God Has A Plan Pt 5                                                                 
I know the plans I have for you!

Matthew 24:3-7  As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

The End Times Take A Long Time From Our Perspective
All these are the beginning of birth pains…
Revelation 1:3  Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, blessed are those who hear it & take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

Revelation 22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:10  Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.

Revelation 22:12  “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.

Revelation 22:20  He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

The Seventh Seal Silences Heaven
Revelation 8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

The Seven Seals
1-white horse-False Christs                              
2-red horse-War                                                 
3-black horse-inflation                                       
4-pale horse-death, plague, famine
5-Martyrs under the alter
6-Revelation 6:12-7:17
7-seven trumps

The Seventh Seal Reveals Seven Angelic Trumpet Blasts
Revelation 8:2  I saw the seven angels who stand before God and to them were given seven trumpets.

SEVENTH SEAL
The Prayers Of The Saints Are Answered
Revelation 8:3-5  Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and hurled it on the earth and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Trumpet Blasts Prepared

Trumpet I -Hail/Fire/Blood
Result on Earth:  1/3 Tree Destruction 100% Grass
Revelation 8:7  The first angel sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up and all the green grass was burned up.

Trumpet II-The Fiery Mountain Judgement
Result on Earth:  1/3 of Sea Creatures and Ships are Destroyed
Revelation 8:8-9  The second angel sounded his trumpet and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Trumpet III– Wormwood Star
Result on Earth:  1/3 of Earth’s Water Turned Bitter
Revelation 8:10-11  The third angel sounded his trumpet and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water; the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Trumpet IV– Natural Light Struck
Result on Earth:  1/3 of All-Natural Light Turned Off
Revelation 8:12  The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light and also a third of the night.

An Angelic Warning Concerning The Last Three Trumps
Revelation 8:13  As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

Revelation 15:3-4  Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages. Who will not fear you, O Lord and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed!
