  • Simon on Revelation 9 - 2 years ago
    The fifth trumpet gives way to the sixth seal that gives way to the sixth trumpet:

    ( Revelation 9:1-11) fifth trumpet.

    Afghanistan war ends

    April 14, 2021, WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden said Wednesday he will withdraw remaining U.S. troops from the 20 year "forever war" in Afghanistan. His plan is to pull out all American forces numbering 2,500 - by this Sept. 11, the anniversary of the attacks.

    ( Isaiah 33:1) Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. (sixth trumpet warning)

    The sixth seal:

    ( Revelation 6:12-14) unfolds like a rolled up scroll. The two separate sixth seal events start with Revelation 6:13, then vs 14's "scroll", then to vs 12's earthquake, which triggers the day of the Lord. Logic stands that vs 14 must happen before vs 12, being that vs 12 signifies the iconic sixth trumpet, "the day of the Lord" battle. vs 17 verifies it. The sixth seal earthquake ushers in the sixth trumpet.

    ( Revelation 6:13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (vs 14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (vs 12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (vs 17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

    ( Revelation 11:13-14) And in that hour there was a great earthquake ( Revelation 6:12), and a tenth of the city collapsed.... vs 14 The second woe is past....

    vs 13's great earthquake begins the second woe. Also, verses 13 & 14 are 3.5 years apart.
