What if the events foretold in the Book of Revelation are closer than we think? Join us, along with our insightful guest, Pastor Michael Edds, as we unpack the ominous prophecies and their implications for our world today. Together with my co-host, Pastor Seth Odom, we unravel the terrifying scenes depicted by the first three trumpets: the annihilation of a third of the world's vegetation, a catastrophic meteor crash, and the pollution of crucial water supplies. As we navigate these prophetic warnings, we stress the urgent need for spiritual readiness and reflect on the hope that comes from faith, hoping that these trials may not be ours to endure.
The episode crescendos with a look at the breathtaking final trumpet and bowl judgments. These divine warnings, including pandemics, blood-red seas, scorching solar flares, and a colossal global earthquake, serve as a stark reminder of humanity's obstinance despite divine mercy. Pastor Michael Edds enriches our conversation with his profound insights, urging believers to actively share their faith amidst the approaching tribulations. This critical exploration challenges us to understand and prepare for the realities of Revelation, reminding us that our spiritual journey has profound significance in times of prophetic upheaval.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey, here we are again with the third episode on
the End Time Prophecy and, asalways, my co-host over here,
pastor Seth Odom what's up,family?
And of course, we got guestspeaker, my pastor, pastor
Michael Edds.
How are you, sir?
Doing fine, doing great.
We're excited to jump rightback into where we left off.
Last week we were talking about.
(00:27):
We've already done the firstepisode.
Listen.
If you haven't listened tothese episodes, listen to them
in order.
It'll give you the end timeprophecy, what you can expect,
where we're headed, what's goingon.
So the first three and a halfyears are things are great.
Things are kind of headed inwhat the world would think is
the right direction.
The rapture's already happened,or at least right here at the
(00:47):
three and a half years.
Some think pre, before we evenstart the seven.
Some think mid, right in themiddle of the three and a half
years.
But here we are now.
God has already.
Seven seals have already beenbroken.
We're in the third episode.
If you want to hear about thoseseven seals, go back to the
second episode.
If you want to hear aboutpre-tribulation and things
leading up, go back to the firstepisode.
Right, hope you listen to themall, but we are currently in the
(01:08):
situation where the seven sealshave been broken and now we're
getting into the seven trumpets.
That's right.
So there's the seven trumpets,there's seven bowls, there's a
total of 21 judgments that arehappening.
Um, and we're right in themidst of.
We've already lost a, a ton ofpeople.
We're going to lose a ton more.
We talked about the fourhorsemen, the four horsemen of
the apocalypse.
I mean, this has been rich.
(01:29):
It's been a lot to chew on anddig through.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I hope you guys have enjoyed it.
But you ready to jump into it?
Pastor Ed's is like he is theman with the end time plan.
You know what I'm saying?
He's got it all down got it alldown, he's been studying it a
little while.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, if people only knew what
was coming they'd get close toGod.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, the sad thing about it is people don't want to
know.
Very few want to know, right,right, I'll be honest, I
definitely want to know for thesake of knowledge, but I hope
I'm not here to experience it.
That's right.
Yeah, for sure.
So let's dig through it.
Let's talk about the seventrumpets, I think the first
trumpet.
If you wanted to follow alongin your scripture, you could
read Revelations 8, 8-7.
Really kind of talks about thisfirst trumpet and you want to
(02:13):
dig into it a little bit, Pastor.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
God starts pouring out his judgments.
What was interesting the lastseal judgment, there was deathly
silence.
Right 30 minutes foreboding ofwhat was coming.
When the first trumpet sounds,the angel sounds, there's fire,
falls upon the earth and a thirdof all plant life's destroyed.
(02:40):
A third of the trees, a thirdof the grass, a third of the
wheat fields, a third of theplant life on earth is destroyed
.
That's the first trumpet.
That's in, I believe,revelation, chapter 8.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Now, who is the angel of the Lord?
The angel is taking thetrumpets.
They're angels of God.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
There are seven of them that go out during the
seventh seal.
They go out and then they startblowing their trumpets, one
after the other, announcingGod's judgment upon the earth.
Fourteen judgments are coming,seven in these and seven in the
bowl judgments.
So this one, a third of allplant life is destroyed on earth
(03:23):
.
I don't know about you, that'skind of scary to me.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The whole entire system is going to start coming
down now.
It's going to start coming downthe environment.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
My wife is going to hate that.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, hopefully she won't be here to see it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Less plants to go by.
Lowe's is going to be hurting.
Yeah, she better not be here.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
All right, let's talk about the trumpet.
All right, so trumpet one.
It says hell fire blood.
What's that?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm not sure I know.
When Sodom and Gomorrah weredestroyed, fire and brimstone
fell out of the heavens.
So I would say it's somethingsimilar to that.
Some of you say, well, maybeit's a nuclear war, I don't know
.
But similar to that, some ofyou say, well, maybe it's a
nuclear war, I don't know.
But I believe this is ajudgment coming from.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
God coming out of the heavens.
Yeah, reading Revelation 8, 7,here says the first angel
sounded, and hail and firefollowed, mingled with blood,
and they were thrown to theearth and the third of the trees
were burned up and all greengrass was burned up.
That is wild, yeah, all right,so talk about the second trumpet
.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, the second trumpet.
It's like a great burningmountain, I guess.
A meteor hits the earth, okay,and a third of the ocean is
destroyed.
Third of the ships, a third ofall of the living creatures in
the sea are destroyed.
Can you imagine the tsunamis, ameteor that hits the earth the
(04:48):
size of a mountain and thatwater rushing towards coastlands
?
It will wipe out cities.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So that's the second trumpet.
A third of all of the oceanswill be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And it talks about.
And one, one third of the seabecame blood, right, wow?
Or is this got something to dowith the after the vegetation
struck?
It talks about it mingling withthe blood, but then we here.
We are here the sea becameblood.
That's pretty wild.
The third trumpet.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
The third one.
Another star falls from theheavens and destroys a third of
all drinking water.
You go to get some water todrink and poison comes out, and
this star is called wormwood.
Wormwood is something that'svery bitter and very poisonous,
(05:42):
and it will fall from theheavens and destroy a third of
the drinking water.
So you have the third of theoceans and a third of the
drinking water, and then a thirdof all plant life.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's interesting we talk about wormwood.
I remember there was a, there'sa, not that, this is it.
It just seemed coincidental.
I think there's an asteroid outthere called wormwood, if I'm
not mistaken.
I remember seeing somethingabout it a few years ago,
(06:08):
talking about wormwood likecoming close closeness, as close
proximity to the earth, how farit's going to pass within a
certain amount of time.
I don't remember when it'ssupposed to pass through, but
it's supposed to come into thearea here.
I don't know.
I don't exactly when, but Iremember seeing something about
it well, there's a somethinginteresting.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know the meteor or whatever it is that's
orbiting the moon right now.
So we have two, two moons, andI don't know if that's it or
this comet that's coming through, called the mother of all
dragons.
I don't know.
It comes every 70 years, butsomething is going to hit this
earth and destroy the oceans, athird of the oceans, a third of
(06:41):
the drinking water.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, let's talk about the fourth trumpet.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Okay, the fourth one is a third of the heavens, a
third of the sun will bedarkened, a third of the stars
and a third of the moon, so, anda third of the daytime the
earth will be smitten withdarkness.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
A third, how long do you think apart?
How far apart do you thinkthese trumpets are?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think they follow one right after the other
Because you're talking about thejudgments of God coming the
last three and a half years.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I believe they follow right after one another.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Wow, seems like every time you turn around, if you're
still here Something'shappening, something's happening
.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
No wonder people are going to hide themselves in the
caves of the earth.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I would Like those plagues that happened in the
Exodus.
Yeah, right after one another,the fifth trumpet.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
This is the locust from the bottomless pit.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So there's a star that will fall from heaven.
I don't know if that's.
You know Lucifer's going to bekicked out of the heavenlies in
this last time.
But it said a star will fallfrom the heavens.
Well, you know he's going to bekicked out.
I don't know if he's the one,but he will have the key to the
bottomless pit.
It'll be open and fire andsmoke will come up out of the
(07:59):
earth and creatures they saidthey look like locusts will be
released upon the earth and theywill be given the order to
torment those who've taken themark of the beast wow for five
months and said um, they willsting them like a scorpion
stings.
The pain will be so horrendousthat people can't die.
(08:21):
Death will be taken awaythey'll be tormented, they'll
try to kill.
Stick a gun up to their head,blow their brains out.
They're still living.
That's wild Death will fleefrom them.
They will be tormented for fivemonths.
So I want to tell you people,better think twice about taking
a little ID here on theirforehead.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, and it's already becoming a big thing.
I know there's someorganizations here in the United
States that already have theiremployees already have like an
RF chip in their right hand, orI think it's in their right hand
, where they get access to thebuilding and they can purchase
things in like the store thereat work, and so I've actually
seen that.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Prince Charles and his two sons have an ID
implanted In case they getkidnapped.
They can find them.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I don't know if it's in Sweden or where it is.
One of the European nationsrequire their soldiers to take a
mark, an implant.
Well, you know, they're puttingit in our pets now.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So if your pet gets lost, they'll know who it
belongs to.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
They ain't going to heaven, are they?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
They're not going to go to heaven.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
They ain't going.
All right, let's talk about thenext trumpet.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
The next trumpet.
This is really interesting.
It said the Euphrates Riverwill dry up.
In the last hours, the lastdays.
It's already drying up.
There are four angels, I believe, that are imprisoned there.
That have been imprisoned there, I think, since Lucifer's
rebellion.
They were so evil and wicked.
They were locked up for allthis time somewhere in the river
(09:57):
Euphrates.
They will be released for a day, an hour and a time and they
will destroy a third of mankind,that's maybe 2 billion people.
And they will be accompanied bya 200 million man army, which I
haven't figured that one out.
I don't know if it's theChinese or who it is, but they
(10:18):
will be accompanied, and it evendescribes what they look like.
It kind of reminds me of ahelicopter.
They have wings that whirloverhead, they have the face
that looks like a man and theirtails are stingers and so forth.
I mean this last bowl, but thisone, these angels are hideous.
(10:44):
They've been locked up for aday and an hour and they're
angry and they hate mankind andthey're going to be released and
this 200 million man army willaccompany them and they're going
to destroy a third of mankind.
That's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's a lot of people.
So I wonder so this is going tobe some nation that they're
going to be out making waragainst right.
Yes, that they're going to beout making war against right.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yes, well, it could be a Cuban army, it could be a
demonic army, I don't know, butit said that they will be
released to kill a third ofmankind and be accompanied by a
200-million-man army.
So I'm not sure who that is.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The only nation on earth that I know that could
market or put on uniforms armythat big would be China, but I'm
not sure.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Unless there's like a one world order at that point,
mm-hmm, like United Nations orsomething like that, along the
lines where everybody's cometogether Because it talks about
the horns on the beast right,yep, that those represent the
different nations that will cometogether and this is one will
come out of them which will leadthem right, so it could be
(12:01):
several that have come togetherfor one cause.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Whatever that, could be, or whatever.
That is right, it's got to be.
I think it is a human army thatthey're going to influence.
Of course, you know theAntichrist will be ruling and
reigning.
I don't know if it's an army heputs out or what, but that
shows you how loyal Satan is tohis followers.
First of all, when thosecreatures are released to
(12:27):
torment people, they tormentpeople that have the mark.
Well, you'd think theAntichrist would protect his own
, but he doesn't.
Satan doesn't care a bit aboutthe human race.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
They come but to kill , steal and destroy.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And when this is happening, he doesn't care that
a third of them of mankind'swiped out.
Even of the ones that take themark, he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right, yeah, it's the only reason why he came.
Yeah, it's the only reason whyit came Kill, steal, destroy.
So what about the next trumpet?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
The next trumpet is the kingdom is proclaimed.
I wrote that down.
It said the seventh angelsounded.
There were loud voices inheaven.
They said the kingdoms of thisworld have become the kingdoms
of our Lord and his Christ.
He shall reign forever and ever, and that everybody in heaven,
the 24 elders, the church,everybody falls down and
(13:14):
worships God and says go, do it,you're worthy.
And so there is a greatproclamation at that time with
the seventh trumpet.
So the stage is set for thenext series, which would be the
what?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
is it?
The bowl jumps the seven bowls.
Yeah, okay.
So what happens with the firstbowl?
Now, in this scenario, it saysthe bowls are poured out.
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
The bowls.
Some people call them vials.
There's a great epidemic thattakes place.
This is found in Revelation 16.
People break out in hideoussores, they smell, and it's just
a massive epidemic worldwide.
And you would think that peoplewould repent, wouldn't you?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, you would think .
Speaker 3 (14:08):
So they cursed God and repented, not of their sins.
So it's a worldwide epidemic.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So there's a declaration and then there's a
defilement.
There's a declaration and thenthere's still.
People are just shaking theirfists, pretty much
metaphorically, shaking theirfists at God, and they repented
not.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And even during this time, an angel goes through the
heavens proclaiming the gospeland people still don't repent.
Wow, God is a God of mercy,even to the end, but man makes
his final choice.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, so painful sores the second bowl.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
The second bowl is found in Revelation 16, and
everything in the ocean.
The oceans are turned to blood,100% of them.
Every living thing in the oceanis turned to blood.
And that leads up to the nextbowl, which all drinking water
(15:05):
is turned to blood.
And the comment made by theangel was that the Antichrist
and his followers have shed theblood.
And the comment made by theangel was that they, the
antichrist and his followers,have shed the blood of the
saints and so give them blood todrink wow so all the oceans are
destroyed, all the drinkingwater is destroyed.
Wow, in the fourth bowl uh, thesun becomes so hot it scorches
(15:28):
people to death.
I don't know about you, butwhen I was a kid, we went to
jacksonville, florida, long ago,and I was just a little kid
from the mountains and we'dnever been to the ocean.
I really didn't know anythingabout getting sunburned, but I
got cooked.
I talked can you imaginesomething far, far worse than
that?
People are scorched.
(15:48):
The sun will become so hot.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
And I guess even in their homes.
You've been through theseexcessive heat waves Right?
Can you imagine airconditioners not working and
people will be scorched and die?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Seth wouldn't make it .
Yeah, I would be nope, he gotto have pestilence and just no
ac.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
he done wow, take me home now, father.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Come quickly, lord let's talk about the fifth bowl
um, why don't you take a look inyour book there?
I want you to describe thatfifth bowl to me says darkness
and great pain says darknesswill cover the earth.
Uh, darkness will be poured outupon the Antichrist and his
kingdom and people will behurting.
(16:33):
You talk about sunburned andcooked and the Bible says and
they repented not of their sins,they shook their fists to God
and cursed God.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
The sixth bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Read that to me.
Euphrates dries up To make wayfor the kings of the east.
That's a worldwide army, thatfrom the eastern countries china
, india, pakistan, all thosenations will be making their way
towards the battle ofarmageddon.
And if you look at theEuphrates, it comes down like
(17:08):
this from the north of Israelright into Israel.
Just a path and it'll make wayfor them.
It's already drying up.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And the seventh bowl says a great earthquake with
giant hailstones.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's the worst earthquake in human history.
It will flatten all of thecities of the earth.
The city of Jerusalem will besplit into three parts.
Can you imagine New York City?
An earthquake so powerful itcauses all of the skyscrapers to
fall and collapse.
So the cities of the earth willcollapse, mountains will
(17:47):
collapse, islands will sinkbeneath the sea.
It's the worst earthquake inhuman history and it's worldwide
.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Wow, and at that point two-thirds are gone by the
end of that.
Two-thirds of the populationare gone at the end of that.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh, yeah, by that time, two-thirds.
So the world's population.
Is what?
8 billion?
Okay, mathematician, what'stwo-thirds so the world's
population is what eight billionokay mathematician what's
two-thirds of eight billion?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
two and a half billion?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
two and a half left, probably two and a half billion
left.
You mean, there's dead bodieseverywhere and you try to tell
people about this and they justshake their heads.
They, they don't want to hearit.
You know if, if somebody wouldtell me, mike, you're going to
go out of here and a tractortrailer is going to sideswipe,
you Don't go that way.
I'd be stupid if I didn'tlisten to him.
(18:39):
I'd wait a while and then go.
People don't want to hear it.
Yeah, they say you're gloom anddoom.
No, this is what's coming.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
And a lot of the church folks have no clue what's
coming.
If we knew what was coming andbelieved it, we would be out
there like Noah was trying toget people on the ark trying to
get people saved.
It gives us a passion to winthe lost.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, actually, I talked about that a little bit
Sunday in the message.
I was talking about how, if youread that story and this is
something pretty common, I thinkthat we know but maybe not
everybody who's heard this storybefore but Noah, in the last
days, when Noah and his familygot up on the boat, god's the
one who closed the door.
It wasn't Noah.
Noah didn't close the door tothe ark.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
God closed the door to the ark he, the door to the
ark.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, so there's coming a time when that door is
going to close and they'll belike the five foolish virgins
knocking on the door let us in.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And the lord looks out, says I don't know you right
now, do you think there issignificance to the third, a
third, a third, a third, a thirdof everything?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I believe there is.
I'm not sure what it is, but Ibelieve it is.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Could it be God's mercy by not doing it in one big
swoop, but giving people time.
This is what you've seen.
You still got.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
You're seeing my mercy yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
One of the some good news.
During all of these judgmentsbeing poured out, guess what
we're going to be doing?
I was reading in Revelation 19.
The church is in heaven.
The Lord says I'm going toprepare a banquet for you.
I won't drink of the fruit ofthe vine until you're with me.
There's a wedding going to takeplace.
(20:28):
Revelation 19, 6 says and Iheard, as it were, the voice of
a great multitude as the soundof many waters, as the sound of
mighty thundering, sayingAlleluia for the Lord, god
omnipotent reigns.
Let us be glad and rejoice andgive Him glory, for the marriage
of the Lamb has come and Hiswife has made herself ready and
(20:50):
it was granted to her to bearrayed in fine linen, clean and
bright, for the fine linen isthe righteous acts of the saints
.
The Lord has been working oneach one of us to clean up our
lives, to become more and morelike Jesus.
Every day I ask if there'ssomething in me unlike you, take
(21:11):
it out or show me I'll get ridof it.
We are in a period ofpreparation, getting ready for a
celebration and what peopledon't realize.
Christians don't realize thatwe're the bride of Christ.
We are co-heirs with JesusChrist.
We are co-heirs with JesusChrist.
So when he comes back next week, we can talk about the Battle
(21:33):
of Armageddon and the return ofChrist and the triumph for entry
, but when he's crowned King ofKings and Lord of Lords as his
bride, we're going to be therewith him, we're going to be
crowned and I tell you, peoplehave no clue the glory and the
excitement that the Lord has instore for us, amen.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
No eye seen, no ear heard.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But God is prepared.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Come on those that love him.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think the greatest thrill that I could have is just
to look at him and say thankyou for saving my soul.
Right, we could be in hell, wecould go to hell, but the mercy
of God kept reaching out to usuntil we said yes, yeah, and
(22:22):
that's what God's doing rightnow with people that may be
listening to this.
You say, well, you're trying toscare us.
No, we're trying to warn youbecause god loves you and he
doesn't want you to go throughthese things.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
He wants to spare you from it he wants you to get on
board the boat, so, um, butthat's what I want to do is just
look at him and say thank youyeah, and we live in a time and
day when the prophets would havegiven anything to live in, to
have the, the holy spirit, yeah,to be able to go out and,
minister, do the things thatgod's called us to do, right?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
but he said um, in matthew I think it's 24 um, when
you see the fig tree budding,you know that summer is near.
And he, when you see all thesesigns coming to pass, you know
that the Lord's coming is near,even at the door.
And he said one thing that'sreally interesting.
The fig tree budding was Israelbeing reborn as a nation, which
(23:20):
was in May 1948.
He said this generation, thegeneration that was there or was
born during the time Israel wasreborn as a nation, will not
pass away until all these thingshappen.
I was born in October 1948, andshe was reborn in May 1948.
(23:42):
My generation, people that werealive then we're going to see
his return.
So that's how close it is.
My generation, people that werealive then we're going to see
his return.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
So that's how close it is.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah.

We're not in the last days, we're in the last minutes
of the church age.

Better be ready.
Speaker 3 (23:58):

It's going to be Eden reborn.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, that's going to be great.
Well, hey, let's bless youbefore we send you on your way.
Of course, we like to do thatat the end of every podcast,

Hey, here we are again with the third episode on
the End Time Prophecy and, asalways, my co-host over here,
pastor Seth Odom what's up,family?
And of course, we got guestspeaker, my pastor, pastor
Michael Edds.
How are you, sir?
Doing fine, doing great.
We're excited to jump rightback into where we left off.
Last week we were talking about.
(00:27):
We've already done the firstepisode.
Listen.
If you haven't listened tothese episodes, listen to them
in order.
It'll give you the end timeprophecy, what you can expect,
where we're headed, what's goingon.
So the first three and a halfyears are things are great.
Things are kind of headed inwhat the world would think is
the right direction.
The rapture's already happened,or at least right here at the
(00:47):
three and a half years.
Some think pre, before we evenstart the seven.
Some think mid, right in themiddle of the three and a half
years.
But here we are now.
God has already.
Seven seals have already beenbroken.
We're in the third episode.
If you want to hear about thoseseven seals, go back to the
second episode.
If you want to hear aboutpre-tribulation and things
leading up, go back to the firstepisode.
Right, hope you listen to themall, but we are currently in the
(01:08):
situation where the seven sealshave been broken and now we're
getting into the seven trumpets.
That's right.
So there's the seven trumpets,there's seven bowls, there's a
total of 21 judgments that arehappening.
Um, and we're right in themidst of.
We've already lost a, a ton ofpeople.
We're going to lose a ton more.
We talked about the fourhorsemen, the four horsemen of
the apocalypse.
I mean, this has been rich.
(01:29):
It's been a lot to chew on anddig through.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I hope you guys have enjoyed it.
But you ready to jump into it?
Pastor Ed's is like he is theman with the end time plan.
You know what I'm saying?
He's got it all down got it alldown, he's been studying it a
little while.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, if people only knew what
was coming they'd get close toGod.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, the sad thing about it is people don't want to
know.
Very few want to know, right,right, I'll be honest, I
definitely want to know for thesake of knowledge, but I hope
I'm not here to experience it.
That's right.
Yeah, for sure.
So let's dig through it.
Let's talk about the seventrumpets, I think the first
trumpet.
If you wanted to follow alongin your scripture, you could
read Revelations 8, 8-7.
Really kind of talks about thisfirst trumpet and you want to
(02:13):
dig into it a little bit, Pastor.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
God starts pouring out his judgments.
What was interesting the lastseal judgment, there was deathly
silence.
Right 30 minutes foreboding ofwhat was coming.
When the first trumpet sounds,the angel sounds, there's fire,
falls upon the earth and a thirdof all plant life's destroyed.
(02:40):
A third of the trees, a thirdof the grass, a third of the
wheat fields, a third of theplant life on earth is destroyed
.
That's the first trumpet.
That's in, I believe,revelation, chapter 8.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Now, who is the angel of the Lord?
The angel is taking thetrumpets.
They're angels of God.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
There are seven of them that go out during the
seventh seal.
They go out and then they startblowing their trumpets, one
after the other, announcingGod's judgment upon the earth.
Fourteen judgments are coming,seven in these and seven in the
bowl judgments.
So this one, a third of allplant life is destroyed on earth
(03:23):
.
I don't know about you, that'skind of scary to me.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The whole entire system is going to start coming
down now.
It's going to start coming downthe environment.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
My wife is going to hate that.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, hopefully she won't be here to see it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Less plants to go by.
Lowe's is going to be hurting.
Yeah, she better not be here.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
All right, let's talk about the trumpet.
All right, so trumpet one.
It says hell fire blood.
What's that?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm not sure I know.
When Sodom and Gomorrah weredestroyed, fire and brimstone
fell out of the heavens.
So I would say it's somethingsimilar to that.
Some of you say, well, maybeit's a nuclear war, I don't know
.
But similar to that, some ofyou say, well, maybe it's a
nuclear war, I don't know.
But I believe this is ajudgment coming from.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
God coming out of the heavens.
Yeah, reading Revelation 8, 7,here says the first angel
sounded, and hail and firefollowed, mingled with blood,
and they were thrown to theearth and the third of the trees
were burned up and all greengrass was burned up.
That is wild, yeah, all right,so talk about the second trumpet
.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, the second trumpet.
It's like a great burningmountain, I guess.
A meteor hits the earth, okay,and a third of the ocean is
destroyed.
Third of the ships, a third ofall of the living creatures in
the sea are destroyed.
Can you imagine the tsunamis, ameteor that hits the earth the
(04:48):
size of a mountain and thatwater rushing towards coastlands
?
It will wipe out cities.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So that's the second trumpet.
A third of all of the oceanswill be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And it talks about.
And one, one third of the seabecame blood, right, wow?
Or is this got something to dowith the after the vegetation
struck?
It talks about it mingling withthe blood, but then we here.
We are here the sea becameblood.
That's pretty wild.
The third trumpet.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
The third one.
Another star falls from theheavens and destroys a third of
all drinking water.
You go to get some water todrink and poison comes out, and
this star is called wormwood.
Wormwood is something that'svery bitter and very poisonous,
(05:42):
and it will fall from theheavens and destroy a third of
the drinking water.
So you have the third of theoceans and a third of the
drinking water, and then a thirdof all plant life.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's interesting we talk about wormwood.
I remember there was a, there'sa, not that, this is it.
It just seemed coincidental.
I think there's an asteroid outthere called wormwood, if I'm
not mistaken.
I remember seeing somethingabout it a few years ago,
(06:08):
talking about wormwood likecoming close closeness, as close
proximity to the earth, how farit's going to pass within a
certain amount of time.
I don't remember when it'ssupposed to pass through, but
it's supposed to come into thearea here.
I don't know.
I don't exactly when, but Iremember seeing something about
it well, there's a somethinginteresting.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know the meteor or whatever it is that's
orbiting the moon right now.
So we have two, two moons, andI don't know if that's it or
this comet that's coming through, called the mother of all
dragons.
I don't know.
It comes every 70 years, butsomething is going to hit this
earth and destroy the oceans, athird of the oceans, a third of
(06:41):
the drinking water.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, let's talk about the fourth trumpet.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Okay, the fourth one is a third of the heavens, a
third of the sun will bedarkened, a third of the stars
and a third of the moon, so, anda third of the daytime the
earth will be smitten withdarkness.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
A third, how long do you think apart?
How far apart do you thinkthese trumpets are?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think they follow one right after the other
Because you're talking about thejudgments of God coming the
last three and a half years.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I believe they follow right after one another.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Wow, seems like every time you turn around, if you're
still here Something'shappening, something's happening
.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
No wonder people are going to hide themselves in the
caves of the earth.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I would Like those plagues that happened in the
Exodus.
Yeah, right after one another,the fifth trumpet.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
This is the locust from the bottomless pit.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So there's a star that will fall from heaven.
I don't know if that's.
You know Lucifer's going to bekicked out of the heavenlies in
this last time.
But it said a star will fallfrom the heavens.
Well, you know he's going to bekicked out.
I don't know if he's the one,but he will have the key to the
bottomless pit.
It'll be open and fire andsmoke will come up out of the
(07:59):
earth and creatures they saidthey look like locusts will be
released upon the earth and theywill be given the order to
torment those who've taken themark of the beast wow for five
months and said um, they willsting them like a scorpion
stings.
The pain will be so horrendousthat people can't die.
(08:21):
Death will be taken awaythey'll be tormented, they'll
try to kill.
Stick a gun up to their head,blow their brains out.
They're still living.
That's wild Death will fleefrom them.
They will be tormented for fivemonths.
So I want to tell you people,better think twice about taking
a little ID here on theirforehead.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, and it's already becoming a big thing.
I know there's someorganizations here in the United
States that already have theiremployees already have like an
RF chip in their right hand, orI think it's in their right hand
, where they get access to thebuilding and they can purchase
things in like the store thereat work, and so I've actually
seen that.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Prince Charles and his two sons have an ID
implanted In case they getkidnapped.
They can find them.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I don't know if it's in Sweden or where it is.
One of the European nationsrequire their soldiers to take a
mark, an implant.
Well, you know, they're puttingit in our pets now.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So if your pet gets lost, they'll know who it
belongs to.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
They ain't going to heaven, are they?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
They're not going to go to heaven.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
They ain't going.
All right, let's talk about thenext trumpet.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
The next trumpet.
This is really interesting.
It said the Euphrates Riverwill dry up.
In the last hours, the lastdays.
It's already drying up.
There are four angels, I believe, that are imprisoned there.
That have been imprisoned there, I think, since Lucifer's
rebellion.
They were so evil and wicked.
They were locked up for allthis time somewhere in the river
(09:57):
Euphrates.
They will be released for a day, an hour and a time and they
will destroy a third of mankind,that's maybe 2 billion people.
And they will be accompanied bya 200 million man army, which I
haven't figured that one out.
I don't know if it's theChinese or who it is, but they
(10:18):
will be accompanied, and it evendescribes what they look like.
It kind of reminds me of ahelicopter.
They have wings that whirloverhead, they have the face
that looks like a man and theirtails are stingers and so forth.
I mean this last bowl, but thisone, these angels are hideous.
(10:44):
They've been locked up for aday and an hour and they're
angry and they hate mankind andthey're going to be released and
this 200 million man army willaccompany them and they're going
to destroy a third of mankind.
That's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's a lot of people.
So I wonder so this is going tobe some nation that they're
going to be out making waragainst right.
Yes, that they're going to beout making war against right.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yes, well, it could be a Cuban army, it could be a
demonic army, I don't know, butit said that they will be
released to kill a third ofmankind and be accompanied by a
200-million-man army.
So I'm not sure who that is.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The only nation on earth that I know that could
market or put on uniforms armythat big would be China, but I'm
not sure.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Unless there's like a one world order at that point,
mm-hmm, like United Nations orsomething like that, along the
lines where everybody's cometogether Because it talks about
the horns on the beast right,yep, that those represent the
different nations that will cometogether and this is one will
come out of them which will leadthem right, so it could be
(12:01):
several that have come togetherfor one cause.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Whatever that, could be, or whatever.
That is right, it's got to be.
I think it is a human army thatthey're going to influence.
Of course, you know theAntichrist will be ruling and
reigning.
I don't know if it's an army heputs out or what, but that
shows you how loyal Satan is tohis followers.
First of all, when thosecreatures are released to
(12:27):
torment people, they tormentpeople that have the mark.
Well, you'd think theAntichrist would protect his own
, but he doesn't.
Satan doesn't care a bit aboutthe human race.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
They come but to kill , steal and destroy.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And when this is happening, he doesn't care that
a third of them of mankind'swiped out.
Even of the ones that take themark, he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right, yeah, it's the only reason why he came.
Yeah, it's the only reason whyit came Kill, steal, destroy.
So what about the next trumpet?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
The next trumpet is the kingdom is proclaimed.
I wrote that down.
It said the seventh angelsounded.
There were loud voices inheaven.
They said the kingdoms of thisworld have become the kingdoms
of our Lord and his Christ.
He shall reign forever and ever, and that everybody in heaven,
the 24 elders, the church,everybody falls down and
(13:14):
worships God and says go, do it,you're worthy.
And so there is a greatproclamation at that time with
the seventh trumpet.
So the stage is set for thenext series, which would be the
what?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
is it?
The bowl jumps the seven bowls.
Yeah, okay.
So what happens with the firstbowl?
Now, in this scenario, it saysthe bowls are poured out.
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
The bowls.
Some people call them vials.
There's a great epidemic thattakes place.
This is found in Revelation 16.
People break out in hideoussores, they smell, and it's just
a massive epidemic worldwide.
And you would think that peoplewould repent, wouldn't you?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, you would think .
Speaker 3 (14:08):
So they cursed God and repented, not of their sins.
So it's a worldwide epidemic.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So there's a declaration and then there's a
defilement.
There's a declaration and thenthere's still.
People are just shaking theirfists, pretty much
metaphorically, shaking theirfists at God, and they repented
not.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And even during this time, an angel goes through the
heavens proclaiming the gospeland people still don't repent.
Wow, God is a God of mercy,even to the end, but man makes
his final choice.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, so painful sores the second bowl.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
The second bowl is found in Revelation 16, and
everything in the ocean.
The oceans are turned to blood,100% of them.
Every living thing in the oceanis turned to blood.
And that leads up to the nextbowl, which all drinking water
(15:05):
is turned to blood.
And the comment made by theangel was that the Antichrist
and his followers have shed theblood.
And the comment made by theangel was that they, the
antichrist and his followers,have shed the blood of the
saints and so give them blood todrink wow so all the oceans are
destroyed, all the drinkingwater is destroyed.
Wow, in the fourth bowl uh, thesun becomes so hot it scorches
(15:28):
people to death.
I don't know about you, butwhen I was a kid, we went to
jacksonville, florida, long ago,and I was just a little kid
from the mountains and we'dnever been to the ocean.
I really didn't know anythingabout getting sunburned, but I
got cooked.
I talked can you imaginesomething far, far worse than
that?
People are scorched.
(15:48):
The sun will become so hot.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
And I guess even in their homes.
You've been through theseexcessive heat waves Right?
Can you imagine airconditioners not working and
people will be scorched and die?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Seth wouldn't make it .
Yeah, I would be nope, he gotto have pestilence and just no
ac.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
he done wow, take me home now, father.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Come quickly, lord let's talk about the fifth bowl
um, why don't you take a look inyour book there?
I want you to describe thatfifth bowl to me says darkness
and great pain says darknesswill cover the earth.
Uh, darkness will be poured outupon the Antichrist and his
kingdom and people will behurting.
(16:33):
You talk about sunburned andcooked and the Bible says and
they repented not of their sins,they shook their fists to God
and cursed God.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
The sixth bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Read that to me.
Euphrates dries up To make wayfor the kings of the east.
That's a worldwide army, thatfrom the eastern countries china
, india, pakistan, all thosenations will be making their way
towards the battle ofarmageddon.
And if you look at theEuphrates, it comes down like
(17:08):
this from the north of Israelright into Israel.
Just a path and it'll make wayfor them.
It's already drying up.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And the seventh bowl says a great earthquake with
giant hailstones.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's the worst earthquake in human history.
It will flatten all of thecities of the earth.
The city of Jerusalem will besplit into three parts.
Can you imagine New York City?
An earthquake so powerful itcauses all of the skyscrapers to
fall and collapse.
So the cities of the earth willcollapse, mountains will
(17:47):
collapse, islands will sinkbeneath the sea.
It's the worst earthquake inhuman history and it's worldwide
.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Wow, and at that point two-thirds are gone by the
end of that.
Two-thirds of the populationare gone at the end of that.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh, yeah, by that time, two-thirds.
So the world's population.
Is what?
8 billion?
Okay, mathematician, what'stwo-thirds so the world's
population is what eight billionokay mathematician what's
two-thirds of eight billion?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
two and a half billion?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
two and a half left, probably two and a half billion
left.
You mean, there's dead bodieseverywhere and you try to tell
people about this and they justshake their heads.
They, they don't want to hearit.
You know if, if somebody wouldtell me, mike, you're going to
go out of here and a tractortrailer is going to sideswipe,
you Don't go that way.
I'd be stupid if I didn'tlisten to him.
(18:39):
I'd wait a while and then go.
People don't want to hear it.
Yeah, they say you're gloom anddoom.
No, this is what's coming.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
And a lot of the church folks have no clue what's
coming.
If we knew what was coming andbelieved it, we would be out
there like Noah was trying toget people on the ark trying to
get people saved.
It gives us a passion to winthe lost.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, actually, I talked about that a little bit
Sunday in the message.
I was talking about how, if youread that story and this is
something pretty common, I thinkthat we know but maybe not
everybody who's heard this storybefore but Noah, in the last
days, when Noah and his familygot up on the boat, god's the
one who closed the door.
It wasn't Noah.
Noah didn't close the door tothe ark.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
God closed the door to the ark he, the door to the
ark.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, so there's coming a time when that door is
going to close and they'll belike the five foolish virgins
knocking on the door let us in.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And the lord looks out, says I don't know you right
now, do you think there issignificance to the third, a
third, a third, a third, a thirdof everything?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I believe there is.
I'm not sure what it is, but Ibelieve it is.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Could it be God's mercy by not doing it in one big
swoop, but giving people time.
This is what you've seen.
You still got.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
You're seeing my mercy yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
One of the some good news.
During all of these judgmentsbeing poured out, guess what
we're going to be doing?
I was reading in Revelation 19.
The church is in heaven.
The Lord says I'm going toprepare a banquet for you.
I won't drink of the fruit ofthe vine until you're with me.
There's a wedding going to takeplace.
(20:28):
Revelation 19, 6 says and Iheard, as it were, the voice of
a great multitude as the soundof many waters, as the sound of
mighty thundering, sayingAlleluia for the Lord, god
omnipotent reigns.
Let us be glad and rejoice andgive Him glory, for the marriage
of the Lamb has come and Hiswife has made herself ready and
(20:50):
it was granted to her to bearrayed in fine linen, clean and
bright, for the fine linen isthe righteous acts of the saints
.
The Lord has been working oneach one of us to clean up our
lives, to become more and morelike Jesus.
Every day I ask if there'ssomething in me unlike you, take
(21:11):
it out or show me I'll get ridof it.
We are in a period ofpreparation, getting ready for a
celebration and what peopledon't realize.
Christians don't realize thatwe're the bride of Christ.
We are co-heirs with JesusChrist.
We are co-heirs with JesusChrist.
So when he comes back next week, we can talk about the Battle
(21:33):
of Armageddon and the return ofChrist and the triumph for entry
, but when he's crowned King ofKings and Lord of Lords as his
bride, we're going to be therewith him, we're going to be
crowned and I tell you, peoplehave no clue the glory and the
excitement that the Lord has instore for us, amen.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
No eye seen, no ear heard.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But God is prepared.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Come on those that love him.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think the greatest thrill that I could have is just
to look at him and say thankyou for saving my soul.
Right, we could be in hell, wecould go to hell, but the mercy
of God kept reaching out to usuntil we said yes, yeah, and
(22:22):
that's what God's doing rightnow with people that may be
listening to this.
You say, well, you're trying toscare us.
No, we're trying to warn youbecause god loves you and he
doesn't want you to go throughthese things.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
He wants to spare you from it he wants you to get on
board the boat, so, um, butthat's what I want to do is just
look at him and say thank youyeah, and we live in a time and
day when the prophets would havegiven anything to live in, to
have the, the holy spirit, yeah,to be able to go out and,
minister, do the things thatgod's called us to do, right?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
but he said um, in matthew I think it's 24 um, when
you see the fig tree budding,you know that summer is near.
And he, when you see all thesesigns coming to pass, you know
that the Lord's coming is near,even at the door.
And he said one thing that'sreally interesting.
The fig tree budding was Israelbeing reborn as a nation, which
(23:20):
