1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Thank God, IF IF IF IF IF we confess our sins.....This is the man side.

Says you, a natural man.

1 Corinthians 2:13-14 KJV
[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

This does NOT apply to the Prophetic Word. 2 Peter 1:19-20 says we should study the prophets, they were messengers of God.
Sometimes they spoke in metaphors and allegories, but usually they can be discerned and all understood as literal things, that must happen sooner or later.

The prophesies cannot be spiritualized, as that simply makes them meaningless.

Sure...let us know what will the best sunscreen to use to protect from your literal interpretation of Revelation 16:-8-9 as "CME sunstrike."

Anyway, here is my spiritual understanding of the passage, if you have spiritual discernment to understand it.

The messenger pouring out his vial upon the sun is an illustration of judgment upon the church so that the people therein are judged. The same illustration in Matthew 24 of the sun becoming blood and the moon not giving her light, it's signifying the end of the church, as God judges her for her degradations. It is because she is being judged that these people in her blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues on her (spiritually Babylon) so that they would not repent to give God's glory. They have usurped authority from God wherein they trust in themselves, they rule themselves as their own god, to do whatever s right in their own eyes. This is Satan loosed to damn those who are snared in self-justification wherein they simply would not receive the truth of God's word.

2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12

• "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
• And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
• And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
• That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

This is the same principle, which is God's loosing of Satan that His judgment of these plagues upon Babylon is poured out on the unfaithful church that she will never rise again. Revelation 16 speaks of them being scorched with heat from the Sun to signify this is God's judgment and they are overcome of the evil one that "He" has sent. Those faithful who see these abominations and come out of the church in time are those who endured great tribulation and trial to receive eternal life. As is pictured in James chapter 1.

James 1:11-12

• " For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
• Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."

The withered grass from the heat of the sun are those who are under God's judgment. But blessed are those that endure trial/temptation because these are those truly in Christ who the heat cannot harm.

Isaiah 49:10

• "They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them."

Which is why God says, come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (Revelation 18:4). The same plagues God says He has power over when He scorched these men with great heat. There are a consistent theme and scenario that runs through this whole episode all throughout scripture.

You can't see this way? Yet you still prefer something more exciting like a physical heat from the Sun as literal fulfillment with your so-called CME sunsrike? Well, the Lord Judges, and I am comfortable with that!

I prefer to believe in literal fulfillments where that is possible.
It IS possible for the sun to emit a blast that will literally fulfil all the graphic prophesies about the Great and terrible Day of the Lord's fiery wrath.
Do not conflate the Lords Day of wrath, the Sixth Seal, with the Fourth Bowl; they are different events.
You quote James 1:12. What is it that will test everybody? 1 Peter 4:12 informs us.

That is your prerogative because it is YOUR interpretation. Not God's according to Scripture as I understand it.

Good night!

AMEN to that!
