The 3 Woes are key to understanding Rev 8-16
Revelation 4:7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. Revelation 8:13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven [midair], saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!" Ezekiel 33:11 "Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord God, 'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. 11/13/2018 David Tye

Zech. 2:10-13 “…behold I am coming …13"Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord; for He is aroused from His holy habitation." Isaiah 26:20-21 Come, my people, enter into your rooms, And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while, Until indignation runs its course. 21For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed, And will no longer cover her slain. [“Isaiah’s Apocalypse” – Isaiah 24-27] 11/13/2018 David Tye

Background on Satan Falling
In the far past the following happened: Ezekiel 28:13-16 "You (King of Tyre – Satan) were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. 14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 "You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. 16 "By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.“ 11/13/2018 David Tye

Cont’d - In the far past the following happened: Isaiah 14:12-15 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 13 "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' 15 "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit. 2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; … Jude 1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. 11/13/2018 David Tye

The current situation: Job 1:6-7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it." Zechariah 3:1-2 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" 11/13/2018 David Tye

The future situation: Revelation 9:1 Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. Revelation 12:7-12 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, 8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him… 12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." 11/13/2018 David Tye

Rev 9: Trumpets 5 & 6, the Beginning of the 3 Woes
9:1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit [abyss] was given to him. 2And he opened the bottomless pit; and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. 3And out of the smoke came forth locusts [demons] upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4And they were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. 6And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them. 11/13/2018 David Tye

Rev. 8:13 And I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!" Ezekiel 33:11 "Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord God, 'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Rev. 1:18 … the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. [Christ has a key chain – death, Hades, & bottomless pit. AUTHORITY!] 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," … The star is Satan. Rev. 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. … 9And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, … This is the second and final casting out of heaven – See notes at top. Rev. 12:10 … for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. 11/13/2018 David Tye

[MacArthur believes this torment is spiritual, not physical, and that all believers are protected – 2 Tim 2:19. Death takes a holiday!] Henry Morris writes, "God allows them to experience a little direct fellowship with their future coinhabitants in the lake of fire." You would think in the midst of this they would cry out for redemption. “Their earth has been devastated. The earth they love, the earth they worship, Mother Nature, the seas are gone, the fresh waters gone, the grass is gone, the trees are gone, the animals are gone, the sky is falling, pollution from the pit of hell blackens everything. Everybody on the face of the earth is in excruciating agony. They're filled with demons. [MacArthur] The bottomless pit (abyss) is the home of demons. Luke 8:31 And they [Legion] were entreating Him not to command them to depart into the abyss. John 3:19 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. Ephes. 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Exodus 10:4 'For if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory. Note that unrepentant men cannot escape this torment! But… We saw locust plagues in Exodus. The 8th plague. 11/13/2018 David Tye

7And the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle. 10And they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five months. 11They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. 12The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things. Joel 2:4-5 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like war horses, so they run. 5With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains, Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle. Rev. 11:7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. Revelation 20:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. Five months – apparently this takes us near the end; and provides time to repent before the end. These “locusts” have a king. Proverbs 30:27 The locusts have no king, Yet all of them go out in ranks;… Apollyon – Greek “destroyer” A fallen angel, chief henchman of Satan. Angel of the abyss: Satan?? Anti-christ?? 11/13/2018 David Tye

13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." 15And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind. Daniel 10:13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Horns – represent strength/power and honor/judgment Note God’s timing was very specific. 4th seal – ¼ killed, ¾ remain 6th trumpet – 1/3 killed, ½ remain 11/13/2018 David Tye

The numbers… 6th seal – 1/4th killed 1/4th +1/4th +1/4th +1/4th
6th trumpet – 1/3rd killed 1/4th +1/4th +1/4th +1/4th Matthew 24:22 “Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short” 11/13/2018 David Tye

16And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 17And this is how I saw in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. [red, black, yellow –the colors of hell] Rev. 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings from the east. Rev. 2:21-22 'And I gave her time to repent; and she does not want to repent of her immorality. 22'Behold, I will cast her upon a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, … Twice myriads of myriads = twice 10,000 of 10,000 11/13/2018 David Tye

18A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads; and with them they do harm. 20And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts. Genesis 6:3 Then the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." Hebrews 10:28-30 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace. “These three plagues mentioned here are literal plagues. The fire is literal, the smoke is literal, and the brimstone is literal.” – McGee At this point, what can God do with “the rest of mankind”? Sorceries – Greek pharmakeia [drugs] 11/13/2018 David Tye

Remember the Primary Focus of Tribulation
Daniel 9:2, 24 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, …24 "Seventy weeks [periods of 7] have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. 11/13/2018 David Tye
