This podcast explains and interprets the meaning of John the Revelator's statements and images from Revelation 8:10-11 in the Book of Revelation. These verses describe the third trumpet plague that will be unleashed by God after Christ opens the seventh seal. These verses describe a meteorite that burns like a lamp as it enters the earth's atmosphere and then falls on the earth. This will be a worldwide judgment from God that causes the freshwater rivers, streams, and fountains to become bitter like the wormwood plant. Hence, the meteorite is called "wormwood." This meteorite will make one-third of all freshwater systems bitter and deadly to many people that will die as a result of this plague whose purpose is to encourage people to repent and prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This podcast explains and interprets the meaning of John the Revelator's statements and images from Revelation 8:8-9 in the Book of Revelation. These verses describe the second trumpet plague that will be unleashed by God after the Opening of the seventh seal. These verses describe a great and fiery mountain that is cast down from the sky and strikes the ocean. This refers to a worldwide judgment from God in the form of a large meteorite that will have devastating consequences on shipping industries, fishing industries, and economies of the world generally. The slat water seas will turn to blood as a sign or symbol of death as a third of merchant vessels are destroyed and a third of all sea creatures die. The ultimate purpose of this plague is to encourage people to repent and prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This podcast explains and interprets the meaning of John the Revelator's statements and images from Revelation 8:7 in the Book of Revelation. This verse describes the first trumpet plague that will be unleashed by God after the Opening of the seventh seal. This plague is of fire, burning, and hail mingled with blood, will be directed primarily at the earth, trees, and grass. This refers to a worldwide judgment from God upon the land, the effects of which will be limited to one-third of the trees and all grass. This judgment will have devastating consequences on agricultural industries and economies of the world generally. However, the purpose of this plague is to encourage people to repent and prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This podcast is an explanatory overview of the first four trumpet plagues to be poured out on the earth after the opening of the seventh seal in the Book of Revelation, chapter 8. The distinction is shown between these first four plagues from the last three trumpet plagues referred to as the Three Woes. The first four plagues are eschatological judgments that come from God. They are directed primarily at nature, including the earth, trees and grass, as well as the sea, sea-creatures and waters of the earth. These plagues are foreshadowed by the plagues of ancient Egypt. The first four plagues only affect both wicked and righteous people, but only indirectly. These first four plagues have as their primary purpose to inspire the wicked to repent in the face of God's judgments. These plagues all use the fractional number of "one-third" to indicate the limited scope of their effects on the land, sea, and freshwater systems.

This podcast provides an overview of the blood (both literal and symbolic) associated with the plagues of the seventh seal in the Book of Revelation beginning with chapter 8. There are symbolic images of blood, such as a red moon that appears to be as blood, but also literal scenes of blood that describe the destruction of the wicked at the Second Coming. The scenes of bloodshed are often dualistic in their meaning. On the one hand, they represent the judgments of a just God, but also the blood of Christ's atoning sacrifice gives life to those that repent thus depicting the mercy of his offering. This podcast provides an overview of the blood-filled scenes of the seventh seal to serve as a foundation for understanding the specific images of blood described by John the Revelator.

This podcast explains generally the fire and burning that will accompany the plagues of the seventh seal as described in the Book of Revelation, including the intense physical and spiritual heat that will accompany the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The heat will be literal and will cause mountains to flow down like hot wax and valleys to be filled in so that the earth will be relatively flat as it is transfigured from a telestial sphere to a terrestrial sphere. This podcast also discusses how the heat of Christ's glory will cause the continents to rapidly merge into a single landmass, much like the condition of the earth prior to the time of the flood in the days of Noah. Dr. Walt Brown provides a scientific explanation for the division of continents after the flood, and this podcast expands on his explanation to discuss how the heat of the Second Coming will reunite the divided continents. The symbolism of fire and burning is also explained together with a discussion of how the righteous will be able to endure the fire and burning of the seventh seal leading to the millennium.

This podcast is an overview of the Seven Trumpet plagues described by John in Revelation 8 through 19. These trumpet plagues are poured out as the Judgments of God on the earth after the Opening of the Seventh Seal. They are sequential plagues that occur rapidly within months and a few years of each other. The last three trumpet plagues include the Three Woes that bring great tribulation and suffering among the people of the earth, including the seven-year battle of Armageddon. The Third Woe, which corresponds to the seventh trumpet angel, will occur very rapidly and coincides in time with the Second Coming when the Great Whore of false religion is defeated and Modern Babylon falls in a single day.

This podcast describes and interprets the meaning of John's vision of the angel in Revelation 8:5-6, who takes a golden censer and casts down fire on earth in the midst of voices, thundering, lightning, and an earthquake. The imagery comes from the book of Ezekiel and is foreshadowed by the plague in Egypt when Moses cast ashes in the air and they caused boils then they fell to earth. The imagery reflects the judgments of God that will be poured out on the earth after the opening of the seventh seal that lies in our future.

Revelation 8:5: 00:01:19

Revelation 8:6: 00:37:38

This podcast interprets and explains the imagery used by John to describe events in heaven in Revelation 8:3-4. These verses correspond to the half-hour of silence that begins in Revelation 8:1. In this half-hour of symbolically measured time, Jesus Christ will perform his intercessory role as the mediator by offering incense on the golden altar of the heavenly temple. The incense will produce an aromatic smoke that will ascend to God as the prayers of righteous saints. This vision presents the anti-type in heaven of the earthy day of atonement that was celebrated in the tabernacle of Moses and in the temples of Solomon and Herod for hundreds of years.

This podcast explains this symbolism found in Revelation 8:2 that talks about seven angels that were given seven trumpets during the half hour of silence in heaven at the opening of the seventh seal. There is a high likelihood that the seven angels are the seven archangels who stand in the presence of God and receive their trumpets from him to herald in the seven plagues that will follow the half hour of silence.
