I understand it just fine. These are all the same event, at the same chronological time. Separated by no more than a period in its grammatical sequence.

Mark 13:25 (KJV) And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

Matthew 24:29 (KJV) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Revelation 6:13 (KJV) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

The Parable is the Fig Tree is explained clearly in Matt. 24:36-44;Mark 13:28-31; Luke 21:29-33 which is the Rev 6:13.

You’re simply imputing your own interpretation into the text.

I'm definitely not doing that. You have closed off a lot of God's Word to yourself, so naturally you cannot understand what I'm showing you.

The parable of a fig tree, which Lord Jesus commanded that we learn, goes back to the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3, and in Jeremiah 24 for modern times regarding the nation of Israel. You show above that you are only staying in The New Testament Scriptures.

Furthermore, the "untimely figs" metaphor in Rev.6 is NOT about the parable of a fig tree. It is about Satan and his angels being cast down to earth at the end of this world. And that you are totally blinded to, and need to pray about.

The darkness, blood red moon is all part of the cosmic signs directly preceding the Day of the Lord. No amount of self interpretation needed as I have provided explicit scripture references that all attest to such.
Not my self interpretation, you are only saying that as an excuse for you not understanding the Bible Scripture I showed you.

You claim: “The power of Christ did not yet exist at Lucifer's original fall”.

That’s a lie, He existed from the beginning:

The power of Christ in Heaven being referred to in Rev.12 is about His death and resurrection at His 1st coming being fully completed in Heaven, as it is tied there with Satan at that point no longer being able to accuse us before God's Throne in Heaven, like he did with Job.

But you are saying Jesus fulfilled that at Satan's original fall!!?

You need to study this more...

Rev 12:9-12
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying
in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

You trying to tell me that "salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ" happened back at Satan's original fall?!??

Notice how that "accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night" is tied with that event of Satan's casting down to earth. You really think that happened back at Satan's original rebellion and fall?!#$%^?

What brethren would those be back then at Satan's original fall?

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
KJV


I thought maybe you weren't like many here who have their spiritual eyes and ears closed, but it looks like you're just another poor soul that heeds men's doctrines and will take any side in an argument just to keep from appearing Biblically illiterate.

Believers have physically died, their bodies are dead in the grave, and you suggest the souls in heaven are in need of oxygen living, surrounded by plant life?

It's my opinion that when scripture is silent on the description leave it at that "A Mystery"
Jesus came from heaven, he ate food and breathed air, as did the two witnesses. They all three died, and I expect they all three got new spiritual bodies. See 1Corinthians 15:44.

The Bible says:

o. The Lord will come suddenly to His temple. (Malachi 3:1)

o. "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war." (Revelation 19:11)

o. "...They came to life, and reigned with Christ A THOUSAND YEARS." (Revelation 20:4)

Truth717 objected: "bodies are dead."

Check out 1Corinthians 15:35-50, 1Thessalonians 4:17.

That’s a good verse that I had never noticed before and I know it won’t line up with your views but still, look at this.

The messenger was John the Baptist which sets the timing of this verse. Plus we know that when Jesus rose from the dead he came to his people whom the Bible calls the true temple of God.

Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Yes, that would be my opinion.

<Lord whom you seek will come suddenly to his temple>

Jesus came to his temple, riding on a colt, as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9.
He will return, not as the Lamb of God, but as the Lion of Judah (Genesis 49:8-9, Revelation 5:5), to a rebuilt Jewish temple.

Probably.

Jesus will return to a rebuilt Jewish temple.
The temple was a foreshadow of the true temple, right? The old temple is gone, replaced by the new temple—which is us.

When the shadow is replaced by the real thing, the shadow is done forever. It would be like saying Jesus fulfilled the Passover lamb, but we're going to go back to sacrificing lambs anyway.

IMO in Malachi 3:1:
o. ""Messenger before me" is John the Baptist
o. "Lord" is Jesus
o. "Messenger of the covenant" is Jesus
o. "Whom you delight in" is Jesus

A messenger is someone who is SENT to deliver a message.

"For God so loved the world, that he SENT His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
(John 3:16)

I Strongly Disagree

Jesus won't be found any place upon this earth, the future antichrist will come claiming to be Messiah returned just as post #281 clearly shows "Beware"!
How do you interpret those Zechariah passages to fit your narrative. I quoted several that appear to strongly disagree with you.

You failed to acknowledge the very words of Jesus Christ below "Why"?

(I Beheld Satan As Lightning Fall From Heaven)

Luke 10:17-18KJV
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
I acknowledged them in context. Verse 17 above provides the meaning for verse 18 above. When the 70 were given the power of the Holy Spirit, Satan lost his power over the 70. That is the entirety of the meaning of these 2 verses. Satan fell in power over mankind, but his location was unchanged. There may have been some literal lightning as the former angel of light (Lucifer) may have flashed in some spectacular way at this loss of power, but that information is not available.

The literal casting out of Satan occurs in the 3rd trumpet. Rev 8:10 "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;" The great star is identified in this "fall" as Satan being cast from heaven in the parallel passage of Rev 12:9. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

One passage can't be chosen over another as truth. Since both passages are true, we have to figure out how they are both true. I have shown you how I reconcile these passages. How do you reconcile them? Did the 3rd trumpet occur in the first century?

Revelation 11:15 is a declaration made in heaven about God enacting His plan to relieve the world from the influence of Satan and his angels.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.


No,not Satan. That great star is called Wormwood in Revelation 8:11. The star will be some sort of asteroid that will poison a third of the earth's water, when it falls to earth.


I don't think a star metaphor is needed in Revelation 12:12, because the text speaks directly about Satan.
I agree completely with what you said about Rev 11:15-17. IMO this marks the end of the GT and the beginning of God's wrath. This portion is after Daniel's 70th week and that's why there are 1335 days after the midpoint of the GT and not 1260 days.

IMO there is a spiritual aspect to most physical occurrences on earth. The great star (Satan-spiritual aspect) causes the water to be poisoned (physical aspect). How much of earth's waters were temporarily poisoned from the Chernobyl aka Wormwood explosion? 1/3?

Rev 8:12 "And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise." How much of the heavenly bodies were concealed by the Chernobyl radioactive cloud? 1/3?

Rev 12:12 Does speak directly about Satan, but he was cast out (already fallen) right after the war in heaven in Rev 12:9, trumpet 3.
Compare: Earthly aspect in Rev 8 - Spiritual aspect taking place at the same time as the earthly aspect in Rev 12
Rev 8:7 Trumpet 1, War on earth - Rev 12:7 War in heaven
Rev 8:8 Trumpet 2, Defeat of earthly kingdom - Rev 12:8 Defeat of Satan's heavenly realm
Rev 8:9-10 Trumpet 3, Poison in 1/3 of earth's waters - Rev 12:9 Satan cast to earth
Rev 8:12 Trumpet 4, 1/3 of heavenly bodies darkened - Rev 12:9 1/3 of angels cast to earth
Rev 8:13 Woe from each of 3 more physical afflictions - Rev 12:12 Woe from Satan being on earth

3 woes occur to the inhabitants of the earth because of the presence on earth of the spiritual being Satan.
The first woe, trumpet 5 lasts for 5 months.
The second woe, trumpet 6 lasts for the time it takes for the 200 million to move from the Euphrates River to Jerusalem + 3.5 years.
The GT ends after the 2nd woe and the 75 days of the 3rd woe, the time of God's wrath begins - This is the time of "God enacting His plan to relieve the world from the influence of Satan and his angels." Rev 11:15

When Satan is cast down to earth in Revelation 12:12, he will seek to persecute the woman, Israel, for a time, times, half time, in Revelation 12:14.

So that is how long the third woe lasts. During that time, times, half time - Satan will be restricted to being on earth.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Satan is cast down to earth at the beginning of the third woe, he will be tossed the key to bottomless pit. And as the falling star in Revelation 9:1, when he opens the bottomless pit, it releases the flesh tormenting locust described as the first woe.

I know that sounds strange, but the first woe and the beginning of third woe are tied together.

IMO:
o. Yes, believers are indwelt by the Spirit, according to God's promise:
"I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." (Joel 2:28-29).

o. There must be a temple before the return of Jesus:
"The Lord whom you seek will come suddenly to his temple."
(Malachi 3:1)

o. Prior to Jesus, Antichrist will take his seat in that temple:
"He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God
or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming
himself to be God.". (2Thessalonians 2:4)

Yes, there is going to be another temple built. Likely after the Gog/Magog event takes place to remove the Muslim presence and control of the temple mount.

How do you interpret those Zechariah passages to fit your narrative. I quoted several that appear to strongly disagree with you.

Zechariah Chapter 14 Is The Eternal Kingdom​


Zechariah 14:1-12 below shows the Lords return to earth in fire in final judgement.

(Verse 1) shows "The Day Of The Lord" also seen in 2 Peter 3:10-13 "Fire Judgement" below

(Verse 2) Shows that all nations are gathered for the final battle of armageddon.

(Verses 3-5) shows the Lords return, and his eternal feet touch down on the earthly Mt, of Olives, and in the "Twinkling Of An Eye" 1 Cor 15:52 takes place, in the catching up, resurrection, final judgement by fire, and the New Heavens, Earth, and Jerusalem being revealed for eternity, judgement complete, eternity begins.

(Verses 6-7) Eternal light seen, in the eternal kingdom, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 8) The river of life is seen, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 10) The New creation is being revealed, the plain is lifted up.

(Verse 12) "The Day Of The Lord" showing the "Last Day" judgement by the Lords fire, as men are consumed as they stand on their feet, 2 Peter 3:10-13

2 Peter 3:10KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Revelation 22:1KJV
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

"The Eternal Kingdom"!

Zechariah 14:1-12KJV
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 but it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lordshall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Once again Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh clearly tells the reader, simple, clear, and before your eyes, there's no need to compare or look elsewhere "God Has Spoken" heed what you read!

Luke 10:17-18KJV
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

I know that sounds strange, but the first woe and the beginning of third woe are tied together.
Your claim is "False"

The 3rd woe follows the 2nd woe "Quickly" that will see the second coming and final judgement Rev 11:14-18

Revelation 11:14-18KJV
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

I'm definitely not doing that. You have closed off a lot of God's Word to yourself, so naturally you cannot understand what I'm showing you.

The parable of a fig tree, which Lord Jesus commanded that we learn, goes back to the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3, and in Jeremiah 24 for modern times regarding the nation of Israel. You show above that you are only staying in The New Testament Scriptures.

Furthermore, the "untimely figs" metaphor in Rev.6 is NOT about the parable of a fig tree. It is about Satan and his angels being cast down to earth at the end of this world. And that you are totally blinded to, and need to pray about.


Not my self interpretation, you are only saying that as an excuse for you not understanding the Bible Scripture I showed you.



The power of Christ in Heaven being referred to in Rev.12 is about His death and resurrection at His 1st coming being fully completed in Heaven, as it is tied there with Satan at that point no longer being able to accuse us before God's Throne in Heaven, like he did with Job.

But you are saying Jesus fulfilled that at Satan's original fall!!?

You need to study this more...

Rev 12:9-12
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying
in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

You trying to tell me that "salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ" happened back at Satan's original fall?!??

Notice how that "accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night" is tied with that event of Satan's casting down to earth. You really think that happened back at Satan's original rebellion and fall?!#$%^?

What brethren would those be back then at Satan's original fall?

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
KJV


I thought maybe you weren't like many here who have their spiritual eyes and ears closed, but it looks like you're just another poor soul that heeds men's doctrines and will take any side in an argument just to keep from appearing Biblically illiterate.
We simply disagree. I originally said the blood moon is an equivalence of the moon not giving off its light, making it synonymous with the 6th seal cosmic signs and there isn’t two 6th seals.

The falling stars as outlined Matt 24 and Mark 13 is just another way of saying they are darkened and will not be seen. All 6th seal cosmic signs that signal to believers our redemption draws nigh.

Matthew 24:29 (KJV) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mark 13:24-25 (KJV) 24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

Rev 6:13 and the 6th seal likening the stars falling to that like a fig tree being shaken and her figs, I’m not making that distinction, scripture is. It’s no coincidence that the parable of the fig tree is then given and explained right after the 6th seal cosmic signs of the stars falling and the heavens being shaken are given in Matt, Luke, and Mark.

Revelation 6:13 (KJV) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

So, too its connection one with Rev 12 and satan being cast out, one could certainly infer its connection to the 6th seal and starts falling as you proclaim. I simply don’t.

Rev 12 says only a third of the stars fall, meaning 2/3 still remain. The 6th seal signs say they all go dark. While the imagery of Rev 12 is similar it’s not all encompassing as Rev 6:13, Mark 13, Luke 21, and Matt 24.

The temple was a foreshadow of the true temple, right? The old temple is gone, replaced by the new temple—which is us.

When the shadow is replaced by the real thing, the shadow is done forever. It would be like saying Jesus fulfilled the Passover lamb, but we're going to go back to sacrificing lambs anyway.
IMO:
Jesus will build the temple, see Acts 15:15-18. The temple area contained more than just the Holy place.

There is no temple in the new heavens and earth (Revelation 22:22).

Try Google "blood moon" for a picture, it's a lunar eclipse. Jesus died during a blood moon (April 3, AD33 ), and Jesus will return during a blood moon (Joel 2:31, Revelation 6:12).
