The “Great Alarm Bell”: Revelation 9

And the fifth Angel from God sounded and a star fell from Heaven to earth and the sun and the air were darkened. Out of the pit came Locusts. These locusts were given the power of scorpions. But is was commanded that they not hurt the grass or the trees or anything green,but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

The scorpions were also told that they could not kill anyone, but only torment them for 5 months.

Revelation 9:6 goes on to say:

“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it…”

But remember, the Locusts could not hurt the men who had the seal of God on their foreheads!

And then a third of the men were killed.

And yet, still, some did not repent…

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready…

The “Great Alarm Bell”: Revelation 8

Revelation 8 is a very serious Revelation. We know this because it starts with the Words:

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”-Revelation 8:1

From this, we know the seriousness of what is too come. The Angels chosen by God did as they were told. There were voices, thunder and lightening and an earthquake.

There are four additional events that happen in Revelation 8. They were:

  1. Hail and fire mingled with blood are cast upon the earth. A third of the trees were burnt up and all of the green grass.
  2. A great burning mountain was cast into the sea and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the creatures in the sea died and a third of the ships were destroyed.
  3. A great start named Wormwood fell from the heaven. It fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters. It made the waters bitter and many died.
  4. A third part of the sun received a firm blow, as well as a third of the moon and a third of the stars. And so it was, since a third of them were darkened, both the day and night also were darkened for a third.

Perhaps of even more concern is the way that Revelation 8 ends:

“And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!”-Revelation 8:13

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

The “Great Alarm Bell”: Revelation 7

In Chapter 7, it speaks of the four Angels that will be sent to hold “the four winds”. And a fifth Angel is sent, bearing the Seal of God, to tell them not to hurt the Earth, the Sea and the Trees until till the servants of God have been “sealed”.

β€œDo not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” – Revelations 7:3

Revelation 7 also goes on to describe the special place that those who “come out of the great tribulation” will have with God in Heaven.

Never forget, while The Great Tribulation is a time of great punishment, it is also a time of great reward!

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!

The “Great Alarm Bell”: Revelation 6

While Praying the Rosary, I again saw the Red and Black Horses..

The Red Horse-Revelations, chapter 6, verse 4:

β€œAnother horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.”

Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan, North and South Korea. How long before more countries are drawn in?

The Black Horse – Revelations, chapter 6, verses 5 & 6:

β€œWhen He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, β€œCome and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, β€œA quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

For months, we have read articles about the rising food prices and the coming food shortage. It’s real and it’s coming!

Pray, Prepare and Be Ready!

The “Great Alarm Bell”

β€œThe conscience of a man, when he is really quickened and awakened by the Holy Spirit, speaks the truth. It rings the great alarm bell. And if he turns over in his bed, that great alarm bell rings out again and again, β€˜The wrath to come! The wrath to come! The wrath to come.’” -Charles Spurgeon

“God’s justice stands forever against the sinner in utter severity. The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.” – Charles Spurgeon

“Idolatry (making a god to suit ourselves) leads to a dulled conscience:” – A.W. Tozer

These pastors knew how to preach. Sadly, there are too many today that want to make God “acceptable” to their attendants. They focus on raising money, rather than raising righteous souls!

The Book of Revelation is the “alarm bell” of the future. We need to heed it’s warnings, before it is too late!

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

A Warning & A Reward :)

Thank You!

“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. ThenΒ many false prophets will rise up andΒ deceive many.Β  Β And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will growΒ cold.Β  But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” – Matthew 24:10-13

Sounds a lot like today. But it may be a slower process than we think for there is one verse in the Bible that lets us know that the end may not be quite yet:

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” – Matthew 24:14

However, we do not know when the day and hour is that Jesus will return, so we need to Be Ready:

Β But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”-Matthew 24:36

So we need to Prepare, Pray and Be Ready, because it will come!

Heaven & Prayer

While Praying the Rosary, I saw a bit of Heaven πŸ™‚

There is a white Cross in bright light up on the top of the hill. The entire hill is covered in light. The hill floor itself is covered in the greenest grass I ever saw. A thick carpet of grass. There is no pain there. And there is no fatigue. And as I knelt with Mary to pray, I saw that the hill had people kneeling in prayer to Jesus all over the hill. And I saw others that I know were definitely still alive on earth praying there as well.

Difficult times are coming, ask Jesus how to go there to rest and to pray.

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready πŸ™‚

Mary, our Blessed Mother Gives Us So Many Gifts :)

Thank You!

God does indeed give us the Gift of Wisdom and Knowledge, and Mary often gives us the courage and confidence to share it :). God often gives us the Gift of Courage, and Mary often comforts us in our fears. And when we are in pain or in a panic, Mary can sooth our pain and anxiety. God loves us and so does Mary πŸ™‚

There are many that miss out when they do not ask Mary to pray for them! For Mary always points the way to Her Son and She always Prays for us!.

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!
