Just Before Joy

In Rev 11:15 the simple declaration of the long awaited act of the sounding of the

angel with the seventh trumpet takes place. That message brings the total of the

seven trumpet, or public, messages to a conclusion. That trumpet sounds on the

day after the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which day is then the eighth

day from the beginning of that feast. The eighth day is when the holy

convocation, or assembly occurs. See Lev 23:36. As the sixth trumpet on the

first day of Feast of Ingathering/Tabernacles announced the fact that the Church

is complete; so the eighth day message of the seventh trumpet confirms that

fact, for the eighth day follows the first feast day, just as a confirmation follows

an announcement. That seventh trumpet message, after the feast of seven days

ends, has the same significance here as that of circumcision of a male on the

eighth day after his birth. The declaration is, the tabernacling of the Church in

the flesh is over, their flesh is "cut off" today, which day began on Oct 9th at

sundown and continued on Oct 10 until sundown, and the Church will enter into

her Spirit nature reward. As the firstborn male is circumcised on the eighth day:

so are the Firstborn members of the Body of Christ; their flesh is removed.

Because the seventh trumpeter is a part of the Bride, the Church, his flesh is cut

off that same day, though after the trumpet sounds.

Elijah, who represented God’s elect, and especially at the end of the Gospel Age,

was removed from life (“The elders obtained a good report...These all died in

faith, Heb 11:2,13) on a specific day, one that was known to Elijah, Elisha and to

the sons of the prophets. In fulfillment, the scholars and clerics of Israel who

have embraced Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah, will be able to say to the Little

Sister class, “Do you know that the last of the Bride class will leave earth today,

the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles?” And the Little Sister class will be

able to respond, “Yes, we know. Hold your peace.” These know because it is

revealed to them here.

In addition to the foregoing, the seventh trumpet message is the last "woe" to be

heralded, which message is really for the leaders of the nominal Christian church

system. Thus the seventh trumpeter loudly proclaims, “If any man worship the

beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the

same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without

mixture into the cup of his indignation: and he shall be tormented with fire and

brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

and the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no

rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives

the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints that keep the

commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus,” Rev 14:9-12. But note, the

punishment above is mentioned for those who follow. What about those who

lead?

Exodus 23:2 states, “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to (do) evil.” Deu 13:6-10

states, “If ...(one) entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods,…

of the gods of the people which are round about you,...thou shalt not consent,

nor hearken unto him...but thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first

upon him to put him to death….” If the people are punished severely by following

wrong doing, how much more those who perpetrated the error! Thus, the

foregoing is the basis for the “woe” to the leaders of the nominal (in name only)

Christian church. They are the ones who form the image of the beast, Rev 13:14,

and they are the ones to whom the “woe” is addressed. If the followers are

“tormented,” and if the followers have “no rest day nor night,” just think what

conditions will be like for those who instigated the ordeal! According to the

principle in Deu 13:6-10, they will be destroyed from life. And just so does the

Book of Revelation, and Romans 9 tell us.

Because it is a trumpet message, it is for the public to hear, though they do not

necessarily understand all the significance of that proclamation. This message is

also for the benefit of the Little Sister class that they also might be warned of the

consequences of such participation. This second class will know of the

significance of these Revelation texts, for that will be given to them and to the

Hebrew peoples separately as a second message. This announcement is spoken

before the facts of the work of the second beast and the image of the first beast

are in effect. Thus, the proclamation is both a warning and it is prophetic of what

will soon occur.

The tense structure of this proclamation is one of present/ongoing and upcoming.

That places the context of this verse in relationship to Rev 13:11, "And I beheld

another beast coming up out of the earth." Because of advance understanding

from pertinent parts of Revelation of when the beast comes out of the abyss, the

proclamation of warning is made while the beast is on the rise, "coming up."

Another part of the seventh trumpet message is that of “crying with a loud voice

to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come

for thee to reap: for the harvest of the earth is ripe,” Rev 14:15. Though this

statement may rankle the ears and noses of many in the Little Sister class, they

will do well to remember where they are. The understanding of these texts will

also be given to them as a message separate from here. However, we point out

here, that it certainly is time for our Lord to reap a ripe class.

Yet another part of the message of the last trumpet is to announce Babylon’s

destruction. The full announcement follows: “A mighty angel took up a stone like

a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that

great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the

voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no

more at all in thee; and no craftsman of whatsoever craft he be shall be found

any more in thee, and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in

thee; and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee: for thy

merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations

deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all

that were slain upon the earth,” Rev 18:21-24.

We note here that the angel equates the throwing down of the stone into the sea

with Babylon’s destruction, with violence. All boulder size stones that are cast

into water create a huge splash with large ripples of disturbance that flow

outward of the epicenter of impact. Thus, society will feel the effects of her

demise. Not only that, the stone sinks to the bottom, and is not recovered. Thus

Babylon sinks to rise no more, ever. We would be inclined to say, “The sooner

the splash, the better,” but alas, no. God’s timetable is always perfect. When

she is destroyed, it will be the precise moment for the best outcome of all of

earth’s participants. Until then, we wait.

A careful observation of the wording of the texts tells us at face value, that this is

not a trumpet message for the public, for no loud proclamation was made, nor

any loud voice used in telling it. Why then have we included it here? The proof

will be revealed to the Little Sister class and to the Hebrew peoples separately,

but suffice it to say for now, we have the authority of an Apostle of the Lamb for

speaking this forth as a trumpet message. Aside from that, mankind as a whole,

the nation of Israel and all her people around the globe, and the Little Sister class

all need to hear that God will render a violent end to the whore Babylon. It will

be her just (righteous) repayment for all that she has committed and sponsored.

It is the privilege of the seventh trumpeter to make that declaration, for it

appears that the whore will instigate the death of that same individual, Rev 8:10.

Rev 10:7 is not a sounding, but a reference to one upcoming, the seventh.

Surprisingly, the seventh trumpet message is the shortest of all of them, yet it

carries the full weight of all that it was designed to bear: 1) announce the fact

that the Church leaves her flesh behind the very day the message is proclaimed

publicly; 2) speak forth the information that establishes why the message is a

“woe” to the leaders of the false church; 3) proclaim to our Lord that it is time to

reap the harvest of the earth; and 4) announce Babylon’s soon destruction as

violent, and with no resurgence.

As a last note, we encourage all, of every nation, kindred and tongue to pick up

the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, and to pursue it diligently. It is the only book in

the world that can tell you what is happening now, what will occur soon, and what

good events will follow the wreck of this present evil order. If you do not own a

Bible, pick up a quality edition today, and begin your journey with God.
