<strong>The</strong> <strong>Basics</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bible</strong> Prophecy<br />
FIRST WOE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fifth Trumpet<br />
sees an angel open the<br />
bottomless pit which<br />
has hitherto been kept<br />
locked up. Out <strong>of</strong> it<br />
come what appears like locusts, yet<br />
they are not locusts, but imprisoned<br />
demonic beings like those in Jude 6<br />
& 2 Pet. 2:4. For a short time Satan<br />
will have his full complement <strong>of</strong><br />
demons to fight against Christ,<br />
before being bound for 1,000 yrs at<br />
Christ's second coming (Rev.9:1-12).<br />
SECOND WOE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sixth Trumpet<br />
brings together the<br />
largest army ever<br />
assembled on earth. It<br />
numbers 200mill. and<br />
is responible for the death <strong>of</strong> one<br />
third <strong>of</strong> mankind. This operation<br />
is demonically organized for a<br />
specific time. Yet men will not<br />
repent <strong>of</strong> idolatry and sin (9:13-21).<br />
<strong>The</strong> first 3 1 /2 yrs is passed<br />
(Rev.11:3,14).<br />
THIRD WOE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Seventh Trumpet<br />
announces the<br />
kingdom <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />
<strong>The</strong> time has come for<br />
God to destroy them<br />
that destroy the earth. <strong>The</strong> time to<br />
reap has come, and the kingdoms<br />
<strong>of</strong> earth will be compelled to submit<br />
to Christ. <strong>The</strong> seventh trumpet<br />
completes prophecy to the coming<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Lord, and releases the seven<br />
vials (Rev.10:7-11; 11:15-19; 15:1-8).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Seven Vial Judgments<br />
<strong>The</strong> vials are described as "the seven<br />
last plagues"(Rev.15:1; 21:9). <strong>The</strong>y<br />
bring us to the second 3 1 /2 years <strong>of</strong><br />
the Tribulation.<br />
160<br />
<strong>The</strong> First Vial<br />
A grievous sore falls on all<br />
who have the mark <strong>of</strong> the<br />
beast or worship his image<br />
(Rev.16:2).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Second Vial<br />
<strong>The</strong> sea is turned to blood<br />
and every living soul in<br />
the sea dies (Rev.16:3).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Third Vial<br />
<strong>The</strong> rivers and drinking water<br />
are turned to blood as<br />
punishment for shedding the<br />
blood <strong>of</strong> saints (Rev.16:4-7).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fourth Vial<br />
<strong>The</strong> sun is judged and men<br />
are scorched with great heat<br />
yet do not repent<br />
(Rev.16:8-9).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fifth Vial<br />
<strong>The</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> the Beast is<br />
filled with darkness and<br />
disease yet they do not<br />
repent (Rev.16:10-11).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sixth Vial<br />
Euphrates dries up for the<br />
armies <strong>of</strong> the kings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
east to come to<br />
Armageddon (Rev16:12-16).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Seventh Vial<br />
A great earthquake flattens<br />
the cities <strong>of</strong> the nations and<br />
Mystery Babylon is judged<br />
(Rev.16:17-21; ch17 & ch18).
