Is Such An Important Event Prophesied In The Bible At All?
Sadly to say, but it is, indeed. In the last book of the Holy Scriptures named Revelation (also sometimes referred to in its Greek name Apocalypses) in its chapter 8 and verses 8 and 9 it is declared:
"Then, the second angel sounded his Trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood; and a third of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."
Like if this disaster was not enough the immediate following verses, 10 and 11, state that,
"Then the third angel blew his Trumpet, and a huge star burning like a torch fell from the sky. It landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. Now the name of the star is Wormwood. So a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from these waters because they were poisoned."
But of course, that (a polluting meteorite) is another matter, for another day. So, let us go back to our main discussion.
I hope that you would agree with me when I say that the expression "
something like a great mountain of burning fire" means a volcano. And of course, the reference to its plunging into the ocean is clearly enunciated. When it says that "
a third of the sea became blood" it may mean that a third of the waters of the ocean becomes deadly polluted; or that a third of the sea becomes lethal in some other manner (like it is the case with a tsunami). Yes, I know that at the beginning it sounds a bit like a stretch, but hold on.
The prophecy says that "
and a third of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died." This seems to refer pretty clearly to some form of lethal pollution arising from the sunken volcano. It could be. The problem arises when it says that "
a third of the ships were destroyed." It is clear that pollution would not do such a feat on our modern ships — but a tsunami can. On the other hand where it says "
and a third of the creatures which were IN the sea and had life, died" the Greek preposition "en" it can also be equally translated as "AT" or "BY". Therefore, that passage could as well say, "
and a third of the creatures which were BY the sea, and had life, died."
Also, the word translated as "creature" is "ktisma" which entails "any created living being," which is why the word "creature" is used here. Now, the problem is that, even though the word "creature" properly means "any created living being," when we hear that word, or read it, what mainly comes to our mind is some small non-human, probably insect-like being, or otherwise a big, monstrous non-human entity. And that is not what this verse is necessarily dealing with. It is talking about ANY living being.
An now the horrifying meaning of the verse strikes hard on our souls. Let me repeat it:
"Then, the second angel sounded his Trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood; and a third of the living beings which were by the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."
Also I think that maybe it is necessary to point out that the Creator does not have any quarrel with the fishes of the ocean, but with the sinful people living on the seashores.
Like if that passage was not enough, there are other places in the Scripture that confirm the prediction of the above verses.
An example of this in YirmeYahu (a.k.a. Jeremiah) chapter 51, verse 25, the Judge of All says:
"Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, who destroys the whole earth," declares YHWH. "And I will stretch out My Hand against you, and roll you down from the cliffs; and I will make you a burnt out mountain."
The pronoun "who" is implied and can equally be rendered as "that". So, the expression "
who destroys the whole earth" can also be translated as "
that destroys the whole earth."
So, there you have it. A true prophecy of doom for all the Atlantic residents and its mariners. An apocalyptic mega-tsunami is written in our future. I repeat, a devastation of apocalyptic proportion — and timing — is prophesied for the Atlantic in the Holy Scriptures; therefore, I know it will surely happen. Its preparation is ready; only its appointed moment has not come ... yet.
Believe me, I’m not writing this easily; I live in Florida, 1/3 of a mile from a beautiful Atlantic beach, and all my close relatives and friends also live in the vicinity of the Atlantic waves. So, it is with heaviness of heart that I write this article, a heaviness that is not for me and my brothers and sisters in Christ — for whom our physical death is just the wonderful passage to the eternal Mansions of glorious Light and Bliss of our Heavenly Father and His Son Yah’Shua — but for all those, that with the unreal sense of security that only denial gives, are sliding, like the doomed Canary island, toward their physical death and so plunging into the deepest depths of Darkness for the total, and eternal, destruction of their very precious souls.
How Will It Happen? — The Two Witnesses
I hypothesize — I repeat, hypothesize — that the above discussed phenomenon will happen at the command of the Two Witnesses of the Last Days, who will charge the world for its Sin, while prophesying of the impending Judgment to immediately fall upon the whole world. They will also preach the Gospel of Salvation through Messiah Yah’Shua to Israel in the Holy Land and to the rest of the world, who will be astonished by the supernatural powers that they will display.
Let me explain what I conjecture, and then think by yourself; and if you arrive to a different conclusion than mine it is perfectly fine with me; after all, my intention is to make you think about this issue, not simply to agree with me. While at it, allow me to say that I am totally convinced that the greatest disasters that have befallen on Christendom have arisen out of the egregious arrogance shown by the immense majority of theologians, and their followers, by believing — and sustaining it at all cost — that what they think has got to be the only right right way to understand something. Be assured that neither theology, nor any doctrinal position saves; only a deep childlike Faith in Yah’Shua the Messiah as evidenced by a loving and obedient submission to His Might does. The rest are just leaves that can fall to the ground torn away by the Wind of the Spirit of YHWH.
Now, let me begin by saying what I speculate about the identity of the Two Witnesses. I think that they might be Hanok or Moshe and EliYahu ( a.k.a. Enoch, Moses and Elijah). Three probabilities for one real combination. One element (I’m speaking in mathematical terms) is almost certain, the other two are debatable. So, this is my reasoning. Let me begin by Hanok.
The Scripture of the Most High states in Hebrews 9:27 that,
"It is appointed for men to die once; and after that, the Judgment"
According to that statement we find that only two men have so far infringed such event: Hanok and EliYahu. Neither of these men ever died. The Scripture informs us that "
Hanok walked with Elohim. Then he was no more, for Elohim took him." That means, he was transported, or raptured, — alive — to the Presence of the Father of Creation in the Heavens.
See what Hebrews 11:5 says,
"By Faith, Hanok was translated so as not to see death, ‘and he was not found because Elohim had translated him’. For before his Translation he obtained witness, that he had pleased Elohim. But without Faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim has to believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him."
I think that we can agree in that a man of his tall spiritual stature would be able to present himself as a witness of the Just King of Heaven to render a case against a depraved humanity, as well as to call for a change of the collective wrong way, which is thrusting humanity into not only despair, but also destruction.
The Scriptural record does not give us many details about Hanok, although some things are said about him in certain extra-scriptural books, mainly in the ‘Book of Enoch’, which are phenomenal. Still, our knowledge of the great antediluvian prophet — father of Methushelah and, great-grandfather of Noach, and because of that a common ancestor of every human that has lived after the Flood — is not considered very extensive by most. According to both, the Holy Scriptures and the ‘Book of Enoch’, this was no ordinary man and his deeds were amazingly great. Certainly, one thing we know for sure: he was a very powerful man in the Spirit, whom this planet could not contain anymore.
But it could be that the identity of the first Witness is not Hanok, but Moshe. The point is that the Two Witnesses could represent the Law (through Moshe) and the Prophets (through EliYahu). It is a happy thought that offers many visages of possibility, having into account that these two individuals appeared at the Mount of Transfiguration witnessing to the disciples of Messiah. Maybe you can realize that if it is so, Moshe would have a lot to say in reference to the violations of the eternal Commandments of the Almighty, given to humanity through him. He, then, could witness of the rejection and/or misuse that the world — and even the churches — have done of them. Believe me, I have no problem with either interpretation at all. As far as I am concerned, any of these two could be the correct one.
Then comes EliYahu. Dissimilar to the first witness, there is not much of a dispute about his true identity among the students of Prophecy.
The Scriptures gives us an ample record of this remarkable man of YHWH. Among the many things we know about EliYahu, it clearly jumps unto our eyes, not only the extraordinary miracles that this ancient Hebrew prophet performed by the Power of the Almighty upon him, but the great Faith and commitment that he demonstrated in the midst of the most adverse circumstances. This is the man that closed the sky of Israel so that it would not rain for 3 ½ years, as a just punishment against a generation that had gone haywire, just like in our decrepit post-modern times. The incident is narrated in 1 Kings 17:1,
"And EliYahu the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gil’ad, said to Ahab: 'As YHWH Elohim of Yisra’El lives, before whom I stand, there shall be no dew or rain these years, except at my word'."
In Lucius (Lukius, Luke) chapter 4, verse 25, Messiah Yah’Shua tells us:
"But truly I say to you, many widows were in Yisra’El in the days of EliYahu, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and there was a great scarcity of food in all the land"
One more tidbit about the issue at hand. In Ya’aqob (a.k.a. James) 5:16-18 it says:
"The earnest prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much. EliYahu was a man with feelings like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain. And it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the land brought forth its fruit."
Ok, incontestably this man has proven to have received power from Heaven above the forces of nature. After praying,
at the command of his voice nature reacts according to his righteous prayer. No matter all the deceiving shows you see on so-called "Christian" TV, miracles did, do and will happen until the "
Perfect comes." Without a doubt, this was the real thing indeed.
Now, observe the parallelism between the account of such great deeds and the prophecy concerning one of the deeds of the Two Witnesses according to Revelation 11:3-6,
"And I shall give unto my Two Witnesses, and they shall prophesy 1260 days clad in sackcloth. These are the Two Olive Trees and the Two Lampstands that are standing before the Elohim of the earth. And if anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes out from their mouth and consumes their enemies. And if anyone wishes to harm them, he has to be killed in that way. These possess authority to shut the heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy. And they possess authority over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they wish."
I guess that, by now, you are getting the idea of where I’m going. These Two are going to cut off the rain on the earth. For how long? — You guessed it, for 1260 days. Tha is 3 ½ years. Exactly the same as the 3 ½ years of EliYahu.
Did you notice that they have the power to turn water into blood? Moshe did that in Egypt.
"And YHWH spoke to Mosheh, 'Say to Aharon, "Take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Mitsrayim (a.k.a. Egypt), over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they become blood. And there shall be blood in all the land of Mitsrayim, both in wooden and in stone containers".' And Mosheh and Aharon did so, as YHWH commanded. And he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that were in the river died, and the river stank, and the Mitsrites (a.k.a. Egyptians) were unable to drink the water of the river. And the blood was in all the land of Mitsrayim."
After the 3 ½ years of their prophecy and the constant attempts against their lives. The Beast succeeds in murdering them — only because the Almighty allows it. Now, He allows it, among other things, because if these Two brave millenarian Witnesses never died before, now is the time for them to experience this common occurrence, so that then they can also be Judged as the rest of humans, and also so that each of them can receive a resurrected heavenly body of glorious "matter".
Remember, the main mission of these Two Witnesses is to prophesy against the rebelliousness of a world on its way to its definite doom. Such was what, for example, Hanok did before the Flood of Noach. See Yah’uda a.k.a. Jude 1:14-15
"And Hanok — the seventh from Adam — also prophesied of these, saying, ‘See, YHWH comes with His Myriads of Holy Ones, to execute Judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him’."
This prophecy, still befitting, resonates in the heavenly realms that surround us all. This is precisely the kind of prophecy that these Two Witnesses — probably one antediluvian and one postdiluvian, both representing the two major eras of the human experience on this planet, or one Legal and the other Prophetic — will utter in the very Last Days of our dying world, when true Faith and selfless bravery will be even more scarce than they are today, which is a lot to say.
So, What Could Be Their Possible Connection With The "Cumbre Vieja" Climatic Incident?
It is evident that this Two Witnesses — whoever they are — have a truly extraordinary Faith, the kind of Faith that can move mountains, the kind of Faith that, so far — and to our shame — nobody has proven to have had, not even by a long shot.
In Mattithyahu (a.k.a. Matthew) 21:21 we are told by Messiah the following:
"And Yah’Shua rebuked the demon, and he came out of him. And the child was healed from that hour. Then the disciples came to Yah’Shua by Himself and said, ‘Why were we unable to cast him out?’ And Yah’Shua said to them, ‘Because of your unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if you have Faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it shall move. And no matter shall be impossible for you. But this kind does not go out except through prayer and fasting’."
Also in Mattithyahu 21:21 it is said,
"And Yah’Shua answering, said to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, if you have Faith and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, "Be removed and be thrown into the sea," it shall be done. And whatever you ask in prayer — believing — you shall receive’."
The issue of removing mountains as true possibility is dealt again in the Holy Scriptures when the Apostle Shaul (a.k.a. Paul) says the following in his first letter to the Corinthians chapter 13, verse 2,
"If I have prophecy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all faith — so as to remove mountains — but do not have Love, I am nothing at all."
It is my proposition that
these Two Witnesses will, by means of their undoubting Faith, move the "Cumbre Vieja" the mountain of fire into the sea, thus creating the devastating tsunami that has already been discussed above. By doing so, they not only will fulfill the pertinent prophecy, but they also will witness against all of us Christians of small Faith that having held unbelief in our hearts have been prevented from doing such kind of miracles for our Heavenly Master. I fell the need to clarify that I am talking about true wonderful miracles from the Almighty, not the kind of clownish tricks we so often see performed on TV by some self-proclaimed "prophets" and professional deceivers.
Then, When Will This Happen?
At the sound of the Second Trumpet. Remember what Revelation 8:8–9 says,
"Then, the second angel sounded his Trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood; and a third of the living beings which were by the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."
[ I shall say that the words "his Trumpet" are not found in the original Greek text — which is the reason they appear in italics. They are an implication drawn from the two previous verses and then interpolated in our current text with the intent to clarify the whole sentence in English. Observe the two aforementioned verses, number 6 and 7. ]
"And the Seven Angels who held the Seven Trumpets prepared themselves to sound. And the first messenger sounded, and there came to be hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up."
Now, when are these Trumpets sounded by the Seven Angels? Obviously, the time frame is to be found in the previous passages. Let us go back to chapter 6 and see what we can find regarding this important timing. In that chapter, we first see the Lamb of YHWH opening the first four Seals that no one else can open. By doing this a chain of events start taking place upon the earth.
The First Seal launches the establishment of the New World Order, or the Reign of the deceiving Antimessiah who presides it, here on earth as represented by the Rider of the deceitful White Horse.
The Second Seal unleashes wars and revolutions all around the planet, this time represented by the Rider with a sword of the Red Horse.
The opening of the Third Seal provokes hunger and starvation in the nations. This is represented by the Black Horse and a Rider with a scale in his hands, and a Proclamation of bad news in such respect is heard.
The opening of the Forth Seal brings out a Pale Horse and his gloomy Rider. He brings more wars, commotions, starvations, plus plagues and even more death on the planet by caused the beasts of the earth. I believe these "beasts" may refer to humans beings with bestial attitudes and unnatural behaviors.
Messiah Yah’Shua talked about these very Last Things as recorded in Mattithyahu chapter 24, verses 4–9.
"And Yah’Shua answering, said to them, ‘Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many shall come in My Name, saying, "I am the Messiah," and they shall lead many astray. And you shall begin to hear of fightings and reports of fightings. See that you are not troubled, for these have to take place, but the End is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases, and earthquakes in places. And all these are the Beginning of Birth Pains. Then, they shall deliver YOU up to Tribulation and kill YOU, and YOU shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake."
The adverb translated as "then" used in the sentence "Then they shall deliver you up to Tribulation and kill you" means "at that time" or "during that time". Hence, we can read:
"During that time, they shall deliver you up to Tribulation and kill you," which clarifies the idea originally expressed much more.
How shall this Tribulation be? Sorry to say, but it shall be the harshest ever. This is the much referred to Great Tribulation. Mattithyahu 24:21–22 declares:
"For then there shall be Great Tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And if those Days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the Chosen Ones those Days shall be shortened."
It is because of the fact that Christians are undergoing at that time the Great Tribulation that the scenes in the Heavens takes place as described in Revelation 6:9–11. Observe what happens at the opening of the Fifth Seal.
"And when He opened the Fifth Seal, I saw under the Altar the souls of those having been slain for the Word of Elohim and for the Witness which they held, and they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Master, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ And there was given to each one a White Robe, and they were told that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brothers, who would be killed as they were, was completed."
This means that the Chosen Ones, or Elect, of YHWH that are still on earth are to be subjected for a little longer to persecution and death (Great Tribulation) on account of their Faith in the Lamb of YHWH until the allotted number of martyrs is met. Then, the Sixth Seal is opened as the narration continues in verses 12–17.
"And I looked when He opened the Sixth Seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs, being shaken by a strong wind. And heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the sovereigns of the earth, and the great ones, and the rich ones, and the commanders, and the mighty, and every slave and every free one, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the Face of Him sitting on the Throne and from the Wrath of the Lamb, because the Great Day of His Wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’ "
The exact parallel passage to this we have to return to continue the narrative of Mattithyahu chapter 24, verses 29–31.
"And immediately AFTER the Tribulation of those Days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then the Sign of the Son of Man shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the heaven with Power and much Glory. And He shall send His angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet, and they shall gather together His Chosen Ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 it talks, not so extensively, about the same event,
"Because the Master Himself shall come down from Heaven with a Shout, with the Voice of an Archangel, and with the Trumpet of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air — and so we shall always be with the Master."
"Left over" from what? From the Great Tribulation, of course! Yes, yes, I know. I am a prophet of doom, but a prophet of Truth too. We already discussed that. Now, think about this, do Christians deserve such Great Tribulation? Absolutely! The world has defeated and defiled us all. The Church is in rags and we need to be cleansed, purified and refined like gold by the testing fire of the Great Tribulation, otherwise in this decayed state we cannot have access to the Wedding of the Lamb. Messiah Yeh'Shua is coming for a Church spotless and without wrinkles, and that is nowhere to be found. Our Master deserves that we be for Him the kind of gold that we are not. If you do not see that in you, me and the rest of Christendom, then you need to humbly ask the Master of all Sanctity to open your eyes to the true situation of the actual churches and you.
The good thing is that the glorious and climatic Return of Messiah Ya'Shua brings the Tribulation of the Elect of YHWH to a sudden end. It is the much anticipated Second Coming of our dear Master Yah’Shua. This is also the Day of the Wrath of Elohim which has finally arrived. The Day of Reckoning is here.
[ By the way, do not believe the satanic lullaby — better called: false prophecy — that Christians will be raptured before the Tribulation of those End Days. All over the Messianic Writings (a.k.a. New Testament), and else, such heresy is contradicted and fought against by the written Word of Elohim. Pay infinitely more attention to the Writings of Elohim than to any interpretation of any man — including me. Observe what YeshaYahu (a.k.a. Isaiah) said in his divinely inspired Book, chapter 8, verse 20, "To the Torah and to the Witness! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because they have no Morning Light in them." ]
So, you saw that Mattithyahu tells us that angels "
gather together His Chosen Ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." Continuing the parallelism, in the first verses of Revelation chapter 7 we find angels finding and sealing on their foreheads 144,000 servants of YHWH from the children of Israel, all of them according to their tribes of origin.
[ Let's take for a moment a rabbit trail.
Observe that these 144,000 people are not just Jews; they are Israelites. Modern Jews are only composed by two of the ancient tribes of Israel, Yahuda (a.k.a. Juda) and Binyamin. The other 10 tribes are dispersed all over the planet, and nobody knows exactly who they are but Elohim. You could be one of them, who knows? These 144,000 individuals are the remnant of the followers of Messiah among all the nations that will be spared from death during the Great Tribulation. Every human redeemed by the Sacrifice of the Lamb of YahWHeH who will dwell in Heaven has this mark of His Name on their foreheads. See what Revelation 22:3-5 says about it.
"And no longer shall there be any curse. And the Throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. And they shall see His Face, and His Name shall be upon their foreheads. And night shall be no more, and they have no need of a lamp or the light of sun, because YHWH Elohim shall give them Light. And they shall reign foreverever."
That this remnant of 144,000 Believers upon the earth are rescued from the earth is proven in Revelation 14:3, where it says,
"And they sang a renewed song before the Throne, and before the four Living Creatures, and the Elders. And no one was able to learn that Song except the one 144,000 who were redeemed from the earth."
I know that for those who make a differentiation between the Church and Israel this does not make any sense. Due to the devastation done upon the Church by the satanic Replacement Theology — promulgated by the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine I, and accepted by all Christendom in the last 17 centuries as valid — they cannot grasp the meaning of what Shaul (a.k.a. Paul) said concerning Christian gentiles being GRAFTED into the trunk of Israel in Romans 11:17-18,
"And if SOME of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been GRAFTED in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. And if you boast, remember: you do not bear the root, but the root bears you!"
YHWH never divorced Israel. It was only a separation. Much less would He ever marry a different Bride. See Romans 11:24
"For I do not wish you to be ignorant of this Secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening IN PART has come over Yisra’El, UNTIL the Completeness of the number of the gentiles has come in."
By the way, it is for this reason — and others — we come under the Blessings and Messianc Promise once bestowed upon Abraham, Yitshaq and Ya'aqob. ]
Ok, let's return back from the rabbit trail.
Like we have seen, at the Harvest of the Elect of of Master Yah’Shua to take place "
immediately after the Tribulation of those Days", his Chosen Ones shall be sealed and then raptured to receive His beloved and glorious Person in the air, and to be in His majestic Presence forever. That is why the following and final verses in Revelation 7:13–17 reveal,
"And one of the elders responded, saying to me, ‘Who are these dressed in White Robes, and where did they come from?’ And I said to him, ‘Master, you know.’ And he said to me, ‘These are those coming out of the Great Tribulation, having washed their Robes and made them White in the Blood of the Lamb. Because of this, they are before the Throne of Elohim, and serve Him day and night in His Dwelling Place. And He who sits on the Throne shall spread His Tent over them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them, nor any heat, because the Lamb who is in the midst of the Throne shall shepherd them and lead them to Fountains of Waters of Life. And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes."
The beginning of Revelation chapter 8 describes the opening of the final of the Seven Seals. You shall see that this is the Seal that unleashes the Wrath of Elohim against the entire world. Let’s read about it in Revelation 8:1–2,
"And when He opened the Seventh Seal, there came to be silence in the Heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the Seven Angels who stand before Elohim; and to them were given Seven Trumpets."
So here we are. We have finally arrived to the Seven Trumpets. Remember that the cataclysmic plunging of the Cumbre Vieja "mountain of fire" into the sea takes place at the Second Trumpet.
Now, let’s recapitulate:
- The Beginnings of Birth Pangs give way to the Great Tribulation.
- The Great Tribulation is interrupted by the glorious Second Coming of Messiah Yah’Shua, at which moment,
- The "dead in Messiah" resurrect;
- The Elect of YHWH, who are left alive after this violent carnage, are sealed and transformed into new glorious hyper-dimensional bodies of Heavenly matter,
- Then, they fly to meet their returning Master in the air.
- The Wrath of Elohim is launched full force on this planet with each of the cataclysmic Seven Trumpets blows, and with each of the climaxing Seven Bowls of the Wrath of the Lamb, yet to be poured upon the face of the earth as part of the final seventh Trumpet.
[ As we have seen, the megatsunami comes as a result of the Second Trumpet having been blown ]
Since I know that many might want to know what is going to happen after these events, allow me to continue the timing of the End Times to its wonderful Conclusion. I do this because, like I said before, the End Times is not only about destruction and devastation — although it requires a lot of it — but ultimately, it is about the saving, rescuing and perfectioning of this world, even though to attain such purpose it shall have first to be destroyed.
- After all the above devastations, the establishment of the Kingdom of Messiah Yah’Shua upon the earth, starts the Millennium Era on our planet.
- The First Judgment — which is exclusively for the Redeemed by the Lamb — takes place.
[ Although, no one is condemned in this Trial — that is precisely the meaning of being saved: saved from the Damnation of Condemnation — all our deeds are indeed measured and judged by King Yah’Shua. According to these deeds we receive Benefits, Gifts, Capabilities, Rank, Status, Responsibility and Glory that last for Eternity. ]
- HaShatan (a.k.a. Satan) with all his demons and evil spirits are put in chains for the next thousand years of the Millennial Era, after which time he is unchained for some time.
- HaShatan uses the opportunity of being temporarily freed by Elohim to return to the earth and deceive as many millennial humans as he can. He does it with the evil intent to draft them to his Army of Darkness, and then wage the Last Great Battle against YHWH. It is at this Final Battle that he is conclusively defeated, for ever.
[ Why is haShatan freed again? Because those humans living under the forceful kingdom of Messiah are to be tested of their true allegiance and intentions, so that they can be judged accordingly in all Fairness and Justice. With this action YHWH proves that men tend to corrupt — by wrongly using our Free Will — even under optimum conditions as established by His rule, care and direction. Elohim will make sure that those who shall live eternally with him will not use their Knowledge, Power and Glory as means for another heavenly Rebellion, like Helel (a.k.a. Lucifer) did in ages past. ]
- HaShatan is thrown with all his demons and evil angelic spirits in to the Lake of Fire, where they will stay in maximum torment for Eternity.
- The Second Judgment (a.k.a. the White Throne Judgment) takes place. In it, all the unbelievers in human history are judged for their many sins and rebelliousness by King Yah’Shua according to the Laws of His Father. Even their most hidden secrets are disclosed in the open to the entire unverse to see. Their true intentions are revealed — even to themselves. To their utmost horror all are found guilty and, therefore, condemned.
[ Tragically, every defendant in this Second Trial is found guilty not only of their sins, but also — and most significantly — of the shedding of the Blood of the Lamb of YHWH at Calvary. This is due to the fact that because of their sins He had to be put to Death and, on top of that, they refused to accept such Sacrifice made on their behalf as the perfect Payment for their sinful lives. It is at this Day that — after realizing their mistakes, errors, and the evil uselessness of their lives — every knee bows to the true Master of the Universe: Messiah Yah’Shua of Nazareth, the anointed Lamb of YHWH for the Salvation of the world. ]
[ Since they have already been tried in the First Trial, no believer has a defendant part in this Trial; but we somberly do as witnesses and/or as part of the acting Jury. In front of the horrific tragedy developing in front of our very eyes at that Reckoning Day of gloom, I don’t think that there will be any of us even remotely glad with what shall be going on for those hapless individuals — not even in the case or our worst earthly enemies. ]
- All the unbelievers are thrown into the Lake of Fire in union with their defeated Deceiver and ex-Master, haShatan, to stay there forever with his all the satanic hosts.
- Hell and Death are thrown into the Lake of Fire too.
[ Somehow, it seems that these entities have existence in themselves; being Death the last enemy of Elohim to find his deserved demise ]
- The whole universe — including Heaven and earth — are destroyed by Fire.
[ The presence of Evil, Deception and Death, as well as the very presence of haShatan and all his hosts in both Heaven and earth, defiled the entire Creation of the Almighty, thus demanding the Recreation of all things. But before recreating, a radical Cleansing Act of total Destruction has to occur. Could this be the second Big Bang? ]
- King Yah’Shua returns His Kingdom back to His Father.
[ After his unequal Victory and the Cross, as reflected by his Resurrection, Yah’Shua had received the Dominium over all things from the Hand of the Most High — His, and our, Father in Heaven. Such Submission of the Son to the Father Position and Will is absolute and forever — by which He gives an Eternal Example of Selfless Love worth considering and imitating to the remotest horizons of Eternity ]
- Yah’Shua and his Redeemed enjoy Eternal Glory as co-Heirs of the Kingdom of our common Father with Whom we dwell forever.
- The Eternal and Perfect Kingdom of YHWH remains unthreatened and in an absolute and exciting peaceful Bliss, forever and ever. Amen.
So, there you have it. What a terrifying but wonderful scenery we are to walk in the coming years! To walk that dangerous distance with our eyes closed to the Truth of our situation in front of the Creator, and deaf to the Call of the Almighty, is completely suicidal. I know that many who will read this article will set their minds on its writer and will conclude that I am a fringe lunatic. It has always felt much better to set our eyes on other people than in ourselves, since assuming responsibility has always been much more painful than projecting our fears on others and discarding any personal bad news that makes us feel helpless. Only the very courageous reach inside themselves and open the dark doors of their souls which store their own sins in order to humbly ask their Heavenly Father to forgive them. Only the most brave embark on the very narrow, but fruitful, path of true Obedience to the Laws and Commandments of the King of Heaven and earth. This is a decision of the utmost importance in order to come out unharmed by all the events of future history — I mean, spiritually and soulically unharmed, because physically maybe such might not be the case. Countless millions of true Christians have suffered, or are still suffering, physical ailments of all kinds, and even physical death — even in many occasions inflicted upon them by the harsh and murderous persecutions of the enemies of their Master. But through all these sufferings, ailments and death they always come out radiantly victorious in their spirits and souls by the effective Power of Him Who died for them.
Our future holds very Bad or very Good news for all of us; it all depends on how we face it. We can face it deceived by haShatan, or redeemed by Yah’Shua. It is ONLY our trusting Faith in the Latter One that will make all the difference in that respect. And that decision is left for only you to do. I hope you make the Right one.
