The Cauldron Boils

The ingredients are all in place. The bitter herb is doing its job. Just few minor adjustments and apply some heat; some trigger, and the cauldron will boil until it begins to spit and spill over and then the trouble and turmoil will be so much harsher.

You ask what am I on about?

We are talking about at what stage of the end game have we reached here. The first, second and third trumpets have blown. On this day - Rosh Hashanah, the start of the blowing of the Shofar. The trumpets are blowing. People are bitter. Raging against those who want to harm the name of the their God. Wormwood.

(Revelation 8) The third trumpet blew. (a long time ago) In the 6thC, Wormwood has fallen, has rooted and has festered. Devised by the one who wanted to be worshipped more than God himself, a third of the world's population is now embittered in its 'sweet taste'. It draws people in and spits them back out, to spread its bitterness throughout the ends of the world. It's mission is to embitter the planet. There are rules and practices. There is the talk of sweetness and light, but underneath , behind the talk is dark and destroying. Many have died in this cause. Have died for being in the way, because the cause doesn't care for the individual, rather for the power;  have died for disobeying the rules; have died to further the cause

Soon the fourth trumpet will blow. It stands to reason that the third of the world affected by the great fallen star will be affected by the fourth trumpet. The darkening of the sun, the moon and the stars. There will be a third less light.
The dark destroying bitter herb of Wormwood will destroy the light of the stars, the sun and the moon in that region too. All other religions (which they represent) will become dumb. Banned. The triumphing Wormwood will cause other religions to scarper, and face destruction. There will be no Christian light of love and reason in those lands. There will be no other sense of religion such as Buddhism or Sikhism or Hinduism in these lands. The light will darken and the bitterness will increase.

The fifth trumpet will blow when the time is ready. The great Satan himself, feeding off the embittered peoples around him will open the great abyss and the smoke from it will darken the sun and the remaining light. The world will not care for religions. They may even be banned. The forces of commerce will govern the way. The wolrd economies are changing. Rich becoming poor. Poor becoming rich. Where before the rich fed off the poor, so they are turning tables. The wealth is almost now governed by those who eat of the bitter herb and they will become richer and more powerful in due time. They think they will govern. Armies will be sent fourth from these lands to devour the other nations. Who will be able to stand up against them?
They will be able to torture the other peoples (but not eradicate them). They will change the other judicial processes and laws to match their own. They will change the way people worship and change the daily calendars. They will cause them to only trade with those who show the right mark. The mark which respects their own and their bitter herb. The "mark of the beast", Revelation 13 v 18 calls it. It's already spread wide and far. You don't need to look hard to find it. But there will be a time when all those who wish to get on in the world will have to carry it.

The Silence

This is an explanation for why I wrote my new story - soon to be out.

Revelation  8:1 ”And when the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.”

Silence in Heaven for half an hour

1 day = 1000 years

½ hour = 21 years

What does silence mean?

Are all the creatures in heaven silent?

Is God himself silent?

• The singing / worship has ceased.
• The praise has stopped.
• There is a collective pause. Selah.
• No creation is being created.
• No answered prayers – “my God why have you forsaken me?”
• No new babies
• No more animals
• No new trees, shrubs, plants
• The earth will become a wilderness in which no intervention from God becomes intervention from man against each other.

There will be a gnashing of teeth from those on the earth. Blaming God for not answering their prayers. Blaming God for their suffering. – Reference to Job.

Wars, pestilence, famine. Everything wasting away.

Man will attempt to create using their own technology: Biochemistry. Labs producing seeds and plants. DNA Cloning. Of man and animals. Sub / super human forms being produced, for food or wars.  The strong will survive. Rich becomes richer, poor will perish. Cannon fodder. The powerful will cull the unpowerful and reduce the earth’s population by 80% at least, in order to survive. World wide nuclear war will ensue. Nuclear winter will follow. Many areas where cities once stood would be void wastes. The climate will change. Changed through irradiated particles rushing through depleting oxygen and other gases. Survivors may even need gas masks to venture outside oxygen filtered climate controlled buildings.

Nuclear war and nuclear winters

Climate affectations. Adverse weather conditions around the planet. No carbon dioxide absorption rates drop. Oxygen depletion.

Strive and drive to space to escape the choking earth.

Silence before the commencement. Like the time waiting for the  five red lights to go out at the start of the formula 1 races. There’s mayhem in the preparation leading up to the start, then The pause before the action reaches full throttle. This is the Selah, before the great crescendo of the trumpets.

The surviving church or Believers will face similar conditions as the early Hebrews faced, in the days of the Exodus, wandering through a hostile, waste land, of famines, lack of fresh water, lack of food, of warring factions ready to ambush, attack and kill.

The church will need another Moses to guide the remnant through the perils of the last days.

The church will need another Joseph, placed into a powerful position in the new world Government, to build up storehouses of foodstuffs and grains to survive the famine and the dearth of new vegetation and meat. New technology enable long term (twenty plus years) storage of foodstocks.

The church will need another Noah, willing to listen and obey in the time before the silence, in order to be prepared for the time of the silence, to create a vessel, whether a building, a city or even a place of worship, for the survival of the believers from around the world.

Mean age of Population will be 20s – 40s. No old people. There would be no one or no resources to care for the elderly, sick or disabled. They will die or be culled.  No babies born. Illnesses may fall away due to lack of natural reproducing parasites, bugs and germs, but no healing skin, so slight injuries may kill. People will be looking after themselves, rather than others. There may be feral gangs of men and animals hunting each other.

The remnant of new believers have survived through the tribulation so far. They just need to get through the next half hour.
