Meteors
A Great Mountain Burning with Fire
Revelation 8:7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled 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.
Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck
8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck
Revelation 8:10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Luke 21:25-27
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
War in the Heavens
[ Satan Thrown Out of Heaven ] And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
Michael and the dragon/Satan
Satan gets ejected from Heaven
Revelation 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Fallen Angels - God Chained for Enoch's protection
- Thousands, Millions, or maybe Billions
- They will be seeking to destroy anyone representing the image of God
- They can't be killed, human weapons will be useless
- They can appear as an angel of light or assume many forms (shape shifting)
- They will recruit help out of the Abyss/Hades/the Pit
The Abyss will be unlocked (Locust)(Nephilim)(Demons)
The chains will be removed and they will swarm
Nephilim/Giants (Fallen Angel Offspring) They are cannibals and have been known to eat the inhabitants of the land. (See Numbers 13:32 below, highlight emphasis mine)
Numbers 13:30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”
32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Demons
2) God told us beforehand:
Luke 10:18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Who is God talking to here when He makes this promise in Luke 10:19?
Jesus is talking to the seventy (70) and all of us who are His and are abiding in Him. Does this describe you? Are you sure you don't have one foot in the ways of the world? This person believed she was good to go, but... was she? God is His Mercy shared something with her that was horrifying.
3) Safety and protection in Jesus and the Holy Ghost:
Don't be caught short! Be Transformed! You cannot serve two masters, you must be abiding in Him and one who has separated themselves from the world.
Obviously we live in the world but as sojourners; we should be living fully for Him, focused on Him, and not participating in the ways of the world.
Preparation: The ways or cares of this world pull you into the enemies camp one step at a time by side tracking your focus.
We are made up of Spirit, Body, and Soul
All three parts of the human being need nourishment to grow and survive.
- Your spirit and soul is eternal
- Your body may give you 70-100 years and then it's used up and returns to dust
Your body needs food and essential care every day as does your soul and spirit. The more you nourish your spirit the more it brings your soul in line with Gods direction for your life.
If you don't care for your spirit on a daily basis you'll soon be off into the dark corners of the world enjoying the lusts of the body.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Renewing your mind comes from daily reading of the Word, spending time in prayer and fellowship with Him. This will increase your spirit and bring body and soul in line with God's desires for you. Failure to do this could leave you wanting when your need is greatest. He calls us friends, friends usually spend time doing things together and He wants to be part of everything you do.
Two terms that we need to understand. Abiding and Unclean, both are critical to our relationship with Him. I have presented the definitions below from the King James Dictionary (KJD) because I use the New King James Version of the Bible.
Abiding defined, (KJD): Dwelling remaining continuing enduring awaiting Continuance fixed state residence an enduring
John 15:15-17
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”
Unclean defined (KJD): 1) Not clean foul dirty filthy.
2) In the Jewish law, ceremonially impure not cleansed by ritual practices. Numbers 19 . Leviticus 11 . Romans 14
3) Foul with sin. Matthew 10 .
4) Not in covenant with God. 1 Corinthians 7
5) Lewd unchaste, Adultery of the heart, consisting of inordinate and unclean affections. No unclean person - hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Ephesians 5.
4) What type of Christian/believer are you?
- Brand new Christian and you are still getting to know Jesus. You have repented of your sin, asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart and save you from your sins. You've told Him that you believe He is the only Son of God, that He died for your sins, rose again to Life Eternal, and ascended to the right hand of the Father. You should be reading the Gospel of John and be in fellowship with other believers.
- Long time casual Christian/believer; You attend church regularity, listen to the sermon and maybe read along with the Scripture in church. You were baptized, as a child by sprinkling of water, confirmed at age twelve and believe you are saved and going to heaven. Are you? Did you repent of your sins and ask Him into your heart like the brand new Christian/believer did?
2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
- Mature Christian/believer; You have been born again, baptized by immersion, attend church and worship services, pray and give thanks before eating, and read your Bible a few times a week as time permits.
5) The fully prepared Christian:
- Mature Christian/believer and over-comer; You have been born again, baptized by immersion, baptized by the Holy Ghost/Spirit and Fire. You read your Bible daily, fellowship and commune with our Lord daily and share the Gospel with those who don't know Jesus Christ. You walk in the Spirit, pray and sing in the Spirit, repent of your sins daily and seek His forgiveness, then you seek the Holy Ghost's guidance in everything you do. Your best friend is Jesus then your wife/husband as the case may be.
The Holy Ghost is impenetrable by any evil and offers the only protection available for the days ahead.
Why not make some adjustments in your daily routine while there is still time and become an over-comer.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Rejoice in our King
Pray that you will able to escape what is coming but prepare for the worst and rejoice always in Jesus!
