THE SECOND WOE

Truth is always strange; Stranger than fiction

Revelation 11.1-14
1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.
2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the Earth.”
Two olive trees
In my book “COVID WAR revelation 6 – 7 Seals” I showed that the Hurt not the Oil and the Wine was hurt not the Human body – don’t take the vaccines. Here God again is using the Muscular Vascular system to identify the human body.
The Human body as Two olive trees

The Human body as a lampstand

Matthew 5.15
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

God who has put the light of the Holy Ghost in those that asked for the Holy Spirit has himself put the light into these two witnesses with power and might to be a light to the world for 1260 days. He has made them His lampstand shining His light – His mystery – being revealed.

Revelation 11 continued:

5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the Earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.
9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.
10 The inhabitants of the Earth will gloat over them (via TV and Internet) and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the Earth.
11 But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe Earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.

It seems that during the time between Trumpet Six and Trumpet seven the people are encouraged to take the mark of the beast as a voluntarily thing to do. Possibly encouraged like the people were with the vaccines….”it’s the right thing to do” we were told, “those who don’t are being selfish” [hateful speech from the media we hear]. Edict and mandates issued which were not laws. The fear and mongering campaign from the paid and allegedly bribed politicians and heads of corporations was great.
However, after a time when the catastrophes are exhausted and before the last evil thought Revelation 13.14-17 will be made law.

Revelation 13.14-17 akjv
14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the Earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived as researched in my book “ANTICHRIST REVEALED” ,

15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,

17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

The QR codes displays images and it sounds as if Revelation 13.15 the final fulfillment will be to hit the pay button or maybe even a compliance – worship button on the ipad or phone or some other device.
We have seen that the second woe is sometime between or at the same time or sometime of overlay between the sixth and seventh trumpet. It is reasonable to suggest that the third woe is Trumpet number seven.
China’s power has been reduced as we saw in Trumpet number seven and we are still left with the First beast, the Second beast, the false prophet (allegedly being the Pope) and now we have Apollyon and possibly Satan on Earth to tolerate until God puts all of Jesus’ enemies at His footstool. The question is then what about Russia vs NATO – EU and UK and USA and what about the hatred that the EU has for the UK? In Trumpet number seven I and my team try to expound on these things and please note the timings may need adjusting. We need to constantly pray for guidance in Holy Faith.
