of good! The Adventists (and not just the Germans[15]) openly admit that they have accepted/received the mark of the beast and no one notices it! Excuse me... I'm getting nauseous.[16]
We saw two signs at the beginning of the third trumpet. The “other wonder” in Revelation 12 was the attack of Hydra with its poison of false doctrines—like homosexual marriage, which destroys the image of God—against the hiding-place of the 144,000 remnant of God, which are only relatively few living beings, as we explained in the first article of our legacy series. Read about Praesepe, the beehive in Cancer, at Earthsky.org:
The Beehive’s 1,000 stars. There are approximately 1,000 stars in the beautiful Beehive cluster, which is an open cluster of stars in our galaxy. Open clusters are stars that are gravitationally bound and are created out of the same star forming nebulae such as the stars in the Orion Nebula. The Beehive is one of the nearest open clusters to our sun and Earth. It has a larger population of stars than most other nearby clusters.
There is a lot of light there, namely, light from a thousand stars that burn for millions or billions of years because they have a lot of fuel. They are in the “manger” like Jesus once was; they are similar to Him. Therefore, they stand for the wise virgins in Jesus' famous parable,[17] who have provided sufficient oil to overcome the dark time of waiting for the bridegroom. The beehive is a place of creation like the Orion Nebula, a stellar nursery. Is it a coincidence that these 1,000 stars are cataloged as M44?
The star-lamp, however, which we looked at in the last video, goes out as it falls into the waters of the springs of Eden. It stands for the lamps of the foolish virgins, who did not have enough oil, and for whom the door remained closed.[18] And at the same time, the place where they fall also explains what deceived them. They have a false notion of tolerance and they war against God while they believe they do Him a favor.
No matter what the Hydra-rider Satan does in the bodily form of Pope Francis, it makes people deaf to the call, “The Bridegroom cometh!” and therefore, they do not prepare oil. They reject the Holy Spirit, and the time to “buy” Him in the latter rain is already past. In the last days of the second trumpet, the latter rain ended. All that remains is a short time of about 1.5 months, in which the last decisions must be made. It is the time of ripening and the time of knowing whether your lamp has been supplied with enough or too little oil.
Pope Francis has bolstered the LGBT movement,[19] while washing his hands like Pontius Pilate in alleged innocence, since the Christian churches are doing their part now and opening their doors wide to admit the unclean birds. Likewise, with a simple command,[20] the supreme commander of the Jesuit army has broken down the borders of the Christian countries to welcome the invading Islamic conquerors in the form of “refugees”.
The latter is the second reason why the falling lamp of the foolish virgins goes out in the most radical Islamic country, governed by the vicious Sharia criminal law.[21] This is the second frontline on which true Christians must fight for their lives and for the preservation of the last bastion of the biblically-faithful “fundamentalists”. We warned about the Day of the Demon long ago!
The Euphrates flows through three countries: It originates in Turkey, flows through Syria and Iraq, where it unites with the Tigris to become the Shatt al-Arab, and flows along its border with Iran, where the Karun joins it. Therefore, it also touches Iran, which makes four Muslim countries. A possible fulfillment of the prophecy of the loosening of the four winds could also be that these Islamic countries (and perhaps even more) rise up against the western world. Right now, everyone is talking about the return of the great migrant crisis[22] and everyone knows that only a minority of “refugees” are women and children or elderly people. In the pictures, one sees predominantly musclebound young fighters for Allah who see western women as whores and sex slaves.[23]
The altercation between Turkey and Germany and the EU is also becoming more verbose. Now, at the beginning of the third trumpet, it can be heard from Turkey that one can “conquer Europe in three days” and that Erdogan wants to make Turkey an atomic power as soon as possible.[24] Kim Jong-un's philosophy obviously finds its imitators, and they already sit within the borders of Europe! The EU's earlier accession talks with Turkey have been suspended.[25] A complete break of the NATO alliance, in which Turkey is (still) an important partner, is imminent.[26] The Muslim dictator Erdogan is looking for new partners who have been lurking before the gates of Europe: the Russians—and soon, surely his Muslim “brothers”.
For these reasons, I would like to contrast the image of the falling star-lamp and its red star Aldebaran with another symbol. It is the symbol of Islam and the national flag of Turkey—an important part of the former Ottoman Empire, which has already played the leading role in a fifth and sixth trumpet once.[27]
Foolish are they, who deny the dangers and open their doors to Satan and his Hydra. It has many faces, and whoever lets in the body, also lets in the heads...
Do you want to be among the wise virgins? Then it’s high time to cast in your lot with the last fighters for God. Since all the mainstream Christian churches and congregations must pay tribute to the UN guidelines as non-profit organizations[28] and Pope Francis has already shown who is at the top of that “beast”,[29] you must decide! Step out of your “state subsidized” church,[30] close the door of your home, and hide in your homegroup![31] Do what John advises on behalf of God, and do not let anyone in, who does not bring the teachings of Christ—neither the LGBT-tolerant, nor the headscarf proponent. Because…
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 1:10-11)
The title of my expositions is The Shaking of the Heavens, and this series appears in the Prophecies Fulfilled section, because I want to show how the heavenly signs accompany each one of the trumpet texts. Currently, we are in the short core period of the third trumpet, but what’s coming in future trumpets is already fulfilled in the canopy of heaven, since we can “predict” the signs using planetary software with fraction-of-a-second precision —the same thing I will do, as I said, with the harvest texts in the Legacy series. So you will receive a double confirmation of what God has taught us in seven years, and no critic will be able to deny the “Sabbath truth,” which in reality is the truth about the wrath of God because of the attack on the institution of marriage and the creation of man as a man and woman. Then many will realize in the nick of time, that the end has truly come and that they must leave “Babylon” in haste.
In the fourth trumpet, shortly before the harvest of the good wheat and the bundling of the tares for burning will be over, an eagle flying through the firmament shouts:
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! (Revelation 8:13)
Although I have already described the “great sign” of the woman on September 23, 2017, in connection with the fourth trumpet in parts 3 and 4 of my Lord’s Supper sermon, I have not yet commented on the verse above. I will do that now...
At the end of the wheat harvest, God intensifies His warnings of the birth pangs. We want to do so also, and we would like to ask you to pay special attention to the heavenly signs of the last three trumpets. As I said in the introduction to this series, no one can predict with complete accuracy, what the real events will be that are symbolically represented by the signs and Bible texts, but we will do our best to show you the details of the agreement between the heavenly signs at the Orion times and the trumpet texts, so you can come to faith and, on the basis of the heavenly fulfillment that can be foreseen with the planetarium imagery, you can recognize the earthly fulfillment as soon as it happens.
We have well introduced you to all the players in the end-time drama and you understand how and where you have to look behind the scenes in order to not be deceived. Now we should be able to understand the long and detailed biblical texts of the fifth and sixth trumpets of the ninth chapter of the Revelation of Christ...
While studying the fifth trumpet here in Paraguay, we found that it presents a great drama like a movie on a panoramic heavenly screen with heavenly actors. We should take it verse by verse, that we may capture the whole depth of what our beloved High Priest in Heaven wants to tell us in the last segment of His intercessory service before He throws down the censer at the beginning of the sixth trumpet and mercy ends.[32]
Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. (Revelation 9:1, NKJV)
The first thing John sees is a star. It is not falling from heaven, but has already fallen from heaven earlier.[33] The book of Revelation gives us the keys to understand who it is.
It is commonly understood that stars may stand for angels...
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. (Revelation 1:20)
Satan, the old dragon and the serpent of Eden, is well known to be an angel, and he was cast out “from heaven to the earth”...
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-9)
Jesus Himself explains to us that at that time, He was there in His position as Michael, that is, before His incarnation.
And he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, 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. (Luke 10:18-19)
Fallen to the earth, Satan calls up “serpents and scorpions” against the heralds of the gospel, but they cannot harm them. This should immediately remind us of the verses of the fifth and sixth trumpets, for there, the remnant have a brush with scorpions and snakes, but they are not allowed to harm them. We'll get to that soon.
We can therefore rightly assert that the “star of Revelation 9:1, who fell from heaven to earth” is Satan—the fallen angel. Of course, he had fallen and been banished to the earth long before the fifth trumpet.
If we look at the heavenly scene on December 5, 2017, and “shake the heavens,” it should catch our eye that a planet stands in the middle of the smoke of the Milky Way, which we have already seen. One may go many days forward or backward, but Saturn stays in the smoke. Could it be that Saturn represents the fallen Lucifer?
There are two planets that are often equated with Lucifer: Saturn and Venus. We will come back later (in the last part of the series) to speak in more detail about Venus, the bright and morning star, which also features in our imagery at the beginning of the fifth trumpet and plays a major role there. But first, we are interested in Saturn.
I quote from the “Morning Newspaper for Educated Readers”[34] and assume that you are.
In the male series, Saturn is the first planet, the furthest from the sun, therefore still quite self-sufficient and selfish. Saturn is the dark matter or the fallen Lucifer himself, and stands for nature in the same relationship in which Adam stood to mankind after his fall.
As Saturn was furthest from the sun (at least in the perspective of 1827), so also is Satan and the sinner from God, the Sun of Righteousness.
If we look closely at the “shaking of the heavens,” we see that Mercury approaches him in a curve, and the two planets have their closest encounter on December 5 & 6, when Mercury suddenly shrinks and disappears into “nothing”.
Mercury is commonly known as the “messenger of the gods”—a “star” again, but who’s task is to deliver something. It is a safe assumption that the one who gives the key to the Saturnian Lucifer is Mercury.
But where did the “messenger of the gods” come from? Who is the one who originally gave the messenger the key to the bottomless pit, so that he might in turn deliver it to the fallen angel? These are questions that we can’t answer directly from the biblical text—though perhaps in God's heavenly movie? Let's watch the next video...
Now you have seen how Jesus (symbolized by Jupiter in Virgo) surrenders the key for the bottomless pit to the messenger angel “Mercury” on October 18, 2017, who then rushes to Satan, the star fallen from heaven (symbolized by Saturn) delivering it to him December 5-6, 2017. Christ, therefore, allows Satan to perform a certain work from the fifth trumpet on.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Revelation 9:2)
Saturn does not long hesitate to open the bottomless pit with the key that the Lord gave him. In the time of the last warning before the end of the Father’s patience, the number of martyrs will be completed. It is with full intention that the band of light from the Milky Way is compared with the smoke from a large furnace, for it should remind us of Genesis 19!
And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. (Genesis 19:27-28)
In the fifth trumpet, we are reminded of the homosexual debauchery of Sodom and Gomorrah and its punishment. It is the last warning about accepting the mark of the beast on the forehead or the hand, before the smoke of a scorched earth will ascend, of which the first trumpet had already warned.[35]
There was also a very hot furnace with lots of smoke in Daniel 3! In this story, we are told of the erection of the golden statue with the “666 dimensions” as the ruler of Babylon’s show of rebellion against God's timetable for the earthly world kingdoms of Chapter 2. A decree was issued that sentenced to death in the fiery furnace, all those who did not worship this denigrating image of the original image of God. Daniel's companions remained firm and were thrown into the furnace, but there came a fourth Man, Jesus, to help and not even one hair was burnt.
So it’s about fidelity to the “image of God” under a death threat! May all our readers and we ourselves in the fifth trumpet, respond like Daniel’s friends if we are compelled to bow down before the statue of the beast, same-sex marriage...
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (Daniel 3:17-18)
The moving heavenly scene of the last video has demonstrated how the sun moves into the smoke while the sound of the fifth trumpet rings out. High above, in the air darkened by smoke, the sorrowful eagle makes his circles. He is the king of the air as Jesus is the King of Heaven... and yet... He must see His children suffer, because they do not want to obey Him.
The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism [charismatic wonder-healings]. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium [the Age of Aquarius].
Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith [the one-world religion]; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, [especially homosexual debauchery], strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war [WW3] against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.
Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls.He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah[by the introduction of homosexual marriage and LGBT-Tolerance]; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. [In the fifth trumpet, only those who have the seal of God are protected.] He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.
While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people ... do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4, 5. {GC 588.3-589.3}[36]
Satan has retained power over the bottomless pit of Hades. Now He brings his evil and bitter grapes to maturity. The fifth trumpet sounds, and the sickle of death comes into view. Satan's shadow darkens the Sun of Truth and the air will be filled with locusts. The great trial for true Christians has begun.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. (Revelation 9:3-5)
At the beginning of the fifth trumpet, the sun is in Scorpio, and these creatures, which in their number are comparable to a swarm of locusts, serve as a symbol of the first woe that comes over the people because of their very painful, but usually non-fatal stings. Satan’s rule over them is not yet completely unrestrained; Someone still holds him back, whom we will identify later in the firmament. However, the people who already bear the seal from the harvest of God in the fourth trumpet from September 14 to December 4, 2017 are not allowed to be tormented.
In frightening words, God makes it known that the torment of men, which will come upon them like a woman's birth pains, will be immense.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. (Revelation 9:6)
In another video, we will fly through the firmament by time-lapse during the trumpet with the longest core time.
You have now seen how the sun wanders through the prophesied five months of the fifth trumpet, and how precisely the drama in the heavens reflects the biblical text. Perhaps it would be better to say that the biblical text has always been an allegorical description of the sequence of events in the firmament at the beginning and/or the core time of the respective trumpet.
Before we examine the individual parts of the locusts of the fifth trumpet—especially those of the second genus—we should assemble a prophetic surgical tray, so we will have the instruments for dissecting these creatures.
Who can give the right answer on the spur of the moment to who the following beasts and people are in the prophecy of Revelation: the dragon from Revelation 12 and 13, the first and the second beast from Revelation 13, the beast from Revelation 17, the antichrist and the false prophet, and the whore Babylon? Here is the word of God that cuts like a two-edged sword...
The line of prophecy in which these symbols are found begins with Revelation 12, with the dragon that sought to destroy Christ at His birth. The dragon is said to be Satan (Revelation 12:9); he it was that moved upon Herod to put the Saviour to death. But the chief agent of Satan in making war upon Christ and His people during the first centuries of the Christian Era was the Roman Empire, in which paganism was the prevailing religion. Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.
In chapter 13 (verses 1-10) is described another beast, “like unto a leopard,” to which the dragon gave “his power, and his seat, and great authority.” This symbol, as most Protestants have believed, represents the papacy, which succeeded to the power and seat and authority once held by the ancient Roman empire. Of the leopardlike beast it is declared: “There was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.... And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” This prophecy, which is nearly identical with the description of the little horn of Daniel 7, unquestionably points to the papacy. {GC 438.2-439.1}[37]
Again, for the record,
Dragon from Revelation 12 and 13 = Satan and pagan Rome
First beast from Revelation 13 = Papacy
Little Horn from Daniel = Also papacy
The eternal muddling up of the antichrist and the false prophet by today's would-be Bible-interpreters irks me, because people get confused and seduced. The reformers knew better than they. The pope was always the antichrist for them.
I agree with Luther and the reformers:
When the papal bull reached Luther, he said: “I despise and attack it, as impious, false.... It is Christ Himself who is condemned therein.... I rejoice in having to bear such ills for the best of causes. Already I feel greater liberty in my heart; for at last I know that the pope is antichrist, and that his throne is that of Satan himself.”—D’Aubigne, b. 6, ch. 9. {GC 141.3}[38]
Note it well:
The antichrist is the pope.
Who is the man of sin and the son of perdition?
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
This prophecy means that the Papacy will one day set the man of sin, the son of perdition, that is, Satan himself on the throne of the papal office. This is the great falling away! Satan appears as the angel of light, masquerading with the white robe of the last pope, and for a long time he has been able to deceive the world.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14)
However, the nations will discover it, though unfortunately too late, because this will only happen in the plagues. Then Revelation 17:16 fulfills:
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. (Revelation 17:16)
We’ve known ever since March 13th, 2013, whose body serves as a cover for Satan, for he was the first Jesuit to be elected pope. In the article The Beast from the Bottomless Pit, we explained that the wound of the papacy, the first beast of Revelation 13, was now healed. I have already shown how since then, the papacy has had two heads instead of one (immortal) head, thus fulfilling the heavenly image of Hydra. Please, don’t ever confuse the first beast, the papacy, with the dragon, that is, pagan Rome. Otherwise, the true meaning of the prophecy of the revelation of Christ is obscured.
Learn by heart:
Pope Francis is the man of sin, the son of perdition, the antichrist. He is Lucifer in his fleshly costume, who appears as an angel of light dressed as a human being. He is also Gog of Magog, as we have often shown.[39]
What church institutions or political power structures does he lead?
The whore “Babylon”, the impure woman who becomes the great city (church), which will religiously rule the whole planet, is the Roman (Catholic = universal) Church, which reincorporates all Protestant churches. She is insatiable, and her religious influence has encompassed the rest of the world religions for some time, since they are all oriented against the true God. The World Council of Churches, for which the pope—now Satan—is the chairman, is the great city of Babylon. One could also call it the “one-world religion”.
The papacy, which began to reign over Europe (the 10 horns into which the former Roman empire had disintegrated) in 538 AD, succeeding the power of the dragon, pagan Rome, and received the supposedly fatal wound in 1798, is Satan's first beast. This is a political-religious power structure, in which there is a single ruler (the Pontifex Maximus, the “Highest Bridge Builder,” a title reserved for the Roman emperors from Emperor Augustus on)! Is it any wonder that the Pope constantly speaks of “building bridges”?[40]
From the beginning of the healing of the wound in 1929 until it was completely healed in 2013, the papacy had again extended its power all over Europe, along with the Vatican-founded European Union, thus restoring its old power before 1798. The Brexit irritates the first beast enormously. The nations of Europe were instructed by the pope to open their doors to the Trojan horse and to admit Islam. In truth, Islam is only a copy of the Roman religion and the fighters of the Islamic states are a killing instrument in his hand that does the dirty work which he himself, disguised as a white angel, cannot publicly do. The Islamic states may also be understood as the unofficial “eastern expansion” of the papacy.
The second beast from Revelation 13—the independent and official “western expansion” of the first beast from Revelation 13—is explained below.
“And he had two horns like a lamb.” The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as “coming up” in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that “all men are created equal” and endowed with the inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.
But the beast with lamblike horns “spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed; ... saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:11-14.
The lamblike horns and dragon voice of the symbol point to a striking contradiction between the professions and the practice of the nation thus represented. The “speaking” of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities. By such action it will give the lie to those liberal and peaceful principles which it has put forth as the foundation of its policy. The prediction that it will speak “as a dragon” and exercise “all the power of the first beast” plainly foretells a development of the spirit of intolerance and persecution that was manifested by the nations represented by the dragon and the leopardlike beast. And the statement that the beast with two horns “causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast” indicates that the authority of this nation is to be exercised in enforcing some observance which shall be an act of homage to the papacy. {GC 441.1-442.1}[41]
With the Sodomy Law of June 26, 2015, every single word of the above prophecy was fulfilled in the USA. Of course, other countries in the Old and New World also adopted the sodomy law long before, but Ellen G. White never said the US would be the first to accept this law; it was about the extent of power that a state has, to “speak” representatively for a whole continent. The United States is undoubtedly the most powerful nation in the New World—the entire American continent. And above her is enthroned the statue of unlibertarian Lucifer, the torchbearer, or the angel of light.
On July 20, 2017, the beginning of the third trumpet, the image of the first beast was also adopted by Germany, the most powerful state in Europe, the Old World. In this way arises the sequence in the prophecy of the second beast, that it makes others accept the image of the first beast.
There is no doubt, then, who the second beast is: it is the expansion of the papacy into the New World, represented by the United States. And now we can solve another riddle...
Pope Francis, of course, is also “the abomination of desolation” as seen when he stood where he ought not on September 24 and 25, 2015: before the United States Congress and before the UN General Assembly in New York. A wise Bible student would begin counting from then on, according to Daniel 12:11-12. This is truly the last countdown of God.
Again, take note:
The second beast in Revelation 13 is the United States of America. The abomination of desolation is Pope Francis, as a Jesuit Roman general, “Titus”.
If one knows who the first and second beasts from Revelation 13 are, then they automatically know who the false prophet is...
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Revelation 19:20)
Please write down:
The false prophet is the second beast, that is, the United States again, but this time especially apostate Protestantism, which does not warn against the mark of the beast, but even invites it, and the charismatic churches lure others into the trap of the papacy by false wonder-healings and “tongues”.
Now we come to an interesting point, which plays an important role in the fifth trumpet. Even in the first verse, we are told that at the beginning of this trumpet, the key to the bottomless pit is given to Satan, that is, Pope Francis. He immediately opens the bottomless pit, and locusts emerge. If you read carefully, you can see that there are two types of locusts, one of which is particularly frightening. And the fifth trumpet deals especially with those “locusts” that come second. We will find characteristics of these locusts that will tell us exactly who is the beast of Revelation 17, which “was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit.”
I am saying this in advance, because we should always keep the big picture in mind while we continue to study the verses in detail.
In the fifth trumpet, there is a “beast” that rises up from the bottomless pit, which is opened at the beginning. We want to know what current, earthly power coming from their hiding place is hidden behind this animal symbol, so that we can protect ourselves from it, for it will prevent people from receiving the seal of God, and make them the target of the plagues. Look on YouTube and the social networks, for example. The confusion concerning the building of the third temple, or about who the false prophet or the antichrist could be! It's incredible!
Whether by virtue of, or despite the rich symbolism of the fifth trumpet, if we find out which “beast” it is that tortures people in these five months, we will also be certain about who is behind all the preparations. The fifth trumpet is the last segment of all Orion cycles where there is still grace. Always remember that!
Therefore, let’s look for the verses in the Bible about the “beast from the bottomless pit,” so we can get an overview. Fortunately, there are only two of them...
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Revelation 17:8)
I have not exaggerated. Whoever is hoodwinked by this “beast from the bottomless pit” forfeits eternal life. Hence, in the fifth trumpet, there appears the famous beast of Revelation 17, which is ridden by the whore of Babylon, the Roman Church, with all its allied religions (for example, ecumenism or the world church).
The interesting thing about the above verse is especially that this beast “was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit.” It thus appears that this beast once existed, then ceased to exist, and eventually—beginning at the fifth trumpet—will exist again!
Thus, it cannot be the present papacy, since its wound healed already in 2013 and Satan has long sat on its throne. It already exists and does not need to rise from the bottomless pit. Nor can it be the second beast of Revelation 13, the USA in its present form, since they adopted the mark of the first beast in June 2015.
Let’s examine Revelation 17...
The beast of Revelation 17, which is ridden by the Roman harlot church, who has apostatized from God, has seven heads and ten horns, just like the first beast from Revelation 13 and the Dragon from Revelation 12. The difference is, however, that the dragon and the first beast had crowns on their heads or horns from the outset, while the beast from Revelation 17 will only “get power” at a later hour with the beast. The beast of Revelation 17 must therefore be an international union of states which has no “king” at first, and later “ten,” after receiving the power of the kingdom.
We have learned that the red dragon, pagan Rome, gave his power, that is, his crowns, to the first beast, when the papacy began to rule over Europe. The pagan, imperialist Rome has no crowns at the moment, because it has given them away! The dragon wore the crowns on its seven heads (symbolizing its seven empires), then (in the year 538 AD) they went to the 10 horns of the first beast (the 10 nations into which the Roman empire disintegrated), who ultimately lost them when one of his heads was wounded (that was in 1798 when Pope Pius VI was captured by Napoleon's general). All this is extremely important to understand! In Revelation 17:3 a scarlet “beast” is now waiting with seven heads and ten horns, on which no crowns sit (yet).
The 10 horns once again must be the nations of Europe, perhaps the old and the new world together in the G20 association of countries, which would gladly receive crowns and power, namely, as a comprehensive, predominant world government. What crowns do they want? Of course, the ones they had received from the dragon once before. For this to happen, they must first give their power to the beast, so that it can crown them again later...
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
But how does Satan gain power in practice from the nations or a union of nations? Very simply... they must incorporate his seal of authority into their legislation! The Roman empire must rise again, with its laws being kept in a significant way in all its “provinces”! And whoever knows that of the 14 Roman emperors, 13 were homosexual and two were even married to men, also understands what seal of authority is actually spoken of.
No, it is not the sanctification of Sunday, for it is not the papacy that is the beast that is to be resurrected, but pagan Rome with its imperialist tyrant, and this time ridden by the great WHORE, the all-encompassing world religion with its center in the 7-hilled city of Rome. And the most famous of all the great Christian persecutors, who did not even shrink from burning his own capital, just to blame the Christians, was... Emperor NERO!
At least two of the Roman Emperors were in same-sex unions; and in fact, thirteen out of the first fourteen Roman Emperors held to be bisexual or exclusively homosexual. The first Roman emperor to have married a man was Nero, who is reported to have married two other men on different occasions. First with one of his freedman, Pythagoras, to whom Nero took the role of the bride, and later as a groom Nero married a young boy to replace his young teenage concubine whom he had killed named Sporus in a very public ceremony... with all the solemnities of matrimony, and lived with him as his spouse. A friend gave the “bride” away “as required by law.” The marriage was celebrated separately in both Greece and Rome in extravagant public ceremonies. The Child Emperor Elagabalus referred to his chariot driver, a blond slave from Caria named Hierocles, as his husband. He also married an athlete named Zoticus in a lavish public ceremony in Rome amidst the rejoicings of the citizens. [Wikipedia]
Any Questions? Have we not already reached the condition of Rome in many states of the New and Old World? Check out the latest map of the countries that have already introduced homosexual marriage:
My brother Gerhard will elaborate in the article about the Age of Aquarius, on what happened at the end of the second or the beginning of the third trumpet, that Germany received the mark of the beast as the most powerful country in Europe, standing for the 10 horns of the Old World.
A final stage in the takeover by the dragon, and thus the return of the terrible Roman empire, ridden by Satan himself as the angel of light over all religions of the world, occurs when the Bible says that this beast ascends from the bottomless pit. And for this to happen, the bottomless pit must be opened at the beginning of the fifth trumpet.
But before we get lost in discussions about heads, mountains, crowns, and horns, I would like to point out the big picture again: Satan is concerned with nothing but world domination, and indeed, to be the sole ruler with all power over all men. His ultimate goal is that everyone on earth must acknowledge his authority and accept his filthy, distorted image of fornication.
Horns that could fulfill the symbolism in Revelation 17:12-13, are e.g. the G20, which includes 85% of world economic production. They are the 20 most powerful states in the world in financial terms—and money is known to make the world go ’round. You can also understand them as the 10 horns of the Old World (first beast) together with the 10 horns of the New World (second beast).
The UN is also a group of horns that gives power when Pope Francis not only holds a “recommendation speech” at the beginning of its plenary session, but actually exercises authority over it and uses it as a power for enforcing his laws directed against God.
However, I would like to emphasize one thing. Despite all the rather complicated explanations, apparently, no one is really able to provide a complete and fully conclusive interpretation of all the symbols in Revelation 17, especially when it comes to the riddle of the eight kings in verses 9-11.[42] I recognized how difficult it is to solve these riddles without considering the corresponding constellations of stars. That is what we want to do as quickly as possible in the last part of this series on the heavenly trumpets.
