<h4>The Trumpet Judgments</h4>
|
||
<h5>Background</h5>
|
||
<p>The Book of Joshua as a prophetic model? Joshua = <i>Yehoshua</i> = Jesus. Joshua leads God’s people to dispossess the usurpers on behalf of His people (Originally 10 nations: 3 down, 7 left). He crossed over the Jordan on the 10th of Nisan; circumcised, 14th of Nisan (Triumphal Entry: 10th of Nisan; Crucifixion: 14th of Nisan).</p>
|
||
<p>Who <i>really</i> fought the battle of Jericho? Jesus (<a onclick="return mV('Jos',5,'13-15')">Josh 5:13-15</a>)</p>
|
||
<p>Laws of the Torah <i>ignored</i> ? •; Ark itself goes to war •; Levites <i>lead</i> march; (exempt from military duties) •; 7 days of trumpets: 7 times on the <i>sabbath</i> ?</p>
|
||
<p>Why <b>“two witnesses”</b> sent: certainly not for military intelligence to develop this battle plan! ...to save a Gentile woman.</p>
|
||
<p>Silence preceded the engagement; Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Rev',8,1)">Rev 8:1</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Adversary leader: <b>Adoni-Zedek</b>—“Lord of Righteousness”— who was defeated with hailstones from Heaven, and Signs in the Sun and Moon (<a onclick="return mV('Jos',10,'1-')">Josh 10</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>Kings hide in caves (<a onclick="return mV('Jos',10,15)">Josh 10:15</a> vs. <a onclick="return mV('Rev',6,15)">Rev 6:15</a>)</p>
|
||
<p><b>Jubilee Year: </b>Begins after Joshua’s conquest. Debts forgiven, land returns to original owners, slaves go free: “The time of the restitution of all things.” <a onclick="return mV('Act',3,21)">Acts 3:21</a>. (Why does this begin on Yom Kippur rather than Rosh Hashanna?) Are we about to enter the 70th Jubilee Year? Will it prove to be prophetically significant?</p>
|
||
<h5>Exposition</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[1] “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour”: Why “silence” before the “7 Trumpet” judgments? [Cf. Silence after Handel’s <i>Messiah</i> ...The Scroll is completely open; lull before the storm?]</p>
|
||
<p><a onclick="return mV('Zep',1,7,'14-18')">Zeph 1:7, 14-18</a>. Trumpet of God when law given (<a onclick="return mV('Exo',19,'16-19')">Exd 19:16-19</a>); 7 trumpets at Jericho (<a onclick="return mV('Jos',6,'13-16')">Josh 6:13-16</a>).</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[2] “And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets”: [These angels have names in the Apocrypha: Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sarakiel, Garbirel, and Phanuel.]</p>
|
||
<p>[Don’t confuse the 7th trumpet judgment with the “last trump” of <a onclick="return mV('1Co',15,52)">1Cr 15:52</a>. There will be trumpets in the Millennium.]</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[3] “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne”:</p>
|
||
<p>“Censer”: Cf. frankincense; priestly duty.</p>
|
||
<p>“All saints”: None lost (<a onclick="return mV('Jhn',6,'37-40')">Jhn 6:37-40</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jhn',17,12)">Jhn 17:12</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Heb',10,'26-31')">Heb 10:26-31</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>“Altar”: Tabernacle and Temple are but “figures” of the true altar in heaven (<a onclick="return mV('Heb',9,'23-24')">Heb 9:23-24</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Heb',8,5)">Heb 8:5</a>).</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[4] “And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.”</p>
|
||
<p>Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, and Paul prayed this prayer: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.” Indeed (Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Psa',7,'1-')">Psa 7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',26,'1-')">Psa 26</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',35,'1-')">Psa 35</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',52,'1-')">Psa 52</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',55,'1-')">Psa 55</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',58,'1-')">Psa 58</a>, et al.). The purpose of prayer is not to get man’s will done in heaven, but God’s will done on earth.</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[5] “And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake”: Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Isa',6,'5-7')">Isa 6:5-7</a>, the Vision of Jesus (<a onclick="return mV('Jhn',12,41)">Jhn 12:41</a>).</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[6] “And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.”</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[7] “The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth...”:</p>
|
||
<p>“Hail” = always used of judgment (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',28,2)">Isa 28:2</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Job',38,22,23)">Job 38:22-23</a>; Cf. Egypt, <a onclick="return mV('Exo',9,'23-25')">Exd 9:23-25</a>). Also compare with the 7th plague against Egypt (<a onclick="return mV('Exo',9,'18-26')">Exd 9:18-26</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Joe',2,30)">Joel 2:30</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>“Trees”: Greek word, <i>dendron</i> = “fruit trees.”</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[8] “And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood”: Cf. 1st Egyptian plague (<a onclick="return mV('Exo',7,'19-21')">Exd 7:19-21</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',105,29)">Psa 105:29</a>; Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Jer',51,25)">Jer 51:25</a>; (<a onclick="return mV('Mat',21,21)">Mat 21:21</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>More than 3/4 earth’s surface is ocean. [Atlantic = 1/3?]</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[9] “And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed”: A few years ago, there were over 25,000 ocean-going merchant ships registered; <a onclick="return mV('Hos',4,3)">Hos 4:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Zep',1,3)">Zeph 1:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',2,16)">Isa 2:16</a>.</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[10] “And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters”: Figurative? <a onclick="return mV('Jhn',4,13,14)">Jhn 4:13-14</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',84,6,7)">Psa 84:6-7</a> (Heb).

|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[11] “And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter”:</p>
|
||
<p>Greek: <i>absinthe.</i> Undrinkable without harm. OT: Synonymous with sorrow, calamity; hemlock, bitterness (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',9,15)">Jer 9:15</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',23,15)">Jer 23:15</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Lam',3,15,19)">Lam 3:15, 19</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Amo',5,7)">Amos 5:7</a>).

|

<p class="hangIndent">[12] “And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise”:</p>

<h5>The First 4 Trumpet Judgments</h5>
|
||
<p>(1st four are “natural”; the next two are “demonic”...)</p>
|
||
<h5>“Judgment of the Thirds”</h5>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>1st Trumpet: Aimed at the earth; 1/3 trees, grass dies.</li>
|
||
<li>2nd Trumpet: Aimed at the Sea; 1/3 of fish, ships destroyed.</li>
|
||
<li>3rd Trumpet: Aimed at the waters; 1/3 part dies. Star called “Wormwood.”</li>
|
||
<li>4th Trumpet: Aimed at the Sun, moon, stars: 1/3 sky darkened.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>The final 3 Trumpets are also called “3 Woes.” [<a onclick="return mV('Rev',9,'1-')">Rev 9</a>.]</p>
|
||
<p>There appears to be a “logarithmic” progression in the various judgments: Seals (<a onclick="return mV('Rev',6,'1-')">Rev 6</a>), Trumpets (<a onclick="return mV('Rev',8,'1-')">Rev 8</a> & <a onclick="return mV('Rev',9,'1-')">Rev 9</a>), and Bowls (<a onclick="return mV('Rev',15,'1-')">Rev 15</a> & <a onclick="return mV('Rev',16,'1-')">Rev 16</a>).</p>
