101	And there came out of the smoke locusts' Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet [on the 890th day], and I saw a star [Lucifer the devil] that had fallen from the sky [into] the earth [the Abyss in 30 A.D.]. The star was given the key [Jesus released the demons] to the shaft of the Abyss. 2. When he opened the Abyss [prison for demons], smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky [counterfeit second advent of Jesus] were darkened by the smoke [millions of fallen angels] from the Abyss. 3. And out of the smoke [analogy for destruction], came down upon earth and were given power like that of scorpions [to paralyze with pain] of the earth. 4. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree [2/3 remaining vegetation is safe], but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads [unsaved non-religious wicked]. 5.   They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them [like the two thieves on the cross] for five months [length of 5th trumpet].   And the agony they suffered was like that of a sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6.   During those days men will seek death [terror & pain is terrible], but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them [Jesus saves].

103	'they should be tormented five months with unbelievable pain Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet [on the 890th day], and I saw a star [Lucifer the devil] that had fallen from the sky [into] the earth [the Abyss in 30 A.D.]. The star was given the key [Jesus released the demons] to the shaft of the Abyss. 2. When he opened the Abyss [prison for demons], smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.

104	'... men seek death...' Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet [on the 890th day], and I saw a star [Lucifer the devil] that had fallen from the sky [into] the earth [the Abyss in 30 A.D.].

105	'... death shall flee from them...' Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet [on the 890th day], and I saw a star [Lucifer the devil] that had fallen from the sky [into] the earth [the Abyss in 30 A.D.]. The star was given the key [Jesus released the demons] to the shaft of the Abyss. 2. When he opened the Abyss [prison for demons], smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.

106	Satan says, worship me or die Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet [on the 890th day], and I saw a star [Lucifer the devil] that had fallen from the sky [into] the earth [the Abyss in 30 A.D.]. The star was given the key [Jesus released the demons] to the shaft of the Abyss. 2. When he opened the Abyss [prison for demons], smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky [counterfeit second advent of Jesus] were darkened by the smoke [millions of fallen angels] from the Abyss. 3. And out of the smoke [analogy for destruction], came down upon earth and were given power like that of scorpions [to paralyze with pain] of the earth. 4. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree [2/3 remaining vegetation is safe], but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads [unsaved non-religious wicked]. 5.   They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them [like the two thieves on the cross] for five months [length of 5th trumpet].   And the agony they suffered was like that of a sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6.   During those days men will seek death [terror & pain is terrible], but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them [Jesus saves].
107	Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life! There are about two billion non-religious people in the world that do not believe in a personal living God or in the existence of the fallen angel Lucifer the devil. During the five months of the fifth trumpet Jesus gives the non-religious wicked a revelation. First they find out by pain and terror that there is a real devil – second, Jesus stops Satan from immediately killing them and also saves them from suicide during the time of the fifth trumpet to save them eternally.  This revelation gives the non-religious wicked the opportunity to make an intelligent decision to either serve God or the devil. Pilot and the Roman soldiers are examples of the non-religious wicked.
108	The Literal View of the Fifth Trumpet The imagery of the fifth trumpet describes the awesome counterfeit Second Coming of Jesus by the devil and his angels attempting to deceive, force, coerce every person on the earth to worship the devil, while thinking they are serving God. Jesus uses words we understand to explain the supernatural beings we cannot possibly understand. The ‘things’ described do not exist. The words Jesus uses to describe the counterfeit Second Coming of Jesus are not intended to be taken literally, because there are no insects, animals, or beings on this earth or anywhere else that look like these ‘things.’ The words to describe the demons as smoke, locusts, horses, woman’s hair, human faces, lion’s teeth with wings do not describe the appearance of the innumerable fallen angels, they describe their purpose, power and behavior. Jesus uses the analogy of smoke and the locust filling the sky and blocking out the sun to describe their appearance as innumerable, but just a smoke and locusts are full of darkness and destruction so these beautiful angels are full of lies, deceit, and death.
109	Satan's Demons Tortures the Unsealed Non-religious Wicked Their purpose is to torture everyone into submission that refuse to worship the devil as he demands. Satan will deceive, lie, and torture the non-righteous wicked that have not sub mitted to his authority. So Jesus sends the devil to unmask him for those that love the truth, but are deceived. And to condemn those that love lies and take pleasure in unrighteousness. The devil and his demons are not allowed to kill the non-religious wicked for the next five months, but they are allowed to cause them great pain.
110	Satan's demons say to the non-religious wicked, worship us or die! Their purpose is to torture everyone into submission that refuse to worship the devil as he demands. Satan will deceive, lie, and torture the non-righteous wicked that have not sub mitted to his authority. So Jesus sends the devil to unmask him for those that love the truth, but are deceived. And to condemn those that love lies and take pleasure in unrighteousness. The devil and his demons are not allowed to kill the non-religious wicked for the next five months, but they are allowed to cause them great pain.
111	Jesus Reveals Himself as the Savior from Death Jesus puts a supernatural hold on death to His ignorant and deceived children the opportunity to repent of their sins and be saved; thus Satan is revealed as a torturer and Jesus is revealed as the Saviour.
112	The fallen angels look like Locust Horses that say to the wicked, worship us or die! 1.  The fallen angels fill the sky like smoke blocking out the sun masquerading as angels of light {Revelation 9:2}. 2.  They are innumerable as a swarm of locusts, bent on destruction {Revelation 9:3}. 3.  The angels inflict pain like scorpions to force worship of the devil {Revelation 9:5 & 10}. 4.  The demons are not allowed to kill the non-religious wicked; thus Jesus is revealed as the Savior from death {Revelation 9:5}. 5.  They are fearful sounding like horses prepared for battle {Revelation 9:7}. 6.  They look like a glorious royal family decked out with gems of gold descending to the earth {Revelation 9:7}. 7.  They resemble humans; thus they use human reasoning to coerce {Revelation 9:7}. 8.  They are beautiful and seductive as a woman {Revelation 9:8}. 9.  Their grip on their prey is like lion’s teeth; thus it is impossible to be set free by human effort {Revelation 9:8}. 10. They are indestructible as breastplates of iron {Revelation 9:9}. 11. Wings sound like the voice of God rushing into battle {Revelation 9:9, Ezekiel 1:24}.
113	The Locust Horse 1.  The fallen angels fill the sky like smoke blocking out the sun masquerading as angels of light {Revelation 9:2}. 2.  They are innumerable as a swarm of locusts, bent on destruction {Revelation 9:3}. 3.  The angels inflict pain like scorpions to force worship of the devil {Revelation 9:5 & 10}. 4.  The demons are not allowed to kill the non-religious wicked; thus Jesus is revealed as the Savior from death {Revelation 9:5}. 5.  They are fearful sounding like horses prepared for battle {Revelation 9:7}. 6.  They look like a glorious royal family decked out with gems of gold descending to the earth {Revelation 9:7}. 7.  They resemble humans; thus they use human reasoning to coerce {Revelation 9:7}. 8.  They are beautiful and seductive as a woman {Revelation 9:8}. 9.  Their grip on their prey is like lion’s teeth; thus it is impossible to be set free by human effort {Revelation 9:8}. 10. They are indestructible as breastplates of iron {Revelation 9:9}. 11. Wings sound like the voice of God rushing into battle {Revelation 9:9, Ezekiel 1:24}.
114	Satan Masquerades as the Saviour of the World In the scene Satan, the lamb-like beast, comes out of the earth {the abyss} on the 890th day of the Great Tribulation, presenting himself as Savior of the world. After Satan’s physical appearance on the 890th day there are 370 left to repent and be saved before the door of mercy is forever shut by Jesus Christ on the 1,260th day of the Great Tribulation.
115	Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves Satan, masquerading as Jesus in sheep’s clothing, is in reality, a ferocious dragon. Satan would destroy every human being on earth if he could, but Jesus limits Satan power during the fifth trumpet.  Satan and his demons have planned out their strategy years in advance to destroy God’s saints but know that their time is very short because they know the entire length of the Great Tribulation is 1,335 complete days. Satan is finally allowed to show up on the world scene only after the 890th day. God’s saints are not taken by surprise by Satan’s appearance because they have stayed up, stored up, and prayed up and their faith cannot be moved, regardless of the circumstances and would rather die than sin against God.
116	Lucifer the devil and the lamb-like beast are the same entity The devil is called by a variety of names in the Bible. Daniel calls him a stern-faced king. (Daniel 8:23) Ezekiel calls him the ruler of Tyre. (Ezekiel 28:2) Isaiah calls him the king of Babylon. (Isaiah 14:4) Paul calls him the man of lawlessness. (2 Thessalonians 2:3) John calls him an enormous red dragon (Revelation 12:3), the beast that comes up from the Abyss (Revelation 11:7), a beast having two horns (Revelation 13:11), the false prophet (Revelation 16:13), and the angel king of the Abyss (Revelation 9:11).  God gave Lucifer various names for several reasons. Here are two: First, the devil is invisible and different titles help us understand his vast capabilities. Second, God gives the devil various titles to undercut the devil’s deceptions! For example, when the devil physically appears on Earth, he will gloriously, masquerade as Almighty God. His deception will be so convincing that it could deceive the “very elect” if that were possible. (Mark 13:22) notice how the title, “the man of lawlessness,” describes the behavior of Lucifer after he appears. Lucifer will do as he pleases and no one can stop him. The laws of mankind mean nothing to him. The devil will create and enforce many laws that will have no purpose but angst and destruction.   God gave Bible writers all of Lucifer’s titles and each one speaks volumes about Lucifer’s character, power, and ways.
117	He [Satan disguised] exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed Satan, masquerading as Jesus, orders everyone to worship the leopard-like beast whose deadly wound was healed; therefore he says ‘you’re all doing fine continue worshiping as you were.’ Satan uses the five months of the fifth trumpet to gain popularity by setting himself up as king of kings and lord of lords, establishing his theocracy. Satan knows he is unable to kill anyone during the fifth trumpet, but during the latter part of the fifth trumpet, after he has gained global popularity and power, he orders the world to set up an image to the leopard-like beast. {Do not misunderstand me at this point…. saints have been death here and there from the beginning of the tribulation by the leopard-like beast}. After the time of the fifth trumpet expires the killing by Satan during the sixth trumpet is a global slaughter of billions. When Satan first appeared and said ‘continue to worship as you were,’ but now that was yesterday’s news. Today the leaders are ordered to consolidate all the religions of the world into a One World Religion called the image of the beast.
118	The seven religious systems of the world are told by Satan to worship the beast whose deadly wound was healed The seven heads are religious in nature, because each head has a “blasphemous” name written on it. The presence of a blasphemous name means that each head is defiantly opposed to God’s will (which is blasphemy). Of course, the seven heads are currently unaware of their blasphemy because each religious system believes that it is in perfect conformity with God’s will and truth. During the Great Tribulation, the Two Witnesses will empower the 144,000 to speak for God, and once the gospel of Jesus is presented, man’s ignorance, arrogance, and blasphemy will be revealed. As we investigate the identity of the seven heads, it is important to keep in mind there are seven of the same thing. So, who are the seven heads? Take a good look at each: 1.  Heathenism is a religious system that operates in the darkness. It does not worship the true God of Heaven. It does not know or have the Word of God. This religious system is huge and diverse, and it is often cruel and hopeless. Nevertheless, man’s ignorance does not lessen God’s love for human beings living in darkness. Because mankind is inherently rebellious and religious, this religious system creates gods to address its fears, fantasies, and superstitions. The birth and ministry of Jesus proves this religious system is false. 2.  Atheism is a religious system that denies the existence of God. This belief system was proven false the day Jesus was born. 3.  Judaism is a religious system that denies that Jesus is God. Judaism believes that salvation comes through obedience. Jesus proved this religious system was false when He said, “I tell you the truth, he who believes [in me] has everlasting life.” (John 6:47, insertion mine) 4.  Eastern Mysticism is a religious system that worships many false gods. Eastern Mysticism believes that self can save self by overcoming cycles of life and death. Jesus proved this religious system false in the same way He rebuked the Jews for putting traditions above the Word of God saying, “Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” (Mark 7:13) 5.  Islam is a religious system that rejects the divinity of Jesus. Islam does not accept the premise that mankind needs a sinless Savior. Jesus proved this religious system false when He said, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whosoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” (John 3:16-18) 6.  Catholicism is the only religious system on Earth that can meet the wounded/healed head specification is the Roman Catholic Church. Daniel 7 indicates that the little horn power (the papacy) would be terminated at the end of 1,260 years (1798). Daniel 7:11 reveals that little horn would once again speak boastfully against the Most High God after “the court was seated and the books were opened.” In Daniel 8, we learned that the court was seated and the books were opened in 1844. Following the logic of these three texts, we can understand that the wounded/healed head will speak boastfully against God during the Great Tribulation because the deadly wound will be healed early in the Great Tribulation. 7.  Protestantism is the seventh and final head. Bible prophecy allows us to trace the history of Christianity and Protestantism. After giving Jews, Catholics, and Protestants an opportunity to represent His interests on Earth, God has proven that all religious systems have become blasphemous over time because the carnal nature within man is the same throughout the world. This also explains why the 144,000 will not come from a single religious body. Jesus will select them from all religious systems because the gospel commission will be completed by honest-hearted individuals instead of one arrogant religious system.
119	And he [Satan] performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men Satan appears on the 890th day exalting himself as the Prince of the host {Daniel 8:9-11} to destroy the world spiritually. Satan {{Daniel 11:36-39} is the last king of the north, the one that exalts himself above every god and confiscates all the gold and silver of the world, destroying the world financially. Satan, the angel of the Abyss, counterfeits the Second Coming of Jesus, torturing the unsealed into submission to complete his kingdom. Satan, the lamb-like beast, presents himself as the Savior of the world for the purpose of destroying the world spiritually by setting up his church, the image of the beast. Satan starts off small by ordering everyone to continue worshiping the leopard-like beast whose deadly wound was healed. Then he grows in power globally by the signs and miracles he has power to do even causing fire to come from heaven. After he has established himself as God on earth he demands all the ancient religions {the starry hosts} be discarded casting them to the ground and stomping on them. He needs no other authority, he is God on earth. He demands arrogantly that a one world religion be setup in honor of the beast whose wound was healed. The image of the beast is a reflection of his own hideous character of lies and murder. The religious wicked worshiping at the feet of the devil is the image of the beast. They reflect Satan’s character by carrying out his orders of lies and murder.
120	The Ten-day Week During the five months of the fifth trumpet, Satan, masquerading as God on earth, establishes a theocracy declaring himself as king of kings and lord of lords. He arrogantly orders the religious leaders of the world to consolidate their ancient religions into a one world religion called the image of the beast; thus forcing them to discard their ancient religions. Everything that points to the worship of God of heaven is opposed by Satan including the weekly cycle of seven days. Each month with three, ten- day weeks have exactly thirty days and each week begins on the first day of the month; therefore the saints will be in constant conflict with Satan’s new One World Religion – the image of the beast. Satan orders the setting up of the image of the beast – everything that focuses on the worship of God is discarded and cast to the ground. Jesus allows Satan to oppose everything that is good and holy casting the truth to the ground for the purpose of unmasking him by creating the greatest possible conflict between truth and the lies of the devil.
121	Satan Rules the World During the five months of the fifth trumpet Satan has masqueraded as Jesus; he has created a theocracy with Satan as king of kings and lord of lords. Satan and his demons control the cities of Babylon all over the world. This is not an analogy; this is reality. The religious leaders and their followers are worshipping Satan as God on Earth. Jesus has sent the wicked their god so they can hear his lies, and so they can observe his deceptive and hideous deeds to unmask him.  The religious leaders love Satan’s lies and murderous deeds, and they are condemned by Jesus in the judgment. But those that love the truth see through Satan’s mask and they flee for their lives. Jesus uses the physical appearance of Satan to save those that are ignorant and deceived.
122	The devil is ruling Babylon and the religious leaders are teaching doctrines of evil The second part of the fourth angel’s message is to tell the saints that are still living in cities to get out! The religious leaders with civil power are forcing the people on a global scale to observe the religious commandments of men just like the Papacy during the Dark Ages. If you are living in a large city, similar to New York City, San Antonio, or Los Angelis, it will be impossible to keep the commandments of God without being arrested and executed. At the end of the fifth trumpet Satan orders the death of all who refuse to worship as ordered. So the call is: Come out of her my people! After this point of time there are only a few months left until the seven plagues begin. On the 1,325th day Jesus burns down the wicked cities of Babylon all over the world by pouring out the seventh plague of burning sulfur bombs weighing fifty to one hundred pounds.  The hail of burning sulfur is far worse than the burning hail of the first trumpet…. so get out!
123	The mark of the Beast During the crisis of the first four trumpets Jesus warned everyone that He had begun shutting down this world of sin and death, but after three years people have settled in and are ignoring the messages of the 144,000.  The appearance of Satan as God on Earth ordering everyone to be marked to show their loyalty to his new kingdom is God’s last ditch effort to unmask Lucifer as the devil. Anyone that refuses to show his loyalty to the image of the beast by being tattooed with the number ‘666’ will be killed as a traitor if it is at all possible. Satan’s leaders proudly wear the name of their god in their forehead. Satan’s name is Abaddon or Apollyon which means destroyer {Revelation 9:11, 13:17}. Satan uses the mark to distinguish his loyal subjects from the disloyal. The slaughter of the disloyal begins on the 1,040th day. The three scenes all occur at the same time. There are two different groups of people killed for refusing to worship Satan – the non-religious wicked and the saints are caught in the middle of this war.
124	Literal mark on the right hand of 666 During the crisis of the first four trumpets Jesus warned everyone that He had begun shutting down this world of sin and death, but after three years people have settled in and are ignoring the messages of the 144,000.  The appearance of Satan as God on Earth ordering everyone to be marked to show their loyalty to his new kingdom is God’s last ditch effort to unmask Lucifer as the devil.

125	Must have the mark to buy and sell During the crisis of the first four trumpets Jesus warned everyone that He had begun shutting down this world of sin and death, but after three years people have settled in and are ignoring the messages of the 144,000.  The appearance of Satan as God on Earth ordering everyone to be marked to show their loyalty to his new kingdom is God’s last ditch effort to unmask Lucifer as the devil.
