The Great Tribulation Period
The Seals, The Trumpets and The Vials
The 6th Seal Revelation 6:12-17
[12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[13] 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.
[14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
[16] And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
[17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Phase One: 6th Seal, 1st Trumpet, 1st Vial
[Rev. 6:12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[Rev. 8:7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood,and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up,and all green grass was burnt up.
[Rev. 16:2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men, which had the mark of the beast, and upon them, which worshiped his image.
The worldwide shifting of the tectonic plates will produce the “great earthquake.” The ruptures along the plate boundaries across land areas will create massive volcanic eruptions.These eruptions will destroy one-third of the trees (in the volcanic blast zone) and all the green grass (from the ash fall) on the earth. The volcanic ash in the upper atmosphere will change the appearance of the sun and moon (as people look upward through a dense cloud of volcanic ash; the sun will fade into a blackish shade and the moon will appear reddish or like it was blood). Finally, the amount of hydrogen chloride gas pushed up into the ozone layer by violent eruptions will so weaken the structure of the layer that ultraviolet radiation will be able to reach the earth’s surface in large quantities. This ultraviolet radiation will produce a noisome and grievous cancer sore on all the lost who have been left behind after the Rapture.
Phase Two: 6th Seal, 2nd Trumpet, 2nd Vial
[Rev. 8:8-9] And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
[Rev. 16:3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
One-third of the creatures in the sea will be destroyed by the volcanically induced reactions in the immediate vicinity of seafloor fault lines. As time passes, ocean currents will carry the smothering volcanic material throughout the oceans of the world, leading to total destruction of sea life. One-third of the ships in port will be destroyed by the tsunamis waves, resulting from the eruptions of seafloor volcanoes.
Phase Three: 6th Seal, 3rd Trumpet, 3rd Vial
[Rev. 6:13] 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.
[Rev. 8:10-11] 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; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
[Rev. 16:4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
The “stars” and “a great star” and “Wormwood” is a comet, which will hit the earth’s atmosphere and melts completely before reaching the earth’s surface. Embedded within the frozen mass of gasses that form the comet’s nucleus, there are thousands, perhaps millions of tiny pieces of meteoric rock. These rocks will not melt like the frozen gases; instead, they will appear as “falling stars”“third” of the “rivers and upon the fountains of waters”among the continental land masses. that burn themselves out in the earth’s atmosphere. The entrance of the comet into the earth’s atmosphere will be heralded as a meteor storm and its final effect will be the poisoning of much of the earth’s water supply as the dense fog like gases descend upon the rivers and lakes within the continental land masses. It is most likely; this comet will fall upon the Eurasia continent, as it would fit the “third”of the “rivers and upon the fountains of waters” among the continental land masses.
Phase Four: 6th Seal, 4th Trumpet, 4th Vial
[Rev. 6:14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[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.
[Rev. 16:8-9] And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
This is a two-roll Jewish scroll that rolls together toward the center. As one looks upon an open scroll, much writing is in full view of the reader’s eyes. However, as one slowly rolls the two ends toward each other, the writing slowly but surely disappears from view bit by bit— and finally disappears completely when the two rolls meet. When numerous volcanoes begin to erupt at the first trumpet, the upper stratosphere will not immediately be filled with ash. It will take time but gradually the suspended volcanic cloud bands of ash will roll themselves together — and one by one all the heavenly bodies will fade from view. The spread of volcanic clouds in the stratosphere will occur in stages. When the fourth trumpet sounds, the distribution of suspended ash will be such that at any given location the heavenly bodies will only be visible about one-third of a twenty-four-hour period. The complete filling of the earth’s atmosphere does not occur until shortly after the fifth trumpet. By the last drop of the fourth vial, the injection of volcanic hydrogen chloride by violent upward projection will have virtually destroyed the ozone layer. Without this protective ozone shield, ultraviolet radiation will pour down upon those left behind after the Rapture. The beginning of skin cancer at the first vial will have reached plague proportions by the fourth vial. Ultraviolet radiation is a scorching fire as compared to the radiation we now receive from the sun at the earth’s surface.
Phase Five: 6th Seal, 5th Trumpet, 5th Vial
[Rev.6:14-15] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation 9:1-12
[1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
[2] And he opened the bottomless pit; 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.
[3] And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
[4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
[5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
[6] And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
[7] And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
[8] And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
[9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
[10] And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
[11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
[12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
[Rev. 16:10-11] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
When all the tectonic plates of the earth have completed their massive worldwide slippage, not one island or mountain will have its original geographical location. Their fixed latitudinal and longitudinal set of coordinates in degrees of minutes and seconds will be changed. This great shifting will produce a volcanic chain of eruptions that will send mankind into the dens and rocks of the mountains. The bottomless pit is the earth’s interior being a great fiery furnace. When the crust along the tectonic boundaries open, there will be catastrophic volcanic eruptions like the world has never seen. Only dim outlines of the heavenly bodies will be seen from the earth. When these boundaries are opened, spiritual demonic beings will be released and torment lost humanity for the last five months remaining of the Great Tribulation Period.
In Revelation 8:13, the Scriptures proclaim a warning by saying: Woe, woe, woe to those who inhabit the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! This 5th trumpet sounds and releases these demonic beings through the volcanic vents from the earth’s interior. They torment lost humanity for five months or 150 days. This event begins a period of “five months” (5 x 30 = 150 days) before the end of the Great Tribulation Period, which is 75 days before the “last trump” (I Corinthians 15:51-52 & II Thessalonians 4:16-18) announcing the Rapture of the saved from the earth, since the demons are instructed not to hurt the saved, “but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” The full text of this 5th trumpet “Woe” is found in Revelation 9:1-11. The “Saved”will be on the earth during this event!
Phase Six: 6th Seal, 6thTrumpet, 6th Seal
Revelation 9:13-21
[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.
[16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and 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: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
[18] By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
[19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
[20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils,and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
[21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
[Rev. 16:12 & 16] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
At some time in eons past God confined four of Satan’s angels to a material place — the Euphrates River. They are imprisoned here for a specific purpose — to destroy one-third of the Holy Land population. These four demonic beings and their 200-million demonic army will use the natural elements of volcanic fire to destroy people in this area. A large number of people will be jammed along the upper Euphrates and down the Jordan through the valley of Armageddon. This massive army will be there at the request of the Antichrist or Islamic leader to finally destroy the people of Israel. During this time, the splitting of the Great Rift Valley from Lebanon to the Gulf of Aqabah will cause the collapse of the Palmyra folds and faults. The Euphrates River will be diverted towards the Jordan River and the Dead Sea into the Gulf of Aqabah. The southern three-fourths of the Euphrates River will dry up and allow the kings of the east to travel west to Jerusalem to worship the returned Messiah for the next one thousand years.
Phase Seven: 7th Seal, 7thTrumpet, 7th Vial
[Rev. 6:17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
[Rev. 11:15 & 19] 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 forever and ever. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
[Rev. 16:17-21] 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. 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. 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. 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.
This is the last stage of His great wrath and there will be very few people left alive on the earth. This phase begins with an increase in the intensity of volcanic eruptions producing volcanic hail or bombs and finally brings about the greatest earthquake in the history of humanity. It will occur in the Jordan River Valley and will split the city of Jerusalem into three sections. This great earthquake will start a chain reaction of earthquakes throughout the global tectonic plate boundaries, resulting in the destruction the cities of the world and the city of Rome, Italy will be completely destroyed by volcanic fire by the Colli Albani volcano, eventually sinking beneath the earths’ surface and engulf by the Tiber River. This chain reaction will end with great volcanic hail or melting rocks being thrown out upon the unbelieving people of the world during this forty-five day period of the Wrath of God.

The Seven Trumpets And The Seven Vials Of The Wrath Of God
1st Trumpet: The first angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there followed hail and a fire mixed and mingled with a blood-like substance and they were cast and poured upon the earth: and the third part of the trees were burned down and completely burnt up; and all green herbage, grass and vegetation were completely consumed and burned down to the ground. [Rev. 8:7].

1st Vial: And the first went, and poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the whole land of the earth; and there came to be, an ulcer and sore that draws together which was injurious, malignant, hurtful and a painful disease; upon human beings, who had the mark as a badge of servitude of the beast and upon them who prostrate themselves, to do reverence, to adore and to worship his image. [Rev. 16:2].
********************
2nd Trumpet: And the second angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and it was in a manner as it were a great mountain being lifted above the plain, set on fire, burning and consuming, was cast and thrown with intense violence into the sea: and the third part of the sea became as similar to blood; And the third part of the created things which were in the sea, and had life, began to die off; and the third part of the shipping vessels were destroyed. [Rev. 8:8-9].

3rd Trumpet: And the third angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there fell down from the air of the sky, a great and mighty star, as stretching across the sky of heaven, burning as set on fire, as if it were a lamp or torch and it fell down upon the third part of the streams and rivers and upon the fountains, that is, the supply of waters; And the name and character of the star is called Wormwood or a calamity of bitterness; and the third part of the rainy waters became wormwood or a calamity of bitterness; and an abundant and a great many human beings began to die off, because of the rainy waters, because they were made bitter.

This trumpet indicates, a Comet will be on a direct course to the earth… Humanity will be able to see the comet before it hits the earth. As the Comet hits the earth’s atmosphere, the dust particles will appear to be falling stars and the poison within the comet will be mixed into the clouds, falling with the rain. It will probably fall on the Old World countries of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa, or one third of the earth.

4th Trumpet: And the fourth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and the third part of the light, as the eastern sun, was inflicted and smitten in a calamity; and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, as stretching across the sky; so as a result, the third part of them was darkened and obscure; and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the night likewise in a similar manner. [Rev. 8:12].

4th Vial: And the fourth angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the light, of the rising sun in the east; and power was given unto him to scorch human beings with fire. And human beings were burned and scorched with a great and mighty burning, glowing heat; and they began to blaspheme and speak evil and defame, the name of the very exceeding great God; who has the authority, mastery and power over this stroke of a calamity and these plagues: and they did not repent or think differently or reconsider to give Him glory, honor and worshipful praise. [Rev. 16:8-9].

Woe, Woe, Woe Unto The Inhabitants Of The Earth
The 1st Woe!!!
Revelation 8: [13] And I beheld, and heard an angel 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!
This is a link:
01. Revelation 8:13
5th Trumpet: [1] And the fifth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and I saw a star fall down from the sky of heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key to the lock of the depthless abyss, the infernal deep and the bottomless pit. [2] And he opened up the holes in the ground, the cisterns and wells of the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the bottomless pit, from the depthless infernal, from the holes in the ground; in the manner as the smoke of a great burning, smoking furnace; and the sunlight as rising in the east and the blowing air from its’ original place was darkened from the smoke of the holes in the ground, the cisterns, the wells, the abyss and the pit. [3] And there came out, and escaped, and spread abroad from the smoke, locusts upon the whole ground, land and regions of the earth: and unto them was given authority, liberty, mastery and power, in the manner of scorpions of the earth with a sting, which have power, force and strength. [4] And it was commanded them that, they should not hurt or injure the grass or herbage and vegetation of the earth, neither any greenish thing, neither any tree; but only those human beings who have not the true seal of protection, of the very exceeding God, in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was commanded and given them, that they should not outright destroy and kill or slay them, but for the intent and purpose to torture, cause pain and vex them, that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was in the manner as the torment of a stinging scorpion, when a scorpion hits and strikes, to sting a human being. [6] And in those days shall human beings seek death, and shall not be able to find it; and shall desire to obtain to die and being able to die off, or be slain and death shall escape, flee and vanish from them. [7] And the shapes and resemblance of the locusts, were like the manner unto horses ready and prepared unto battle or a series of warfare; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of human beings. [8] And they had hair, as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the same manner as the teeth of lions. [9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sounding tone of their wings, was as the sound of chariots of a great many horses running with hast to battle or a series of warfare. [10] And they had tails in the like manner, unto a stinging scorpion and they had stinging, pricking tails: and their force, mastery and power were to hurt and injure human beings for five months. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the depthless, infernal abyss, the deep bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue, is Abaddon, that is, a destroying angel; but in the Greek tongue, his name is Apollyon; a destroyer. [12] One woe is past; and, lo, behold, there come two woes more, hereafter. [Revelation 9:1-12].

08. Bottomless Pit
When the “fifth angel sounds” the “fifth trumpet,” he is given “the key” which opens the “bottomless pit.” The “bottomless pit” is the interior of the earth. The only way to open into the interior of the earth is to open the surface of the earth’s crust. Upon the surface of the earth, there are volcanic vents. When there remains “five months” before the end of the Great Tribulation Period, this angel is given authority from God to open these pathways beneath the surface, where certain demonic beings dwell. From this study, it is possible to determine, these demons have made an appearance upon the earths’ surface in ancient times and now, from the hundreds, perhaps even several thousand erupting volcanoes, they will escape from the bottomless pit along the earth’s tectonic boundaries, from these volcanic vents for the sole purpose of tormenting lost humanity. The saved will be present during this fifth trumpet (1st woe) and the sixth trumpet (2nd woe); until the seventh trumpet (3rd woe) sounds, which announces the Rapture of all the saved from the earth.
These demons are from the group associated with Michael the archangel, while they were still perfect. After their fall, they became “evil” spiritual beings, called demons. They will cause the earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth, in order to torment and destroy humanity.

5th Vial: And the fifth angel poured forth his broad shallow cup and vial upon the seat of power of the beast; and his kingdom and realm of rule was obscured, blind and full of darkness; and they chewed and gnawed their tongues because of the anguish and pain; And blasphemed and spoke evil, to defame the very exceeding God of the abode of heaven, because of their anguish, and pain, and their ulcerous sores, and did not repent or think differently, nor reconsider, because of their acts, deeds and labors.

The 2nd Woe!!!
Revelation 9: [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
This is a link:
01. Revelation 9:12
6th Trumpet: [13] And the sixth angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar and place of sacrifice which is before the very exceeding God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Unloose the four angels which are in bonds, in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were unloosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay, to kill outright and destroy the third part of human beings. [16] And the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; that is, two hundred million: and I heard the number of them. [17] And thus, I saw the horses in the inspired appearance of the vision, and them that sat on them, having a chest and breastplate of flaming red fire; and of jacinth, deep blue; and a yellow sulfurous-like brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded a lightning fire and smoke and a sulfurous brimstone. [18] By these three was the stroke, calamity and plague that caused the third part of human beings to be outright killed and slain to death, by the lightning fire; and by the smoke, and by the yellow sulfurous like-brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. [19] For their power and force is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were in the like manner and similar to a malicious snake or serpent, and had heads, and with them they do hurt and injure. [20] And the rest and remaining of the human beings which were not killed and slain by these strokes of calamity and plagues, yet repented not, nor reconsidered their thoughts, to think differently of the work and labor of their hands, that they should not and in no wise fall down to pay homage, give reverence, adore and worship demonic beings, as a deity and an image of an idol of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorcery and witchcraft, nor of their harlotry and fornication, nor of their thefts. [Revelation 9:13-21].
It is a possibility, this 6th trumpet occurs a few months before the Rapture of the saved, since the previous 5th trumpet may indicate the remaining 5 months of a Biblical 30 day period to the end of the Great Tribulation Period, including the 45 days of the Wrath of God (the seven vials). Therefore, the 5th trumpet is 150 days in length, minus the 45 days during the Wrath of God (the seven vials) and if the 7th trumpet (the Rapture occurs on the blowing of the 7th or last trump) is proportional at 35 days, it leaves 70 days in which the saved will still be on the earth during this 6th trumpet event. The events detailing the drying up of the Euphrates River occurs after the Rapture and a few weeks before the end of the Great Tribulation Period.
These riders upon the horses are “spirits” associated with the angel Gabriel while they were still perfect. After their fall, they are called “demons.” The horses are “spirits” associated with the angel Lucifer while they were still perfect. After the fall, they are called “demons.” These two groups of demonic beings are working together to use the earth, by way of shifting the earth’s crust to produce earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to destroy humanity upon it… There are presently about 6,793,622,290 people upon the earth… and increases almost 9,000 an hour.. (01/01/2010)
After The Great Tribulation Period there may far less than 1 billion people who will still be alive to enter into the 1,000 year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
From the previous trumpet, we learn the pathway to the “bottomless pit” has been opened, which are volcanic vents, leading downward into the earths’ interior and has allowed certain warrior type demonic beings to escape and roam freely upon the earth for the purpose of tormenting the spiritual lost for the remaining five months before the end of the Great Tribulation Period. The 5th trumpet is a worldwide event, while the 6th trumpet is a local event, because it is related to the “great river Euphrates” with the primary fact “and the water thereof was dried up,” as indicated on the 6th Vial. Even though the headwaters of the Euphrates River begin in the mountains of Turkey, the true force of the river flows through Syria and Iraq. To better define the statement, “and the water thereof was dried up,” it would be logical to ask the question, “Where did the water go?”
In order for the waters of the Euphrates River to dry up as it flows through Syria and Iraq, there must have been something happen to the headwaters system. As long as the rain falls from the sky, it has to flow somewhere on a downward path. The simplest way to dry up any water path, such as a creek, stream or river, is to change or divert the path it has been flowing. The main emphasis of the Great Tribulation Period has been “EARTHQUAKES” and the local or worldwide effect. The counties of Turkey, Lebanon and Israel have had many large earthquakes in the past. When this sixth angel pours out the vial of wrath upon the Euphrates River, the effect will cause a collapse of the underling layers of rock strata south of the rivers’ headwaters and it will be diverted from its’ present southeast flow through Syria, Iraq and into the Persian Gulf to a southwest direction through Syria, Lebanon and Israel, into the Jordan River and finally into the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea.
When the Euphrates River is diverted southwest through the collapsed Palmyride folds, caused by the earthquake activity in the area, the Euphrates River will begin flowing into the Jordan River. This great river will flow west into the Mediterranean Sea and south into the Gulf of Aqaba. This river is described in the vision of Ezekiel, concerning the geological changes in the land of Israel during the Millennial Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6th Vial: And the sixth angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the running water thereof was dried up; that the way, journey and route of the kings of the eastern rising of the sun, might be prepared and made ready. And he gathered, collected and led them together into a place for a purpose, called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon or Har-Meggiddon, that is, Megiddo. [Rev. 16:12&16].
When the Islamic – (Arab) – (Antichrist) – leader, along with the ten Arab confederation of nations and the other Eurasian nations who respond to his call for the Battle of Armageddon, it will be getting near the time in which the Lord will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Lord will cause the Mount of Olives to split in two and the western section of Jerusalem will be lifted, exposing a newly formed spring. This will be the spring in which the Prophet Ezekiel mentions and will flow east to connect with the Jordan River, which has been increased to a great river, because the Euphrates River has been diverted to form this single mighty river.
Ezekiel 47: [1] Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. [2] Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. [3] And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. [4] Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. [5] Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. [6] And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. [7] Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. [8] Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. [9] And it shall come to pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh. [10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. [11] But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. [12] And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
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. [9] And the LORD shall 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.
After all the geological changes have occurred, resulting in the diverted Euphrates River and the new spring from Jerusalem, the Jordan River will begin to flow out of the Dead Sea into the Gulf of Aqaba. The Sinai Peninsula will be pushed into the African continent allowing this new river to flow freely. The Sinai Peninsula is “the tongue of the Egyptian sea.” The earthquake that occurs when the Mount of Olives splits in half will cause the southern section of the Dead Sea Fault Zone to also split apart and/or possibly subside, allowing the Jordan River to flow south into the Gulf of Aqaba and finally into the Red Sea.
Isaiah 11: [15] And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry-shod. [16] And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 47: [10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
When the Euphrates River, the Jordan River and Ezekiel’s spring combine their water sources, in addition to hundreds, perhaps thousands of newly formed springs, along with the transformation of the southern end of the Dead Sea Fault Zone, the “New River” will be able to support an abundance of freshwater fish for the 1,000 years in which Israel will become the breadbasket of the world.

The 3rd Woe!!!
Revelation 11: [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
This is a link:
01. Revelation 11:14
There is a very important question in which we should ask? Is this 7th trumpet, the last trump as was mentioned by the Apostle Paul concerning the “Rapture” of the saved? It would seem like “common sense”, to assume if there was a “last trump,” then there must be trumpets which have already sounded. Therefore, with just basic “common sense”, how about making a simple determination: The “Rapture” of the saved will be on the “last trump or the seventh trumpet of the seven angels.”
Revelation 8: [1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8: [6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded;
I Corinthians 15: [51] Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
I Thessalonians 4: [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
What can we learn from these verses of Scripture and from the following verses in Revelation 11:15-19 and try to make some practical “common sense” of the matter:
1. There are seven angels standing before God.
2. Apparently, it would be correct to assume, it is God personally who has given a trumpet to each of the seven angels.
3. The seven angels each have a trumpet and at a certain time period in the future, are ready to sound the trumpet.
4. The 1st angel sounds: Revelation 8: [7] The first angel sounded.
5. The 2nd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [8] And the second angel sounded.
6. The 3rd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [10] And the third angel sounded.
7. The 4th angel sounds: Revelation 8: [12] And the fourth angel sounded.
8. The 5th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [1] And the fifth angel sounded.
9. The 6th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [13] And the sixth angel sounded.
10. The 7th angel sounds: Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded.
11. The Apostle Paul is about to reveal a mystery.
12. Those dead carnal natures of saved souls in the grave are about to be changed.
13. In a moment of time, as fast as the eye can blink, at the last trump.
14. A trumpet will sound and the mystery takes place.
15. The dead are raised from the corruption of the grave and are changed.
16. The Lord descends from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trump of God. (What does the Lord do with this trump of God? Is is a new trump or is it a trump already given to one of the angels? Perhaps one of the seven? It is a “special trump” for a “special purpose?”)
17. The dead carnal natures of the saved are raised.
18. The living saved souls are caught up with those previously raised.
19. They are together with the Lord.
20. The 7th angel sounds and there are great voices in heaven making a proclamation.
21. This proclamation declares the coming fact of the kingdoms of this earthly world are about to become under the Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
22. The nations of the earthly world are angry, because the wrath of God is about to take place.
23. Before the wrath occurs, there is a time of the judging of the dead and to distribute rewards in the spiritual kingdom.
24. The purpose of the wrath of God will be to destroy those of humanity who have morally corrupted the earth. (And should destroy them which destroy the earth.) The Greek word for the second English word “destroy” has to do with morality. It can be translated as: and destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused it to become thoroughly rotten.
25. The temple of God is made visible to the Apostle John.
26. On the earth, there are certain geological events: and there were lightning and voices, and thundering and an earthquake, and great hail.
7th Trumpet: And the seventh angel sounded the blast of a trumpet; and there were great and mighty tones of sounds and voices in heaven, saying; The royalty of rule and the realm of the kingdoms of this orderly arrangement of the world, including its’ inhabitants, are become the kingdoms of our Lord and Master, the One in Supreme Authority and of His Christ, the Anointed One; and He shall reign and rule as King forever and ever, as the age of the Messianic period, to the perpetual ages of ages. And the four and twenty elders of the celestial council, who sat before, in the sight and in the presence of the very exceeding God on their seats, fell upon their faces and worshipped Deity; the very exceeding great God and made adoration to Him, Saying, We give thee thanks and express gratitude to Thee, O Lord, Supreme One in Authority, Deity; God Almighty, All-Ruling One, Omnipotent and Absolute, Universal Sovereign, which art Being, and was I, and art to come; because you have taken by force and miraculous power; to thee, thy great and mighty power, and have begun to reign and rule as King. And the nations and the human race of all pagans, are provoked and enraged to anger; and thy justifiable, violent wrath and punishment is come; and the proper time of the dead, that they should be judged and to give payment for service, hire, wages and rewards unto thy slaves, bond servants the prophet, those inspired speakers and to the saints, the set apart ones and them that are in awe and fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused it to become thoroughly rotten. And the temple of Deity; the very exceeding great God; was opened in the abode of heaven and there was seen and appeared in His shrine and temple, the sacred ark of His contract, covenant and testament; and there were bright, glaring, shining lightning; and a tone of sounds, noises, voices and thundering; and an earthquake, a shaking, a commotion and tempest; and exceedingly great, large, mighty hail. [Rev. 11:15-19].

7th Vial: And the seventh angel poured out his broad shallow cup and vial into the blowing air; and there came a great and mighty voice out of the shrine and temple of the sky of heaven, from the abode of God, from the throne of power, saying: “It is done!” “It hath come!” And there were voices and noises, sounds of a tone; and roaring thunders, and a bright, shining glare, lightning’s; and there was an exceeding great, large and mighty earthquake and earth-shock; a shaking of the ground, a commotion and tempest; such as this, so vast of a magnitude; such as was not since human beings were upon the earth; so mighty an earthquake, and so exceedingly great, large and mighty, so full of power. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the Gentile, heathen and pagan people fell down: and great Babylon, the capital of tyranny, came in remembrance as to recall, to be mindful to punish, before Deity; the very exceeding great God; to give unto her the cupful of the wine of the passionate fierceness and indignation of His wrath. And every and all; even the whole of isles and islands fled away and vanished; and the mountains, as lifting itself above the plain, were not and could not be obtained or found; and there descended and fell upon human beings, a great, large and mighty hail out of the sky of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent-like: and human beings blasphemed, defamed and spoke evil of Deity; the very exceeding great God; because of the plague, stroke and calamity of the hail; for the plague, stroke and calamity thereof was exceeding and vehemently, in high degree, very great; for it was extremely severe and terrible. [Rev.16:17-21].

Check out these two Websites to see how God will use the “blood like-substance” or the “blood of the earth” to put an end to the gross immorality of humanity… When the great earthquakes really begin to happen, the surface of the earth will crack open and the “burning hot magma” from the interior of the earth will literally “burn” humanity from off the surface of the earth… God will use the earth to bring about the fulfillment of His Biblical Prophecies…
