The seal should be the event just before the trumps begin to sound. It should manifest itself to repented Gentiles as something like Saul experienced and the 2 witnesses are the only ones that are sealed for protection and given some powers that go along with their duties. The duties of the sealed ones is to be witnesses to what the trumps and vials bring. De:4:29: But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. De:4:30: When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; De:4:31: (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. |

4Q529 User ID: 34246797 United States 02/12/2013 03:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Any idea exactly WHAT these locusts are? Aliens? Planes and helicopters as in war? Quoting: Lisa*Lisa Whatever it is.......it ain't good!! Any idea? Really? Do you really want to know the answer, or are you just playing? First of all, it is the Fifth Trumpet, which is the emotion that pertains to the Fifth Church or 'charkra'; that is, Sorrow. This is a poetic description of an extreme sorrow. (Try to read it with that understanding rather than what you have been told by the Christian theologians. As Joni Mitchell says in The Circle Game: "Fearful when the sky was full of thunder and tearful at the falling of a star.) The "locusts" are an air symbol, signifying thoughts of the "self" and the 'thinker' which oppose Revealed Truth. Those are the thoughts that lead to violence, destruction and annihilation of peoples. Those thoughts and their associated emotions do not kill, but cause pain for "five months"; five being an echo of sorrow and months being symbolic of "moon" which is also a symbol of the 'unconscious', which is the bottomless pit. "Golden crowns" on their head: both the consciousness of the "self" and the consciousness of the 'thinker' consider themselves 'God'. "Breast plates of iron": hard-hearted, blood-thirsty and vicious. Get your relationship with Jesus right, time is short! The locusts can't hurt you if you have the seal of God on your forehead. Quoting: Lisa*Lisa People with the "seal of God" on their foreheads are those who have received the Vision of the "Son of man", the "Vision of Knowledge", the "Tree of Life", or the "Night Journey" of Mohammed. You have not received that Vision because you have none of the Knowledge that accompanies that Vision. If you haven't repented and asked forgiveness for your sins through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you better start thinking about it NOW! Quoting: Lisa*Lisa The doctrine of "vicarious atonement" is one of the most blood-thirsty, hardhearted and vicious doctrines ever devised by the 'mind' of man (really Satan) to destroy the Teaching of Jesus. If you believe that doctrine, you don't have to worry about being attacked by the "locusts". You ARE a "locust"; legions of which caused the Holocaust, for example.

It has a powerful mouth for its size for biting and chewing, and venom as it needs from the mouth. Its tail is identical to the scorpion. Its body and head is mostly grasshopper in appearance. It is an omnivore that can eat plants and animals and thrives unlike any other. It will come in numbers that will darken the sky and ground. It will destroy food crops, and it will kill and injure humans and other animals as well. |

Quoting: Lisa*Lisa Unless it's something completely supernatural that we can't even imagine. I'm leaning twords the alien invasion.......but we all know they are in fact demons. Only Satan is tossed out in the 5th trump, what he releases from the pit that manifests into the locusts is a fallen angel already in the Pit. That fallen angels was around before the flood and it was put into the Pit during the flood (which would not affect an immortal being) De:33:2: And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. It is also fallen angels that make up the 'sands of the sea' number that is with Satan after he is released after being in chains for 1,000 years. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9636450 United States 02/12/2013 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A vision from a dear friend that she recorded back in march, 2012. She saw the pope handing over the keys. Quoting: Lisa*Lisa Next, the locusts come out from the pit! Revelation 9:1-12 "The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer). The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come." Any idea exactly WHAT these locusts are? Aliens? Planes and helicopters as in war? Whatever it is.......it ain't good!! Get your relationship with Jesus right, time is short! The locusts can't hurt you if you have the seal of God on your forehead. If you haven't repented and asked forgiveness for your sins through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you better start thinking about it NOW! It is quite clearly obvious what the Locust are. They are Military Attack Helicopters. 1. The locusts "wings" beat the sky with the sound of a thousand horses stampeding? The Helicopter blades beat the air with the sound of a thousand horses stampeding! "Whopita-clopita! Whopita-Clopita! Whopita-clopita! Whopita-Clopita! Whopita-clopita! Whopita-Clopita! Whopita-clopita! Whopita-Clopita!" You can the hear power of the Helicopter blades as they beat the very air into submission, and when they want you to hear them, you can hear these miraculous machines of war as they approach from miles away! The power of their wings (blades) beating the very air and not only can you hear it, but you can feel it! 2. Th Locusts have the face of a man... The Helicopters have the face of a man, the face of the pilot in the window. 3. The locusts have the steel teeth of a lion or a beast. The helicopters have the teeth of a shark, lion or beast painted on their nose cones, painted onto the steel... 4. The Locusts have breast plates of iron... The helicopters have an hard metallic underside where the 'breasts' would be if the helicopter were an animal. 5. The Locust have the tail of a scorpion... The helicopters tail angles UP, like a scorpions! 6. The Locust's have the power to kill and this power comes from their tails. The helicopter maintains its air superiority and stability through its tail, and tail rotor. Take that away and the helicopter is useless. Without it, and the helicopter has no "power" to take to the air to kill... 7. The Locusts appeared as horses arrayed for war. The military attack helicopter is indeed a powerful flying steed with a deadly arsenal ready for war! It is quite clear that these Locusts are powerful military attack helicopters granted lawful authority over the citizenry to strike and kill with impunity, anyone they believe is acting against the best interests of the government which they serve. However, the question remains as to which government these helicopters are the military force of. Both Daniel and Revelation tell us of a terrible time when the world is ravaged by war, this happens BEFORE the great One World Ruler rises to power. In fact, it is this very War that propels him to power on the premise that he is a "Prince of Peace" because he brings about the end of the war. But this war is brought on by a powerful EASTERN force, the immediate predecessor to the great Ten Nation Empire overwhich the One World Ruler presides. The predecessor wages a powerful multi-nation military campaign throughout the middle east and followed dramatic victories there, it quickly moves to march WEST. This is described as "The King of the North", he and his military forces will march west and carry their terrible war through Europe, conquering much and ruling by the sword (or gun); and then Daniel writes that "he will set his eyes upon the islands of the west" ... meaning that he will cross the Atlantic, and carry his devastating war to lasts on the other side of the ocean, to Canada and the America's. This is possibly where these "locusts" come from. Powerful military attack helicopters of an eastern invasion force. HOWEVER. Daniel further writes that this military campaign will be brought to a sudden and abrupt end by a powerful "western magistrate" who orchestrates a crushing military defeat that is so terrible that the Eastern "King of the North" will be "unable to repay outrage for outrage"... and he and his forces are then forced to retreat back east to their own lands. Lastly, the Pope and the Keys... The Pope can not hand over the Keys, because the War is started when the Pope is assassinated. He can't hand over the keys, when he is dead. The Pope's assassination is foretold in the Bible, as well is through the Three Visions of Fatima, which foretold of a vision of a "Bishop in White" whom the vision identifies as "our Holy Father" the Pope, followed by a number of other lesser priests and bishops, walking slowly through a city that is laying in "ruins" and littered with corpses of the dead.... after walking through this city, this bishop and his followers climb a mountain to a great Cross on the top, where a group of Soldiers are waiting, who then quickly gun down the Bishop and his followers... Now this goes even further... with the Bible of all sources! Daniel, Chapter 9, tells how after 62 "weeks", an "annointed one will be cut off" ... in other words, someone, annointed as Holy here on Earth, will be assassinated... The Church believes that these two prophesies were fulfilled with the attempted assasination of John Paul II. But they were not, because he lived! The prophesies were precise in that the "Bishop in White" and the "Annointed one" are clearly killed! The killed of this "annointed bishop" is what launches the world into its next global War; with the armies of the East marching west, conquering europe as they go, until the cross the Atlantic, an an efforted to take the America's as well... Only to be stopped by the brute force of a powerful western leader with a devastating military machine at his disposal... The same, which Daniel writes are the Ships of Kittim, that defends Israel from that same eastern aggressor... Thats where the Locusts come from. A powerful eastern military force ravaging the globe in a westward march... |
