The Rapture: What Happens After Part Three

Hello Beloved,

Taking up where we left off ... Revelation 8: I will paraphrase a lot of this
so please get out your Bible and follow along... I will be using the KJV.
Revelation 8:1
" And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
Why do you think there was silence in heaven? Is it because we ( the church ) will be so awed at what we see or will it be because of what the seventh seal is all about?
v3-4 " And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer and there was give unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne." 4. " And the smoke of the incense which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angels hand."
v. 5 " And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth: and there were voice, and thunderings, and lightnings and an earthquake."
v.6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
v.7 (paraphrase) The first angel sounded and hail and fire mingled with blood,
and they were cast upon the earth and 1/3 part of trees burnt up and all the grass and was burnt up.
v.8 The 2d angel sounded and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and 1/3 part of the sea became blood.
v.9 1/3 of the creatures died and 1/3 of the ships destroyed,
10. the 3d angel sounded and there fell a great star from heaven burring as it were a lamp, and it fell upon 1/3 part of the rivers and the fountains of water.
11. And the name of the star is Wormwood, and 1/3 of the water became wormwood , many died because the water became bitter.
12. And the fourth angel sounded, and 1/3 of the sun was smitten 1/3 part of the moon and stars darkened, and the day and night 1/3 likewise.
13. an angel flying through the midst of heaven , saying with a loud voice " Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels , which are yet to come!"
There is still more to come. What has happened so far sounds pretty terrible to me.
Are you ready to hear about the last three trumpets? Chapter 9: The first Woe:
Fifth angel sounded , a star falls from heaven to earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.. Who will this be? We know it is a person by the reference of "to him". He opened the bottomless pit and out of it arose smoke and the dun and air were darkened by reason of the smoke. And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth, and they had power , as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to hurt the grass or any green thing, just those who did not have the seal of God in their foreheads. Not to
kill but to torment five months. Man shall seek death in those day and not find it.
In the next post we will find out what they look like.... tenderly with arms around you.... your sister in Christ Jesus..... vickie
