Trumpet #6
The 6th Trumpet – a time to reap
The 6th Trumpet [Rev 9:13] sets loose four angels bound in the great river Euphrates, which river is Jesus Gospel. They are the four parts of the Destroyer, Abaddon, sealed in Jesus Word, but unbound when we add to it, or take away. These four angels are prepared for an hour, a day, a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men. Their plagues unfold in ‘four times’ of increasing severity. Like the 1st Church Angel message, that reveals we have turned from Jesus faith, back to the Law; but by the 4th, puts to death those who partake of ‘Jezebel church creeds.’ Or like the 1st of the four horse riders in the Seven Seals, which appears as Christ; but by the 4th, death and hell follow him.
Further, in Revelation, before the Seven Trumpets sound; ‘four angels hold back the four winds of heaven that blow upon the earth.’ These ‘four winds of heaven’ are the seven Church Angel Messages, the seven Seals, the seven Trumpets, and the seven Plagues. Within these ‘four winds,’ sit the plagues of the first ‘four horse riders,’ the first ‘four trumpets,’ and so on. Like wheels within wheels, the four beasts of Daniel, and the four locust phases of Joel, are the time and times of the destroying Angel, Abaddon; which consume Jesus truth and grace in our souls.
Yet God swore and Oath; and from these four winds come the ‘tribes of the earth… the Israel of God’
in the Gospels of Mathew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, Jesus said; ‘many false christs’ would come in his name, and having preached their gospels in the nations, ‘would reap great tribulation.’ In these Books, the season’s of sowing and reaping are divided in their midst, by the abomination of desolation foretold by Daniel. So, the 5th Trumpet declares the sowing of false gospels, like the 1st horse rider that appears as Christ. And the reaping of great tribulation in the 6th Trumpet, is the death and hell that follow the 4th. These are the seasons of sowing and reaping that unfolded, in the times of the Patriarch’s, and Apostles and still unfold in the Israel of God today.
When we deem ‘Jesus Blood’ insufficient to forgive our trespass, then this unbelief becomes sin. And while a clean life is important, only Jesus sacrifice and gospel make us holy. But when we trust in the works of our own hands to make us holy, then we are deceived, and from this comes self-righteous judgment in them, ‘whose breast-plates of fire and brimstone,’ condemn their brother. And so the Messiah’s sacrifice is replaced by our own. From this abomination come the plagues and desolation of our souls. The 6th Trumpet concludes; And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands… neither do they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
These are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written,.. may be fulfilled; – behold the 2nd woe is past and the 3rd comes quickly…
[The Seven Thunders] The Apostle Paul gave an insight into the ‘Archangel’s last trump, saying; And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly… Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump… we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
However, the mysteries of the ‘seven thunders uttered by the Angel of the Covenant,’ (the Archangel) that sound between the 6th and 7th Trumpets in Revelation, speak of God’s Covenants bound in his prophets, and remain sealed until; the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
[Strongs 7650 from H7651] The word “swear” in Hebrew means to, “seven oneself.” That is to repeat the same declaration seven times. While the Prophet Isaiah below declares that every tongue shall swear, the Apostle Paul confirms the end of the oath.
[Isaiah] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have ¹sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall ¹swear.
[Paul] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,… and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…
