Getting back on the topic of this thread, we are to recognize that the current event of the war in
Gaza is a literal fulfillment of
Rev. 9:13-21, of which is from
God's foreknowledge, thus showing that God Himself has nothing to do with such events, that are "of the world", except to reveal them in advance to His born again saints. Such is the case for
Rev.9:13-21, it is now being manifested.
All of God's prophetic words in Revelation will come to pass, and
shall be manifested in the physical, as well as that which is spiritual.
In all actuality, what we are seeing, is
the wrath of Satan, working from behind the scenes, through the kingdoms of men.
Though we may not know where Satan is, both God the Father and God the Son, know exactly where he is at all times. (Please see
Rev. 2:13.)
Rev. 9
[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
[14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
[15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Many surmise and assume that the
four angels are fallen angels of Satan/Lucifer, and at first glance that looks like it could very well be the case, but we shouldn't just think of it in how the
literal words appear to us on the surface.
Since John is the only human recipient of the
pictorial visions from God, his description of them (35 times in the book of Rev.,
saying: "I saw", and 23 times:
"I heard") could only be transposed in his mind, by comparing to that which he knew in his ownself, about the times that he lived in of 96 AD. .
As a result, God revealed and spoke to him
exactly in that way, on the
experiential level of his human knowledge and understanding.
The
words of the book of Rev. come from God the Father directly (Rev. 1:1), being
highly symbolic and
signified/
coded (Rev. 1:1; Isa. 55:8-9) thus requiring God's own discernment to us through His Holy Spirit, which is through "
the mind of Christ", that is
within all born again Christians, and not through "the wisdom of men", of which is nothing more than speculation, which is manipulated and fabricated through
the filter of the doctrines of men, aka "church-ianity". 1 Cor. 2:5.
However, having said that, we must not ignore John's interpretation of his own understanding, of what
he "saw" and "heard" of the symbolic pictures and words, that he transposed in his own mind, but rather for us to also transpose his interpretations from the setting of his times,
into the settings and manifestations of our times, 1,927 years later. (2023AD minus 96AD= 1,927).
The time of that
manifestation,
to slay (kill off) 1/3 of men, is now in process.
".....which were
prepared for an hour, and
a day, and
a month, and
a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Whether that is only in the region of the Euphrates, or on a global scale, I cannot say that I know.
Now, here is a clue, being that of a perspective about the symbolic four "angels" that are "bound" in the "River Euphrates". They all have two things in common, and that is:
All four of those symbolic "angels" have direct access to the Euphrates River, and all four are bound together in that which is the Islamic religion.
Can we name those four countries (symbolized as four angels)? YES!
They are: Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran.
The Euphrates River runs through each one of them, and them ONLY.
EDIT:
So then, one might ask, where in the world and when, has the biblical event of
Rev. 9:1-12 taken place, being just prior to the Euphrates event?
Ans.
It is through the
synthetic mRNA vaccinations (sting) for
COVID-19, of which is still being implemented on a global scale by
the WHO of the UN, aka "the image of the beast with 10H".
The beast with 10H shall be manifested as the final phase of the 4th beast of Daniel, being in it's evolved conglomerate state of what once was the Roman Empire (Rev. 13:1-6). Therefore, having never died, but rather was only "wounded", it shall arise to be that of a Global Economic Empire, which in all the world and in all time, there has never been anything like it.
