Revelation 8


When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. (Heaven turned 180 degrees when The Father looked away from His Son)
(About One half hour = Silence = Heaven remembered ALL SIN since creation and laid it all on Jesus Christ)

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. (Christ hanging on Calvary) He was given much incense, (ALL SIN WAS POURED UPON CHRIST!) that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar (The Cross of Calvary) which was before the throne. And the smoke (The DEATH) of the incense, (Of the SIN) with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. (From Jesus hand) Then the angel (Jesus) took the censer, (His Body) filled it with fire (SIN) from the altar, (The Cross) and threw it to the earth. (He became sin for you and me dear Christian) And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake. (Earth began to convulse “reeling like a drunkard” as “The SEED of LIFE” was planted in it “THE BLOOD” and the curse was broken!)
So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

THE WRATH OF THE FATHER IS POURED OUT ON HIS BELOVED SON

The first angel sounded: And hail and fire (The wrath of God) followed, mingled with blood, (The Blood of Jesus) and they were thrown to the earth. (The Blood of Christ is Omnipotent) And a third of the trees were burned up, (The flesh, 1/3rd of man was crucified with Christ) and all green grass was burned up. (All fallen nature of all mankind were burned up/ destroyed!)


THE POWER OF THE CRUCIFIXION, THE STONE THAT ROLLED DOWN AND CRUSHED THE IMAGE

Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire (Daniel 2) was thrown into the sea, (The world) and a third of the sea became blood. (The power of the flesh to keep us out of Heaven was destroyed) And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. (The flesh = 1/3rd of man the ship “the house” of the soul and its power over mans spirit was killed)


“IT IS FINISHED”

Then the third angel sounded: And a great star (DEATH) fell from heaven, (The law of sin and death ruled Heaven and earth “DEATH was thrown out of Heaven and fell upon our Savior and King”) burning like a torch, (Burning “like its darkness” was LIGHT) and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. (It fell on “Jesus Christ” and our fallen nature and killed it for eternity) The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died (Every man died, salvation is free for the asking) from the water, because it was made bitter.


Christ body dead (The flesh was defeated) on Calvary descends to Hades to deliver every man from “spiritual” sin and death

Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. (Darkness “The Grave” is where Jesus took 1/3rd + 1/3rd = 2/3rd = Jesus Christ took the deeds of the flesh and the old nature to Hades and left them there in “OUTER DARKNESS” for all eternity)
And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”
