In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 9; beginning in verse 13 with the 6th trumpet or 2nd woe.
We have covered the 1st woe found within this 5th trumpets, whereas the 2nd woe begins in Chapter 9 verse 13 with the 6th (note man’s number) trumpet and ends in Chapter 11verse 14 AFTER the resurrection of the 2 witnesses.
The 3rd woe perhaps we are to see the answer in Chapter 12 verse12, “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
Keep in mind that we have all ready established the fact this Book Of Revelation IS NOT WRITTEN in chronologically order! Therefore the seals and trumpets may have all ready started!
Once again many teach that Chapters 6 and 7 present the six seals, the 6th carrying on to the end. Then the 7th seal is open at this time, which brings forth the 7 trumpet sounds [8:7-11:14. At the end of the 7th trumpet sound, we see 7 vials [16:1-18:24. The 7th seal thus embraces the period of both Trumpets and Vials and is immediately followed by the coming of Yahshua Messiah. This is what is commonly known as the “7-Year Chronological Order Theory”. This theory states that end time events will happen in the order they appear. “The interpretive approach to understanding Revelation,” it is commonly written, “is to accept the chronological order of the book and its plain sense meaning.”
Based on the study that we have done up to this point, can we conclude that there is a possibility that we are somewhere in the 4th seal and the 5th trumpet sound?
The Sixth, or "second Woe" Trumpet is set forth with more detail than any of the others: no less than thirty-three verses being devoted to its description. Coming from this altar it seems to say that we have here the continuation of the answer to the prayers of 6:10.
13. And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Yahweh = In the earthly Tabernacle and Temple the golden altar is described as standing "before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with thee" (Ex 30:6; 40:3). Here, there is no veil; and the voice comes from "before Yahweh." The allusion is not to the altar of burnt offering, which was covered with brass, but to the altar of incense covered with gold; and therefore here, and elsewhere, it is called "the golden altar", and was a figure of the intercession of Yahshua Messiah; for on this altar incense was offered, which was typical of the prayers of the saints offered by Yahshua, through His mediation
Horns = symbolic for power, strength, rulership
14 Biblically the name, “the River Euphrates,” refers not just to the river, but to the entire region that it nourishes. We read in Genesis chapter two and verse 10 that, “a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.” So from the world’s creation it flowed from the cradle of civilization, the region where the history of man began and, dear friends, the region where it will end.
This is the place where Satan first introduced sin, where rebellion first occurred, where the curse on creation was pronounced, and from the beginning this was a land of defiance against Yahweh. It was the land of Noah. It was the land of Nimrod and his wife Semiramis and the tower of Babel which spawned the counterfeit religious system of the mother and son fertility cult, god, goddess worship that branched out into the entire world
