Revelation #28

Well maybe we have recovered from the first two trumpets (but I doubt it) so lets look at the next two:



Revelation 8:10-12



10The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

12The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.



So in verse 10 we see the third angel blow the third trumpet and a massive star falls from the sky. It was blazing like a torch and must break up as it falls into a third of the rivers and springs of water. Verse 11 interestingly tells us this star has a name....Wormwood which means bitter. A third of the waters will become bitter and many people will die because of this water! Wow! Remember how Jesus told us to come to the sweet living water which was Him, well now look at what this bitter water brings....much death.



In verse 12 the fourth angel blows the forth trumpet and we see that a third of the sun, a third of the moon, a third of the stars, are struck so a third of light both day and night are gone! Jesus came as the light of the world but now that light is being taken away for those who rejected Him. What a dark, dark time for mankind. Darkness also brings fear to many folks as it should in this case as judgement is upon them.



Are we getting the picture of what a horrific time this will be? Tell folks about Jesus while there is still time!
