David, I don't get why you think that. The 7th trumpet announces the third woe to the inhabiters of the earth - which is Satan cast down to earth having only a time, times, half time left.I still don't get your logic though. No matter how you look at it, the events recorded in the 5th trumpet have to precede the events recorded in the 7th trumpet
David, try this. Draw a straight line with Day 1 at the start and Day 2520 at the end. To look like this.
Day 1____________________________*_________________**__________Day 2520
Where on that timeline, would you put Satan being cast down to have a time, times, half time left? I say somewhere in the middle (I show it with one asterisks *).
Do the events of the 5th trumpet, the opening of the bottomless pit, come after the middle?
In my view, I show when Satan opens the bottomless pit with two asterisks ** and the event of the flesh tormenting locust taking place somewhere around then.
David, I don't see that much interval (ten years in your example) between when Satan is cast down and him opening the bottomless pit to release the flesh tormenting locust.Let's say, for example, the events recorded during the 5th trumpet occur during 2000 AD. And let's also say the events recorded in the 7th trumpet occur during 2010 AD. If, when satan actually falls to the earth is during the 7th trumpet, during 2010 AD in this case, and that he only falls to the earth like this just one time, how then could he have already fallen to the earth 10 years earlier?
Satan will only have a time, times, half times left to operate, approximately 3 1/2 years, once he is cast down to earth.
