The answer is right there before your eyes.
God has perfect Symmetry. The Seals are the Lambs Wrath, ALL of them are the Lambs Wrath. Then the Vials are the Bowls of God the Fathers Wrath. So whose wrath is the Trumpets?
What do the Two-witness do? They PRAY DOWN PLAGUES upon man-kind. These Prayers are the 144,000, the Two-Witnesses and all the persecuted Saints on earth, even Israel who have accepted the Messiah by this time and are in the Wilderness. These are the odors that fill the censor and is brought to the Alter of God and thus fills his nostrils with their cries and prayers.
Then they are mixed with the FIRE from the Alter and cast back down to earth where the grasses and trees burn up and all manner of plagues befall mankind.
Put it all together and thus is the HOLY SPIRITS WRATH !!
Sorry RT, I read you note a couple of time but it still do not compute. The HOLY SPIRIT'S WRATH? The WRATH of the HOLY SPIRIT?
"Hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,'
"For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand
The seven angels had already been given the seven trumpets, but they we're told to wait. They we're told not to harm the earth or the trees in the previous chapter "until" the servants of our God were sealed.
That word "until" created a delay. That is where we are now. We have been living in the minutes of that delay. From our point of view it just looks like regular times. It looks like peace and safety.
But something must come along, some world event in the news that causes "all" the saints from around the world to pray simultaneously and God casts the censer down. Will someone shoot a missile off or set off a nuke or maybe a weird earthquake. But some unknown condition seems to be concerning the saints in Revelation 8 and causing them to pray in unison. For all I know it could be the sight of Nibiru appearing in the sky as the great red dragon. I do not know.
Because then comes the sudden destruction, a third of the trees and all the green grass. Just like the day that Lot left out from Sodom in Luke 17, fire rains from the sky.
So will it be on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
And I don't think that's talking about the second coming. When the sudden destruction comes in precise measures of "thirds', they will know that the Lord has spoken in His zeal. The Son of Man will be revealed through his actions.
A third of the earth was burned up, and
A third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
A third of the sea became blood.
A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and
A third of the ships were destroyed.
A third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
A third of the waters became wormwood,
A third of the sun was struck, and
A third of the moon, and
A third of the stars, so that
A third of their light might be darkened, and
A third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise
A third of the night.
A third of mankind.
A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you;
A third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and
A third I will scatter to the winds and pursue with drawn sword.
“Then my anger will cease and my wrath against them will subside, and I will be avenged. And when I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I the Lord have spoken in my zeal.
They will know that the Lord has spoken.
They will know that the Son of Man has been revealed.
There are very good arguments for both pre and post trib raptures as far as that goes, I'll live and learn which it is. I only need to be ready either way, which I am. And I ask again, are you ?
