God judges a nation, or if God judges a man. If God judges the earth, God must be justified. When He does so, in other words, He has to be righteous. Even with every judgment that God does, no man is going to be able to find fault with God. Like God, you didn’t have a right to do that. That was not right. will be cleared by any man’s decision, any man’s judgment. But on top of that, God really doesn’t care about your opinion or mind.

But if a man does, God has all the evidence on his side, how much time has God given to the earth? How many have probably heard preachers pour out their soul for the last 2,000 years and all warning that has been given, it’s like, hasn’t anybody listened as an anybody paid attention to what’s going on in the world? But now look, the next thing, the fourth angel wrath upon the sun. Remember, God’s pouring out his wrath upon the earth and then he means what he’s going to be doing on the earth and about the oceans and about the rivers and the waters, the fountains, the green grass, the trees, the sun, he’s just about covering it all.

He’s going to pour out his judgment upon this earth. Now these are things in the mind of a natural person. These are just natural consequences. You know what, this is just a catastrophic event and it was going to happen anyway and no gods in charge and he’s not going let us do whatever we want to do forever and ever and ever. Payday, someday. Payday’s coming. So look there in Revelation chapter 8 verse 12 and the fourth angel sounded and the third part of the sun was smitten.

Third part of the moon and third part of the stars. So as the third part of them was darkened, the day shone not for a third part of it and the night likewise. And I beheld and heard an angel flan to the mist of heaven. See this is the heavenly view of heaven. Saying with a loud voice, whoa, whoa, whoa to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are yet to sound.

So we know there’s three more that’s going to sound and each one of these last three, number 5, 6, 7, there are going to be three woes and the reason is because it’s really going to get bad because they’re gonna hone in on the effect it’s gonna actually have upon the people. So look there in Revelation 16, verse 8, and the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun. Power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

Men were scorched with great heat, blasphemed the name of God which had power over these plays and they repented not to give him glory. God wants his people to give him glory, to give him honor, to know who he is. There are several verses that talks about no testament. Every man shall know the Lord. From one end of the earth to the other, all shall know me. And nobody is going to say, do you know the Lord? Because everybody is going to know it.

day is coming. But it says, whoa, whoa, whoa, to the inhibitors of the earth. See those last three things up there? Whoa, whoa, whoa, the ones that I underlined, to the inhibitors of the earth by reason because of the last three that’s coming. Now, in Revelation 16 and verse 8 when it says the fourth angel poured out his valive on the sun, power given to the escorts men with a… But in other words, it’s going to be so hot.

Now whether or not it’s because as we studied last week, the Bible says the earth is going to be shaken upon its axis and it’s going to wobble back and forth like a drunk man. And whether or not it’s going to get closer to the sun or because it’s going to destroy what we call our ozone layer and people are going to be on fire. It’s going to be hot. I have no idea what Al Gore are going to do about all of this.

But it’s going to be the people upon the earth are going to suffer. And these are going to be a bad time in which to live. Look there at the fifth angel, the fifth angel, the rat upon the seat of the beast. The first whoa. Now you won’t see that in the Bible as you read it, but it’s because I have put that there only as notes. I am not trying to change Scripture or add Scripture. These are just notes of mine.

The heavenly divine view, look at this. Revelation chapter 9 and verse 1 says, And the fifth angel sounded. And I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth. and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. He opened the bottomless pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit, and then the smoke of a great furnace in the sun and the air were darkened by reason to smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locust upon the earth, and upon them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

It was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of God and their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was at the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man. And those day shall men seek death shall not find it, shall desire to die, death shall flee from them.

And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared on the battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were the faces of men. And they had hair on the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And you see, what is that? I ain’t got a clue. I can guess like most people do. Well, these are the fighter jets and the guys who painted pictures on them.

And they roar and they fly and all. And I ain’t got a clue. And there’s a good possibility, a little yank-yology. I believe that there’s probably was a lot of this chemical stuff over and like an Iraq, they probably got a few unbommed. You realize what all that stuff could do as it seeks to the underground? The Bible describes it coming out of the river Euphrates coming from Iraq and that who knows what’s going on under the ground with any kind of weird stuff being produced.

And people and animals or whatever and lococide being deformed and whatever. I’ve seen it where they’ve had it on TV. Some frogs were growing limbs and kind of weird places in their lives were all twisted and all kind of stuff, chemical stuff that had gotten on the some of the frogs. I don’t know if you all ever saw that, they’ve had it on TV before. Who knows what’s been done? But anyway, it’s going to come from a place over there in the Middle East.

Chances are where the river Euphrates is. And there’s going to be a lot of stuff that’s going to take place. And the Bible describes that in the book of Revelation in chapter nine. And it talks about how this is going to be persecution upon the people. But it also is upon what we call a polyon. If you look there at the next page, they had tales like under scorpions and they were steams in their tails and their power was to hurt men five months.

They had a king over them which is the angel of the bottom of the spit whose name in the Hebrew tongue is a baton but in the Greek tongue has his name a polyon. One woe is past and behold there comes two more woe’s here after. So this is going to take place. Well, how bad is all this going to be? It gets some time, let me say, all that, but we’ll look at more of that stuff as we go through each chapter.

But I just wanted to kind of give you a picture of chapter eight and nine when it talks about, you know, the angels and the heavenly view. And compare it with the angels in chapter 16 of the earthly view and show you how they are related and that they do overlap. The earthly view here in Revelation 16 and verse 10. And the fifth angel poured out his valive on the seat of the beast. His kingdom was full of darkness and they gnawed their tongue for pain, blasting the God of heaven because of their pain and their swords and repented not of their deeds.

Now remember this, Satan is the prince of the power of the air. Now the air is the last whoa, but this is the realm of Satan’s power. He has supposedly gotten control of the earth. He’s in charge. Look what a great job he’s doing. He’s pouring out everything that he can, and the Lord is zapping them every time he turns around, and everything is falling apart. And he has no power to stop what God is doing. Now he says, deceived and lied to the people for the first three and a half years, and because they would not believe the truth, they believed the lie.

Now, the sixth angel, his rat is upon the river Euphrates, as you’ll see here. In Revelation chapter 9 and verse 13, it makes this statement, the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God. The only reason I’m on the line of a few of these things is to show you that it’s something that takes place in heaven. Saying to the sixth angel, which had to trumpet, lose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

The four angels were loose which were prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year for to slay the third part of men. The number of the army of the horsemen were 200,000,000. Or on some say, it’s about 200 million soldiers. Now, some say this could be a reference to a nation like China that just happens to lie east of Israel. And it also talks about that God says that the river Euphrates will be dried up to make way for the kings of the east.

And that China boasts today that they have about 200 million soldiers they can put in on the field. And it’s just a coincidence so probably. I have no idea. But he says, on a number of the army of the horsemen, 200,000,000. And I heard the number of them. And thus, I saw the horses’ indivision. And then that sat on them, having breast plates of fire and of jasmine and brimstone. And the heads of the horses were the heads of lions.

And all the mouth issued fire and smoke and brimstone by these three were the third part of the main kill by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth and in their tails. For their tales were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt, and the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hand, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone, and of wood which neither can see nor hear nor walk.

Neither repented they of their murders nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication nor of their theft. In other words, God was trying to ring their bell to get people to straighten up, and they still will not do it. Do you know we’ve got people in America? They know right and still won’t do right. I know Christians that know right and still won’t do right. You don’t know anybody like that, do you?

I mean if we only knew what was right, we’d do it right. We only knew the will of God. Yeah, boy. Now look at the next portion, down in Revelation chapter 16 and verse 12. Here it says, and the sixth angel poured out his val upon the great river Euphrates. So it’s not just a coincidence that in 913 the sixth angel sounded the great river Euphrates and then in chapter 16 verse 12 and the sixth angel poured out his val upon the great river Euphrates and the water thereof was dried up that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

I want to know where to go on. Well you head east, well from over here and here’s Israel, well, slap my mouth. There’s a battle that’s going to take place. And God says in the last days, He says, now they’ll draw all these nations that are going to come together against Israel. And He’s going to put them into this great big old valley. And then He’s going to jump in there with His feet and have some grape juice called blood.

As high as the horses, bridal. Now whether or not that’s in the plane because I’ve been to the plane and I can’t imagine blood that high, that wide, that long. But maybe by the time it gets down there, by the Kidron Valley, outside of the eastern side of the wall of Jerusalem, it could be. But then what do I know? I don’t know. And most people won’t be able to tell you any different than what I’m telling you right now.

It’s amazing that you can get all these common terrors and you try to read these common terrors and get a little light. It’s amazing how much light the Bible sheds upon these common terrors. Look at this now. And he says, and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of false prophet. There is your unholy trinity, the unholy trinity. And how does a frog catch its prey with the tongue?

And they are going to life. You realize that there’s people in our own administration here in our own wonderful Christian country of America that lied to us. I knew it was going to shock you, but we have people in government that’s lying through their teeth. Have you ever listened to a politician who promises promises promises? Or what is he going to do for you? It’s not what they’re going to do, you know, for you it’s what they’re going to do to you.

Government can’t do anything for you. Can’t give you anything unless it takes it from you first and can only give you a small portion back to you. If that, but it has to take it from you first. I thought about running for government for office about 30 years ago. I’m glad I didn’t, but they catch you with the tongue, with the lies, the deceit, and people will listen and fall into the trap. And it says, for they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, devils, working miracles.

People say, well, if it’s a miracle, it must be of God. No. The devil has power. The devil can lie and deceive. And it says about the devil himself in chapter 12 of the book of Revelation, he has deceived the whole world. And he says, working miracles going forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. When what’s the name of that battle is?

Well that’s what could be for them. Here’s that statement, Behold I come as a thief, blessed is he that watches and keepeth his garment, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. Behold I come as a thief. See we’re talking about at the end of the tribulation period, look there, and he gathered them together in a place called in the Hebrew tongue what? Armageddon. Behold, I come as a thief in the night. This is the tribulation period. It’s not the rapture.

But anyway, the second woe is passed and behold the third woe comes quickly. Look at the last page. Wrath upon the air. What’s going to happen? With thunder and enlightening earthquakes. God describes a terrible terrible earthquake that’s going to take place upon the earth. Remember when Christ comes back in His feet touch upon the Mount of Ballelujah, close to Cleven the mist and there’ll be a very great valley and I believe the water from the Mediterranean where we’ll be able to run all the way through down to the Dead Sea and it says that people will be able to sit around the Dead Sea and catch fish.

It’s coming. But it’s going to shake in every island. Everything’s going to be moved. Revelation 11, verse 15 said, and the seventh angel sounded. And there were great voices in heaven saying, well, now we done gone through six of these. Now it’s the seventh one. You remember there were seven statements made by Jesus Christ when He was on the cross. And the last statement that he made was, it is finished. It is finished.

Now, here we’re talking about all the things that are going on concerning the wrath of God upon the earth. And here it’s going to say it is done. It’s done. Look there. And the seventh angel sounded and there was great voices in heaven saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall reign forever and ever. Now see this is looking into the future it’s all over with and it’s done.

Yay we won and John comes back and none of it’s happened yet. Two thousand years still ain’t happened yet but it’s written in the Word of God as though it’s already a done deal. That’s why when we read the word of God, you and I should take hope because see we can tell what’s going to take place and we win, we win. He says the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever and the four and twenty elders that we saw back there in chapter four and five which sat before God on their seats fell upon their faces and worship God saying we give these thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art and was, and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee, thy great power, and hath reigned.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should have give reward unto thy servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name small and great, and should have destroyed them which destroy the earth. and the temple of God was open in heaven. And there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament or the ark of the covenant that what’s that guy that was trying to find it, Raiders of the Lost Ark?

Well I know where it is. That’s right. And there were lightens and boises and thunders and an earthquake, earthquake and great hail. Now look at the human view in chapter 16. the seventh angel poured out his vial upon the air into the air. And there was a great voice out of the heaven, or temple of heaven, from the throne saying, it is done. And there were voices and thunder and lightens and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth.

So mighty an earthquake and so great. The great city was divided in the three parts, the cities of the nations fell. Babylon came in to remember before God to give unto her the cup of the wind of the fierceness of his rat. And every island fled away. Mountains were not found. There was fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent which they estimate between 100 to 120 pounds. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hill for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Now, say, what did I learn tonight? I haven’t got a clue if we learned anything. Only that God has said what’s going to take place. He’s got seven angels and they’re going to blow their trumpet and the judgments will begin. So he tells us what’s going to take place and then it happens upon the earth. And then when it’s all over with and it’s all done, all the nations of the earth, the kingdoms of the earth will become the kingdom of our Lord.

And he’s coming to give as he says there, rewards to his saints. Now remember, salvation going to heaven, that is the gift of God. He did all the work. He went to the cross, paid for the sins of the world, and all that we have to do is believe he did it for And we trust Him as our Savior and God said He would save us, give us eternal life And we get to go to heaven because of what He’s done for us.

But boy, isn’t there a lot of other stuff in the Bible besides just how to go to heaven? Let me show you this hand represent you and me The wallet represent all the bad things that we do we all have sin on us In other words, we have all done things wrong. And because we have the wages of sin is death, the eternal separation from God. But God loves us. He wants us to go to heaven. God doesn’t want us to be separated from Him.

He wants us to be with Him. Because of sin, we can’t go to heaven. See, God says that He is pure and holy, righteous, and no sin can enter into the holy city. So therefore, only perfection can be there. So how can we ever be perfect? So how in the world could buy our good words, we ever get to be perfect? Can you make yourself perfect if you tried real hard? that you could ever do will ever make you perfect.

That’s why you had needed a Savior. This hand represent Jesus Christ the Lord, God in the flesh, came into the world because He loves us. He hates our sin because it separates us from Him. So Jesus Christ who had no sinned and half to die. But because He loved us, He took our sins, paid for it on the cross, came back from the dead and said, if you and I, if If we would believe He did it for us, it put that payment to our account.

We get to go to heaven on what Christ did for us. There’s no tricks to it, no gimmicks. If I offered you this microphone and you accepted, you would have a microphone and if I offered you my wallet and you accepted, you’d have a wallet. If Christ walked in here and offered to eternal life and you accepted, you would have eternal life. And if it’s eternal life, then it lasts forever. And if it lasts forever, and all your sins are paid, then where would you go when you die?

They go to heaven. So doesn’t it make sense to trust Jesus Christ as your only hope of going to heaven? And once you trust Him as your Savior, God gives you eternal life, you’re His child forever. He’ll never cast you out. That’s the best news I ever heard. Let’s pray, shall we? Every head bowed and every eye closed, no one looking around. If tonight you’ve never trusted Lord, but you know you shouldn’t. You don’t like what you see coming upon the earth.

And I’m just telling you what the book says. I didn’t make it up, I didn’t write it. I can’t explain it all. I know that God loves you. I know you paid for your sins just like you did for me. I can’t answer all your questions. you see, trust the Lord with some of your questions. Learn some things later. Right now, just believe that you need to trust Him to go to heaven. And if you will trust Him, I’d like to have prayer for you.

And I’m going to ask you in just a moment to raise your hand. Raising your hand doesn’t save you. Just to let me know that what I said made sense to you. You’re saying, pray to pray for me. I’m going to trust Christ as I save you tonight. Is there anyone at all before we close? If you’re listening to my way of internet, why not right now just the best you know how? Right where you’re steady. You’re going to say, Lord, I believe Christ did that for me.

And I’m trusting Him right now as my only hope of what heaven. And friend God said, if you trust Him, He would save you. Our Father, we thank you so much for this time together, for the study of your Word. We pray Your will to be done. Thank you for blessing this ministry and give us a good day on Sunday.
