Sermon #052 - Revelation Ch 4-6 The SEVEN SEALS and a COSMIC IMPACT...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church.
And just a personal note for you here, this is no question the most difficult sermon that I have produced so far.
And I don't mean that the subject matter is difficult, but that for me, spiritually and emotionally, right now, this is very, very difficult for me to do because I am So strongly distracted by world events that are so incredibly wicked.
There is so much evil in our world today.
And because this is not a political show, I'm not going to discuss the actual events that are taking place.
What has shocked me so much—oh, and by the way, we're covering Revelation chapter 4 and beyond today, so it's kind of fitting, actually.
But what has shocked me so much is not simply the acts of wickedness and evil that are taking place today on the various war fronts that are happening.
It's not just that evil is taking place.
It is that there's a strong, positive reaction from so many Americans who claim to be members of the church.
And they are celebrating.
They are cheering.
They are happy that human beings are suffering.
This is very disturbing to me as someone who is teaching And what I believe are principles in alignment with Christ's teachings, that all children, all people, excuse me, are children of God, and that we must exercise universal compassion where possible.
It doesn't mean that we have to get steamrolled or walked over or that we don't have the right, you know, to defend ourselves.
If someone breaks into our home, for example, or if they're carjacking our car, of course, we have the right to defend ourselves.
But this bloodlust attitude among so many people who consider themselves to be churchgoers or Christians or cultural conservatives, this bloodlust is highly, highly disturbing to me.
And it reminds me of exactly what we are covering, even what we covered in Revelation chapters 1 through 3, the seven letters to the seven churches.
Some of that important message is, we're witnessing it in the world around us.
We are living in a sea of psychological wickedness.
Our society has fallen into so much sin.
I was just interviewing Pastor Todd Coconato.
And I asked him this same question about how much sin is there in America today.
And I think he said, the sin is stacked so high that it reaches all the way to the heavens or something.
It's like, it's infinite sin in America today.
I mean, have you ever, did you ever imagine that it would get this wicked, that there would be so much celebration of abortions?
Celebration of war, celebration of blood and death, and people laughing maniacally at other people's suffering.
And yes, we live in a world where there is suffering, and absolutely I agree that we can't let our country be overrun.
You know, we can't let drag queens groom our children.
We have to have boundaries.
Obviously, we have to say no and stop, and sometimes we have to say stop forcefully.
But when we must resort to those kinds of things, I would hope that it would engender a sadness, not a celebration.
I mean, for example, I hate to bring this up, and I'm not going to make it graphic or anything.
If someone were to break into your home and you're there with your family, and if you were to have to shoot that person in self-defense, let's, let's say the person was armed and was threatening, you know, to, to harm or, or, or kill you or your family.
And let's say that you chose to exercise your right of self-defense and that you, you shot that person dead in the foyer or whatever, you know, right there.
Would you celebrate that?
I would hope not.
It would be a sad moment.
It would be a moment to pray.
You know, pray to God for guidance, pray for protection, and even pray for the soul of that lost man who broke into your home.
Even though he's dead, pray for his soul to be freed from the clenches of Satan.
Yes, you could pray for somebody that you just shot.
And I think that's actually the appropriate response.
But what we have today, the wickedness in our society today is that people celebrate it.
They would dance and they would film themselves and they would take selfies next to the dead person and they would laugh.
And they would post it online and they would get a bunch of likes.
So cool.
And you know, it's like, what is wrong with our people?
The killing of someone is, is, Not something to celebrate.
The suffering of someone, the bombing of someone, you know, someone being struck with missiles, even if they are your worst enemy, you know, geopolitically, it is not something to celebrate.
It is sad that there is such strife in the world, and it is doubly sad that there are people who who have such bloodlust and who revel in the killing of others.
And so I am, as I said, I'm having a very difficult time.
I will get to the book of Revelation chapter 4 here.
I'll start shortly, but I'm having a very difficult time because of the overwhelming feelings of disappointment after You know, so many thousands of years of God saying to humanity, you know, stop being evil, you know, love one another, you know, care for each other, have compassion, behave with morality.
After thousands of years of that, We arrive at the modern day, I'm recording this in 2024, we arrive at our modern day with, I think, the most sick, demonic, demented people that have ever inhabited this planet.
And that includes the old, old days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
That includes all the corrupt churches and Jezebel and all of it.
From the Old and the New Testament, it includes all of it.
It seems to me like our world is more filled with wickedness today than ever before, which should motivate us more strongly than ever before.
To turn to God, and to turn to Scripture, to find faith in this ultimate divine truth.
Because, you know, we can't find truth in the institutions of human civilization today.
You can't find truth in pop culture.
One of the pop culture icons, and again, I'm not going to name names, that's not what this is about.
A very famous musical artist was just arrested and accused of running blackmail videotaped sex orgies and used that as leverage to blackmail executives across the music industry in order to protect and enhance his own musical career.
And now that he has been arrested and he's going to testify, apparently, We have seen dozens of resignations of top executives in entertainment industry companies, because they probably know exactly what's coming.
And it's just, it's another example of the wickedness of our society today.
The fact that somebody could think that their career would be best served by hosting What were they called?
Some kind of gay sex parties?
And they would hire, engage in human trafficking and hire, I think it was male prostitutes to come in and engage in acts with people that you wanted to compromise so that you could capture them on video and then use that video as leverage against them in order to propel your career?
The fact that that strategy occurs to people today is a sign of the wickedness of our world.
And yes, it pains me to have to read the news.
It pains me to have to react to this.
And maybe there will be days where I just don't.
Maybe I don't even read what's going on because sometimes it's so disappointing.
But I would say that the takeaway from this, I'm not trying to black pill everybody here.
I'm not trying to get you down.
But I am saying that as we continue now with the book of Revelation, please understand that What God unleashed, or at least the vision that was given to John of what God was going to unleash against the wicked society in his day, or maybe soon after that, that vision, that's a tiny, tiny little sample of probably what's coming to our civilization.
Because our modern civilization is far more wicked and demonic than anything that I've read in the Bible.
As wicked and as crazy as some of the things are in the Bible, the modern world blows it away.
So when Jesus returns and when God's wrath is unleashed upon this modern world, it's going to be beyond biblical, is my point.
So I'll start reading chapter 4 here.
What we're reading, just understand, this is a little preview, it's a teaser of what we are about to face, I believe.
I don't know when exactly, not claiming to know when or what all the signals are or the signs or anything.
I don't have that prophetic vision certainty.
And God's booming voice hasn't spoken to me about when the collapse is coming, so I don't know.
But what I do know is that our world is so wicked that it deserves everything that God is about to unleash against it.
And I just pray that those of us who are in our hearts, we are working to try to educate, protect, and uplift fellow human beings.
And we are trying to teach the word of Christ, true to our hearts, in good faith.
And those of us, you included, who practice walking in faith and you practice prayer and you are a good person, you are a person with morals, I pray that we are spared.
I pray that we can navigate this because what's coming for those who are truly wicked will be beyond unbearable.
And I'm concerned that God will unleash area effect weapons, basically.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, the wrath unleashed against all the other wicked leaders, the wicked institutions, the wicked states, the wicked, you know, the pop culture icons, the wicked industries, the wicked regions, like Hollywood and so on.
If God uses area effect weapons, we could be caught in a blast, is all I'm saying.
I don't know if it's fireballs or giant flaming mountains falling out of the sky or a giant ten-horned beast rising up out of the ocean.
Whatever it is.
Area effect weapons.
Let's just be mindful of that.
Okay.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Take a deep breath.
Thank you for your prayers.
This is not always easy for me.
You may think, because I've done 50 plus sermons here in 50 days, you may think that these just, oh, it's automatic, just rolls off the tongue.
No, it does not.
Nobody's helping me with this other than God Himself.
I'm the one.
I'm reading Scripture.
I'm studying Scripture.
I'm doing the research.
I'm pulling together the notes.
I don't have any staff that helped me with this.
This is solely between God and me and you.
That's it.
That's what these sermons are about.
And it takes work.
And I'm doing my best.
So thank you for your understanding and for your support.
Okay.
All right.
Revelation 4.
Verse 1.
After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven.
And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.
By the way, I'm always reading from the New King James Version, in case you're curious.
So, in other words, God has summoned him or an angel has summoned him and basically saying, I'm going to give you a tour of what is coming.
Verse two, immediately I was in the spirit and behold, that is like I left my body and I'm traveling in the spirit.
And behold, a throne sat in heaven and one sat on the throne.
And he who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance, and there was a rainbow around the throne in appearance like an emerald.
In other words, a lot of light, you know, cosmic.
Around the throne were 24 thrones, and on the thrones I saw 24 elders sitting, clothed in white robes, and they had crowns of gold on their head.
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.
So, powerful men, men with godlike powers, right?
Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
And note that previously the lamps represent the church.
Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal.
And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
That's wild.
Eyes all around their heads, right?
The first living creature was like a lion.
The second living creature like a calf.
The third living creature had a face like a man.
And the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
And of course, there are many interpretations today of what these different creatures signify.
And some people believe that the flying eagle, for example, signifies America or the West, even though that might be a stretch, given that the very concept of America didn't, you know, it didn't exist until, what, like 1700 years later or something like that.
So let's see, verse 8, The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within, and they do not rest day or night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.
I'm always, by the way, when I read Revelation, for some reason, I always tend to think that they're describing Advanced futuristic military technology.
You know, what would have six wings and has eyes all around?
Well, it's something with a bunch of cameras all around it.
You know, different, like you pick up your, your mobile phone today, it's got like four cameras on it, you know?
But military craft might very much resemble what's being described here.
Just keep that in mind.
It's just one possibility.
Verse 9, Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.
So, that's chapter four.
Clearly, this is just a setup, just an introduction, kind of the scene.
This is the setting of the table of the power and the divinity of God sitting there and being recognized and, you know, authenticated, you could say, by all these other powerful men who take off their crowns and place them at his feet.
So now we go to Revelation chapter 5.
So here's where some action begins.
And I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back sealed with seven seals.
Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?
And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look at it.
So I wept much because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll or to look at it.
But one of the elders said to me, Do not weep.
Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and one of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb.
As though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Then he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
So of course, by the way, this is a, this is a lamb that has been sacrificed.
And so the lamb obviously represents Jesus.
And so Jesus takes the scroll from his father, the Lord, and then we're going to find out what Jesus is able to do with the seven seals on the scroll.
Verse 8, Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense.
I wonder if some of that's frankincense, huh?
Which are the prayers of the saints.
And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain and have redeemed us to God by your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God, and we shall reign on the earth.
It's a very different song from, you know, like P. Diddy's rap song that you would get today, isn't it?
Okay.
I hope it's different.
Verse 11.
Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000.
And thousands of thousands sang with a loud voice.
So, you know, we're talking What did we decide?
10,000 times 10,000 was?
That would be 100 million, I believe, is the answer.
And so in addition to 100 million, there were also thousands of thousands, which is millions.
Saying with a loud voice, like you didn't know we're going to have to do, you know, algebra and unit conversion in the Bible, but here we go.
Saying with a loud voice, worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom.
"...and strength and honor and glory and blessing.
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, as such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying..." So this is from all the creatures of life and consciousness across the planet.
They said together, "...blessing and honor and glory and power.
Be to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever." So what do we make of this?
All right.
So what do we make of this?
This is, in essence, God's anointing of Christ as being authoritative in the Word of God and being recognized by all the inhabitants of earth, that Christ is king and that he has the authority to open the scroll and break the seals. that Christ is king and that he has the authority And then to provide guidance and wisdom to not just humanity, but all creatures on the earth.
All right, so with that as the context, then we go to chapter 6.
Verse 1, Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, Come and see!
And I looked, and behold, a white horse.
He who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
So this is a symbol of conquering.
So whatever way, I mean conquest, whatever way you want to think about that, who is conquering?
Is it the kings?
Is it maybe one day the Antichrist?
It doesn't say here, but let's move on to the second seal.
Verse three, when he opened the second seal, I heard a second living creature saying, come and see.
Another horse, fiery red, went out and it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth.
That is to remove peace from the earth.
Those are my words.
And that people should kill one another.
This is the verse.
And there was given to him a great sword.
So the red horse, the rider of the red horse is the symbol of war and killing and conquest.
That's not good.
Okay, the third seal.
Here we go.
Verse 5.
When he opened the third seal.
Now, remember, by the way, this is Christ as the lamb opening these seals.
So these are not, I just want to be clear, these seals are not being opened, you know, by, by Satan or an antichrist figure.
These seals are being opened by Christ himself, or at least that's what's portrayed in the vision.
So verse five, when he opened the third seal, I heard a third living creature say, come and see.
So I looked and behold a black horse.
And he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
These are the weighing scales, you know, the old style scales.
And I own some of those, by the way.
I actually, I went on eBay a couple of years ago and I bought some scales with some weight measurements because I thought it would be very useful in a collapsed barter economy to be able to weigh accurately things like pieces of silver, Or, you know, grains of rice or what have you.
Anyway, I'm also fascinated by non-electronic technology.
Like I have old manual typewriters also.
And I have old calculators.
I have old, I have these machines that you can set the dials and then you turn a crank and they do math.
And some of these are, they were created in the old Soviet Union.
Czechoslovakia, and they made mechanical machines that can add, subtract, multiply, and divide by turning a crank.
Yes, I have some of those.
Anyway, I also have some scales, but moving on.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and the wine.
And so this horse is widely believed to represent economic collapse or hyperinflation or economic scarcity, like people being unable to afford food, which is kind of what we're experiencing right now, at least in the early days.
All right, the fourth seal, verse 7.
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see!
So I looked, and behold, a pale horse.
Alright, here we go.
Here we go.
And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him, and power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
Now, I mentioned before that I was going to talk about this color, a pale horse.
In Greek, the original word that was used in this passage is not pale or green or gray.
It was chloros.
Chloros.
And chloros is very similar, shares the same word root as chlorophyll.
And chlorophyll is, of course, this is one of the necessary molecular components in plants that's necessary to carry out photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are converted into plant energy and also plant substances, including the plant nutrients that we are talking about in these sermons every day.
So photosynthesis, taking the power of the sun, which is, let's call it, a representation of the warmth and light and love of God in the sky.
And you've heard me say the Son of God, but sometimes I spell it S-U-N, the Son of God, is in the sky, bringing us warmth and light and all these things, but also bringing us energy for plants.
Chlorophyll.
Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide.
The satanic forces, the Luciferian forces that are currently dominating our modern society, you know, our governments, our science establishments and so on, they are at war with carbon dioxide because they are demonic.
Carbon dioxide with chlorophyll creates food crops and God's medicines.
All of it.
Every herb, every food, every essential oil, every superfood, every plant is created through photosynthesis through chlorophyll.
So when here the fourth seal opens up and it says, so I looked and behold a, you could say a chlorophyll horse.
And the name of him who sat upon it was Death and Hades followed with him.
This is describing the cult of climate crisis, the demonic, satanic, anti-Christ, anti-life, anti-human agenda of the climate lunatics.
And it even says in this verse, and power was given to them over a fourth of the earth There's so much power being given to the climate lunatics right now, the power to determine the economics of the world, the power to determine whether you're allowed to fly on a jet, the power soon to determine how much food you're allowed to eat, the power to ban combustion engines and outlaw combustion engines, which the EPA has already done in the years ahead.
There will be no combustion engines allowed by the year 2035, effectively, except some commercial trucks and things.
If the EPA gets its way, because there is a climate cult that is trying to destroy photosynthesis.
So the pale horse is the horse of climate death.
And it even says, given to them power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death.
What does that mean, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death?
Well, when you block photosynthesis, you cause a global famine.
And you cause global war.
And a lot of people will die because you're shutting off the sun.
Also, they're blocking the sun with global dimming efforts, stratospheric aerosol injection.
They're sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere using the carbon sequestration machines that are being built all across the heartland of America right now, by the way.
They're constructing massive pipelines to carry out basically terraforming to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere, liquefy it under pressure, and to pump it into underground caves where the plants cannot access it.
In other words, this amazing molecule of CO2 that God placed within our atmosphere for food crops and for medicinal herbs to grow.
And for the balance of life to function, for the entire eco-web of life to function, that molecule has been targeted by the Luciferian forces of our modern day climate cultists and the governments, Western governments, that are waging war against the climate.
And that's why there would be so much killing with the sword, with hunger and with death.
It's right there in the fourth seal.
But it doesn't make sense unless you understand that the pale horse is actually named Chloros.
Well, the color is Chloros.
So that's the link there with chlorophyll.
And that's why the food supply collapses.
All right.
The fifth seal.
Oh, and by the way, doesn't it feel like we're in the fourth seal right now?
We're kind of in the epoch of the fourth seal.
Food's getting more expensive.
More and more people are going hungry.
More wars are starting, and there's violent shootings or stabbings.
Especially in Europe, a lot of stabbings are happening right now.
Things are going insane.
Verse 9, when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
In other words, this is the souls of all the Christians that have been persecuted and murdered For preaching the Word of God.
Must be a lot of them.
Because, you know, while Christians have been persecuted for all of recorded human history, even to this day, they continue to be persecuted.
Verse 10, And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?
And you can't blame them for that, right?
Wouldn't you be asking the same question if you were killed for your faith?
Wouldn't you be asking, hey, God, when are you going to come back and, you know, make things right?
When are you going to destroy the Satanists, basically?
Verse 11, then a white robe was given to each of them.
And it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who would be killed as they were was completed.
Now, this would be very sobering news to receive if you were one of these souls, the slain souls.
Would you want to be told, you know, you've awakened and you're like, awesome, Lord, when are you going to destroy Satan?
Jesus tells you, false alarm, take a nap, go back to sleep for a while.
Not enough of you have died yet.
See, that's what's being said here.
There's yet more Christians to be killed before your time to rise will occur, before the Lord avenges your deaths.
So that's not great news if you're one of these souls.
Verse 12, I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake.
All right, this is interesting.
What's the deal with the sixth seal?
Okay, these are earth-shaking, earth-shattering, you know, changes in the cosmos, big things happening.
Here it is.
And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair.
That is, the sun was darkened.
And the moon became like blood.
Why is that?
Because there was particulate matter in the air.
Particulate matter.
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
What?
What are they describing?
They're describing a meteor shower.
The stars of heaven fell to the earth, just like figs drop when it's shaken by a mighty wind, right?
And the moon like blood because there are impacts of the meteors impacting Earth and blowing large plumes of particulate matter into the sky which causes the moon to look red.
Which is also what you observe after a volcano, by the way.
And it will darken the sun.
You know, a big volcano ejects all kinds of material into the atmosphere.
So the sun also became dim.
So very clearly this sixth seal is describing the impact on earth of heavenly bodies, a meteor shower with very likely some rather large impacts that would throw up a lot of dirt and dust.
And this is confirmed, verse 14, then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up.
The sky receded.
So in other words, there was this, the impact material was like rolling across the sky, like a scroll being rolled up.
The blue sky was receding.
It was getting smaller and smaller, but the blackness that was blocking out the sun was rolling out larger and larger.
It's exactly what we would expect with a meteor impact.
And every mountain and island was moved out of its place, it says.
Whoa!
We're talking plate tectonics here.
We're talking literal earth-shattering effects here.
Islands moved?
Mountains moved?
Not just some mountains, but every mountain.
We're talking about a biblical-level impact.
Obviously, this is the Bible, but we're talking about something that rocked the planet.
Could this be God's wrath against a failed human civilization?
Could this be something yet to occur?
Because, by the way, here's what's interesting.
Since this vision happened, there has been no such impact of this magnitude that has occurred on our planet.
We would know if it had.
Because of the archaeological evidence and, you know, well, not to get too geeky, but when meteors impact the Earth, they carry with them unique isotopes of elements.
And when they impact, they send up so much dust and they vaporize a lot of their own material.
As this dust settles around the Earth, it settles on the same layer of soil all over the Earth.
And also, during this impact, there are unique physical structures created, such as what are called microspherules.
Spherules.
I think that's the right way to say it.
That's a tricky word.
But if you take a microscope, if you excavate areas and you get to the right time layer, then you can find evidence of the previous cosmic impacts.
And in fact, I've interviewed several people, part of a group of researchers and lecturers who talk about a major impact, 12,000, I think it's 12,500 Was it 12,500 BC or 12,500 years ago?
I guess I'll have to double check that.
But it's 12,500 is the number.
And that was a major, major impact that caused a great flood and destroyed prehistory civilizations.
And there's extraordinary evidence of that, by the way.
Or what's called before Eden.
Or what's the term they use?
Is it pre-Adamic or pre-Eden?
I'll have to find a term for you.
But anyway, that's the last evidence of a major impact on Earth was, I think it's 12,500 years ago.
Since then, nothing that size, nothing that would meet the description here in the sixth seal.
So let's continue, because this may be coming.
Verse 15, And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
This means that this impact was so large that anybody who had resources, they escaped into the hills and they hid in the mountains.
Verse 16, And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
For the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?
All right?
Fascinating, right?
Clearly the sixth seal is talking about a cosmic impact.
Though what I forgot to mention earlier in the third seal, when it said a quart of wheat for a denarius, One denarius was roughly about one day's wage.
So if you worked all day, you could afford one quart of wheat, essentially.
In other words, you know, food's really, really expensive and people aren't going to have enough to eat.
But let's go back to the cosmic impact here.
Because I hold in my hands a rather remarkable book.
It's called The Comets of God.
New Scientific Evidence for God.
It's authored by Dr. Jeffrey Goodman.
And on the inside cover, I want to read for you who is Dr. Jeffrey Goodman.
Dr. Goodman is an archaeologist and a geologist.
His 20 years of research on the Bible's stories and prophecies of catastrophe has revealed important scientific information hidden in the Bible.
As the original Hebrew words of the Bible were studied and translated according to their ancient usage, There is now significant scientific evidence that supports the Bible and helps to establish the reality of the catastrophic events recorded or prophesied in the Bible.
dramatically different interpretations of key Bible passages.
There is now significant scientific evidence that supports the Bible and helps to establish the reality of the catastrophic events recorded or prophesied in the Bible.
For example, many believe that 40 days of rain caused Noah's flood.
However, Dr. Goodman shows that the Bible specifically says that a comet impact caused the flood. - Good.
A cometary cause for the ancient flood is now supported by a number of scientists.
And it goes on.
This book is published by Archaeological Research Books in Tucson, Arizona, published in 2011.
Now, I want to see, let me find the part about the seven seals.
So this gets very, very interesting because we have seen, this is from the book, we have seen how the biblical God repeatedly refers to comets as the weapons of his wrath.
In addition, we have seen how scientific study of the great catastrophes of the Old Testament show that they were caused by comets.
And he covers that in the book here.
Only cosmic impacts can deliver a hundred pound hailstones.
Only cosmic impacts are powerful enough to rock the Earth on its axis and cause earthquake shaking violent enough to flatten all the cities of the world.
Only cosmic impacts that penetrate the Earth's crust can heat the interior of the Earth enough to make all the mountains and islands of the world disappear and finally engulf or baptize the entire planet in fire as called for by the Last Trumpet and Vial.
Which we'll get to in another sermon coming up.
From this baseline of understanding that the seven trumpets and vials are about a series of comet impacts, it is relatively easy to expand our understanding of other parts of the Book of Revelation and other end times events described in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
To get the correct overview of the End Times, it is essential to know that the Bible says that it is God, not man, who will orchestrate the events of the End Times, just as God orchestrated the events during the Exodus.
In other words, the End Times doesn't refer to mankind's nuclear war.
It's going to be initiated by God, God's events.
God will use the comets that He says He has prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year as part of His original plan of creation, Revelation 9, verse 15, and Isaiah 40, verse 26.
God will deliver His wrath and judgment upon mankind through the power of nature, the natural forces of comets.
Now, I've mentioned this before, how God uses nature.
to get things done.
I mean, he even used the wind to bring manna from the sky, didn't he?
Use the wind.
He would use earthquakes and wind and water and fire where necessary.
But these are elements and forces of nature that God controls.
So the reason that God must use these natural forces is because, well, as said in the book here, he will not be breaking the laws of heaven and earth, which he says he ordained and cannot Job 38, Jeremiah 31 and 33.
I'm not going to read the verse numbers.
We're not going to go into that much detail.
These are the same immutable scientific laws that our scientists now use and place their trust in.
As the size of the impacts increase, it seems that God will be giving people a chance to recognize what is happening and why.
There will be an opportunity for people to recognize that this is the finger of God, just as Pharaoh's magicians told him after the third plague of the Exodus, in Exodus chapter 8, verse 19.
All right, now I'm going to a different chapter of this book to read the following for you.
This is a really important passage.
And by the way, I should cover this in more detail in upcoming sermons, and I will.
Here it says, the Book of Revelation refers to seven rounds of these impact events.
These end times, wonders, or plagues are called the seven trumpets and the seven vials, which are often translated as the seven bowls, by the way.
That's where he's getting vials here.
Each round, each of the seven rounds, will consist of one trumpet and one bowl, let's say, which occur concurrently.
And represent two different views of the same disastrous event.
These wonders or plagues are interrelated and will involve the Earth undergoing very rare, but natural, cosmic impact phenomena over a three and a half year period.
Mmm, interesting!
That's where three and a half years comes from.
During this time, a sequence of seven separate and increasingly severe rounds of bombardment by icy comets coming in from space will occur.
Jesus described the last of these bombardments when he referred to the tribulation of the end times in Matthew 24, verse 29, saying the stars shall fall from heaven, which is from the sky of the solar system, and that there would be signs involving the sun and the moon.
The seven trumpets of the Book of Revelation tell of the disastrous effect of each round of comet bombardment on the Earth.
And we'll get to the seven trumpets.
While the seven vials, or the seven bowls, of the Book of Revelation tell of the disastrous effects of each round of comet bombardment on mankind.
Thus, the first trumpet and the first vial taken together give the full set of effects upon Earth and mankind." See, this is starting to unravel a lot of difficult interpretation here.
So again, the trumpet talks about what's going to happen to Earth when the impacts occur, and the vials, or the bowls, talk about what happens to mankind, or the people.
This sequence of seven separate rounds of comet bombardment occurring during a three and a half year period matches what scientists have only recently discovered about cosmic bombardment.
That cosmic impacts, rather than occurring singly as previously thought, can be bunched in time or concentrated into brief catastrophic periods in which multiple impacts occur.
I want to mention something else too.
These comets can travel around the solar system For, you know, millions of years.
Now, would God have known the trajectory of this, of whatever this comet sequence is?
Could God have seen that trajectory 2,000 years ago?
Absolutely.
That would be child's play, especially if you're God and you can see all time.
But the impact upon Earth of these comets was already set in stone thousands of years ago.
Even though we don't, you know, our telescopes can't see it yet, supposedly, but God could see it.
And God could warn John about this.
And that may be what the book of Revelation is referring to.
And by the way, one of the pieces of evidence that we may be approaching the end of days here is that we are starting to figure this out.
And this is mentioned in this book here by Dr. Goodman.
He says, throughout the centuries, there's been a roadblock made by God himself to interpretation of the Bible's end times prophecies.
The Bible says that certain words are closed up and sealed till the end of time.
It's in Daniel chapter 12.
And that certain prophecies of great catastrophes won't be clearly understood until the last days.
That's in Jeremiah.
In the last days, you will clearly understand it.
On this basis alone, interpretations of certain end times prophecies put forth before the beginning of the end times must also be suspect.
Not until the End Times will knowledge have increased enough for certain prophecies to be correctly interpreted and understood.
But now we have recent advances in scientific knowledge about comets, so we can understand a number of the miraculous and catastrophic events that the Bible says took place during Old Testament times.
Likewise, this same information about comets brings new understanding about the catastrophic events described in The Trumpet and the Vile Prophecies.
This new information is consistent with a quote from Jesus in Mark 4.22, saying, For nothing is hidden except to be revealed, nor has anything been secret but that it should come to light.
We will see that there is both biblical and scientific precedent for the types of events that the seven trumpets and the seven vials prophesy.
We will see that there is both biblical and scientific precedent for the types of events that the seven trumpets and the seven vials prophesy to occur during the end times.
This is getting very, very interesting.
Now, of course, we're almost out of time for today's sermon, and we have now completed chapter six of the book of Revelation, but we're just starting to get to the juicy parts.
However, the sixth seal, clearly, this is unambiguous, it's as clear as day, is describing a cosmic impact event upon the Earth and an event of such scale that it has never occurred before.
So it must be something that is yet to occur from the time that John was granted this vision and then recorded it for us to read, what, almost 2,000 years later.
Wow!
Wow!
At a time when our Earth is at, like, maximum sin, you know, maximum wickedness.
And whenever these comets are going to impact our planet, God already knew about this, obviously, you know, thousands of years ago, could just do the math and, you know, gravity and velocity.
Oh, guess what?
Boom!
There's an impact.
What year is that impact?
I don't know.
Maybe it's now, maybe it's ten years from now, maybe it's a hundred years from now.
I don't know, but we are into some peak wickedness, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's soon.
So, hey, there's one piece of good news in all of this is that it doesn't look like we're going to be destroyed by global nuclear war.
Nope, we're going to be destroyed by comet impacts, which will be far worse, by the way.
The sun will be blocked out for probably a couple of years at least, and most structures on the Earth will be destroyed.
So obviously there would be a massive, massive reset of the population of the Earth.
And so what are the globalists doing right now?
They're building underground caves, aren't they?
They're building bunkers and they're stocking them with food so they can survive whatever's coming.
Do you think, I'm just putting this out there, okay?
I'm not claiming this is the case, but is it possible that the government telescopes have already spotted the incoming comets?
They're on their way and that Top secret high-level government scientists, or maybe people running the telescopes at the Vatican, who knows, that they've already figured out, yep, there's going to be an impact, and it's going to be a civilization-ending impact.
And it's going to happen on this date.
Is it possible they already know that?
And maybe the globalist elite got word of this?
And so that's why they're putting all the seeds in that ice vault.
Is it in Iceland?
It's like the Noah's Ark of seeds.
Is this why they're building the underground bunkers and stocking them with 10 years of food?
Is this why they are also trying to exterminate human populations right now so that there are fewer people on the surface of the earth when the impacts come so that there's not as big of A civil unrest problem for the governments to deal with?
And by the way, if the governments of the world, if they knew that an impact was coming, do you think they would tell us?
No, not a chance.
Not a chance.
They don't want to disrupt the drivers that work for FedEx.
You know, they don't want to, they want you to keep doing what you're always doing.
Go to work.
Work in your cubicle, pay your taxes, just stay in the rhythm of what you've been doing.
Don't do anything different.
You know, we've got to keep the lights on so that the globalists can prepare.
But if they were to reveal to the whole world, um, hey, we've got, you know, we've only got, you know, 14 months or whatever.
Then all hell would break loose.
There'd be mass chaos across the world.
Like, nobody would go to the jobs anymore, for one thing.
Society would completely break down.
And then that would make it more difficult for the globalists to actually, to get the supplies they need for preparedness.
So I can assure you, if they have knowledge of an incoming comet, they're never going to tell the public.
You won't know about it until it's in the sky.
Spitting fire and smoke.
And by that time, it's like, you know, 48 hours away.
And it's like, oh, I guess we're done here.
You know, it's like, well, it was a good run while it lasted.
At that point, it's done.
So could that also be the answer of why God has not intervened yet?
Because he knows the giant comets are coming anyway, going to clean up the earth once and for all when that happens.
If you're asking the question, like, the world is so wicked right now, where is God?
Where is Christ?
I thought he said he's going to return.
Oh, perhaps if you had a proper telescope, you could see that return, or at least some elements of it, you know?
Just saying, just saying, folks, look, There are obviously many different ways to interpret the book of Revelation.
I never insist that you understand it in the same way that I do.
I'm just offering this as a really intriguing way to look at this.
And personally, you know, my background is in food science.
I mean, I'm a scientist who now teaches scripture.
I was brought to scripture through science, which is really unusual.
And I think I'm the only person, at least that I've ever heard of, that's teaching Bible nutrition specifically focused on all these amazing nutrients from the Bible that are backed by modern science.
I mean, maybe somebody else is doing some of it, but I've never heard of it.
So I'm intrigued by What scientific evidence can bring to our awareness that confirms the Bible, that confirms the presence of God in our lives, the miracles of God that are around us each and every day.
And that's why I was drawn to this book by Dr. Jeffrey Goodman, The Comets of God, New Scientific Evidence for God, specifically about the cosmic impacts.
And since we know God works through nature, And we know that God has rained down, you know, meteors and flaming mountains on, you know, wicked cities before, Sodom and Gomorrah being the easiest example.
We know God's done that before, which means this is a vector of judgment against human civilization that is, it's documented to have already occurred.
And by the way, there is scientific evidence of the actual meteor impacts in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that indicate the formation of glass-like substances and the microspherules and everything else.
It's all there today.
It was hit by meteors.
And that was just a little tiny bit of wrath.
The big wrath cometh.
The giant ice ball comets are coming.
They are on a trajectory for Earth.
They're on a collision course.
And when they strike Earth, all of human civilization, as we know it today, will be wiped out.
God's judgment will be complete.
Because our planet has turned so wicked.
That's what's coming, I believe.
You are, of course, free to believe whatever you wish.
But in that moment, I also think it's those who have faith and who practice their faith who can be saved.
So I'm not saying that everybody dies, but most people probably die.
And let's be honest, there's a lot of wicked people that You're not going to miss when, you know, like seriously, God's not going to miss him either.
God's going to send them to hell.
God's going to vaporize them.
I mean, you realize the amount of energy released when large comets strike the earth at like insane relative velocities.
We're not even talking like Mach 5 or Mach 10.
That's just multiples of the speed of sound.
Like Mach 10 is what?
12,000 kilometers per hour.
Something like that.
Some of these meteors impact Earth at relative velocities that are like a hundred times faster than that.
You know, I mean, it's the word Mach can't even define it.
You're not even in the right realm.
These things come in so fast.
You may have no warning at all, or it may be just one hour, like is mentioned for the city of Babylon.
Just all like you see it in the sky.
Like, what is that?
That really bright.
It looks like a kind of like a second sun in the sky.
Wait a minute.
It's getting brighter.
Huh?
What are you?
Hey, hey, hey, Barbara.
What do you think that is up up there?
Wow.
It's getting brighter still.
Look at that.
Huh?
And you look at your watch and it turns out you have like 57 minutes remaining.
It's gonna be a lot of people getting on their knees and begging God for forgiveness.
If that happens, aren't there?
Yeah.
So, anyway, that's today's sermon.
I'm sorry it's a little bit on the long side.
I started out with too much of a personal story of the difficulty that I'm feeling today with all the wickedness in the world.
But I think we ended on a really positive note, like the total destruction of human civilization.
I'm saying that sarcastically, obviously.
The final judgment upon Earth and the final wipeout of the wickedness of what the human race, sadly, has largely become.
So whenever this happens, try not to be where the impacts occur.
Unfortunately, we can't know where those are.
But do you realize that roughly two-thirds to three-fourths of the surface of the Earth is covered with water?
And thus, there's a pretty good chance that one or more of these impacts is going to occur in an ocean and would set off a massive, massive, unprecedented tidal wave. - Right.
And so when you hear about modern day prophets, some of them keep seeing tidal waves, like physical tidal waves, not metaphoric tidal waves.
You know, one, one space rock hitting the Atlantic at You know, a hundred thousand kilometers per hour or whatever, depending on the mass of it and the angle and everything.
Could you have a thousand foot high tidal waves inundating the entire East coast?
Yep.
You sure could.
And if you doubt that.
Just look up the collision of the comet.
I think it was called Levy 9.
Did that hit Jupiter, I believe, maybe 20 years ago, whatever.
I think it was the 1990s.
I think that comet got ripped apart.
It got separated into multiple pieces and it struck Jupiter.
Was it Jupiter?
No.
Okay, yeah, now I'm looking it up.
Here it is.
Schumacher-Levy 9.
1994.
Collided with Jupiter.
I was right.
That's spooky.
Wow.
It broke into comet fragments because the gravity was ripping it apart, so it broke into fragments.
Each fragment Was one to two kilometers in diameter.
So we're not talking about little crumbs here.
We're talking about, we're talking about mountains.
Each fragment was a giant mountain.
Let's see.
Wow.
The impacts on Jupiter's atmosphere created massive anti-cyclonic storm systems, which persisted for months.
Whoa.
Okay.
Um, and it was all captured by the Galileo spacecraft.
So you can go online and you can find images of that.
And I believe this is going from memory from the 1990s, but I believe that one of the fireballs that was generated by this impact, one of the fireballs was larger than earth.
So that's kind of, there you go.
You know, that's kind of a, that's a wake up call.
You're like, what?
There's a fireball?
Like a giant mushroom cloud in the sky of Jupiter and the cloud, the fireball is larger than the entire planet of Earth?
Yep!
That's what happens when comets strike and they can just rip to shreds a whole planet of civilization.
And wouldn't you know it, you know, I just saw a tweet from Elon Musk and he just tweeted out, he said, sooner or later, Earth is either going to be destroyed by a comet impact or if we live long enough, you know, the sun will burn itself out and eventually actually it will enlarge into a giant, like a red giant, and it will engulf the Earth.
But I found it interesting that Elon Musk is tweeting about comet impacts destroying Earth.
If anybody would know about this, it's him.
And this is why he says, we have to go to Mars.
We have to go to Mars because Earth is going to get hit.
I mean, isn't that weird that he's saying that right now?
What does he know?
And by the way, Mars doesn't sound that great to me.
What are you going to grow on Mars with atmospheric pressure of 0.6% of Earth's?
You're not going to grow anything.
What are they talking about going to Mars?
How are you going to live on Mars?
Unless they've been lying to us this whole time about the atmosphere, which is also a possibility.
But Elon Musk, warning, comet impacts will destroy human civilization on Earth.
Hmm.
And so does the Bible.
Wow.
All right, so we'll pick this up with Revelation chapter 7 soon, and I'll also I'll quote from this book, The Comets of God, and of course the next sermon we'll probably do will be on foods and superfoods, and we'll quote from some of the reference books I have on superfoods.
But I intend to bring you the best analysis I can on nutrition, foods, superfoods, but also comet or impact theory, because it's real.
And this is probably how this all ends, by the way, is a giant impact.
Probably doesn't even matter like what part of the planet you live on if you're going to face like three years of mass starvation and crazy storms also on top of that.
But we'll see.
We'll see where it goes.
Watch the sky, you know, just in case.
If you see unusual lights up there, I don't know.
Pray to God.
Pray to God.
And make sure you're on the right side with God before that day comes.
You don't want to be the last in line.
Like, we have 57 minutes left.
God, forgive me for all my sins.
Can you name the sins in 57 minutes?
Probably not.
It's not enough time.
You're going to need hours to name all that.
You're going to need days.
Or at least some of the Hollywood people will.
You could spend a year naming all your sins, all the crap that you did in Hollywood.
Still couldn't get all of it nailed down.
Alright.
Well, enough of that.
I don't know if this is good news or bad news, but whatever.
Let's continue to learn from Scripture.
And let's keep ourselves healthy and in good spirits as best we can.
Let's be prepared for whatever comes.
Look, we're all going to leave this earth one day, folks.
We're all going to leave it.
What matters is the inheritance you have with God when you do leave it.
So you can work on that no matter whether a giant comet is coming or not.
And the sooner you get started, the more you can accomplish before that day comes.
So join me in that.
