Revelation chapter 8
Seventh seal (His sincerity/truth in us silence all the works of ignorance/foolishness):
Rev. 8:1-2 "When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before Elohim, and seven trumpets were given to them."
1 Peter 2:15 "For such is the will of Elohim that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men." He brings us to silence all the works of our foolishness (ignorance) to rest as we learn more of His Law of Life that has overcome all the works of lawlessness. The 7th chapter of Revelation explains of our spiritual bodies sanctified (unhurt) from our fleshly bodies (kingdoms of lawlessness) that must be afflicted/perished to the ends of our fleshly ages.
The smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints:
Rev. 8:3-5 "Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before Elohim out of the angel's hand. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake."
The prayers/requests (incense) of the saints/His people are to seek the words of wisdom in consummation of their sanctified hearts (altars) where the smoke of their incense went up/brought His attention in order to give His answers to them.
The censor thrown to the earth, peals of thunder, sounds, flashes of lightning, earthquake:
Rev. 8:3-5 "Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before Elohim out of the angel's hand. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake."
His censor (incense burner) thrown to the earth (His people) is His answer to their prayers, like what is asked shall be given, what is sought shall be found, what is knocked shall be opened. Matt. 7:7-8 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
The peals of thunder is announced in His sounds in answering the prayers of the saints, where His flashes of lightning (Word of Light) is instructed to them to understand what He says to them. The earthquake (fleshly powers) is shaken off (troubled) when coming to know the spiritual powers from the above. Luke 1:8-12 "Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before Elohim in the appointed order of his division, according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of YHWH and burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering. And an angel of YHWH appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. Zacharyahu was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him."
Seven trumpets:
First trumpet (Our spiritual battle against the spirits of lawlessness):
Rev. 8:7 "The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up."
Luke 12:49-50 "I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!"; Matt. 23:32-36 "Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell? Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation."; Eph. 6:12-13 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of Elohim, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
His works of wrath are hail (plagues/sickness), consuming fire (judgment), and blood (guiltiness) on those who do the deeds of lawlessness in this world (today's generation) of mortality. These three things burnt up (consumed) are the earth (unrepentant heart on words of darkness), trees (kingdoms of evilness), and green grass (works of lawlessness). Luke 10:18 "And He said to them, I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning."; Rev. 12:4 "And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child." What the three things of Satan's tail (kingdom of lawlessness) fall down upon our repentance are to war against us because we keep His Law of Life by this world of lawlessness (unrepentant hearts of those who serve Satan), the trees of knowledge of evilness, and green grass (works of lawlessness).
As we receive His spirit of Life into our sanctified heart/temple, we are separated from the world of lawlessness while in the trials of our spiritual bodies (kingdoms) fighting with His might against the powers of lawlessness, keeping His Law of Life. His completion of His 7 trumpets restores us back to His Kingdom of Life from the fleshly heart of demonic possessions in the fleshly body of sin (kingdom of death/lawlessness).
Three things of Satan's kingdom (tail) fallen down and three things on the earth perished:
Rev. 8:7-12 "The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way."; 9:15 "And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind."; 18 "A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths."; 12:4 "And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child."
The three things in the sky YHWH hates are the sun (dominion of Satan/angel of light), moon (kingdom of darkness), and stars (spirits of lawlessness/astrological signs) in which all fleshly minded worship in man-made/solar calendars, festivals, new moons, honor days more than His appointed days. Deut. 4:19-20 "And beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which YHWH your Eloheyak has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. But YHWH has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people for His own possession, as today."; Isa. 1:14 "I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them."; 3:9-13 "Behold, the day of YHWH is coming, cruel, with fury and burning anger, to make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity; I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud and abase the haughtiness of the ruthless. I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold and mankind than the gold of Ophir." Upon the repentance, the mortal images of sun, moon, stars (signs) are removed/darkened when His Kingdom of Light strikes them down and restores His dominion in the sky. The fleshly minded observe many man-made calendars, festivals, rest days other than His appointed days for us to follow. All the three things on the earth that worship Satan in the things of mortality are the works of idolatry that must be destroyed.
Hail, fire, mixed with blood are His works of wrath thrown to the earth:
Rev. 8:7-12 "The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.”
His works of wrath are hail (plagues/sickness), consuming fire (judgment), and blood (guiltiness) on those who do the deeds of lawlessness in this world (today's generation) of mortality. These three things burnt up (consumed) are the earth (unrepentant heart on words of lawlessness), trees (kingdoms of evilness), and green grass (works of lawlessness). John 3:19-21 “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in Elohim.”
Hailstones (plagues) are His works of wrath on the unrepentant hearts. Ex. 9:17-18 “Still you exalt yourself against My people by not letting them go. Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.” The hard hearted king of Egypt was exalt in his fleshly powers, refusing to let His people (Yisrael) go free. His work of wrath (hailstone) is to take away the work of fleshly exaltation by bringing down to the work of shamefulness.
Fire (His judgment) is now on this world of mortality. John 12: 30-32 “Yahushua answered and said, This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”; 49 “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!”
The mixed blood (guiltiness) is upon the deeds of lawlessness (impurity/uncleanness) performed in the unrepentant hearts. We, His people, do the deeds of goodness for His Kingdom of purity (His blood of sanctification) in our hearts. 1 Cor. 11:26-32 “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim haAdon's death until He comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of our Master in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of our Master. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by YHWH so that we will not be condemned along with the world.”
What are burned up (perished) and what are not burnt up (preserved)?:
Rev. 8:7-12 "The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way."; 9:15 "And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind."; 18 "A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths."; 12:4 "And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child."
What (our deeds of lawlessness) are burned up are resulted in our repentance and daily renewal by increasing our spiritual knowledge in Messiah that is separated from the works of opposition. What (our deeds of goodness) are not burnt up are stored in our spiritual hearts (treasures) that will be gathered to His Kingdom of Life at the ends of our fleshly ages. Luke 3:16-17 “Yahuchanan answered and said to them all, As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with Ruach haKodesh and fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”; 24:32 “They said to one another, Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”; John 15:6-7 “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”; 1 Cor. 3:13-16 “each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Do you not know that you are a temple of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you?” Everyone coming into the world of lawlessness must be examined of his deeds, in which his deeds of lawlessness are burnt up and his deeds of righteousness are preserved. John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”; Rom. 2:9-10 “There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
A great mountain (your fleshly foundation/kingdom) thrown into the sea/lake of fire:
Rev. 8:8-9 "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."; Matt. 21:21-22 "And Yahushua answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."; 1 Peter 1:6-7 "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Yahushua haMashiyach."
A great mountain (the foundation/knowledge of mortality built) has dominated all the fleshly minded from the beginning of their fleshly births. Your repentance is sufficient to turn your mountain (old self) of fleshly dominion thrown into the lake of fire, for His Rock of Life strikes the kingdom of lawlessness (Babylonian image of fleshly powers). Dan. 2:32-35 “The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” The great mountain/kingdom of lawlessness is consumed with His fire (judgment) and thrown into the lake of fire (sea) upon the repentance then His great mountain/Kingdom of perfection comes upon the heart of His sanctification (earth) and cannot be moved for ever.
His stone strikes the kingdom of lawlessness out of heart and His great mountain is filled:
Rev. 8:8-9 "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."; Matt. 21:21-22 "And Yahushua answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."; 1 Peter 1:6-7 "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Yahushua haMashiyach."
Dan. 2:32-35 “The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”
Your point of repentance is in believing His Word of Light that shines out all the works of darkness. His Word of Light (stone) strikes the great mountain/kingdom of darkness (body of sin) that dominates the fleshly minds in this world of lawlessness. Once your heart is sanctified (sowed with His Seed of Light), His Kingdom of Light (great mountain) is filled in your spiritual life and will be brought back to Him when coming to the end of your fleshly age.
His stone strikes the feet of iron and clay (divided kingdom - Jews and Gentiles):
Rev. 8:8-9 "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."; Matt. 21:21-22 "And Yahushua answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."; 1 Peter 1:6-7 "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Yahushua haMashiyach."
Dan. 2:32-35 “The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”
We were once the divided kingdom of lawlessness dominated by Satan from our fleshly births, but upon our repentance/restoration, His Word of Light strikes our old self (kingdom of darkness) so we become His two witnesses of Light (house of Yahudah/Jews and house of Ephrayim/Gentiles) shining His Word of Light to all that may see our good works. The divided kingdom consists two feet of iron and clay was scattered from the kingdom of Shelomoh (Solomon) because of the disobedience to His Law of Life, for the foot of iron is the stumbling block of hardness/ stubbornness (fleshly Jews) and the foot of clay is the stumbling block of lawlessness/foolishness (fleshly gentiles).
Second trumpet (Our knowledge and labor of evilness thrown into the sea/lake of fire):
Rev. 8:8-9 "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."
Matt. 21:21-22 "And Yahushua answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."; 1 Peter 1:6-7 "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Yahushua haMashiyach."
A great mountain (the foundation/knowledge of mortality built) examined by His judgment (consuming fire) is thrown to the sea (lake of fire) which is perishable once you come to know His foundation of immortality upon your repentance. The sea (lake of fire) is the collection of all works of abomination consumed and thrown out of the repentant hearts. The three things seen in every mortal heart are the words of guiltiness (blood), the spirits of uncleanness (creatures/works), and the fleshly powers/wealth (ships).
As we are tested in obeying His Law of Life in the process to complete His work (7 days), more fleshly powers are fallen out while growing in our spiritual life. Rev. 3:10 "Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."
Third of sea (guiltiness), third of creature (uncleanness), third of ships (wealth) perishable:
Rev. 8:8-9 "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed."
The three things (third of sea, third of creature, third of ships) are seen in every mortal heart as they are the words of uncleanness (blood), the spirits of lawlessness (creatures/works), and the fleshly powers/wealth (ships). The word of lawlessness/uncleanness is spoken out of the mouth of mortal minded, then it is performed (spirit of lawlessness) according to what is spoken, and it builds the fleshly kingdom (powers) promoting the fleshly minded.
Third trumpet (Our fleshly works consumed/wormed while growth in Messiah):
Rev. 8:10-11 "The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter."; Luke 10:18 "And He said to them, I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning."
As we increase our faithfulness in His powers by prevailing our spiritual strengths in His Kingdom of Life, He purges more works of fleshly destruction as He sees the hearts of mortal men that have the fleshly possessions dominated by Satan. Satan, the wormwood, is the father of worthlessness, for many spirits of lawlessness (third of the waters) fall away (die) while growing our spiritual life in Messiah. All the works of lawlessness are consumed/wormed by His Word of Life. Rev. 12:4 "And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth..."; 2 Cor. 4:16 " Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." What measured of Satan's tail (kingdom of lawlessness) of his three things of opposition are thrown to the earth (bottomless pit/abyss) upon our repentance are against His Kingdom of Life in us. We, the spiritual minded, drink His living water daily as His Spirit of Life teaches us to do His Law of Life.
A great star (His Word of Life) fell/came from heaven:
Rev. 8:10-11"The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter."
His star of Light comes to those who seek the salvation, with the understanding of our deeds of death purged out of our repentant hearts. He comes to all of us that need His sanctification from the kingdom of filthiness (bitterness) upon our repentance. Matt. 2:2 "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."; 10 "When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy."
We, the spiritual births, rejoice with His Word of Light coming into our sanctified temples/hearts where His Spirit of Life (Living water) dwells in. It is better to throw all our works/spirits (waters) of worthlessness into the lake of fire then to serve Him in His holiness. We are buried with Him in baptism to His death once His stone of Light strikes the kingdom of lawlessness so we become the servants of His resurrected body in the shortened days till the ends of our fleshly ages.
The third of the waters wormed is acknowledged that those who once tasted the works of wormwood (bitterness) come to their repentance for His Kingdom of sweetness when the works of lawlessness (bitterness) are removed as to bury their old self to His death. The rest (unrepentant ones) do the deeds of bitterness (wormwood) till they are awakened by His sword (Word of Light).
The star called Wormwood:
Rev. 8:10-11"The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter."; Acts 12:23-24 "And immediately an angel of YHWH struck him because he did not give Elohim the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died. But the word of Elohim continued to grow and to be multiplied."; 1 Cor. 3:11-16 "For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Yahushua haMashiyach. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Do you not know that you are a temple of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you?"
His star of Bethlehem (the Lamb) has come to take away the world of sin as it is nailed to His crucifixion upon our repentance. Our deeds of death (worms of lawlessness) must die with Him so we become His living servants (members) of His resurrected body. All fleshly minded build their houses/foundations of lawlessness by their hands thru the things of mortality (wood, stones, etc) that shall not survive. Matt. 23:25-28 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." We, the spiritual minded, build our spiritual houses on His Rock of Light without our hands made.
With the understanding of Daniel 2:29-45, our body of sin is built upon the Babylonian (mortal) kingdoms from our mortal minds (words of lawlessness) to our ends of lawless kingdoms, when we turn to His Kingdom of purity upon repentance, where all our deeds of lawlessness must be grounded like Moshe took the molten calf to ground to powder and scatter it over the surface of water (Ex 32:4-20). His star of wormwood first consumes our body/kingdom of sin as to bury our old self to Messiah then we may be new members of His resurrected body (Kingdom of Life) while we remain for the shortened days till the ends of fleshly ages.
The wormwood is mentioned much in the Hebrew Scriptures. Deut. 29:16-19 "(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed; moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which they had with them); so that there will not be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from YHWH our Eloheynu, to go and serve the Elohey of those nations; that there will not be among you a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood. It shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will boast, saying, I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order to destroy the watered land with the dry."; Prov. 5:3-6 "For the lips of an adulteress drip honey And smoother than oil is her speech; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol. She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it."; Jer. 9:15-16 "therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, the Elohey of Yisrael, behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink. I will scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them until I have annihilated them." We were the children of wormwood (bitterness) doing the works of opposition (fruits of bitterness) against Him, but upon our repentance, our deeds of wormwood (lawlessness) are removed from our hearts so we can serve Him in holiness (fruits of sweetness). Eph. 4:30-32 "Do not grieve Ruach haKodesh of Elohim, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as Elohim in haMashiyach also has forgiven you."
Fourth trumpet (Three things of darkness thrown to earth upon our repentance):
Rev. 8:12-13 "The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"
John 12:46 "I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness."
We are the children of His Light (spiritual bodies), while our fleshly bodies of darkness are put under His feet (abyss) as His Light dominates over the darkness. John 1:4-5 "In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
As Satan's tail (dominion) sweep away the three parts from the sky, they are the darkened sun (kingdom of darkness), the bloodied moon (body of uncleanness) and the fallen stars (spirits of lawlessness) upon the repentance out of Satan's kingdom to His Kingdom of Light. The day of mortality becomes the night when coming to His day of immortality by awakening out of the kingdom of mortality. Yahushua the Messiah is the head of His people chosen out of the world of lawlessness upon their repentance and Satan is the tail of his evil followers as His enemies are under His feet forever.
His star of bitterness (wormwood) comes and all others fall:
Rev. 8:10-13"The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!" His Word of Light comes to the world where all shall see His Light shining out all the works of darkness upon their repentance, where all the works of bitterness and death must be removed. Before the woes come, the kingdom of Satan must be put under His feet upon our repentance, for the kingdom of darkness is moved out of us in giving His Kingdom of Light to come into our hearts (temples of His holiness). The three woes sounded is prepared for the shortened days from the beginning of the spiritual births, the trials of our affliction against the works of lawlessness even to the ends of our fleshly ages. His stone of bitterness has stricken the kingdom of lawlessness (Daniel 2:32-35) as all parts of idolatry are scattered upon the earth. His Word of Light comes to the heart of repentance as all parts of bitterness and darkness (body of sin) fall down to the earth (under His feet) so we can dominate with Him (members of His resurrected body) over the powers of lawlessness during the shortened days till the ends of our fleshly ages. Rev. 10:9-11 "So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey. I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. And they said to me, You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings." It is understood that everyone must take what is bitter when coming to know His kingdom of sweetness like the repentance (reverence) from the kingdom of bitterness to His Kingdom of sweetness.
An eagle flying in the middle of heaven:
Rev. 8:13 "Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"; Matt. 18:7 "Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!"
Firstly, His star of wormwood (bitterness) comes to the world of stumbling blocks (verse 11), where all the works of lawlessness (bitterness) fall down (verse 12), then the announcement in the Kingdom of heaven is made to all who dwell in this world of stumbling blocks seeing all the woes because His judgment is here against all the works of lawlessness. The eagle flying is one of His living creations as the expression/face of success/understanding, warrior, giver of the commandments. The fleshly minded does the deeds of lawlessness and the spiritual minded does the deeds of what is given him His commandments to obey during the shortened days of woes till the end of fleshly age. Ex. 19:4-6 "You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles wings, and brought you to Myself. Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Yisrael." If we obey His commandments of Life when we come to our spiritual births, He (Our eagle) delivers us from the hands of lawlessness into His wilderness (our spiritual trials) like He did to the children of Yisrael out of land of Egypt to His wilderness to learn more of His Law of Life. Rev. 12:14 "But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent."
Three woes:
Rev. 8:13 "Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"; Rev. 9:12 "The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things."; Rev. 11:14 "The second woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly."; Matt. 18:7 "Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!" Firstly, we are awakened out of the kingdom of woes (world of stumbling blocks/lawlessness) by His Word of Light, when Satan the dominator of stumbling blocks falls down to the earth (under our feet). Secondly, we come to the trials (wilderness) of our obedience to His commandments of Life while being tested by the spirits of lawlessness like Yahushua the Messiah had been tested by Satan for 40 days in the wilderness. Thirdly, we overcome the world of lawlessness (stumbling blocks) at the ends of our fleshly ages as Yahushua has overcome it.
1st woe (Rev. 9:1-11 - 5th trumpet): The beginning of 70th week (1st 3 1/2 days):
Satan falls down from his dominion (air of power [Eph. 2:2-3]) of lawlessness to the bottomless pit (under our feet), for His repentant/sealed ones (spiritual bodies) are sanctified by the blood of Lamb in which they (grass of earth/tree) cannot be hurt by the spirits/deeds of lawlessness during the shortened days (5 months) till the ends of fleshly ages.
2nd woe (Rev. 9:13-11:14 - 6th trumpet): The middle of 70th week (2nd 3 1/2 days):
The release of Satan from the bottomless pit (under our feet) is to afflict our fleshly bodies till the ends of the fleshly ages.
3rd woe (Rev. 11:15-13:18 - 7th trumpet): The end of 70th week:
The ends of our fleshly ages is to put away our fleshly bodies to the second death (resurrection of judgment) when our spiritual bodies (kingdoms) are handed to our heavenly Father and His Messiah (11:15). The 14th chapter of Revelation mentions of the redemption of His sealed servants (spiritual bodies) from the earth of mortality that are not defiled with the spirits (women) of uncleanness/lawlessness.
