What happen just before the Lord's Day? Revelation 11, Satan kills the two witnesses, after 3 1/2 days the 7th trump sounds, Christ returns and gather His elect, and the 7th vial is poured out, God's cup of wrath poured out, on those that followed Satan and worshipped Satan.

 

Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

• The word Armageddon was Har-magedon, meaning a gather place.
• They gather together at Jerusalem, where Satan has his seat, shewing himself as God
• Satan knows peaceful dissent has failed. He now turns to force
• Daniel 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
• 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
• Zechariah 14:1 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.
• Ezekiel 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
  2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

• 7th vial poured out - this is also the three woe to earth - The Cup of Wrath
• This cup of wrath is poured out on those that followed Satan and worshipped Satan
• This wrath is poured out on the first day of the millennium.
• The Lord comes with all power, The Lord of Lords and King of Kings

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

 

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

• Babylon, which means confusing, Will be divided into three parts
• God remembered what Babylon had done to the saints.
• Which were under the altar.
• Isaiah 51:22-23 Tells us that God will take the ''cup of trembling'' out of our hands and put it into hands of them that afflict us.
• Isaiah 51:22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
  23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

• Mountains, biblically speaking, symbolize governments.
• At this time, governments will mean nothing.
• Christ will have returned and set up the millennium temple.
• What a day!!!!

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

• A talent weighs anywhere between 100 pounds and 180 pounds, depending upon the translation that you use.
• A reading of Ezekiel 38 and Ezekiel 39 in conjunction with this Revelation 16 would prove beneficial at this time.
• God uses His own created elements to defeat Satan's army.
• Israel will not have to lift a hand.
• Thanks to our Father.
