Ch08-1_The Trumpets That Announce the Seven Plagues (Revelation 8:1-13)

Revelation 8 records the plagues that God will bring to this earth. One of the most critical questions here is whether or not the saints will be included among those who would suffer under these plagues. The Bible tells us that the saints, too, will go through the plagues of the seven trumpets. Of the seven plagues, they will go through all but the last plague. These plagues of the seven trumpets that appear in this chapter are the actual plagues that God will bring to this earth. God tells us that He will punish the world with the plagues that would begin with the angels’ sounding of the seven trumpets. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch08-2_Are the Plagues of the Seven Trumpets Literal?

In Revelation 5 appears a scroll sealed with seven seals, which Jesus took. This meant that Jesus thus was entrusted with all authority and power of God, and that He would lead the world according to God’s plan from then on. Revelation 8 opens with the passage, “When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.” Jesus thus opens the seventh seal of the scroll, and shows us things to come. Chapter 8 begins by telling us that the plagues of the seven trumpets will begin with the prayers of the saints. From verse 6 and on, the chapter then speaks of the plagues of the seven trumpets that will be brought to this world. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch09-1_The Plague from the Bottomless Pit (Revelation 9:1-21)

Verse 1: 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. That God gave the angel the key to the bottomless pit means that He decided to bring a plague as terrible as hell on the mankind. The bottomless pit is also called as the abyss, meaning a place of endless depth. To bring suffering to the Antichrist living on the earth, his followers, and those who stand against the righteous, God will open the bottomless pit. The key to this bottomless pit was given to the fifth angel. This is a terrifying plague that is as horrendous as hell itself. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch09-2_Have Bold Faith in the End Times

The first thing we need to find out is whether or not the saints will go through these plagues of the seven trumpets. This is the first thing that we must hear, know, and believe in. Will the saints find themselves in the middle of the plagues of the seven trumpets? The saints, too, will surely find themselves in the middle of these plagues. A third of the world’s forests will be burnt out, a third of the sea and the rivers will turn into blood, and the sun, the moon, and the stars will be struck and lose a third of their light. Although a third of the nature of the whole world will either turn into blood or lose light, this also means that the other two-thirds would still remain. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch10-1_Do You Know When the Time of Rapture Is? (Revelation 10:1-11)

The highlight of this chapter is found in verse 7: “but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.” Rapture, in other words, will happen at this time. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]
