7: And the first angel sounded (1st trumpet, action, warning, hand of God. Cp. Zech. 1. Peace cries begin),

and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast out upon the earth, and the third part of the earth was burnt up (this burning up is from torment, i.e. not literal "fire");

and the third part of trees (as in 7:1,3; 9:4. = People, See Ps.1:3, Judg.9:7-15) was burnt up (as above), and all green grass was burnt up (see or pale, see 6:8; 9:4. Mark 6:39).

8: And the second angel sounded (2nd trumpet),

and as it were a great mountain (=the truth, burns people mentally when they find out they have been deceived) burning with fire was cast into the sea (=people of the world. Ever been to a stadium and see people do the wave? sea is a figure of speech meaning multitudes. See 17:15 for Divine the definition):

and the third part of the sea became blood (=people came alive);

9: And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life died (We are creatures in the sea [i.e. peoples] of the word. Here this speaks of a spiritual death not a physical death); and the third part of the ships were destroyed (symbolical of commerce).

10: And the third angel sounded,

and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp (=false light, lies. See 2 Cor.11:14. Here we have the four horns, the four hidden dynasties of the book of Daniel, of the beast system beginning: I=Education, II=Political, III=Economy, IV=Religion. Can you see these today? Wake up!!!), and it fell upon the third part (these followed Satan in the first earth age. See Luke 10:18; Rev.12:7) of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters (=people, see Rev.17:15, Isa.8:7-8);
11: And the name of the star was called Wormwood (=bitterness=Satan):

and the third part of the waters became wormwood (when the false messiah comes they will begin to worship him);

and many men died (=spiritual death) of the waters, because they were made bitter (Biblically illiterate).

12: And the fourth angel sounded.

and the third part of the sun was smitten (=eclipse, deception), and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars (Simulating appearance of Christ. Stars = children of God, see Job 38:7. The Lord Himself foretold these signs. See Matt.24:29. Mark 13:24. Luke 21:25, and cp. Isa.5:30. Ezek:7,8. Joel 2:10,30,31; 3:15. Amos 5:20; 8:9. Zeph.1:14-16.);

in order that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

13: And I beheld, and heard an eagle (see Deut.32:11) flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!" (The woe trumps = trouble on earth. Satan's great M.O.[method of operation] is deception through the "churches")

9)

1: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star (=Lucifer=Satan, the symbol of him who had already become "fallen" before John "saw". Cp. Luke 10:18. Isa.14:12.) fallen from heaven to the earth: and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss (place of holding for evil spirits, demonic forces, the army of correction).
2: And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit (a fake phenomena, using magic, i.e. smoke and mirrors).
3: And there came out of the smoke locusts (=Kenites=the sons of Cain, not real locusts, see next verse) upon the earth ; and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power (locusts destroy food for the year, this food is the truth, see Amos 8:11).
4: And it was commanded them that they not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which do not have the seal of God (=the Word of God) in their foreheads (These wander off into the traditions of men. Cp. Matt. 18:8,9. Ezek.9:4-6. Deception is planted in your forehead if you allow it. The seal of God protects you from antiChrist [=Satan] and his locust army [=the Kenites=the sons of Cain]. Only the two witnesses will be harmed, and they wont mind. The seal is the Holy Spirit within you. The seal is your protector. Remember, the seal of God is available to both the elect and those with free will; however, God expects more of the elect. Make Him proud.).
5: And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months (= 150 days-Passover to Feast of Tabernacles. The period of the locust is from May-September. Time shortened from 3 1/2 years, see Matt.24:22); and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man . (Tormented. Gr. basanizo, lit. to test [metals] by the touchstone, then to torture [not a physical torture but a mental one. See 11:10; 12:2 [pained]; 14;10; 20:10. See Matt.8:29. Mark 5:7. Luke 8:28. "Torment" is specially connected with demons.)
6: And in those days shall men seek death (they realize they have been mislead and are ashamed), and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.
7: And the likeness of the locusts were like horses (horses always symbolic of power) prepared to battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, an their faces were like faces of men.
8: And they had hair as the hair of a woman (i.e. gentle in appearance. See Joel 1:6.), and their teeth were as teeth of lions (they talk sweet but what they teach will tear your heart out).
9: And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron (looked religious but hard and unfriendly.); and the sound of their wings (cp.4:8) was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle (There will be a great number of them. Compare with real locust, i.e. the sound they make when swarming in flight).
10: And they have tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and there power was to hurt men five months. (How does the scorpion eat its food? it stings its victim to immobilize it. Then it regurgitates its digestive juices onto the victim because it has no stomach. Then the juices turn the victim into mush including their BACKBONE. Then and only then it eats its victim. A little graphic perhaps but I think it gets the point across. Satan's armies and lies will do this to you if you do not have God's truth in your forehead. He will cause you to wander to the point of perishing.)
11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel (the Destroying angel, the son of perdition-the only entity at this time which has been judged to perish (death) by God. See Ezek.28 especially v.28 there) of the pit of the abyss, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon (translated means-wander away to perish: destruction. The "destruction" of Job 26:6; 28:22; 31:12. Ps.88:11. Prov.15:11; 27:20. Here personified as Abaddon and Apolyon, the "destroyer". Cp. Isa.16:4. Jer.4:7; 6:26. Dan.8:24,25; 9:26; 11:44), but in the Greek tongue has a name Apolyon (=a destroyer. i.e to destroy fully [reflex. to perish, or lose], lit. or fig.).
12: One woe is past; and behold, there come two woes yet hereafter.
13: and the sixth angel sounded, and I heard one voice (see 8:13) from the four horns (=God's power) of the golden altar which is before God. (God is in control)
14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates." (Boundary between Babylon & God's children)
15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for the hour, and a day, and a month, and a year (=one split second, a fixed point of time, not a period of duration. The four notes of time being under one article and one preposition show that the occasion is one particular moment appointed by God.), in order to slay the third part of men. (Does this seam unfair? See Luke 10:18. What are you afraid of?)
16: And the number of the army of horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand (lit. myriads of myriads, a literal number which John heard and recorded. Cp.7:4): I heard the number of them.
17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone (not the stones of the breastplate of the High Priest Christ): and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. (These are impostors. Remember that symbology is being used here, these are not literal creatures)
18: By these three plagues was the third part of men killed (=spiritually dead, not physically), by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. (=lies, deception, delusion)
19: For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails (tall tales?): for their tails were like serpents, and had heads; and with them do hurt. (These are the Kenites=the sons of Cain)
20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands (they are ignorant, they don't know any better), that they should not worship demons ( A worship which is widespread over the whole world even at this hour, despite the Divine warnings. Distinguished from worship of idols), and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood (6 items here): which, can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
21: Neither repented they of their murders, nor their sorceries (Gr. pharmakeia, where we get our "pharmacy" We are not taking about good drugs which God gives us for healing. Its the ones that poison your mind [you want to fry your brain?] Satan and his workers will also poison your mind with lies. See 18:23. Gal.5:20 [witchcraft]), nor of their fornication's, nor of their thefts.

10)

1: And I saw another mighty angel (=the Angel of the Lord) come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud (not everyone could see Him): and the rainbow was upon His head (=the Shikinah glory), and His face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire:
2: And having in His hand a little book open (Gr. biblaridion. Only here and v.9,10. Cp.1:11 and 5:1, &c., where the scroll was sealed. Here it is opened): and He set His foot upon the sea (over the peoples of the earth, see 17:15), and His left foot over the earth,
3: And cried with a great voice, as when a lion roars (Not a sweet talker as some would lead you to believe. He is the Lion of Judah): and when He cried (i.e. decreed), seven thunders uttered their voices. (i.e. after the fact that Satan is already here. See Luke 10:18. Thunder comes after lightning. The event has already taken place. Too late to prepare for it.)
4: And when the seven thunders uttered their voices (Crash!!!), I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not." (Why not? see previous verse.)
5: And the Angel which I saw stand over the sea (i.e. people) and over the earth lifted up His hand to heaven (Looking to the Godhead)
6: And swore by Him That lives for ever and ever (you can swear to no higher), Who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and things which are therein, that there should be time no longer (your about to meet your maker):
7: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God shall be finished, as He has declared to His servants the prophets. (He's told everything through the prophets. Cp. Mark 3. Your prophets are your witnesses. Have they whispered in your ear. Have you read them with understanding. They are your witnesses. God spoke through them for Jesus The living Word is the Author and finisher of your faith)
8: And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, "Go and take (demands action on your part) the book ( the Bible) which is open (not closed or sealed as some would lead you to believe) in the hand of the Angel which stands over the sea (people) and over the earth." (This is prior to the seventh trump)
9: And I went to the Angel and said to Him, "Give me the the Book." And He said to me, "Take it and eat it up (Hebraism for receiving knowledge. Know that you have a part); and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey."
10: And I took the Book out of the Angels hand (action. Cp. 4:11), and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey (a prophets food); and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. (People will persecute you for telling the truth. See Mark 13:9-11.)
11: And He said to me, "You must prophecy again before many people, and nations, and kings." (Pentecostal tongue, make no distinction. See Ps.104:1-6. Acts 2:6,7)

11)

(chapter 11 is a parenthetical chapter. It includes events before and on the LORD'S day)

1: And there was given me a reed like a rod (=a sceptre, as elsewhere in Rev., see 2:27; 12:5; 19:15. This measuring reed is like a sceptre, and measures for destruction, not for building. See Lam.2:8): and the Angel said, "Rise, and measure the Temple of God, and the altar, and record them worshiping therein. (These sit in the Temple claiming to be God but are not. Cp. Mark 23:16)
2: But the court which is outside the Temple cast out, and measure it not (i.e. do not destroy it); for it is given to the gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.(=moons, Prophecy concerning night, Satan. 10 days short of the Solar calendar 3 1/2 years.)
3: And I will give power to My two witnesses (They are unnamed by God. Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, the only three men not buried by man. Remember the sons of thunder saw Moses and Elijah on the mount of transfiguration. Could these be the two witnesses? This is speculation on my part but I believe it is a possibility, Moses representing the Law and Elijah representing the Prophets.), and they shall prophecy a thousand two hundred and three score days (=Solar 1260 days. They will be here 10 days before and longer than Satan. Days = prophecy concerning God's children, children of light, God's elect.), clothed in sackcloth.
4: These are the two olive trees (olive in Heb. = el-a-yah. El = God, Yah = the sacred name of God. See Zech.4:11-14.) and the two candlesticks (See 1:20, two churches. Only Smyrna and Philadelphia remain faithful), standing before the God of the earth.
5: And if anyone will hurt them (i.e. the two witnesses), fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies (see 2 Kings 1:10. Its from there mouth because they call it down from heaven. See also Jer.5:14.)
6: These have power to shut heaven, in order that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they shall desire. (Remember the power God gave Moses and Elijah?)
7: And when they (i.e. the two witnesses) shall have their testimony finished, the beast (=Satan playing a new role, see 17:8) that ascends out of the pit of the abyss shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (When the two witnesses are killed, we know one of the very last signs of Christ's return has been fulfilled)
8: And their dead bodies lie in the street (Gr. plateia, a broad place or way, an arena, a public meeting place, rather that "street") of the great city (i.e. Jerusalem), which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (=vise & tyranny. Cp.Isa.1:9,10. Esek.16.46, 53; 23:3,8,19,27. Ps.9:9.; 10:1, and 79.), where also their Lord was crucified. (The Holy Spirit thus points to the city in the plainest way)
9: And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.(they don't want them to resurrect like Christ did)
10: And they that dwell on the whole earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. (because they told them the truth, that they were worshiping the fake=anti-Christ=Satan, His ultimate role)
11: And after the three days and a half the spirit of life (=pneuma, the breath of life) from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. (fell=Gr. epipipto = a paralyzing fear, because the 7th trump starts to begin. Christ returns)
12: And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up to this place." And they ascended up into the heaven in the cloud (see 10:1); and their enemies beheld them.
13: And in that same hour (=the hour of temptation) there came to be a great earthquake (Christ's feet touch the earth), and the tenth of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men of names seven thousand (=the fallen angels. See Jude 6.) and the remnant were afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14: The second woe is past;

and behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
