the star that shown when Jesus was being born was so bright that you could see it during the day time. some saint said that.
the coming is going on all the time. what i think most people call the "coming" is what I call the "transformation of this age" and it is going to be very very very obvious.
the sores are sores on the soul. souls are already cold, the word soul in greek is made from a word that speaks about cold. so they are both cold and have sores now. ouch that is not good! no wonder why they can often imagine blasphemies against God. if they would repent they would not have errors. the pains must be the pains of their spirits? dunno what else it could be. pains is first because spirit is before soul? or is this pain the thing that is killing their soul? yeah maybe it is a struggle and a fight over those people. they will die in time!
wow now
Rev 16:10-11 (ESV)
The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.
and
Rev 9:1-6 (ESV)
And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
seem like the same thing, that angel of the abyss has got to be a good angel! there is an angel over the abyss... ofc the angels name is given as destroyer. but the only ones that need to be destroyed are the ones not already crucified with Christ imo, this destruction is a spiritual destruction of every thing that exalts itself above God imo.
1 enoch 20:1-2
And these are the names of the holy angels who watch.
2Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is over the world and over Tartarus.
those special angels are said to be the ones who finish the church, in the book of hermas. but that is only the 5th
vision book 1
Chap. IV.
In reply I said to her [vision of the church] , “This is magnificent and marvellous. But who are the six young men who are engaged in building?” And she said, “These are the holy angels of God, who were first created, and to whom the Lord handed over His whole creation, that they might increase and build up and rule over the whole creation. By these will the building of the tower be finished.” “But who are the other persons who are engaged in carrying the stones?” These also are holy angels of the Lord, but the former six are more excellent than these. The building of the tower will be finished, and all will rejoice together around the tower, and they will glorify God, because the tower is finished.”
here we see a progression of things but it is not yet done.
Rev 6:9-11 (ESV)
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
