The Finger of God Part 3

When the 7th seal is opened there was silence in heaven for about 30min.

An angel with a golden censer is seen standing before the altar of God to offer up, incense, upon the golden altar which is before the throne of God. The incense is offered along with the prayers of all saints, and the prayers of the saints ascend up to God along with the incense.

What are the prayers of the saints unto God?
They are a sweet smelling savor unto the LORD!
Because they are prayers prayed in Faith, in Spirit and in Truth, in Trust in Honor unto the LORD, because HE is our all in all!

Then the angel fills the censer with fire from the altar and casts to the earth. This will cause much thunder and lightening, and an earthquake.

Then the 7 angels are given 7 trumpets and prepare to sound them.

1st Trumpet - Hail and Fire mingled with blood are cast upon the earth and
1/3 of part of the trees and all green grass is burnt up.

2nd Trumpet -A great mountain burning with fire is cast into the sea and
1/3 part of the sea becomes blood
1/3 part of the creatures in the sea die
1/3 part of the ships are destroyed

3rd Trumpet –A great star falls from Heaven, it falls upon
1/3 part of the rivers and the fountains of waters
The name of the star is “Wormwood” and a
1/3 part of the waters become “Wormwood”
Men die because the water is poisoned.

This is reminds me of the plagues of Egypt, and remember the plagues did not affect Israel. So for the saints of God to still be here during this time period, it would be no hard thing for God to keep us.

4th Trumpet-
1/3 part of the sun
1/3 part of the moon
1/3 part of the stars-are darkened,

Day and night do not shine for
1/3 part of either time.

Then an angel is heard as he flies through the heavens saying “Woe, Woe, Woe to the inhabitants of the earth because of the 3 trumpets which are yet to sound”

5th Trumpet – A star falls from Heaven,

And the 5th angel is given the key to the bottomless pit, and he opens it and smoke arises as if from a great fiery furnace. The sun and the air are darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
Then locusts come out of the smoke upon the earth, and they are given power.
They are commanded not to hurt the grass or any green thing or any tree.
(These would be the green things that were not of the 1/3 part already destroyed)

So who is in control during all these things that are to come upon the earth?

GOD!

They are given permission to hurt men, torment men for 5 months but not those men who have the seal of God in their foreheads. This is the 1st Woe

Again here God is protecting His people as He did in Egypt!

In those days men will seek death and will not find it, they shall desire to die and not be able to. The tormenting locusts have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, Satan.

6th Trumpet – The 6th Angel is told to loose the four angels which are bound in the great Euphrates River.

These Four angels are prepared for – 1year, 1month, 1 day, and 1 hour to slay 1/3 of all men -they do this by rising up a 2million man army.

This great slaughter is still not enough to convince those idolaters who are left, they will refuse to repent of their wickedness, sorcery's, murders, fornication or their thefts.

It is like Abraham told the Rich man, “Your spiritually dead, rebellious relatives would not be persuaded to repent, even if one were to be raised from the dead and sent to testify of God to them.!”

Hell is created for the fearful, the unbelieving and all who do wickedness.
