The Death and Resurrection of Our World – Episode 8 God’s Third Warning
Manage episode 462105594 series 3620417
Welcome back! In this episode, we dive into the third warning in the Book of Revelation. Dan and I explore Revelation 9:1-6, where the fifth trumpet sounds, unleashing locusts from the bottomless pit to torment those without the seal of God.
📖 Scripture Reading – Revelation 9:1-6
"Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit."
"Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads."
"And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them."
🔥 Breaking It Down:
- Just as the flood lasted five months in Noah’s time (Genesis 7:24), this plague of torment will last five months.
- Those who do not have the seal of God will suffer intense pain, longing for death but unable to die.
- This is a clear warning: Avoid the mark of the beast and seek God's protection.
🛡 God’s Protection:
Throughout history, God has always set clear distinctions between His people and those outside His covenant. Just as the plagues in Egypt did not harm the Israelites (Exodus 8:22-23), those sealed by God will not be affected by this torment.
🔍 Could these "locusts" be drones or something symbolic?
We explore different interpretations—are these literal creatures, spiritual beings, or advanced war machines? Regardless, the suffering they bring will be unbearable.
💡 Final Takeaway:
- Do not take the mark of the beast.
- Trust that God provides a way of escape for His people.
- Stay grounded in faith and obedience to God’s Word.
