The Fifth Trumpet/Vial

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

(Revelation 9:1-3) KJV

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

(Revelation 16:10-11) KJV

The fifth trumpet/vial involves an army of horse-sized armor-plated locusts which are probably at least as terrifying as the Xenomorphs in the Alien franchise.

The Fourth Trumpet/Vial

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

(Revelation 8:12) KJV

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

(Revelation 16:8-9) KJV

A lot of people find it hard to reconcile the idea of a loving God with vials of plagues being poured out upon the Earth. It’s similar to the idea that a loving God wouldn’t send people to hell. We understand the confusion, but it’s not confusion on God’s part, it’s our attempt to apply human values to something that we don’t fully understand.

The First Trumpet/Vial

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

(Revelation 8:6-7) KJV

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image.

(Revelation 16:1-2) KJV

In what may be a departure from the norm we’re going to consider that three descriptions of catastrophes coming upon the Earth in the book of Revelation are three versions of the same events.

Straightening the Curves, Flattening the Hills

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

(Isaiah 40:4) KJV

We take a systematic approach to the events which are described as each trumpet is blown, and we see that they are the same events described for the pouring out of each bowl of wrath.

Your Paradigm is Dead. Now What?

And the Lord said:
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
therefore, behold, I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”

(Isaiah 29:13-14) ESV

The popular science paradigm (SciPop) is dead. You can argue and fuss all you like but it’s too late. We’ve shown you that the theoretical construct upon which SciPop rests is constructed with faith.
