00:00:09.880 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets. 00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:15.190 Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar, 00:00:16.060 --> 00:00:20.170 and a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers 00:00:20.170 --> 00:00:24.400 of God's people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. 00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:30.220 The smoke of the incense mixed with the prayers of God's holy people 00:00:30.490 --> 00:00:34.390 ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out. 00:00:35.710 --> 00:00:39.760 Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and 00:00:39.765 --> 00:00:45.280 threw it down upon the earth, and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.290 and there was a terrible earthquake. 00:00:49.090 --> 00:00:52.000 Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.590 to blow their mighty blasts. 00:00:55.030 --> 00:01:00.040 The first angel blew his trumpet and hail and fire mixed with blood 00:01:00.250 --> 00:01:01.870 were thrown down on the earth. 00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:05.050 One third of the earth was set on fire. 00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:09.550 One third of the trees were burned and all the green grass was burned. 00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:15.280 Then the second angel blew his trumpet and a great mountain of 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.230 fire was thrown into the sea. 00:01:18.115 --> 00:01:21.025 One third of the water in the sea became blood. 00:01:21.445 --> 00:01:26.485 One third of all things living in the sea died and one third of all 00:01:26.485 --> 00:01:28.435 the ships on the sea were destroyed. 00:01:29.665 --> 00:01:34.465 Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell 00:01:34.470 --> 00:01:36.955 from the sky burning like a torch. 00:01:38.215 --> 00:01:41.965 It fell on one third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 00:01:42.895 --> 00:01:45.385 The name of the star was bitterness. 00:01:46.390 --> 00:01:49.990 It made one third of the water bitter and many people died 00:01:49.990 --> 00:01:51.670 from drinking the bitter water. 00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:58.390 Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet and one third of the sun was struck 00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:03.250 and one third of the moon and one third of the stars, and they became 00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:09.130 dark, and one third of the day was dark, and also one third of the night. 00:02:10.450 --> 00:02:15.790 Then I looked and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air. 00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:21.220 Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of 00:02:21.220 --> 00:02:25.000 what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets. 00:02:26.470 --> 00:02:30.970 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to 00:02:30.970 --> 00:02:35.560 earth from the sky and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.090 When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge 00:02:40.090 --> 00:02:44.470 furnace and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke. 00:02:45.730 --> 00:02:50.920 Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were 00:02:50.925 --> 00:02:53.590 given power to sting like scorpions. 00:02:54.610 --> 00:02:58.570 They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only 00:02:58.570 --> 00:03:01.810 the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 00:03:02.950 --> 00:03:07.510 They were told not to kill them, but to torture them for five months with 00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:10.000 pain, like the pain of a scorpion sting. 00:03:11.050 --> 00:03:14.500 In those days, people will seek death but will not find it. 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.340 They will long to die, but death will flee from them. 00:03:18.690 --> 00:03:22.840 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. 00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:27.970 They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads and their 00:03:27.970 --> 00:03:30.310 faces looked like human faces. 00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:35.320 They had hair, like women's hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion. 00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:40.150 They wore armor made of iron and their wings roared like an army 00:03:40.155 --> 00:03:42.010 of chariots rushing into battle. 00:03:43.030 --> 00:03:46.960 They had tales that stung like scorpions, and for five months they 00:03:46.965 --> 00:03:48.940 had the power to torment people. 00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:53.500 Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit. 00:03:54.130 --> 00:03:57.940 His name in Hebrew is Abam, and in Greek, Aon. 00:03:59.350 --> 00:04:05.890 The destroyer, the first terror is passed, but look, two more terrors are coming. 00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:11.410 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet and I heard a voice speaking from 00:04:11.410 --> 00:04:14.770 the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God. 00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:19.540 And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet release, 00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:23.080 the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River. 00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:29.290 Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and 00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:34.570 month and year were turned loose to kill one third of all the people on Earth. 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.900 I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops, 00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:46.150 and in my vision I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. 00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:51.580 The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. 00:04:53.455 --> 00:04:58.315 The horses had heads like lions and fire and smoke and burning 00:04:58.315 --> 00:05:00.385 sulfur billowed from their mouths. 00:05:01.345 --> 00:05:05.605 One third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues by 00:05:05.605 --> 00:05:09.985 the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses. 00:05:11.035 --> 00:05:15.025 Their power was in their mouths and in their tails for their tails. 00:05:15.025 --> 00:05:18.355 Had heads like snakes with the power to injure people. 00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:23.860 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent 00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:26.020 of their evil deeds and turned to God. 00:05:27.010 --> 00:05:31.630 They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, 00:05:31.635 --> 00:05:36.850 bronze, stone, and wood idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk. 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.380 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft, or their 00:05:41.385 --> 00:05:43.810 sexual immorality or their thefts. 00:05:45.565 --> 00:05:50.605 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven surrounded by a 00:05:50.605 --> 00:05:53.155 cloud with a rainbow over his head. 00:05:54.235 --> 00:06:00.925 His face shone like the sun and his feet were like pillars of fire, and in his hand 00:06:00.925 --> 00:06:02.995 was a small scroll that had been opened. 00:06:04.165 --> 00:06:08.155 He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. 00:06:09.655 --> 00:06:14.245 And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion, and when he 00:06:14.245 --> 00:06:17.215 shouted, the seven thunders answered. 00:06:18.985 --> 00:06:23.785 When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from 00:06:23.785 --> 00:06:29.545 heaven saying, keep secret what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down. 00:06:30.685 --> 00:06:34.555 Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.995 his right hand toward heaven. 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.500 He swore an oath in the name of the one who lives forever and ever, who 00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:45.550 created the heavens and everything in them, the earth and everything in 00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:48.340 it, and the sea and everything in it. 00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:52.840 He said, there will be no more delay. 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.050 When the seventh angel blows his trumpet. 00:06:56.320 --> 00:06:58.900 God's mysterious plan will be fulfilled. 00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:03.820 It will happen just as he announced it to his servants, the prophets. 00:07:04.900 --> 00:07:07.270 Then the voice from Heaven spoke to me again. 00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:12.370 Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is 00:07:12.370 --> 00:07:14.710 standing on the sea and on the land. 00:07:16.630 --> 00:07:20.500 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. 00:07:21.670 --> 00:07:24.280 Yes, take it and eat it. 00:07:24.370 --> 00:07:28.690 He said, it will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it 00:07:28.690 --> 00:07:30.520 will turn sour in your stomach. 00:07:31.390 --> 00:07:35.110 So I took this small scroll from the hand of the angel and I ate it. 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.550 It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it 00:07:39.550 --> 00:07:41.200 turned sour in my stomach. 00:07:42.850 --> 00:07:48.130 Then I was told, you must prophesy again about many people's, 00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:50.590 nations, languages and kings. 00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:57.640 Then I was given a measuring stick and I was told, Go and measure the 00:07:57.640 --> 00:08:02.530 temple of God and the altar and count the number of worshipers, but do not 00:08:02.530 --> 00:08:06.040 measure the outer courtyard for it has been turned over to the nations. 00:08:06.700 --> 00:08:10.750 They will trample the Holy City for 42 months and I will give 00:08:10.750 --> 00:08:15.370 power to my two witnesses and they will be clothed in burlap and will 00:08:15.370 --> 00:08:19.150 prophesy during those 1,260 days. 00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:24.610 These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands that 00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:26.620 stand before the Lord of all the earth. 00:08:27.580 --> 00:08:31.540 If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths 00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:33.190 and consumes their enemies. 00:08:34.090 --> 00:08:36.850 This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die. 00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:41.380 They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall 00:08:41.380 --> 00:08:42.730 for as long as they prophesy. 00:08:43.645 --> 00:08:47.455 And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood and 00:08:47.455 --> 00:08:50.845 to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish. 00:08:52.075 --> 00:08:56.365 When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless 00:08:56.365 --> 00:09:01.525 pit will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them, 00:09:02.695 --> 00:09:06.955 and their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is 00:09:06.955 --> 00:09:12.565 figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, the city where their Lord was crucified. 00:09:13.675 --> 00:09:18.805 And for three and a half days, all people's tribes, languages and 00:09:18.805 --> 00:09:20.725 nations will stare at their bodies. 00:09:21.715 --> 00:09:23.335 No one will be allowed to bury them. 00:09:24.325 --> 00:09:28.735 All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents 00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:32.935 to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them. 00:09:34.075 --> 00:09:40.225 But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them and they stood up. 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.720 Terror struck all who were staring at them. 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.100 Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets come 00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:53.320 up here and they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched. 00:09:54.250 --> 00:09:56.980 At the same time, there was a terrible earthquake that 00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:58.570 destroyed a 10th of the city. 00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:04.060 7,000 people died in that earthquake, and everyone else was terrified and 00:10:04.060 --> 00:10:05.920 gave glory to the God of heaven. 00:10:07.390 --> 00:10:09.400 The second terror is passed. 00:10:10.150 --> 00:10:13.450 But look, the third terror is coming quickly. 00:10:15.130 --> 00:10:18.970 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet and there were 00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:21.160 loud voices shouting in heaven. 00:10:21.910 --> 00:10:26.920 The world has now become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and 00:10:26.925 --> 00:10:29.110 he will reign forever and ever. 00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:34.420 The 24 elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their 00:10:34.420 --> 00:10:40.120 faces to the ground and worshiped him, and they said, We give thanks 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:45.610 to you, Lord God the Almighty, the one who is and who always was. 00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:50.080 For now, you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign. 00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:55.600 The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come. 00:10:56.260 --> 00:11:01.930 It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants, the prophets, as well as 00:11:01.930 --> 00:11:07.090 your holy people, and all who fear your name from the least to the greatest. 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.830 It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth. 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.490 Then in heaven, the temple of God was opened and the ark of 00:11:18.490 --> 00:11:23.890 his covenant could be seen inside the temple, lightning flashed. 00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:29.320 Thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm. 00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:34.600 This concludes today's Immer reading experience. 00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:35.680 Thank you
