Scholium II – Write the Vision

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
(Habakkuk 2:1-3) KJV

Our generation is on a highway to hell because of popular science (SciPop) and people like Richard Dawkins, Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. These are the Pied Pipers of Hamelin, leading our children to destruction.

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.
