Death has been on my mind a lot lately. Some of it stems from me being more aware of my own mortality the older I've gotten. But also, my elderly parents are both in their 80s and don't have many years left. It's not easy coming to grips that one day they won't be here. It's not something I'm...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3) continued
An important comparison:
The word GIVEN occurs in both the previous verse, Verse 2 and in Verse 3 — or some variation of the word, depending on translation. The comparisons are helpful.
Verse 2: The Court is GIVEN to the Gentiles so that they can persecute...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3)
This is a chapter of equals. The 10th chapter, having brought us to understand that Daniel’s Time-of-the-End prophecies were now being fulfilled, has set the stage for us to understand some of the principles of chronological symbolism. Chapter 11 in its own way tells...
The Two Climbers Dream
I dreamed that I was with another mountain climber at the base of a mountain. There were a group of other climbers ( male and female) getting prepared to climb as well. The purpose of this excursion was to plant a flag at the top. We started to climb before the others to...

Revelation Chapter 10
VERSE 5 “The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven…”
The angel now lifts his right hand to heaven. In Daniel, both hands were lifted. There may be more significance, but it does seem, at...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 2) continued
Revelation Chapter 10
VERSE 2 “He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land…”
HE HAD A LITTLE BOOK OPEN IN HIS HAND:
In the angel’s hand (apparently his left hand; compare Verse 5) is an open...

The Sequel to Daniel 12
Chapter 10 stands in the middle of the Sixth Trumpet section to draw special attention to the fulfillment of an important part of the prophecy of Daniel 12. In both chapters there are clear parallels. These ingredients not only help us see the...
This is an amazing story where the tax collectors asked Peter if his master (Jesus) pay the temple tax. This was a religious tax that was used for maintaining and sevicing the temple. Although Jesus did not need to pay this tax because he was already the Kings son (God's) and foreknowing that...
Strange July indeed!
Before July fades into the greater mist of these recent dramatic times, I would like to pay homage to contemporary prophet Kim Clement (1956 - 2016).
I don’t know a great deal about him, but his “Strange July” prophecy is a testimony of his credibility. Unfortunately...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 1) continued
Revelation Chapter 9
VERSE 16 “Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.”
Suddenly, out of nowhere, we have mentioned armies of horsemen numbering 200,000,000, the context just about demands that this...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 1)
A note before beginning: The sixth Trumpet, which takes part of Chapter 9, all of Chapter 10, and a large part of Chapter 11, IS VERY CHRONOLOGICAL IN NATURE. The intent of the Sender of Revelation was clearly to focus our attention on TIME.
Indeed, ALL of the time...
THE SIXTH SEAL continued
“The chapter division obscures the connection of Chapter 7 to what has come just before at the end of Chapter 6.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to our understanding to see this connection.
Rev 6:12-17 has just shown the terrible troubles of the French Revolution period. These...
THE SIXTH SEAL continued
Revelation Chapter 6
VERSE 14 “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.”
THEN THE SKY RECEDED AS A SCROLL WHEN IT IS ROLLED UP: HEAVEN WAS SPLIT (DEPARTED).
Translators seem to disagree on the...
The Sixth Church is the Church of Philadelphia, meaning “brotherly love”.
Since we have already covered this church and its history in detail, we will move on to the Sixth Seal here, however if you have not seen this study on the Sixth Church or if you simply feel you need a review, you can...
HOW THE SIXTH CHURCH ANTICIPATES THE SEVENTH
The relationship between the sixth and seventh stages of the Church seems unique. In all of the chapters dealing with the sixth Church, the sixth Seal, and sixth Trumpet, there are fingers pointing forward to the seventh or last stage of the Church...
Listen To God's Instructions 1 Kings 13
Whenever I come across this chapter in the Old Testament, it bothers me. Perhaps God was testing the man of God, or perhaps the old prophet just wanted to spend time with him as a fellow prophet and to show him hospitality.
What bothers me most is that...
The Abandoned Truck
This was a very quick dream but I believe it is significant. I dreamed I was in a valley where there were no roads or houses. In this valley there was a truck abandoned in a dry river bed. It was strange because there did not appear to be any roads or tire marks leading to...
THE FIFTH TRUMPET continued
VERSE 10 “They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.”
THEY HAD TAILS LIKE SCORPIONS . . . TO HURT MEN FOR FIVE MONTHS:
The tail of the scorpion is the part containing the stinger. The tail...
THE FIFTH TRUMPET continued
As stated in our last post, the Renaissance was blossoming; people were reasoning; they would love to be free. Hence:
VERSE 6 “In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.”
IN THOSE DAYS MEN WILL...
