Trumps
By Servant of God
(with notes from E.W. Bullinger)
The Trumpet and Vial judgments are continuous once they begin. It is
only the description of them (not the course of them) which is
interrupted, in order to allow of the necessary information being
given which shows the necessity for them.
ECCLESIASTES 1:9 The thing that hath been,
it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall
be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
THE FIRST TRUMP
Seventh Plague.
REVELATION 8:7 The first angel sounded,
and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood,
and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
EXODUS 9:23 And Moses stretched
forth his rod toward heaven: and the lord sent thunder and hail,
and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon
the land of Egypt.
EXODUS 9:24 So there was hail,
and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such
as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a
nation.
EXODUS 9:25 And the hail
smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both
man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake
every tree of the field.
Now this is the 7th plague, now compare this to the Seventh Vial is
like the 7th plague, of hail, & etc.
When we speak of a third, it was a third that followed Satan in the
first earth age, and it usually has to do with that part that can be
deceived.
THE SECOND TRUMP
This is the first Plague.
REVELATION 8:8 And the second angel
sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was
cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea became
blood;
REVELATION 8:9 And the third part of
the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third
part of the ships were destroyed.
We are told of these ships in ISAIAH 2:16 It does not say it was a
mountain, but that it was like one. What John saw was a fiery mass
like a mountain cast into the sea, and turning it into blood.
EXODUS 7:20 And Moses and Aaron did
so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the
waters that were in the river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants;
and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
EXODUS 7:21 And the fish that was in the
river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of
the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of
Egypt.
PSALMS 105 verse 29 He turned their
waters into blood, And slew their fish.
And there again you always have that third, what you have here is the
third of the people are Spiritually dead, that`s where the blood comes
from spiritually speaking. But there will be more then a third
deceived, the minute they start worshiping Satan they are no longer
Christians.
REVELATION 17:15 tells us that the waters
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
THE THIRD TRUMP
REVELATION 8:10 And the third angel
sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,
burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
REVELATION 8:11 And the name of the
star is called Wormwood: and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter Wormwood.
Strong's # 894 apsinthos, wormwood (as a type of bitterness, i.e.
[fig] calamity)
That stars should fall from heaven is a subject of prophecy (6. 13). Revelation
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
This is Satan`s influence on earth, deceiving people spiritually. you
better be prepared for it.
THE FOURTH TRUMP
REVELATION 8:12 And the fourth angel
sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part
of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of
them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third
part of it, and the night likewise.
But this is a prelude of darkness that is caused by the smoke coming
from the abyss, by the releasing of the locust army, and Satan,
spiritually speaking.
ISAIAH 13:10 For the stars of heaven and
the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall
be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light
to shine.
AMOS 8:9 And it shall come to pass
in that day, saith the LORD GOD, that I will cause the sun to
go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the
clear day;
JOEL 2:10 The earth shall quake
before them; the heavens shall tremble; the sun and the moon
shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
THE FIFTH TRUMP The
eighth Plague. Locust Army.
The fifth and sixth Trumpets are the first and second of the three
"Woe" Trumpets. This refers, of course, to Judah and the
Land. What John sees, refers to the earth in general.
This judgment corresponds with the eighth and ninth plagues of Egypt
(Exodus. 10. 5), when Moses threatened that the locusts should
"cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the
earth."
REVELATION 9:1 And the fifth angel
sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth; and to him
was given the key of the bottomless pit.
REVELATION 9:3 And there came out of the
smoke locusts upon the earth; and unto them was given
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
The star (or angel) had fallen from heaven before John saw it.
(Compare Isa. 14. 12. Luke 10. 18).
EXODUS 10:14 And the locusts went up over
all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt; very
grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts
as they, neither after them shall be such.
THE SIXTH TRUMP
The Sixth, or "second Woe" Trumpet is set forth with more
detail than any of the others.
REVELATION 9:13 And the sixth angel
sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden alter
which is before God,
REVELATION 9:14 Saying to the sixth
angel which had the trumpet, “Loose the four angels
which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
JEREMIAH 46:6 Let not the swift flee
away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward
the north by the RIVER EUPHRATES
JEREMIAH 46:10 For this is the day
of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Him
of His adversaries; and the sword shall devour,
and it shall satiate and made drunk with
their blood; for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north
country by the river Euphrates.
These angels are at present "bound." . But before that day a
further division of the Satanic forces is to be let loose upon the
earth. Why "at the river Euphrates" we are not told.
What connection there may be between Babel and the Abyss we do not
know. Seeing that Satan's earlier activities were connected with that
region, there must be some appropriate reason. The Euphrates is
associated with the coming judgments of the great day. See Jer. 46.
4-10
THE SEVENTH TRUMP
The third Woe, which is the result of the sounding of the seventh
Trumpet.
REVELATION 11:15 And the seventh angel
sounded; and there were great voices in heaven,
saying, “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our
LORD, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever,”
The Seventh Trumpet brings us back to Heaven and to the Third Vision
seen there by John. For it is "in heaven" that the Trumpet
is sounded.
The Seventh Trumpet thus embraces the whole of the seven Vials, or
last seven plagues, which make up the "Third Woe."
The Seventh Trumpet, therefore, really reaches from chap. 11. 15 to
18. 24, or even to 20. 5, for it takes in the whole of the remaining
judgments. In chap. 10. 7, the mighty angel declared that "in the
days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall sound, the
secret of God should be finished": i.e., that it will be finished
during the days covered by his sounding (embracing, as we have seen,
the whole of the seven Vials, and bringing us down to 20. 15). The
whole of God's secret purposes, the details of which were known only
to Himself, will be accomplished.
