| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church, and let me apologize up front for the difficulty that I am having presenting these sermons right now, because, well, today we're going to cover Revelation chapter 13.
That's where we're picking it up.
And I will get back to foods and herbs and nutrients and so on here, I hope soon.
But I'm having a lot of difficulty.
Covering the Book of Revelation and Ezekiel 38-39, because I keep getting interrupted from sources, intel sources, who keep sending me things that I'm having to cover in my regular non-church broadcasts, things that sort of point to Armageddon and the end of the world.
For me, it's highly disturbing to realize how rapidly our society is collapsing.
We are living in a world that is crumbling by the day, right before our very eyes.
I mean, it is cascading down, and there are so many parallels with what we're seeing in the book of Revelation and many other prophecies from the Bible.
Although I don't believe that we are in the Tribulation at the moment, not yet, because we haven't had a massive comet impact yet.
But I can't deny the similarities.
We are in the craziest times.
We're all living through this, and that's why I think Scripture can be so powerful, so informative, because it's not a theoretical thing.
And that's why I'm trying to translate this into modern language and modern events, because Scripture speaks to us right now.
It's a mistake to look at Scripture and say, oh, well, that was 2,000 years ago, there's a bunch of old dudes who thought God was speaking to them, and oh, that's long gone.
No!
No, these were people who God gave words that are timeless, words that do apply to our time.
I mean, we are looking at super weapons being dropped in southern Lebanon, right in the areas spoken about in Ezekiel 39.
We're looking at attacks on Israel.
We're looking at the accelerationists trying to sacrifice red heifers in Jerusalem.
We're looking at so many biblical things happening right now, and I just learned that the 101st of the U.S.
military has been deployed to the Middle East.
And although these sermons are never about current events, this is not about news, this is not about what's happening today, but Scripture is happening today.
So it's kind of hard to not pay attention to the parallels that we see between the Scripture And the events that are literally taking place in front of our own eyes in a way that we have never seen before in our lifetimes.
So that's why I'm struggling so much right now.
I mean, recording the first 50 sermons that I did here, that was not such a big deal, not a challenge.
I mean, I really enjoyed it.
But now, as we're in these end times sermons, and I feel like we need to continue, I am hitting a lot of issues that are difficult to plow through because of how much it's related to our current times.
So I just wanted to share that with you and also to say, if you are feeling some trepidation about our world, I want you to know I'm feeling it too.
You're not alone.
Everybody's feeling it.
I mean, anybody who's paying attention.
And those who pay attention the most, they realize this is biblical.
The things that are happening right now are going to shape the future of human civilization.
God is watching.
Christ is coming back.
There are going to be meteors that fall out of the sky.
There is going to be judgment upon our earth.
And we're not even to the first comet yet, which means it's going to get a lot worse from where it is right now.
We're not even into the beginning of the worst part.
We're only in the warm-up of what's coming.
Not trying to black pill everybody, but just saying, it has only just begun.
But let's actually back up and just a quick overview of Revelation chapter 12.
More signs in the heavens!
Behold a great fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and seven diadems on his heads.
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth and so on.
So then we have the woman, the dragon, the child.
These are all just different descriptions of meteors.
Things exploding in the sky or hitting the earth and exploding.
And then we have Satan being thrown out of heaven as Michael and his angels are fighting with the dragon and trying to save some part of earth from this impact.
And then we have this woman who was given two wings of the great eagle.
A serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon has spewed out of its mouth.
Which is, that's all of the melted ice from an ice comet that then disappears into this giant hole in the earth.
So we're still, we're still seeing stories about cosmic impacts.
And then now, Revelation chapter 13, the beast from the sea.
Verse 1, Then stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns.
And on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion.
And by the way, most people attribute these descriptions to different kingdoms.
The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded.
And his deadly wound was healed, and all the world marveled and followed the beast.
So they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?
Now, this beast, obviously many different interpretations of this.
And remember, we are still talking about comet impacts.
We're going to get back to that.
But this beast with the seven heads and ten horns, Remember that the heads and the horns typically describe kings or kingdoms, and so this beast is also supposed to represent one world leader that has all of the kingdoms under the authority of the beast.
Is this the antichrist beasts?
Well, some say perhaps, and others say no way.
I'll leave it up to you, but let us not forget this is in the time that Earth is being impacted by these comets, so more will become clear here.
Verse 5, And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, And he was given authority to continue for 42 months.
Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the book of life, So, this is seemingly describing an Antichrist type of global leader who has managed to deceive the entire world into supporting him.
This may happen in the aftermath of, I think, the first six comet impacts, although sometimes the sequence is confusing to me as well.
But in the desolation, the mass planetary die-off, the mass famine, the war, the fall of nations and the fall of governments, there will be a world leader that rises out of that, that presents himself as the authority, and who then gains a following out of desperation.
And this person will, of course, or this movement may be led by one person, but it will be a movement that will speak out against God and probably say things like, well, God destroyed you and we will save you.
And from that platform, this figure will gain power over the earth.
Verse 9, if anyone has an ear, let him hear.
He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity.
He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
And now here comes the mark of the beast.
Verse 11, then I saw another beast coming out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.
He performs great signs so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
So this is apparently a very powerful demonic entity.
That is able to convince a lot of people that he has authority and he's telling everybody to worship the first beast, which may be the Antichrist.
He deceives those who dwell on earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast.
That the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
So this seems to speak of some kind of technology.
Now, I always, I seem to find a lot of science fiction tech in many of these stories.
You may or may not agree with me, but when they say that He gave breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and it would kill people who did not believe in the beast.
This seems to me to be like a hologram or like a digital depiction of this beast creature.
Like the Wizard of Oz, like it's projecting images.
And maybe this happens through electronics, through mobile phones, if they even function in this time.
Or maybe giant screens that are erected in whatever's left of the cities.
Or some other digital form.
And to require the entire world to worship this beast, which is actually maybe an AI rendition, may not even be a real person or a real entity, just some kind of artificial intelligence.
And then verse 16, this is also what leads me to believe this is about technology.
He, referring to this beast from the earth, he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor.
free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the number of his name.
Verse 18, here is wisdom.
Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, his number is 666.
So when we talk about that no one may buy or sell except who has the mark, How would that even be enforced without technology?
How would you enforce that in an old world pre-tech system?
And today the mark of the beast has become a reality.
Amazon has a device that scans your palm and then lets you check out of Whole Foods owned by Amazon.
So the mark of the beast on your palm already exists.
And there's a device out there, some kind of a global e-commerce device that scans your eyeballs.
You look into it, scans your eyes, which is in essence, scanning, you could say your forehead area.
And then that is tied to your identity that allows you to buy and sell.
So the mark of the beast, which even just a couple of decades ago, it was difficult to think about what could this be today?
We know.
It's a biometric marking system in order to control you and probably to tie you into a CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currency.
And this is designed to control you, to enslave you, and to make sure that you can only buy and sell what you are allowed to buy and sell based on whatever authoritarian government or ruling power is in power at that time.
So now we can see So, next, Revelation 14, and I am reading almost every word in the book of Revelation on purpose, even though some of the passages may not be as relevant to our modern time.
This is one such verse.
It's chapter 14, verse 1.
Then I looked, and behold, a lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000, having his father's name written on their foreheads.
By the way, when it says here Mount Zion, remember what we covered in Ezekiel 38 and 39, Zephah.
Zion is also the name of one of the three most prominent peaks of Mount Hermon.
I wish I knew how to pronounce that one.
But Zion may not refer to the other Zion mountain, which is actually much smaller, it's almost a hill, but rather it may refer to this peak, this Zion peak of Mount Hermon.
Now, when people refer to Mount Zion, which perhaps is what this is referring to, that is, I'm reading online, that is a hill in Jerusalem.
located just outside the walls of the Old City.
The term Mount Zion has been used in the Hebrew Bible first for the city of David and later for the Temple Mount, but its meaning has shifted.
It's now used as the name of ancient Jerusalem's western hill.
Okay, and Zion is sometimes used to mean the entire land of Israel.
So, as with many of these words, it gets confusing, meanings have changed over time, and also things are lost in translation.
So, take your pick.
This either refers to a hill just outside the walls of the Old City, or it refers to perhaps a peak of Mount Hermon, which is located on the Lebanon-Syrian border.
Just north of the Israeli-Lebanon border.
Actually, I think part of that mountain is in Israeli territory.
Although, of course, the territories are always shifting as well.
In any case, here we go.
Verse 2, And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.
Now, anytime they talk about these voices from heaven, especially loud thunderous voices, you may want to think about cosmic events.
You know, things colliding with the atmosphere.
They would be very loud, very booming.
Continuing, and I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.
Well, that's interesting.
They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures and the elders, and no one could learn that song except the 144,000 who were redeemed from the earth.
These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins.
These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and the Lamb, and in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.
So this is, of course, referring to the 144,000, that is, the 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Next, verse 6.
Here we go.
The three angels have something to tell us here.
Verse 6, Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth the sea and springs of water.
I love how the angels always fly across the sky and give warnings.
You know?
Like, hey y'all!
There's more!
It seems like angels are kind of like the Twitter of heaven.
Their job is social media in the sky.
Post messages that everybody is supposed to hear.
And then verse 8, And another angel followed, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fortification.
Yes, Babylon referring to, in this case, an evil city.
Verse 9, then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation.
Understand what's being said here.
The angel is saying, if you receive the mark of the beast, God is going to punish you.
And here's how, continuing, he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb.
And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever.
And they have no rest day or night who worship the beast.
the beast and his image and whoever receives the mark of his name.
In other words, if you take a CBDC mark of the beast upon your forehead or your hand, you're going to hell, is what this is saying, that you will never be welcomed by God.
Verse 12, here is the patience of the saints here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, quote, right, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. - Yeah.
Yes, says the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works follow them.
It's kind of like saying blessed are those who have served God in their lifetimes, even if their lives are now over, because, of course, Earth is being reset.
By the seven trumpets and the seven comets, and it's kind of like, you know, everybody's going to die here, but blessed are those who live their life with the Lord.
At least that's the way I'm interpreting it.
All right.
Verse 14.
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud.
And on the cloud sat one like the son of man, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Now, doesn't this sound like another meteor coming in, by the way?
A golden crown on his head?
Like, wouldn't that be sort of the aura of a comet that has entered the atmosphere and it would be on fire at its top?
Right?
Sat on the clouds?
Yeah?
Verse 15, And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud.
Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
It's like saying the time has come to reap the planet.
The reaping of earth is about to begin.
Verse 16.
So he who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Now doesn't that sound like A comet impact?
It does.
Something is impacting the earth or slicing a giant hole into the earth.
Verse 17, then another angel came out of the temple, which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
In other words, here comes another one.
Verse 18, and another angel came out from the altar who had power over fire.
See, more things on fire entering the earth's atmosphere.
And he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle.
See, more booming voices.
Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.
So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress up to the horse's bridles for 1,600 furlongs.
Now, this winepress event, this is a great crushing.
And I covered this in the previous sermon about Ezekiel 38-39, also reading from the outstanding research book, The Comets of God.
And by the way, there's some really important graphics in this book and, well, or illustrations.
Illustration H in the book describes the 1600 furlongs, which is about 184 miles.
And it starts at the headwaters of the Jordan River.
Which is just at the feet of Mount Hermon, and then it goes down to Lake Hula Basin, the Sea of Galilee, follows down south the Jordan River to the Dead Sea,
So the Dead Sea, there is no out from the Dead Sea, but there's another inlet, which is Brook Zered, that flows to the Northwest into the Dead Sea, at least if I'm reading this correctly.
And the idea is that there is so much destruction from this cosmic impact that there is, well, the wine press,
And the juice that comes out of the wine press is referring to the stirring up of particulate matter that then pollutes the waterways all the way along the 1600 furlongs, all the way from the base of the mountain Hermon, all the way to Brook Zared.
And when they say that it's up to the horse's bridles, we're talking like What, six feet deep of, in essence, churning, brackish, polluted waters that are flowing for these, again, 1600 furlongs.
So that's a very specific measurement where we can find geological examples of that, as I just mentioned, in the Middle East today.
Now, what else I find interesting is that In this passage, in this chapter, it says the altar is in the heavens and the angels are coming out of the altar, and one of the angels has power over fire, and he cried a loud cry, you know, and he has a sharp sickle, thrust the sickle into the earth.
And so it's very clear, I mean, a comet that hits the Earth at an angle would rip open a giant canyon, I suppose you could say, right?
That would look like a sickle had taken a shot at Earth.
And that would stir up all of this so-called winepress that would churn up waters and pollute things for 1600 furlongs all the way down to the Dead Sea.
It all makes sense when you think about how comets would have been described in the visions of John because John wasn't an astronomer, so he wasn't going to be using language of modern science.
He would be using metaphors that were familiar to him in his own time.
Now we're going to move on to Revelation chapter 15.
We're going to get into the prelude to the bowls or the vials.
But first let me read for you from the Comets of God, and this is page 361, the seventh trumpet.
Also speaks of comet bombardment and an impact-generated earthquake, since it is associated with great hail or ice blocks that come from the ice of comets breaking up.
Now, by the way, let me remind you that the seven trumpets describe the impacts on Earth of seven comet impacts, but the trumpets are describing the geological implications, whereas the vials or the bowls are describing the repercussions on human society whereas the vials or the bowls are describing the repercussions on human society for those
So seven trumpets, seven vials, describing the same seven things, but just how it's impacting either the Earth or human society.
And then the seven seals are kind of intermixed with some of this.
I covered that previously in a previous sermon.
It's a little bit confusing because seal number four corresponds to trumpet number five.
Seal number five doesn't have a trumpet with it.
Seal number six is trumpet six, and seal number seven is trumpet seven.
And seals 1, 2, and 3 do not correspond to trumpets at all.
So, yes, that's confusing.
We'll try to make more sense of it as we move forward.
Back to the book, The Comets of God, then the seventh trumpet tells of the nations being angry.
This equates to the sixth seal referring to the kings of the earth as a target.
The seventh trumpet explains that the nations were angry because the Lord's wrath is come, that they, the nations, should be judged, because the nations have all turned wicked, right?
The nations of the earth being angry and the Lord's wrath coming equates to the sixth seal telling how the great day of his, the Lamb's, wrath is come, as shown by the sixth seal asking, who shall be able to stand?
Victory is made clear because the seventh trumpet refers to the Lord destroying them which destroy the earth, and says the kingdoms of this world are becoming the kingdoms of the Lord.
That's Revelation chapter 11, which we already covered.
Like the sixth seal and the seventh trumpet, the end of the sixth vial and the start of the seventh vial also tell of nations gathering and a comet bombardment producing a great earthquake.
This earthquake is to be the largest one that mankind has experienced, the largest since mankind has been on the Earth.
This earthquake's magnitude is so great that it is to cause all the cities of the nations to fall, and its intensity moves islands and mountains.
As we learned in Chapter 2, the planet Earth by itself cannot produce an earthquake of this magnitude.
Only a large cosmic body, such as a 100-mile-diameter comet hitting the Earth, could produce this kind of force.
Just like the seventh trumpet, the seventh vial tells of great hail to come from the ice of comets breaking up.
This great hail is to fall upon men, and every icy stone is to weigh about a hundred pounds.
That's some serious hail there, folks.
Each one of those would destroy a vehicle, right?
The seventh vial, like the sixth seal and the seventh trumpet, also tells of God's wrath and the fierceness of His wrath being poured out upon the empire of the Antichrist, which traces its religious and political roots back to the Akkadian Empire of Sargon, which involved a marriage of religion and government, church and state, in the land of Sumer and Akkad that came to be called Babylonia.
This was the empire that built the Tower of Babylon.
What unified this empire was the worship of the Queen of Heaven, which the Bible calls Mystery Babylon.
It is important to recognize that the 6th seal, the 7th trumpet, the 6th and 7th vials, and Ezekiel 38-39 have a number of different prophesied elements in common.
These elements include comet bombardment of the earth, an impact-generated great earthquake, mountains being moved, great hail from comets that fall.
As well, the kings of the earth and the armies of the nations gather together for battle in the mountains of Israel—that would be, you know, southern Lebanon right now, today—and God's wrath and judgment come upon the armies of the nations, resulting in God's victory on a set day.
However, I should point out that from my reading of all of this, God's wrath is not that selective, and Israel is also destroyed along with Israel's enemies.
I mean, this comet impact that seems like this last one, the seventh one, you know, destroys almost everything on earth, it does not spare Israel.
Although there will be a few survivors, almost all human beings are wiped out across every nation, including what we think of as modern-day Israel.
Continuing from the book here, we've just got one more paragraph.
As noted, the authors of most popular prophecy books have not recognized that the seven vials are actually seven witnesses of the same seven impacts described in the seven trumpets.
Instead, it is generally thought that there are 14 separate events, the seven trumpets being followed by the seven vials.
And yes, I've heard many people teach it that way as well.
Many of these same authors also believe that all of the seven seals precede the seven trumpets and the seven vials to give a total of 21 separate disastrous events.
The main problem with this interpretation is that the seven seals tell of war, famine, and death, leading up to the kings of the earth hiding in the mountains as comets and cometary debris fall to the earth and decimate the planet.
Now, if the seven seals destroy most of the world's population and decimate the planet, who and what would be left for the seven trumpets to destroy?
Right?
Who and what would be left for the seven vials to destroy?
The inability to correctly identify the actual cometary cause of the sixth seal and the comet impacts of the events described in the seven trumpets and the seven vials made it difficult for most prophecy book authors to ultimately recognize the obvious connections among the seals, trumpets, and vials given by this author in these pages.
And this author, The Comets of God, this author is Dr. Jeffrey Goodman.
By the way, I tried to go to his websites, and they're no longer functioning.
So I don't know if Dr. Jeffrey Goodman is even still with us.
I'm trying to find out, but currently I do not know.
So let's go back to Scripture here.
Revelation 15, this is the prelude to the judgments of the bowls, which correspond to the seven trumpets.
So, chapter 15, verse 1.
Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.
Every time that Revelation refers to signs in heaven, you need to be thinking comets and comet tails and comet auras and things like that.
And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire.
And those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God, they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty, just and true are your ways, O King of the saints.
And the song goes on.
For all nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments have been manifested.
See?
Because, well, look what's coming in the sky.
Verse 5, After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
And I'm thinking, that might not be the tabernacle.
Something has opened in the sky.
Verse 6, And out of the temple came the seven angels, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, Like, on fire, right?
Bright, shiny, right?
And having their chests girded with golden bands, again, illuminating, so the seven angels may be seven icy comet fragments.
Verse seven, then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
So the temple was filled with smoke.
The sky was filled with smoke because of the impacts.
And the seven golden bowls were full of what?
The wrath of God.
The bowls are about to spill out their wrath upon the people of the earth.
Let's back up and remember the first trumpet.
The first trumpet, you may recall, is believed to be a comet that strikes a forested area and destroys a third of the forests of Earth and burns up all the grasslands across the entire planet.
So, let's see if this starts to make sense.
Revelation chapter 16.
Verse one, then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels.
Now, what would this loud voice be from the temple?
The temple's in the sky.
The temple's full of smoke.
The loud voice is a boom, giant boom from the sky.
And it said to the seven angels, quote, go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.
So, you know, here come the impacts, folks.
Here comes the first bowl.
Verse two.
So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image.
Now let's see if we can track this to the first trumpet, which is back in Revelation chapter 8, verse 7.
This is the trumpet.
The first angel sounded, and hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth.
Describing a comet impact with hail and with fire, and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.
So let's go back to the first bowl.
How would this impact affect humankind?
A, quote, foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image.
So are we talking about burns?
Was there some kind of fireball that spread over much of the world because of this impact, because all the green grass was burned up?
Anybody caught in that blast may have suffered severe burns.
Would that be a, quote, foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image?
Well, I don't know.
Maybe that seems like a stretch, but let's go to the second bowl and see if it starts to make more sense.
The second bowl, Revelation 16, verse 3.
Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died.
So this is clearly describing a comet impact in the oceans.
It became blood, meaning it churned up all the seafloor material and maybe some, you know, magma and who knows how deep it went.
But the ocean is churning and dark like blood as of a dead man and every living creature in the sea died.
So that's the second bowl.
Well, let's go to the second trumpet.
Here it is, verse 8 from Revelation chapter 8.
Then 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 living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
So, well, that almost perfectly matches, except in the seven bowls it says all the living creatures of the sea died.
But in the second trumpet, it says that only one-third of the creatures in the sea died, which is what leads us to believe that that's an impact in the Atlantic Ocean.
So, So, second bowl, second trumpet, perfectly aligned.
It's a common impact in the ocean.
Alright, let's go to the third bowl and compare it to the third trumpet.
The third bowl, verse 4, Revelation 16.
Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of the waters saying, You are righteous, O Lord, the one who is and who was and who is to be, because you have judged these things, for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink, for it is their just due.
And I heard another from the altar saying, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.
So that's the third bowl or vial.
It's a comet impact affecting an area with a lot of rivers and springs of water that are all turned into something toxic, something very much like blood, something with fallout from the comet.
So that's the third bolt.
Let's go back to the third trumpet.
Revelation 8 chapter 10, the third trumpet.
Then 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 water.
The name of the star is Wormwood.
A third of the waters became Wormwood.
Many men died from the water because it was made bitter.
So here we have, again, almost a 100% correlation.
The third bowl speaks of rivers and springs of water.
The third trumpet is the rivers and springs of water.
And, clearly, it describes a star falling from heaven.
It even says that.
A great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch.
I mean, you don't even have to have much of an imagination to see that this is a comet falling out of the sky and falling on the nation of rivers.
And what is the nation of rivers?
As we covered in another sermon, it's the United States.
The United States of America has more rivers than any other nation in the world, by far, by far.
Some states in America, like Alaska, themselves have more rivers than entire nations.
And what the third bull seems to indicate is that America will deserve it, spiritually speaking, that America will have turned so wicked that America being hit by this comet will be In fact, praised by the angels, because here it is in the third bowl.
Let me read it for you again.
And I heard the angel of the waters saying, quote, you are righteous, O Lord.
See, like America is obliterated.
The heavy metals, the poison, the radioactive fallout falls across all the rivers.
And the angels like, you are righteous, O Lord, because you have judged these things.
For they, talking about Americans, they have shed the blood of saints and prophets.
That's because the American government will be at war with the church.
It's already at war with the church.
The angel continues, and you have given them blood to drink, for it is their just due.
You see?
That's how wicked America becomes.
I mean, it's already halfway there.
Look at all the transgenderism, look at all the abortion, look at all the child mutilations, look at the deception, the lying, the war, the death, the suffering, the mRNA injections, the bioweapons.
You know, America is the hub of these activities.
America has become The most wicked nation in the eyes of God and the angels, and thus when America is hit by this comet, the angels are like, yay!
Seriously.
I mean, this isn't my opinion.
I'm reading from the book of Revelation.
The angels are like, that was awesome, God.
Hit him again.
Anyway, let's go to the fourth bowl.
Find out what happens with the fourth bowl and the fourth trumpet.
Is there a correlation?
All right, from Revelation 16, verse 8, Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
Ouch.
And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues.
And by the way, this is not a plague like locusts or pestilence or bacteria.
This is a fireball plague, basically.
Remember that when the Bible uses the word plagues, it could mean war, it could mean fire, it could mean famine, it could mean comets.
Expand your understanding of the word plague, because it can mean a lot of things.
Comma, and they did not repent and give him glory.
So basically, as the fourth bull, which is fire, is being unleashed across earth, the people that are being impacted by this, they're cursing God.
You know, they're dropping F-bombs and God-bombs and just cursing God, how evil God is to do this to them.
But they themselves are the people who murdered their babies, mutilated their children, lied, deceived, you know, worshipped false idols, worshipped the mark of the beast, worshipped the Antichrist, took the mark upon their palms and their foreheads, worshipped, you know, big tech and all the evil things, and now they're blaming God?
For turning them into crispy critters all over the earth with a giant planetary fireball?
Well, that just shows you how evil they are.
So that's the fourth bowl.
Let's look at the fourth trumpet.
What is the fourth trumpet?
Revelation 8, verse 12.
Then the fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened.
A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
And I looked on, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who were about to sound.
So clearly when it says a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon and so on, the sky was darkened, this is clearly another massive impact.
The fourth trumpet does not specifically speak to people being burned, but rather the earth being heavily covered in something in the atmosphere that would block the sun and the moon and the stars and the day itself.
So I'm not going to give that 100% correlation, but there's some correlation there.
In the bowls, men were scorched with great heat, and the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun.
So that is a correlation.
In the fourth bowl, it says the angel poured out his bowl in the sun.
And in the fourth trumpet, it says a third of the sun was struck.
So that's a pretty strong correlation.
We'll give that like a 50% correlation.
All right, now we're going to go to the fifth bowl and the fifth trumpet.
Now the fifth trumpet, you may recall, is the locus and the bottomless pit.
This is an impact that goes very deep through Earth's crust and even opens up this furnace, this great furnace.
What is it?
The bottomless pit and the smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace.
The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
And then the locusts came upon the earth and to them was given the power as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Now, I do want to mention when I read this previously, I always imagine the science fiction version of it.
And I was thinking like, you know, hover tanks with iron men and whatever with missiles.
But there's a simpler explanation is that the locust may refer to just alien bacteria.
Bacteria that are brought to Earth by the comet or unleashed from deep within the Earth by the impact, and that this bacteria fills the sky, fills the air, and then people all over the planet breathe in the bacteria, and that torments them for five months.
So the torment could be the inhalation of bacteria.
It even says, in those days, men will seek death and will not find it.
They will desire to die and death will flee from them.
You know, have you ever been so sick you wish you could die?
That kind of thing.
So let's go to the fifth bowl now in Revelation chapter 16.
Let's see if the fifth bowl lines up with the fifth trumpet and, you know, the locust, the great furnace, the giant smoking pit and all of that.
Here we go.
The fifth bowl.
It's only one paragraph.
Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast.
And his kingdom became full of darkness, and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.
They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
That sounds pretty close to the five months of torment when men wanted to die but they could not die.
And saying that his kingdom became full of darkness, well that seems similar to the smoke arising out of the pit of the Great Furnace.
And it even says, with the fifth trumpet, it says, quote, so the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
So that strongly correlates with his kingdom became full of darkness and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain, which that, the pain, you know, speaks to the torment and possibly bacteria.
So, again, that seems to be pretty strong.
And also, by the way, if you continue reading in Revelation 8, verse 7, details about the fifth trumpet, which I did not fully recognize previously, because it talks about the shape of the locusts, like horses prepared for battle, on their heads were crowns of something like gold, that could be like the coronal aura around a comet.
Their faces were like the faces of men.
That part doesn't make sense.
They had hair like women's hair, so they could have had, you know, streaming lines like a large tail of the comet.
And their teeth were like lion's teeth.
That could be the chunks, the rocky chunks coming out of them.
And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron.
The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, you know, loud, booming sounds.
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails.
Their power was to hurt men for five months.
Alright, now what's interesting to me is if we continue, and we are in Revelation 9, not 8, I may have misspoke earlier.
We're in Revelation chapter 9, but if you go to verse 17, it says, and this is about the sixth trumpet, which we'll get to, it says, and thus I saw the horses in the vision.
Those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow.
And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
Well, in this book, The Comets of God, it explains.
The breastplates are the active comet's coma, as it's called, which is sort of the rocky outer exterior.
In the verse talks about fire, which is the fiery white central condensation in the coma.
It talks about hyacinth blue.
Comas are typically blue, so comets' comas are blue.
And brimstone, well, comet comas also contain brimstone and sulfur.
And the heads, as the heads of lions, which is the fuzzy appearance of an active comet head or coma.
So it would have looked fuzzy or furry, like, like the fur of a lion's head.
And then out of their mouths, which means venting out from a comet's crust.
They issued fire and smoke and brimstone, so that's the gas and dust that escapes from an active comet vent or mouth.
For their power is in their mouth, those are the gas and dust jets that escape through a comet's mouth.
And in their tails, that's the extension of the gas and dust jets extending out from the comet.
For their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt." So that is a long curving tail of the comet that is very, very visible in the sky as these comets are entering Earth's atmosphere.
So actually, even though it all seemed very confusing at first, it lines up with the modern day scientific understanding of the composition of comets.
So let's, let's get into the sixth bowl and the sixth trumpet and see, well, how are they similar?
Because so far we have a pretty good track record here, except for the first bowl and the first trumpet, which, eh, not much of a, not much of a correlation, but the rest of them, pretty strong correlations.
So these are, these are describing the same event from just two different viewpoints.
So the sixth bowl, here we go.
Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates.
Ruh-roh!
And its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
So this seems to be things emerging from an approaching comet as it's entering the atmosphere.
Verse 14, For they are spirits of demons performing signs, you know, crazy things happening in the sky, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole earth to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Behold, I am coming as a thief.
Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.
This is almost like a cosmic joke, this sentence.
It's like, if you can look at the sky and watch this giant comet entering your atmosphere and headed right towards you and not drop your pants, then you're, you're something special.
It's like, people are just going to drop everything.
At least that's one way to interpret it.
Verse 16, and they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew Armageddon, which we'll get to.
So that's the sixth bowl, right?
The great river Euphrates and its water was dried up.
So for review, where is the Great River Euphrates, by the way?
The River Euphrates runs, oh, it's got a massive basin here, a water collection basin.
So it runs from, if I'm reading this correctly, I think it's fed from waters in South Turkey.
It goes all the way through Syria.
It goes all the way through Iraq and it empties into the Persian Gulf.
So it's in the Middle East.
If this river runs dry, something major has happened here.
So let's go to the Sixth Trumpet and see if the Sixth Trumpet has anything to do with the drying up of the Great River Euphrates.
Because if it did, that would be 100% correlation, wouldn't it?
So here we go, the Sixth Trumpet.
This is Revelation 9, verse 13.
And then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet, Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
Oh.
100% correlation, folks.
So the four angels who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.
Is that all?
Yeah, released to kill a third of mankind.
So in other words, the four angels.
And what are the angels in this passage?
What are the angels?
They're comets.
They're being called angels because they come out of the sky, but they're not angelic as you and I would think of them.
They're just being called angels because they come out of the sky and they're really bright.
They're really, really bright, and they're on fire.
They have tails and hair-looking things, and they're spewing things out of their mouths.
They're just four comets.
So, the four angels who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.
So, these impacts kill a third of the planet, even though It dries up the river Euphrates, the impacts obviously unleash a lot of things.
And even says, now the number of the army of the horsemen was 200 million.
I heard the number of them, and I saw the horses in the vision.
Those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow, and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
So in other words, Wow.
The horsemen.
These are not men.
These are not horses.
These are not anything on earth.
The horseman refers to cometary fragments.
200 million cometary fragments collide with earth.
So this is, this is like a God's cluster bomb.
Cluster munitions from the sky.
200 million impacts.
How do we know this?
Well, because what came out of their mouths?
Fire, smoke, and brimstone.
And then verse 18, this is from the sixth trumpet, says, By these three plagues, a third of mankind was killed by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which came out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents having heads, and with them they do harm.
In other words, the impacts of the comets does a lot of harm.
And there was so much fire, so much of a fiery effect of all this massive, you could say, a hailstorm of fragments, 200 million fragments that are on fire, that it boiled away all the water of the river Euphrates. that it boiled away all the water of the river That's how bad this is.
Talk about God's artillery attack.
And it takes out much of the Middle East.
So the Sixth Trumpet—and I need to make notes about this.
I need to summarize all these similarities.
This is hard-hitting stuff.
All right, but Revelation 9, verse 20 says, after this impact, says, But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues—remember, they're not plagues, they're comets—did not repent of the works of their hands.
That they should not worship demons and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk, and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
In other words, even after the sixth comet, the rest of the Earth, the rest of the human beings were like, They're still rejecting God.
They're still worshiping money and greed and power.
They're still having wild sex orgies during the pandemic lockdowns.
The human race remained evil even after six impacts.
Most of them still did not turn to God.
They continued to reject God.
And even remember, after the fifth bowl, it even says in Revelation chapter 16, it even says, where is it?
And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.
See?
Still!
That was the fourth bowl.
And people are still like, ah, we don't like God.
And then the fifth bowl comes and they're like, ah, they still did not repent of their deeds.
That's what it says after the fifth bowl.
And then after the sixth impact, they still did not repent of their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
In other words, they're still having their Hollywood sex parties and everything.
That is whoever's still left alive, I suppose.
All right.
So how are we doing so far?
We've covered six of the seven bowls, which are the first six trumpets, and we have a near 100% correlation, or let's say better than 80% correlation, let's say, that the trumpets correspond to the bowls.
Very clear.
And it's very clear that they're describing impacts.
Comet impacts, and a couple of takeaways from this are, when they talk about angels coming down from heaven, those are comets.
When the angels sound off, when their voices are booming, that's just the sounds of comets entering the atmosphere.
These comets cause intense damage.
One of them hits the sea, that's the second comet.
One of them burns up.
Most of the forests, let's see, the third one hits the United States of America, probably.
Anyway, we've been through it.
Now all we have left is the seventh impact.
The seventh impact appears to be the earth killer.
And we'll cover that in a subsequent sermon.
The seventh bowl and the seventh trumpet are about to sound, and it might be the extinction-level event of Earth.
And why?
Because the human race continued to sin, continued to work against God, continued to worship false idols and function out of greed and pompousness and so on.
So, Because humankind did not turn away from its sin, God will not alter the course of the seventh impact.
And by the way, I believe that God works through the laws of nature.
And we've seen many other cases throughout the Bible where God could control wind.
For example, how did he bring manna to the Israelites as they were making their way after escaping slavery in Egypt?
How did he bring them manna?
Well, he controlled wind.
And there are many other examples where he controls fire, he controls water, he controls the oceans, he even controls the rotation of the earth sometimes.
God can control gravity.
So what that means is that if there are meteors that are on a collision course with earth, God could just nudge them just a little bit out of the way where they miss.
God could do that.
I mean, God created the laws of gravity and the laws of matter.
Spacetime, all of it, so God can kind of bend those rules if He wants to.
If mankind were to embrace God and turn against wickedness and turn against sin, God could, of course, avert the seventh trumpet.
But according to the book of Revelation, He does not.
Because mankind doesn't change its ways, and God essentially hits reset of the entire planet, kills every living thing on the planet with the seventh bowl.
In fact, I'm going to read for you just the seventh bowl, and then we'll compare it in the next sermon with the seventh trumpet again, because it gets complex.
But the seventh bowl.
This is chapter 16, verse 17 from Revelation.
Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air.
Remember how the other bowls are poured out onto the sun, for example, or the ocean?
This is poured into the air.
And a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying, it is done.
Yeah, the earth is done!
That's what they're saying.
Verse 18, And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
See, that's ominous.
Like, no one's ever seen an earthquake like this before.
Verse 19, Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
All the cities were leveled, in other words.
And great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
You know, like God specifically nailed Babylon.
Verse 20, then every island fled away and the mountains were not found.
And by the way, that can only come from a melting of earth's crust.
From within, which means a comet penetrates Earth's crust, a comet unleashes its kinetic energy into the inner core of the Earth, superheats it, it melts all the crust.
It's a reset.
It's a global reset.
Every mountain is flattened.
Every island is gone.
Okay.
This is what the seventh impact does to Earth.
It resets Earth.
No, no human would survive this.
Verse 21, And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent.
Men blasphemed God, once again cursing God, raising their fists to the sky.
Curse you!
Because, well, they're all being wiped out now.
And it says, Because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
Yeah, that's the understatement of the Bible.
The hail was exceedingly great.
So, in case you're wondering, by the way, what is a talent?
How much does a talent weigh?
I looked that up, too.
Apparently, it's either 75 pounds or 100 pounds.
And then, in the New Testament, sometimes it's called 129 pounds.
So, I'm just going to say 100 pounds.
Let's just keep it simple here, okay?
I mean, does it really matter?
It's 100 pounds.
So great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone weighing a hundred pounds.
Can you imagine that?
Just while the crust is superheating beneath your feet, hundred pound hailstones are raining down from above.
There's lightning, great earthquake larger than ever has happened on earth since mankind existed.
And all the mountains are being flattened.
The islands are vanishing.
Every city has collapsed.
And did I mention the ground is superheating beneath your feet where you're like walking on an oven?
Yeah, that's what we're talking about.
So that's the end of human civilization.
It is the seventh trumpet.
That's the end.
The only people who could survive that would have to be either in orbit or on other planets.
So if this happens in our lifetime.
Better get right with God, because it's game over, folks.
At least, you know, in terms of the physical life.
But it kind of makes your choices simpler, in a way.
It's like, oh, okay, well, now we know how this ends, let's focus on the spiritual journey to the next chapter with God, right?
Since we know this planet's being reset, because it's so wicked, it's so evil, God is resetting the entire planet.
Wild, huh?
You think that day is coming?
I think it is.
I think that day is coming.
Don't know when.
Don't know, you know, what year.
Maybe not even in our lifetimes, but could be next month.
If you look up in the sky and you see a comet coming, that might be the first trumpet.
You can survive the first trumpet.
And if you're not in a coastal region, you can survive even the second trumpet.
If you're not in North America, you can probably survive the third trumpet.
Might even be able to make it through the fourth and the fifth.
If you're not in the Middle East, you can probably survive the sixth trumpet.
Notice that none of these seem to be hitting, you know, Australia, New Zealand, South America, places like that, or Japan.
Well, Japan would suffer a lot of tsunamis with the second trumpet.
I guess anything close to the ocean.
But there's still going to be a lot of people living on this planet, including some Israelites, by the way, until the seventh trumpet.
Seventh trumpet is the final trumpet.
Seventh trumpet is the end of humankind.
And probably the end of all mammals, by the way.
Probably the end of every species that you could imagine on this earth.
The only thing that could survive it might be some microbes or some extremophiles.
I don't know.
Or like I said, people in orbit, but even if you could come back from orbit, what would you come back to?
Totally dead planet with no cities, no infrastructure, nothing.
Everything would be super heated, including all the gold that you've buried in your backyard.
Cause I know you're getting ready for the end times.
You buried some gold.
It's going to get all melted when the seventh comet comes, but you won't care.
You won't be worried about your gold when the seventh comet hits.
You'll be worried about your soul.
That's the currency that matters in heaven.
Yes.
So focus on that more and more.
Gold is just to get you through this lifetime.
Investing in your soul gets you through the rest of eternity.
So that's the sermon for today.
And by the way, as I'm teaching this and I'm doing a lot of research, I'm even finding things that are correcting previous sermons.
So if you hear anything today that maybe contradicted something I said a couple of sermons ago, that's because I'm gaining more clarity about this too.
I hope you are as well, but it's becoming more and more clear what's actually going to happen.
I mean, now we know that the angels from the sky are not angels.
Now we know about the color of the, you know, the red, the blue, the yellow, like brimstone and sulfur.
We know about the, what comes out of the pit.
It's probably not Iron Man and hover tanks.
It's probably like crazy alien bacteria.
So, so much for the science fiction scenario.
That was a fun while it lasted, but I don't think that's how it's going to go down.
All right.
Are we clear?
We clear?
Pretty strong correlation between the bowls and the trumpets.
No doubt about that.
And I will continue with more sermons.
We will get back to foods and nutrition as soon as we finish the book of Revelation.
