Revelation 9; Verses 1-3; The First Woe Trumpet

The 5th trumpet in the awesome chapter of Revelation 9.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 9:1-3) "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

(The first woe trumpet from the previous verse (that is trumpets 5, 6, and 7; the 3 woe trumpets). This star is of course Satan himself. And there can be no mistake who has the key to the bottomless pit. It was given to him. A few verses down the locusts (kenites in the 4th stage of the locust, consumer stage) have a king over them. On both languages, Hebrew and Greek Satan in the role of destroyer with his other roles as well. The roles are for us to know our enemy and his operation all throughout Scripture. Example; antichrist from the Greek means instead of Chris/in place of Christ, as Satan is coming first to claim to be Christ/God).

The abyss is the bottomless pit. Kind of like being strapped in on the never-ending demon drop. Who would want to ride that. Satan has no choice for wanting to be God and God over the people going back to his rebellion in the first Heaven and Earth age.

(Well, why in Revelation 20:1 does the angel have the key? No one opens the prison door and puts themselves in a strait jacket? This is complete degradation once again. In other words, Satan spends the Millennium at the scene of the crime).

(I bet if he had his choice of one book to read it would be the Bible. To work on his scripture twisting for his benefit. Because this feller just cannot get a clue).

(Revelation 20:1-3) "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

And once again as in Revelation 12:7-12, your told the dragon is Satan, the devil himself. Just as he was serpent in the garden and not some fairy tale story of a talking snake feeding Eve, then Adam a fruit salad (apple).

3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."

(After they are taught in the Millennium Satan tests them to see if they want to follow the Lord, or Satan once again. For a later study).

Back to Revelation 9:2,

2And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened (gloomy spiritually) by reason of the smoke of the pit.

(The smoke-like a fog, causing those who are not Christians to not be able to see straight. The whole sun being darkened. And so the children of the night can come out and play in total confusion. Dazed and confused as we head to Babylon--the new world order/one world system when Satan claims to be Christ/God and they take the mark of the beast. Remember Babylon means confusion. For the state of mind their in, making it the physical place--the World. Remember the weather events we see in the trumpets always contribute to the famine as we are heading to complete darkness when Christ comes back on the day of the Lord. And do it increasingly as more and more people become a part of it. They don't get into God's Word. Things become worse, and they only see to remove Christ more).

(The air? Who is Satan until Christ comes back? Now he has begun to have full control in the World's darkest hour).

(Ephesians 2:2) "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience."

(Obviously, this is not physical. As in the atmosphere. But figurative like we refer to the condition of things--the atmosphere. Speaking of Satan's spirit, the fallen angels, and evil spirits/evil messengers. But not in the end-times for the woe trumpets. He will be in the flesh as he come from Heaven to Earth to claim to be Christ/God).

(Satan controls the frequency sound waves/airwaves in this World. Which is to say the spiritual World. Because he is allowed to do so).

What is awesome is when Christ comes back, He takes over the "air", and we're changed into spiritual breath of life bodies, having immortal souls. That is the first Resurrection. Then we're in the Millennium. No rapture/pre trib rapture). Scripture references; I Corinthians 15:50-55; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:4-6. All the same timing. I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Christ resurrects those in Heaven already with Him, and us who are alive are resurrected next. Obviously so, to bring them they have to be resurrected first. As Christ is coming with clouds, meaning cloud of witnesses. The word air = to blow breath of life bodies. Yes! Because this is the first resurrection after the tribulation.

First of let's ask when talking end-times prophecy. Do you see a rapture in the order of events? Never. Next, I Thessalonians 4:17. It would mean those who Christ brings with Him, and believers alive will be suspended in the air in the clouds forever. Where else in Scripture is this? Double witness? So, how is it if Heaven is on Earth, will it also be in the air in the clouds forever? Rhetorical question. Obviously nonsense. Which is why you do not go with one verse, one verse there. Making up what they want to believe.

We are supposed to know this before being sealed also like Daniel 12:4 states. Hence why you have this sealing at the 5th trumpet in the next verses, before satan claims to be Christ/God at the 6th trumpet. Seal = To know before hand being protected from satan.

Okay, we will look into what else comes out of the abyss in the next post.

AMEN †
