The end of Revelation chapter 8 makes this proclamation! From the first trumpet blast which destroyed much of the trees and all of the grass, to the next trumpet which released the great mountain into the ocean we shall find the world gripped by devastation and ruin, and mankind struggling under the heavy hand of judgment. Not to mention the third trumpet's blast and the poisoning of the fresh water systems that man won't have clean water to be able to drink over a third of the earth. Today we discover the heavens being struck with darkness. For a third of the time the earth will be gripped by total darkness, never to see sunlight nor the light of the moon or stars. Then man will be swallowed by the sun and shall not have night nor the pleasure of moon or stars! This isn't even close to being the worst of things yet though. As we discover in verse 13 today, all we have just considered is but a drop in the bucket to the torrents of wrath that are about to be poured out upon mankind by the next 2 angels, so buckle up and enjoy this day with Pastor J!!!
