Revelation 8:12 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.
Sun, Moon and Stars
Whether this is God causing this by spoken word or the impact of the meteorites displacing tons of earth, one-third of the heavenly lights go dark. Think about the effect. Within months, the temperature of the earth would drop dramatically. What is left of agriculture would end. Livestock would die. All very much catastrophic to mankind.
Energy grids would fail. Mankind would migrate because of the potential for the polar ice caps to expand and a new ice age begins to form. Maybe this is how the great city of Babylon starts to come into play. People moving to warmer climates to try and survive?
The Twilight Begins
Revelation 8:13 And I looked, 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 are about to sound!” We are now half through the judgements. An angel fly over the horizon and cries out dire warnings and woes. There are three remaining blasts from the three last angels and their trumpets.
Men and women on this earth left reeling start to understand there is no turning back from this point. Thinking of all they have survived, they start to harden their hearts. Repentance flees from their vocabulary. No matter what they will never submit to the will of an almighty God. Satan smiles and prepares for His last stand. Convincing these vestiges of sinners they still have a chance.
Stiff Necked
Exodus 32: And the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff–necked people. Jeremiah 17:23 “But they did not obey nor incline their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear nor receive instruction. Acts 7:51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.
Psalm 75:5 Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck. All this rejection and hard headiness is prophesied. But David has it right. Do not be prideful. Give your heart and soul to Jesus today.
