"Is it not written, says
the Lord, that 'in the days of the voice
of the seventh angel, when he shall begin
to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished?’ (Rev. 10:7). And is not the
seventh angel now preparing to sound his
trumpet? For I say unto you that five of
the angels have already sounded their
initial blasts and the sixth is about to
sound; then shall the seventh follow
shortly, for the time is hastening and the
tempo of events is rapidly growing in
momentum. With reference to those trumpets
which have already begun to sound, why do
I say initial blasts? Because that which
is the beginning or initial blast of each
trumpet sets in motion that which is to
unfold on the world scene as a result of
its sounding. But that which is portrayed
in the scriptures as taking place under
the sounding of each trumpet, does not
find its complete fulfillment until all of
the trumpets have sounded. The sound of
each trumpet initiates events and forces
which carry through the entire end-time
period, so that when the second trumpet
begins to blast, that which was unleashed
under the first trumpet is still in motion
and continuing, and when the third
trumpet begins to blow, that which was
unleashed by the second trumpet continues
its march on the pages of history. Thus it
is with each trumpet, so that by the time
the last or seventh trumpet begins its
blast, all the previous six trumpets are
still sounding and will continue to sound
until a mighty crescendo is reached in the
climax of
all things. Therefore hear my
word: that which is unleashed by the
successive trumpets continues until the
end, and each successive trumpet overlaps
the blowing of the previous trumpet or
trumpets.
Now look to
me, says
the Lord, and I will reveal to
you that which is about to take
place on the earth at the blowing of the
seventh trumpet. For when this comes to
pass, it will cause the final veil to be
removed and all men shall
see clearly that which has been a
mystery
up to that moment in human history. But
I say, how can you fully understand that
which is unveiled under the seventh
trumpet unless you are given an insight
into the events which lead up to
it which
have their inception under the
six
preceding trumpets.
Therefore,
hear my Word as I reveal
to you
the sounding of
the trumpets
in this end-time.
Was not the trumpet used in ancient
times
to sound a warning?
Was it not also
used to call
my people together that
they might receive my instructions and be
ready to move on
in that which I would
show them? (Num. 10:1-9).
Even so
is it now in
the fulfillment
of this
pattern. The
trumpets have been sounding in
this end-time, bringing to pass certain
events on
the world
scene, to signal the warning
that the judgment of
all things is at hand and the
wind-up
of this age is rapidly drawing
near. Coupled
with the unfolding of these
events is the fact that I have
been moving by my Spirit in a special
way to call my
people together that
they might be readied
for the grand climax of all
things. I have
been showing
to
my people that which I desire for
this end-time in a BODY which shall go
forth
in power to reap a great
harvest to
me; a BODY which shall be anointed even
as
Jesus was anointed in His day
to do mighty works. And as this BODY
fulfills its mission,
so will
it be made
ready to cross over into the
promised land to receive the fullness of
that which has been prepared for those
who are called and chosen and faithful.
(Rev. 17:14).
[the first trumpet]
But first hear my word concerning
the trumpets. You
shall turn to the book of Revelation
(chapters 8 & 9) and let me speak to
you concerning that which transpires
under the first six trumpets. You
shall notice, says
the Lord, that the first angel sounds
following the casting of fire on the earth
(8:5-7). Now what does this mean? It means
that man discovered the secret of the atom
and its mighty fire-power under the
blowing of the first trumpet. For it was
both during and after the world conflict
which saw the first explosion of an atomic
bomb, that the events unleashed under the
first trumpet began to unfold. Now listen,
says
the Lord. You
shall notice that a third part of
the trees were burned up under the blowing
of this trumpet (8:7). Again let it be
said that the blowing of a trumpet
unleashes certain forces and brings to
pass certain episodes which continue to
the end. The fact that succeeding trumpets
blow after the events of the first trumpet
begin, does not mean that the first
trumpet is through blowing. Each trumpet
continues to sound to
the end. Therefore that which is unleashed
under the first trumpet is the power of
the atom's destruction, which shall
eventually destroy one-third of the
population of the earth and devastate
completely one-third of the nations on the
face of the earth. And because it is
recorded that fire and hail are mixed with
blood (8:7), it indicates that the fiery
blasts of man shall be mixed with the
blast of the breath of Almighty God as
much water is vaporized by the intense
heat which is created by the atom's
explosion and congealed in the frosty
heights above. Then as it is congealed, it
will descend in the form of hailstones
which will be mixed with the fire of the
exploding atoms and the blood of
multitudes who will be slain.
