Previous Prophecies Fulfilled
|
This section is dedicated
more so to the previous
trumpets being fulfilled, and in part to the seals fulfilled before them.
With the 5th Trumpet being
proven as being fulfilled in 2003 with
The reader should remember
that the trumpets are described in the context of a vision, and so the wording
is of how John tried to get us to understand what he was seeing within the
limitations of his vocabulary and expectations. We can see this with the Fifth
Trumpet. (see Fifth Trumpet)
So we continue backwards to
previous events in a countdown.
|
IMPORTANT If you have not read the Fifth Trumpet
yet, READ IT BEFORE you continue, for it will set the foundation of
understanding the texts interpretations, and give you an open mind from
preconceptions to interpret prior events with a double hindsight. (Need to Read Fifth
Trumpet First) |
Fourth Trumpet

In 1990, Saddam Hussein the
leader of Iraq, invaded Kuwait
and sought to annex her back to Iraq as Saddam claims it was always Iraq’s. The
result of this was the cry for help from
When
With the Americans as the “contracted”
help, this including their civilian specialists which fight oil well fires,
this meant that NO ONE else could step in to do their work. The result of this
was the oil wells were
allowed to burn for weeks and weeks, producing clouds of smoke and haze,
which covered the areas where the winds blew it.
The air was darkened at
ground level. With breathing problems and seeing problems due to irritations
from this thick oil smoke. At higher levels the light from the heaven’s was
blocked out almost completely, with the middle of the day being like the middle
of the night, but without any stars or moon, and also that the sun became like
an overcast moon. Once could say it was as if covered in sackcloth.
The winds blew these clouds
of smoke northwards to
This is described exactly as
in the vision of John.

The angel flying in
mid-heaven is translated as an eagle in some other translations.
An angel is a heavenly
messenger by definition.
Indeed someone bearing
witness on the AIR WAVES, would seem to fulfil the prophecy. And if indeed they
were voicing their opinion that this prophecy was being fulfilled, just the
fact that they read verse 8:13 out on the air waves would be fulfilling the eagle
messenger flying in mid-heaven, the place between heaven and earth where radio
waves seem to travel.

It seems that there is a
factor about prophecies being fulfilled which has similar sign occur in a way
to get people’s attention. And we can see a forerunner of it happening to later
be repeated in principle, yet differently, kind of like the same note in a
higher octave. So for example a space shuttle blowing up as the forerunner to
radiation fall out from

days prior to this Chernobyl disaster that Space Shuttle Challenger blew up after launch. The
fall out debris of Challenger landed on the waters off the coast of

3 days after my 39th birthday. There are only TWO trumpets which start with a falling star, the 3rd and the 5th, the first onto waters, and the second
onto the land. Space Shuttle Challenger landed on the waters off the coast of

** A major wakeup call came
with the Captain of the Space Shuttle Columbia’s details. His name is Captain
Husband, and he is a Christian, and his daughter prophesied in a TV interview
prior to the launch, by blurting out over the top of him when he got the
re-entry phase, where she yelled out, “then they all blew up”. Signs in the
heavens is predicted for the end times. A Captain of 7 crew inclusive, called
Husband (the Bridegroom) “returning” on the clouds of heaven, is prophecy
reminders of the second coming. As it seems that several times there are
types of fulfilment, which are different, as even octaves of the 7 notes. The

The second World War ended
badly for
To the uninitiated the mushroom
cloud of an Atomic Bomb might appear like a large mountain which is on fire,
even composed of fire.

|
|
The statistics of World War
II as estimations state that around 26% of the merchant shipping vessels were
sunk by enemy vessels of war. Particularly by the German U-Boats (submarines).
Add to this all the warships sunk and you are well up to 33% of all ships.
There were times when survivors
in the water were left to their own devices. And then times when the German’s
now fired machine guns upon all in the water. This might account for a third of
the souls killed. Indeed in those days, the lives of people on board ships and
aircraft were referred to as souls. And losses as the number of souls lost. And
also the waters where they were gunned down being bloody red.
|
Rev 8:8 And the second angel trumpeted. And
as a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. And the third part
of the sea became blood; |
|
Rev 8:9 and the third
part of the creatures having souls died in the sea; and the third part of the
ships was destroyed. |
First Trumpet
|
World War I was supposed to be
the war to end all wars, called in it’s day, the Great War. The main factors in
this were trench warfare. This led to the targets being vulnerable from
straight above them, and the development of many portable mortar devices.
The use of artillery was also
used to soften up the enemy ahead of the troops charging forward from the
trenches. The ideas for use of artillery were used in the hope of eliminating
barbed wire and scattering the enemies from the new ground to be taken. These
shelling activities would last even for hours at a time. The results of this
were of moon crated fields and the complete devastation of the ground being
fought over, as in for the battle of the
Artillery and mortar would
literally blow up as an incoming missile from above, resulting in mud, dirt,
bodies and body parts, blood, all thrown into the air. And this in turn hailing
down up anything it it’s way. The aftermath of forests being blown to bits and
burnt was evident.

If you can find any pictures
of the remains of the Somme town of Albert and others after they were captured,
you will see similar desolation with craters scattered all over the landscape.
Seventh Seal
|
In the timeline this simply
prepares the Trumpets ready to blow.
|
Rev 8:1 And when He opened the seventh seal, a
silence occurred in Heaven, about a half hour. |
|
Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stood
before God, and seven
trumpets were given to them. |
|
Rev 8:3 And another angel
came and stood on the altar, having a golden censer. And many incenses were given
to him, that he should give them with the prayers of all the saints on
the golden altar before the throne. |
|
Rev 8:4 And the smoke of
the incenses went up with the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the
angel before God. |
|
Rev 8:5 And the angel has
taken the censer, and has filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it
into the earth; and sounds and thunders and lightnings and earthquakes
occurred. |
|
Rev 8:6 And the seven angels having the seven
trumpets prepared themselves, that they might trumpet. |
And with this we can point
backwards to the previous events. With the great multitude of gentiles and the

Sixth Seal
|
From the information in the
previous prophecies above, we can get some better ideas on how to interpret the
descriptions written, with some licence for multiple meanings. The modern
prophecies seen fulfilled within the last 100 years and the most recent in 2003
with the 5th Trumpet. The 6th Trumpet has started but is yet to be fully
completed.
So now if we look back from
World War I, a matter of a few decades and we come to something which occurred
world wide which caused tsunami waves and much more. The volcano in
The smoke from it billowed
upwards like clouds and would have given the appearance of rolling outwards
across the sky as if the sky was being rolled up. The blocking out of the sun
and moon, as we saw in the Gulf War I in 1991
The scene was further compounded
by the eruption blow out of lava and molten rock into the air quite some
distance in height and which would have fall to the earth having the appearance
of a group of falling stars. And of course while all this was occurring in
volcanic actions, there were earthquakes shaking the earth. The plates shifting
and making all the islands in the region also move from out of their places.
At the time this occur in
history, the tsunami, along with the sackcloth experience of the sun and the
colour of the moon from the clouds of volcanic ash which was said to have gone
around the whole globe seven times. Many thought it was the end of days, and
truly many did think to hide themselves. Not everyone, but certainly the kings
went to their hide out bunkers, along with their guards. Rumours and fear were
wide spread. The speculations of this ending and these verse of this prophecy
itself, like with the 3rd and 4th Trumpets in the last few decades of the 20th
century, were rumoured among believers.
We should always remember
apostle John was recording a vision and writing as it he thought it best
described. The stars falling like a fig tree shaking by a great wind casting
off its unripened figs. Such was a similarity. This prophecy has already come
to pass, as the ones after it have been proven to have also.

Between the SEALS – FOOD for THOUGHT
|
In the timing of the 6th Seal
at 1883, then how far back do we go for all the rest? The time difference from
the 1st Trumpet to the 5th Trumpet has been from 1914 to 2003 a difference of
89 years, 88 if we count the years between (88 showing up prophetically many
times, even as a messenger from God).
With 1945 being the dropping
of the atomic bombs on Japan, being 30 years after the start of WWI and ending
WWII. From then to
Then we look at the
difference between the 7th Seal when the actually 7 trumpets are given to the 7
angels and they go to prepare themselves for it. That seal was

Previous
Seals Differ in exactness of specific events, so we go back to the First Seal
to see the timings… |

Why delay, this is the very
reason he gave up his life. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
How far back do we go in
history to look for these events? With history repeating itself, and also the
octave type way that some events precede a prophecy, perhaps the most recent
events are the prophecies?
Not that we really need to
know any further back as to what these were, as we do have enough evidence to
know where it is now in the prophecy timeline. We just need to know that they
did occur and give some feasible explanation for them.
For these first 5 seals are
themselves simple prophecies which do repeat.
With wars and persecutions of
other races, with inflation, greed, famine, diseases, and more wars.
We can look back and see the
Spanish Inquisition torturing people, as one of the radical extremes of the
Roman Catholic churches darkest hours. There were many burnt at the stake for
the cause of truth. And many falsely accused in corruption or deceptions.
There is the ignorance of
hygiene and the black plague killing many in
We can look back to major
events with crusades in the name of God, taking peace from the earth.
So now we can go back to the
very start and work our way forward. For now we know that we have been on track
so far back.
Now we come to the four
horsemen of the apocalypse as many would have heard mentioned many times in a
metaphorical way.
First Seal
|
|
Rev 6:1 And I saw when
the Lamb opened one of the
seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures, like a sound of
thunder, saying, Come and see. |
|
Rev 6:2 And I saw, and
behold, a white horse! And the one sitting on it had a bow. And a crown was
given to him, and he went out overcoming, and that he might overcome. |
Many have different ideas of
who this white horse represents. Some say it is Jesus, and some say it
Mohammed. Some say it is the antichrist. However it does not say that this is
war where people are being killed does it? There are other seals for war and
removal of peace.
Indeed I as I write this now
I have had an open mind, and it comes to mind this is indeed Jesus and the
conquering is a bloodless conquering of the kingdom of heaven with spiritual
factors. That is the Gospel of Jesus Christ spread to all nations as Jesus said
it would, and that it would fill the whole earth. That is to go forth and to
conquer and to succeed, that he may overcome. The prophecies have all things
coming to God through Christ. And the visions of Daniel has Jesus filling the
whole earth, and the kingdom given to the saints forever and ever.
For this is so clear here now
that verse 2 has him never failing.
The crown is given to Jesus
for he is the King of kings and Lord or lords.
A crown representative of a
kingdom as seen in Daniel 7:14.
And from Revelation
And when we see what has come
before this in the book of Revelation, and the start here of Chapter 6 verse 1,
we find that the Lamb (Jesus) was the only one which had been found worthy to
open the seals, for he had be slain and rose from the dead. And that in itself
meant that he being the only one worthy for this reason, had in fact made it
possible for it to start to take place. Which would most logically start soon
after everything was ready.
And here it states he was
found worthy and they paid homage and gave him glory and praise, and then he
starts to open it at the start of the next chapter here…
It might be noted that there
is no ending given here as a definite period. And if it is Jesus then from the
moment this seal is opened, this starts to take place and keeps going until complete.
That won’t be complete until ALL things are OVERCOME. As indeed is stated of
Jesus that he does indeed over come all things reunite all things back to his
Heavenly Father.
Second Seal
|
|
Rev 6:3 And when He opened the second seal, I
heard the second living creature saying, Come and see. |
|
Rev 6:4 And another horse
went out, red. And it was given to the one sitting on it to
take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another. And a great
sword was given to him. |
This second red horse is
obviously the start of war, and there is a great sword given to slay men and
for men to slay one another. This could be as close to Jesus time, with it
being the attacks of the Roman Empire on the rebellions ending with the destruction
of the temple in 70AD, and the surrender of Josephus the became the historian
of the era. And swords have been clashing for centuries and even still do in
some places.
From the Romans and before
them, but in regard to this prophecy, after
Also it does make sense that
something significant as the sack of
This seal does not have an
ending to it. As neither does the first seal, they just continue onwards until
it is no longer true. Taking peace from the earth does not need to be
everywhere at once, but just enough to keep it true. Conflict after conflict
has plagued mankind in one part of the world or another. And it will not seem
to end until the first seal is completed, when the whole kingdom belongs to the
Lord, Jesus the Prince of Peace, and he starts his reign with 1000 years of
peace.
Third Seal
|
|
Rev 6:5 And when He opened the third seal, I
heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold,
a black horse, and the one sitting on it having a balance in his hand.
|
|
Rev 6:6 And I heard a
voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of
wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a
denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine. |
This third horse is said to
be about inflation. This usually is by supply and demand causing variations of
the prices with times of drought and famine making things very expensive. Yet
the oil and wine are not harmed? So a drought or famine would also effect oil
and wine crops. However, these are stored for a lot longer and won’t really go
off in a persons lifetime.
Harm is the word used, and it
would mean that the wheat and barely are harmed by the actions of this black
horse. Perhaps it is more of like a black mould which effects grain crops, but
not the olive or grape? Or that most of these wheat and barely crops failed and
none of the oil and wine crops failed?
There can be many reasons
here, certainly harm is coming to wheat and barely. But from which perspective
is it harm? After all it’s about expenses, and to pay more means to harm. It
might be that wheat and barley take on more value, but oil and wine stay the
same price. Perhaps this even comes through to today? As to when it happened?
Any time between the second seal starting, and the start of the fourth seal
whenever ever that will be.
There were times found in the
ice cores taken from places like
Even far across the world in
Fourth Seal
|
|
Rev 6:7 And when He opened the fourth seal, I
heard a voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see. |
|
Rev 6:8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he
that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there
was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with
sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the
earth. |
This fourth horse is death
and Hades is the old name for the god of the underworld in Greek mythology. And
this translation as hell in some versions kind of gives a more grisly
impression. And Hades usually translated in other versions is to mean the grave
and not hell but Sheol another name for the grave.
And now we can look at the
world in the time of the black death, raging across
So here we have a fourth part
of the earth having four death causing agents…
1.
kill with the
sword
2.
kill with famine
3.
kill with death
4.
kill with wild
beasts of the earth
There is no deadline given
for these either. Except to say that one fourth of the earth’s population is
killed by these four.
If we assume that this like
the previous seals, then it does not end but goes on unto the world becomes the
So with the sword we have
wars in various places going on anyway, so would this be more?
In this way, perhaps more
lawlessness, with criminal elements. With executions for crimes.
Then with famine usually from
droughts or pestilence like locusts and rabbits etc, and if left to this
extension to even now on this earth, that not being able to get a job and
become homeless living with their own personal famine.
The Black Death was a major
plague. So this word is more like disease. If someone touched a contaminated
dead body, then the thing what brought death to them would bring death to them.
That is a very contagious plague. Perhaps Death is a good word for it. There
have been several outbreaks of these. But death also can go to other things.
For example, cancer. It is one of the biggest killers, and really it is death
growing within them, taking over them to kill them.
These four would be the main
cause of all premature deaths. Except that there are less places in the world
to be mauled by wild beasts now days. But not so long ago in
However again as a seal which
keeps on going to the end, the killed by wild beasts might be extended to also
mean the wild beast nature within man. And with this I mean to point to our
road toll. This is one the most deadly killers of young people “high” on animal
instincts of puberty and hormones driving them to show off and take more risks
to prove themselves worthy to be with their groups. While this can be a thing
with gangs, it can also just be among fellow friends, and as little as one
other. However it would seem worst when several of them get together and start
to spur them on. Just basic mob and fitting in with the herd is very wild
animal nature taking over the logical prospects of man.
In a way it is like saying
behave like a wild beast, and put a wild beast behind the wheel of a car, and
all sorts of horrible things can occur. For on the end of the scale is road
rage, again with while beast, drawing guns (swords) and so on.
There are the gangs with guns
(swords).
And indeed if this goes to
the end of days, then other prophecies would tack on and be part of the
fulfilment, such as this sword continuing on the wars of the Red Second Horse.
As likewise the Trumpets 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, all are wars again adding to it, like
zooming into the original Red Horse prophecy to specific events.
So in order for it to be
true, this prophecy merely means that one quarter of the world’s popular would
die from these 4 things
Fifth Seal
|
|
Rev 6:9 And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw
under the altar the souls of those having been slain for the Word of God, and
for the witness which they had. |
|
Rev 6:10 And they cried
with a great voice, saying, Until when, holy and true Master, do You not judge
and take vengeance for our blood, from those dwelling on the earth? |
|
|
The fifth seal has the souls
of the saints which were killed because they believed and wouldn’t compromise
to corruption. Or they died in the service of doing the Lord’s work.
As with the previous seals,
they kept going to the end of days. And here we see evidence of this that they
are crying out now, and yet there are more to be killed as they. So this too
has occurred.
So we can see here that they
all fit into place.
With the seals each doing
their part until the end of days.
And with the trumpets each
being a specific major event, as also being part of the seals.
More details of the patterns between them can be seen at
Timeline Table of the prophecies fulfilled and
to come.
With WWI and WWII we see so
many crosses and stars on graves for those who fought thinking they doing the
best thing, keeping close to God in their heart knowing they could die any day.
As with every war, there are few atheists on the battlefield. After all God
requires simply a sincere heart. It is the nations which force their men to
start wars which has causes the slaughter of too many innocents to list. So many
signing up to the noble cause of defending the homeland.
The time is coming when we
will have peace with Jesus as the Prince of Peace when he takes up his rule
with a rod of iron.
This starts the time of 1000
years of peace. We are here on earth. People have beat their swords into
ploughshares and they shall wage war no more is fulfilled.
This will be the First Seal
being fulfilled of when the one on the white horse who has the crown overcomes
all the things to overcome to make the kingdom come into being. That kingdom is
working in each and everyone of us where we learn the ways of the kingdom of
heaven, to sow love and peace and forgiveness. To sow knowledge and have all
come to understand the ways of living a long and healthy life.
The kingdom of heaven is
within us, Jesus said.
We become transformed by the
renewing of our minds, as Paul said.
Then we have the other
prophecies of people regarded as youth at 100 years old, and if they die, it
would be considered a curse.
And it is a time when lion shall
lay down with the lamb and the child shall play by the vipers hole, and none
shall come to harm.
It is a time when all will
learn to know their hearts and know the will of God as Paul said prior by thee
renewing of their minds.
And with this base teaching
perpetuated to their children, all shall know the Lord and no longer will any
one say know the Lord.
For Lord shall right his Laws
on their hearts so each and everyone shall know him, from the greatest to the
least.
These prophecies shall be fulfilled
during the 1000 years.
Meanwhile now we sow peace
and love and kindness and build the kingdom of heaven with our hearts and minds
and plans and deeds. A world where the least human being is the most important
human being, so that all are equal and all is fair, and this is the eventual
physical kingdom of heaven as it was supposed to develop through Adam and Eve,
where all is good.
Jesus said, Blessed are the
Peace Makers for they shall be called the sons of God.
(see Modern Message of Love)
However between now and then
there is much more to be fulfilled and with this comes a warning of the final 7
years (see Final 7 Years), along with the mark of
the beast (see Mark of Beast), and the image of
the beast (see Image of Beast), with the warning
of eternal torment for all which take the mark, or worship the beast, or the
worship the image of the beast.
The Beast is found to have
links to his father, even outdoing him in Daniel 11:24. (see Father & Son Links)
