The 6th Trumpet
Revelation 11
- 1 I (John) was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshippers there
- 2 But exclude the outer corner, do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the Holy City (Jerusalem) for 42 months
- 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1260 days, clothed in sack cloth.
The Gentiles are given 42 months to trample in Jerusalem while that happens God's two witnesses will prophesy for 42 months. All this will be in 3 and half years.
- 4 These are two olive trees and the two lampstands that stands before the Lord of the earth
Zechariah 4
- 2 He (the angel) asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps
- 3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of bowl and the other on the left
- 11 Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees othe right and the left lampstand?
- 12 Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil
- 13 He replied, " Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord?" I said.
- 14 So he said, "These are the two (men) who are anointed to serve the Lord of the earth.
TEV Bible- "Then he said, "These are two men whom God has chosen and anointed to serve him, the Lord of the whole earth.
Revelation 11
- 5 If anyone tries to harm them (the 2 witnesses), fire comes out of their mouth (a miracle) and devour their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die
- 6 These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain (2nd miracle) during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood (3rd miracle) and strike the earth with every kind of plagues as often as they want (their authority over the earth)
SATAN OUT OF THE ABYSS
- 7 Now when they have finished their testimony (when the 42 months of the Gentiles trampling Jerusalem and God's 2 witnesses prophesying for 1260 days are over), the beast that comes out of the abyss will attack them, and over power and kill them (the 2 witnesses)
Satan is referred to as the serpent of old Revelation 12:9 and 20:2
Rev 12:9 "The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan.
On Genesis 3:1 he is a beast
"Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast "ḥay·yaṯ
"חַיַּ֣ת beast of the field that the LORD God had made.
Revelation 11
- 8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
- 9 For three and half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them buried
- 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth
- 11 But after the three and half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
- 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud (like Christ Jesus), while their enemies looked.
- 13 At that very hour there was a serve earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
- 14 The second woe has passed, the third woe is coming soon.
This is why on Chapter 10:6 there is a delay: The angel said there won't be any more delay
This is because on the first woe which is on the 5th trumpet Satan is prisoned in the abyss then on the 6th trumpet Satan is out of the abyss. The delay is there for other prophecies to come true e.g 1 Timothy 4
After this the 7th trumpet will sound with the last woe on Rev 12 to 13
