=== Sixth Trumpet War (02:19) ===

[00:00:00]  You've stated in 2017 that it may be the greatest year of prophetic fulfillment in history.
[00:00:09]  What do you mean by that?
[00:00:10]  Well, the reason I say that is because there are two major prophetic fulfillments, and either of them could happen within the next 12 months.
[00:00:18]  The one I think we mentioned maybe briefly, and that's the war that's going to kill one-third of mankind.
[00:00:24]  It's the sixth trumpet war.
[00:00:27]  It's located in Revelation 9, verse number 13 through 21.
[00:00:30]  When the sixth trumpet sounds, this war is going to take place.
[00:00:35]  It will start from the Euphrates River.
[00:00:37]  Since they're fighting up and down the Euphrates right now, then it's very possible that we could already be in that war.
[00:00:43]  We don't know that for sure yet.
[00:00:45]  But it's coming.
[00:00:46]  There's nothing going to change it because the prophecies always come to pass.
[00:00:50]  The other major prophetic fulfillment is the Middle East peace agreement, which will mark the beginning of the final seven years.
[00:00:57]  Like we've said before, Donald Trump wants to reach that agreement.
[00:01:01]  The whole world wants there to be an agreement to solve the Palestinian-Israeli problem, and it is going to happen.
[00:01:09]  The only question is when.
[00:01:11]  I suppose maybe, Pastor Jim, at this time, it'd be really good because I don't like to just pull things out of the air without allowing people to sort of understand it.
[00:01:21]  You know, when we talk about the sixth trumpet, most people say the trumpets, you know, I don't know anything about the trumpets.
[00:01:28]  Well, I had always been taught that the trumpets would all happen during the final seven years and the church was going to be gone.
[00:01:35]  So I didn't bother with the trumpets too much.
[00:01:37]  But then when I found out the scriptures teach that we'll still be here, I started investigating and I began to understand.
[00:01:45]  And I believe I can prove that the first five trumpets have already sounded now.
[00:01:50]  Whoa, can you do it fast?
[00:01:52]  I want to hear it.
[00:01:53]  Okay.
[00:01:55]  The first one I understood was the third trumpet.
[00:01:59]  I kept hearing that, you know, the Bible says under the third trumpet, a star by the name of wormwood would fall to the ground, the waters would be made bitter, and men would die because of the waters.

=== Understanding End Time (03:28) ===

[00:02:10]  Well, I started hearing back in 1986 that the Russian word for wormwood was Chernobyl.
[00:02:20]  Well, the Chernobyl nuclear action occurred on April the 26th of 1986.
[00:02:25]  Well, when you're in the prophecy ministry, you hear crazy things.
[00:02:29]  I mean, I've got 75 Antichrists in my filing cabinet right now.
[00:02:36]  So you hear all kinds of things.
[00:02:37]  So I've always tried to be really careful because I didn't want to discredit the marvelous prophecies with baseless speculation.
[00:02:45]  So I just sort of shoved that.
[00:02:47]  I thought, surely not, surely not.
[00:02:49]  Well, in 1995, I was writing the manual for our Understanding End Time series.
[00:02:53]  We have a series called Understanding the End Time.
[00:02:57]  It's 14 DVDs, and it really gives a person what they really need to know to get a good grasp of the prophecies of the Bible.
[00:03:04]  So I was writing a manual for this series in 1995, and sometimes writing flows, and sometimes you get writers' block.
[00:03:11]  Well, it was flowing that day.
[00:03:13]  I was sitting there typing, and it was going, and I was feeling so good.
[00:03:16]  My door was closed in my office.
[00:03:18]  And all of a sudden, it's like a little voice spoke to me, not audibly, but said, you know that thing you heard about wormwood, about Chernobyl being wormwood?
[00:03:29]  And I want you to check that out.
[00:03:31]  So I reached over and pulled my phone book out and called the local library, asked for the reference department, and I said, ma'am, I've heard that the Russian word for wormwood is Chernobyl.
[00:03:43]  Could you research that for me and tell me whether that's true or not?
[00:03:46]  She says, it is true.
[00:03:48]  For you see, the Russians used wormwood for medicinal purposes and it turned their tongues black.
[00:03:54]  And the Russian word for black is chernin, and they began to call wormwood Chernobyl.
[00:03:58]  She rattled off the top of her head the awfulest bunch of information.
[00:04:04]  And I said, Ma'am, I'm going to be willing to write an article about this.
[00:04:08]  Could you give me documentation?
[00:04:10]  She said, I'll call you back.
[00:04:11]  She called me back in 20 minutes.
[00:04:13]  She had the books.
[00:04:14]  She had the page numbers.
[00:04:15]  She had a Russian dictionary.
[00:04:17]  She had it all laid out.
[00:04:19]  I was in awe because God, I felt like told me to call.
[00:04:22]  And of all the people to get off, I said, one more thing, ma'am.
[00:04:25]  Thank you very much for helping me, but it's not normal that you knew all this off the top of your head.
[00:04:31]  How'd you know this?
[00:04:32]  She said, oh, I'm working on my doctorate in Russian right now, and I've been studying these things.
[00:04:36]  So of all the people in the world, God had me call that first.
[00:04:40]  Yeah.
[00:04:41]  Well, then I did, I bought a book called The Truth About Chernobyl, written by one of the scientists that was there that night.
[00:04:48]  And what happened was they wanted to do an experiment, and they disabled some of the safety equipment.
[00:04:55]  And they had the rods raised that stopped, that kept the nuclear reaction from happening inside the Chernobyl nuclear reactor.
[00:05:04]  So they had raised the rods, and it started heating up too fast.
[00:05:08]  So the person in control quickly said, put them back down, put them back down.
[00:05:11]  Too late.
[00:05:12]  The rods had become warped and they couldn't get them back down.
[00:05:15]  The first nuclear explosion hit and it drove a 2 million pound concrete lid off the top of the reactor.

=== Saddam: The Destroyer (05:34) ===

[00:05:23]  It came back down cocked, exposed in the atmosphere to a full nuclear fire.
[00:05:28]  The second explosion hit and drove nuclear material one mile into the air.
[00:05:35]  It then was carried by the wind into Sweden, into Germany, and throughout Europe.
[00:05:40]  The result was it rained incessantly for the next five days.
[00:05:45]  It filled the waters of Europe with these nuclides, Cesar 137.
[00:05:50]  Anybody that drank that ingested that nuclide, it goes to your bone marrow and has a half-life of 30 years.
[00:05:57]  Well, the prophecy says that the waters were made bitter and many men died because of the waters.
[00:06:03]  125,000 so far have died.
[00:06:07]  And the doctors and the scientists estimate that there are 2 million people in Europe right now that are going to have cancer.
[00:06:14]  The thyroid cancer rate in the area of Chernobyl is 248 times normal.
[00:06:21]  I became convinced that the third trumpet sounded in 1986 after I saw all the evidence.
[00:06:28]  It was undeniable.
[00:06:30]  Well, then I thought, but what about the first trumpet and the second trumpet?
[00:06:34]  Well, I read those two, and the second trumpet, it says that there would be a great star that would fall into the earth.
[00:06:41]  Let me see if I can quote this from memory.
[00:06:44]  It says that there's a great war, and that one-third of the ships that were in the sea were destroyed, and that there was a great mountain burning with fire that was cast into the sea.
[00:06:55]  I thought, that's never happened.
[00:06:57]  So I thought, well, maybe I'm wrong.
[00:06:59]  So I sort of put it on the shelf for a few months.
[00:07:02]  But then one day I got to thinking about World War II, the greatest war the world's ever known.
[00:07:07]  52 million dead.
[00:07:09]  And so I said to my research assistant, Kathy, I said, Kathy, go to the library and find out how many ships participated in World War II and how many of them were sunk.
[00:07:20]  She walked back in three or four days later and she laid a piece of paper on my desk and I looked at it and it said 105,127 ships participated in World War II and 36,000 of them were sunk.
[00:07:34]  Well, that's just right at one-third.
[00:07:36]  One-third of the ships were destroyed.
[00:07:38]  I said, Kathy, I didn't ask you to cook the books.
[00:07:41]  I want to know the truth.
[00:07:43]  Because, you know, sometimes when people work for you, they want to please you.
[00:07:47]  And so she said, oh, no, honestly, the librarian helped me.
[00:07:50]  That is the fact.
[00:07:52]  Well, now I'm really wowed.
[00:07:53]  And then I thought, well, what's this mountain burning with fire casting sea?
[00:07:57]  World War II, the first atomic bomb cast on Hiroshima.
[00:08:02]  And have you ever seen a mushroom cloud?
[00:08:04]  It's like a great mountain burning with fire.
[00:08:06]  I have pictures of it.
[00:08:08]  And I then realized that World War II was the second trumpet.
[00:08:12]  Well, then that makes World War I the first trumpet.
[00:08:16]  Well, then under the fifth trumpet, the Bible says that the bottomless pit was opened and smoke came out of the pit and the sun and the sky were darkened by reason of the smoke.
[00:08:26]  In 1991, when Herbert Walker Bush forced Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Kuwait, in vengeance, he set 700 of the world's richest oil wells on fire.
[00:08:37]  I have pictures.
[00:08:39]  The sky was dark.
[00:08:41]  The sun was not seen for over three months in Kuwait.
[00:08:44]  It looked like it was midnight at noonday.
[00:08:48]  And then it said that locusts came out of the smoke with breastplates of iron, faces of men.
[00:08:55]  Their stings were in their tails.
[00:08:56]  I thought, what's that?
[00:08:57]  It sounds like a guy trying to describe an airplane.
[00:09:00]  He's never seen one.
[00:09:01]  John the Revelator.
[00:09:03]  I saw locusts of iron, breastplates of iron, faces of men.
[00:09:08]  It's Pilate sitting in the cockpit.
[00:09:11]  And then it says, and this is the clincher to me, verse 11 of chapter number 9 of Revelation says, and they had a king over them called the Destroyer.
[00:09:22]  In the King James, it says Abaddon or Apollyon, but you look up both those words and it says the destroyer.
[00:09:28]  Many translations now say they have a king over them called the destroyer.
[00:09:33]  Well, what does that mean?
[00:09:35]  Well, I was on my way to preach a conference.
[00:09:37]  Judy, my wife, was driving me, and she said, hey, your new Jerusalem post just arrived.
[00:09:41]  You want to take it?
[00:09:42]  I said, yes.
[00:09:43]  And so there was an article in there about the last family out of Baghdad.
[00:09:47]  It was not a prophecy article at all, but this lady was telling the story that her mother, no, I said that wrong.
[00:09:54]  Yeah.
[00:09:55]  Her mother was in Baghdad, and Saddam Hussein's mother was pregnant with Saddam, and she was having a terrible pregnancy.
[00:10:02]  Why does that surprise me?
[00:10:04]  Anyway, she was having this horrible pregnancy, and the Iraqi doctors wanted her to abort, but she didn't want to abort.
[00:10:11]  So she moved to the Jewish sector of Baghdad where the finest doctors lived, and they nursed her through that pregnancy.
[00:10:18]  In this article, you're not going to believe this.
[00:10:20]  In this article in Jerusalem Post, it said, I named him Saddam because it means the destroyer, and he almost destroyed me.
[00:10:29]  They have a king over them named the Destroyer.
[00:10:33]  Wow.
[00:10:34]  I came to believe then that the fifth trumpet sounded in 1991, which means the sixth trumpet is the next scheduled event.
[00:10:43]  The war that's going to kill one-third of mankind, and it's going to happen from the Euphrates River, and ISIS has captured 40% of the Euphrates in the last two years.
