We've covered the grass- it's the great tribulation, man is suppose to suffer- famines,droughts, yes DEATH( if it's possible to die at that time).
You don't seem to understand that if all green grass burnt up, worldwide, everything would die. There would be no food chain.
But everything did not die because the great tribulation was a local event, covering a length of land about 1,600 furlongs (Rev 14:20), or about 200 miles. The Greek word for
earth (Strong's 1093) in the "green grass" chapter of Revelation 8 means "
soil; by extension
a region". Some of the many verses that use that same Greek word for local land areas are as follows:
Mt 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land <1093> of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Mt 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land <1093> of Israel.
Mt 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land <1093>.
Mt 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land <1093> of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Mt 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth <1093>.
Mt 14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land <1093> of Gennesaret.
Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth <1093> stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
In the example above of kings of the earth, the only "kings" that were gathered against Christ were the kings, governors and leaders of Judaea. Rome was unconcerned with Christ. That statement actually meant, "the sovereigns of Jerusalem and Judaea gathered together against Christ," which is the way it was fulfilled.
There are over 200 verses in the new testament that contain Strong's 1093, and not once does it mean the entire earth. The words "the land", with no further identity, always meant the land of Israel in the old testament. When it meant any other land, it would identify it, as the land of Syria, land of Egypt, etc..
Guess I also have to point out food reserves and mark of the beast to purchase the limited amount of food and water here as well. Literal grass burning up, decaying, dead, or if you choose literal fire from bombs, sun or whatever else tickles your fancy for literal and not symbolic.
You can imagine all sorts of things from those symbolic statements in the Revelation. But who does God destroy for destroying the earth? (see Rev 11:18.) I mean, if God destroys the earth, and he destroys those who destroy the earth, does God destroy himself?
The rest of your refute is agreeing with the point I had just got done making in post #739. The earth as we know "3rd rock from the sun", will remain, it will get remade as new. It will get destroyed as in not recognizable from the 7vials, seals, trump events.
What happens to the nations and kings: the ones who will need healing on the new earth (Rev 22:2)? Does Jesus simply sweep them up into the air out of harms way, destroy and rebuild the earth, and then replant them back on the earth, as nations and kings? How does that work?
