God’s judgments
will impose great tribulation on the
whole world and – no one will
escape.
The first
trumpet-judgment will be a fiery
hailstorm of burning meteors that
will suddenly fall from Heaven.
Thousands of
notoriously wicked cities will be
burned up. A third of the land, a
third of the trees and all of the
green grass will be burned up!
(Revelation 8:2-7)
Millions of people
will be burned alive.
God will burn up the
notably wicked places on Earth –
in the same way and for reasons that
He burned up the ancient cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah!
Genesis 19:24
“Then the Lord rained down
burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah
– from the Lord out of the
heavens.
Genesis 19:25
Thus he overthrew those cities and
the entire plain, including all those
living in the cities – and also
the vegetation in the land.”
Peter wrote,
“…. He [God] condemned the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by
burning them to ashes, and he made
them an example of what is going to
happen to the ungodly.”
(2 Peter 2:6)
A couple weeks later,
the second trumpet-judgment will
fall.
There will be an
asteroid impact on an ocean.
It will suddenly
impact Earth at 75,000 mph.
A huge tsunami,
perhaps a mile high will radiate
outward 360 degrees. This wall of
water will destroy thousands of
coastal cities around that ocean.
Millions of people will drown.
(Just like the tsunami
that hit the island of Sumatra in
December 26, 2004.)
Consider this: God
will use fire and water to destroy
notably wicked places.
“…. On the
earth, nations will be in anguish and
perplexity at the roaring and tossing
of the sea.”
(Luke 21:25)
Hundreds of millions
of godless and wicked people will
suddenly be gone.
Once the survivors
behold how God targeted notably
wicked places, the Bible predicts
there will be a knee-jerk response.
I don’t have the
time to discuss man’s response
to God’s wrath right now, but I
will say that all of the religions of
the world will quickly unite in a
solemn effort to appease God’s
wrath so that He will stop the
destruction.
This union is called
Babylon in the book of Revelation.
And Babylon will
attempt to appease God’s wrath
by forcing everyone to worship God.
This explains how the
topic of worship will become a huge
controversy during the Great
Tribulation.
A third trumpet will
sound in Heaven – and a third
judgment will fall on Earth.
Revelation 8:10 says,
“a great star, blazing like a
torch” fell upon the Earth.
A wicked continent
will be partially destroyed by this
impact.
This asteroid impact
will release the energy of millions
of atomic bombs. The resulting shock
wave will destroy cities and homes
and even worse, it will compromise
the geologic strata for thousands of
miles.
Underground aquifers
will become contaminated with human
waste and toxic garbage that is
buried underground.
Wells and springs will
flow with poisoned water and millions
of thirsty people will drink the
poisonous water and die.
The fourth trumpet
judgment will be a period of dense
darkness.
The Pacific “ring
of fire” could easily carry the
soot and debris from volcano
eruptions around the world and this
could darken the Sun, moon and stars
for 90% of the world’s
populations.
Without sunshine,
crops will wither and die. Global
winter and famine will follow.
Survival will become
questionable for everyone.
At this point in time,
everyone will be terrified of God and
facing great tribulation.
Everyone will be
searching for a way to appease
God’s wrath so that His
judgments will end.
There’s so much
more to this story, but I don’t
have time to tell it. (Be sure to
visit our website.)
However, there is one
more thing about the Great
Tribulation that you must consider.
About two and a half
years after the Great Tribulation
begins, God will release the devil
from the spirit realm where he is
presently confined.
Lucifer and his angels
will be permitted to exit the spirit
realm and physically appear before
the people of Earth.
According to
Revelation 9:3, Lucifer and his
angels will come down out of the sky
– imitating the Second Coming!
