Revelation 9: [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.
Revelation 16: [10] 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, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation 9: [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. [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.
This sixth vial from the following verses occurs after the Rapture of the saved and is a continuation with increasing effects. This event takes place towards the last few weeks of the Wrath of God.
Revelation 16: [12] 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. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The Euphrates river is located at it’s beginning in the mountains of Turkey and flows though Syria and Iraq then into the Persian Gulf.

From the previous trumpet, we learn the pathway to the “bottomless pit” has been opened, which are volcanic vents, leading downward into the earth’s 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.”
01. The trumpet of the sixth angel announces: “Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.”
02. For a specific time period: “which were prepared for an hour, and a day,and a month, and a year.” For an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year—rather as Greek, “for (that is, against) THE hour, and day, and month, and year,” namely, appointed by God. The Greek article, put once only before all the periods, implies that the hour in the day, and the day in the month, and the month in the year, and the year itself, had been definitely fixed by God.
03. For one propose: “for to slay the third part of men.”
In this description:
01. There are horses.
02. There are demonic beings sitting upon the horses.
03. These demonic beings have breastplates of fire and of jacinth and brimstone.
04. The heads of the horses were like lions and out of their mouth issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
05. The third part of men was killed by fire and by the smoke and brimstone.
06. Their power is in their mouth to use fire, smoke and brimstone.
07. They have tails, which also have heads and have the ability to hurt humans.
This demonic rider will kill a certain number of people in the region of the Euphrates river who have performed the following acts: Revelation 9: [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.

-
[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.
Revelation 14
- [10] 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:

The Dead Sea Fault Zone and the East Anatolian Fault Zone through Turkey, along with the Zagros Thrust Zone will receive tremendous earthquake activity during the Great Tribulation Period. This earthquake activity will collapse the weak land structure in the northeastern section of Syria and the Euphrates River will be diverted southwest into the Jordan River Valley.
It will focus upon a single phrase in Revelation 16:12. 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.
Notice, the vial was poured out upon: “the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.”
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, if this 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 30 days, it leaves 75 days in which the saved will still be on the earth during this 6thtrumpet 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.
Revelation 9: [12] One woe is past; and,behold, there come two woes more hereafter. [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.
From the previous trumpet, we learn the pathway to the “bottomless pit” has been opened, which are volcanic vents, leading downward into the earth’s 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.”
The Euphrates river is located at its’ beginning in the mountains of Turkey and flows though Syria and Iraq then into the Persian Gulf
The headwaters of the Euphrates River begin in the mountains of Turkey.
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 land of Syria has many earthquake faults and a massive earthquake will collapse the Palmyride folds, which will allow the Euphrates River to flow southwest towards Israel.
Check out these links for information about the Palmyride Folds:
***
These geological changes will begin, when the Antichrist or the Islamic leader of the ten Arab confederation of nations attack the nation of Israel.
Ezekiel 38:[17] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? [18] And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. [19] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
When the Euphrates River is diverted southwest through the collapsed Palmyride folds, it 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.
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.
When the Islamic 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 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.
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.
The Jordan River is a river in Southwest Asia flowing through the Great Rift Valley into the Dead Sea. Historically and religiously, it is considered to be one of the world’s most sacred rivers.
It is 156 miles long. Its tributaries are:
The Hasbani, which flows from Lebanon.
The Banias, arising from a spring at Banias at the foot of Mount Hermon.
The Dan, whose source is also at the base of Mount Hermon.
The Iyon, which flows from Lebanon.
The four merge to form the Jordan in northern Israel, near kibbutz Sede Nehemya. The river drops rapidly in a 75 kilometer run to swampy Lake Hula, which is slightly below seal level in the Galilee Sea. Exiting the lake, it drops much more in about 25 kilometers to the Sea of Galilee. The last section has less gradient, and the river begins to meander before it enters the Dead Sea, which is about 400 meters below sea level and has no outlet.
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.”
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.
The Gulf of Aqaba is a branch of the Red Sea, running to the east of the Sinai Peninsula and west of the Arabian mainland, touching Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The gulf is 160 km long, and has a maximum width of 24 km. The gulf passes through the Straits of Tiran at its junction with the Red Sea. Geologically, the Gulf of Aqaba is part of the Rift Valley that runs through most of eastern Africa.
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.
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.
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.
What can we learn from these verses of Scripture and try to make some practical “common sense” of the matter:
01. There are seven angels standing before God.
02. Apparently, it would be correct to assume, it is God personally who has given a trumpet to each of the seven angels.
03. The seven angels each have a trumpet and at a certain time period in the future, are ready to sound the trumpet.
04. The 1st angel sounds: Revelation 8: [7] The first angel sounded.
05. The 2nd angel sounds: Revelation 8: [8] And the second angel sounded.
08. The 5th angel sounds: Revelation 9: [1] And the fifth angel sounded.
09. 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. (Is this a new trump or is a trumpet already given to one of the angels?)
17. The dead carnal natures of the saved are raised.
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 shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.) The Greek word for the second English word “destroy” has to do with morality.
25. The temple of God is made visible to the Apostle John.
For the purpose of this study, the focus will be upon the phrase:
And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
A composite of 14 various English translations for this phrase:
Lightnings: astrape as-trap-ay’to flash as lightning, to glare, lighten or shine.
Voices: phone fo-nay’the tone of a sound, noise or voice.
Thunderings: bronte bron-tay’ (to roar); thunder.
Earthquake: seismos sice-mos’to rock (vibrate), move, quake, shake. A commotion, i.e. (Of the ground) an earthquake:–earthquake, tempest.
Great: megas meg’-as(+ fear) exceedingly, great (-est), high, large, mighty, + (be) sore (afraid), strong.
Hail: chalaza khal’-ad-zah to lower (as into a void): to let down from a higher place to a lower; hail. [Greek khalaza, hard lump, hailstone.]
And there were glaring flashes of lightning, the sound and noise of roaring thunder, a moving, shaking and vibration of the ground, an earthquake with great and mighty falling hard lumps of hail.
What is Hail: calaza chalaza khal’-ad-zah to lower (as into a void): to let down from a higher place to a lower; hail. [Greek: khalaza, hard lump, hailstone.] “falling hard lumps of hail”.

Believers – The Time is MORE than Ripe to Unite with a Local Church
That is still teaching “The” Faith Once delivered to the First Churches
The RAPTURE of ALL BELIEVERS is NO LONGER a FAR distance Event
Hear The Everlasting Gospel to Worship God Before The Rapture Event
Revelation 14:6,7 – And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and GIVE GLORY to him; for the hour of HIS JUDGMENT is come: and WORSHIP him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
THIS IS A WARNING TO HEED HIS WORD BEFORE THE RAPTURE
Revelation 14:12-16 – Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. [13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. [14] And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. [15] And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: FOR THE TIME IS COME TO REAP; for the harvest of the earth IS RIPE. [16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
THIS IS THE SEVENTH TRUMPET RAPTURE
Revlation 11:15-18 – 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 for ever and ever. [16] And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, [17] Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
DON’T BE CAUGHT OUT OF CHURCH AT THE RAPTURE
Revelation 11:11-14 – And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. [12] And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. [13] And THE SAME HOUR was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe COMETH QUICKLY.
THE RAPTURE OCCURS ON TRUMP 7 ON THE SAME DAY – IT OCCURS BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, i.e. THE SAME HOUR, QUICKLY, REVELATION 15.
Revelation 11:15 – 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 for ever and ever.
AS A SYNOPTIC ANALYST I CAN TELL YOU THERE IS NO WAY I HAVE EVER OR SHALL EVER BE ABLE TO PREDICT THE PRECISE TIME OF THE RAPTURE – AS BELIEVERS HE WANTS OUR FAITH AND SERVICE TO GROW IN OUR PATIENCE WHILE WE WAIT FOR HIS COMING FOR BELIEVERS BEFORE THE SEVENTH TRUMPET – AS BELIEVERS OUR ATTITUDE NOW SHOULD BE THE SAME AS ESTHERS, “IF I PERISH I PERISH.”
THIS IS THE PATIENCE OF THE SAVED BEFORE THE 7 WRATH VIALS
Revelation 14:12 – Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. [13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. [14] And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. [15] And another angel came out of the temple, 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. [16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE RAPTURE OF ALL BELIEVERS
Revelation 14:17-21 – And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. [19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
