Warnings and Dreams

Colossians 1:28 .... warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Revelation 11:17 - 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.

We have been hearing much recently about the moral decline ( homosexual marriage, LGBT pride, abortion and slaughter of many babies, rampant pornography, adultery, fornication, hatred toward God' people and the nation of Israel, etc ) in America and other parts of the world and how these things will bring about strong discipline and judgment from the Lord. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has been warning of the Shemitah and how America is following a path to destruction. I believe these warnings to be accurate and that we need to all re-examine our hearts and make sure we are walking in the fear of the Lord, pleasing Him in all we do and say. But I felt I had not personally heard from the Lord on these things, for me it was just listening to Bible teachers and hearing God speak through  them. I began to desire for the Lord to make these things clear to me personally. God is so faithful and He is always ready and willing to speak into our hearts as we seek Him. So now I believe He has given me some insight personally through dreams. I have now had two dreams. The first dream was a week or so ago. In my dream I overheard a conversation between two people that I know. They are both members of the church that I attend. The man spoke first and wanted to discuss the events about to take place - events regarding judgments of the Lord that are soon to come upon us. Then the woman spoke and said that regardless of what happens, we are to stay focused on the Lord and to remember that the Lord is in control. All that will happen is in His hand and we are safe with Him. I woke up and I told my husband about my dream and that I believe the Lord had revealed this to me because I was seeking confirmation from Him. Now this past night I had a dream again. It was shocking to me and I woke up from it knowing that it was from the Lord. I dreamed I was outside. It was a cloudy day. I heard the sound of a large airplane, it was flying above the clouds. Then I heard the sound of an explosion and as I looked toward the east, I saw the clouds drop from the sky as though it were a large sheet and it the place of the cloud was a ball of fire. I ran into the house,(  there were more people here at our place than our immediate family ), people were scurrying about getting provisions. The hydro electricity was still on so I ran to turn on the TV to see what had happened. There was no news on it yet, as the event had just taken place. I was shocked to know that this attack had happened in Canada - somehow I was only thinking of attacks in the USA.  I woke up in a state of shock, I looked at my alarm clock and the time was 3:20 AM. I felt strongly that the Lord has revealed this to me. It seemed to possibly be a nuclear attack. I do not know what all that this means, I do not know time frames or exact places but  I do believe the Lord is speaking. I feel these two dreams go hand in hand. 

I just really feel it is important that I document this. 
Trust in the Lord - Get right with Him!

Gay Marriage in USA....judgment is sure

Yesterday was a very sad day in the history of the USA. The Supreme court ruled that homosexual marriage is now legal all across America. This is in direct opposition to God and His Word the Bible. I want to post a few articles written by credible men of faith who are saying the God's judgment is sure.

Franklin Graham on his Facebook page says :

The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled today that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. With all due respect to the court, it did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it.

Long before our government came into existence, marriage was created by the One who created man and woman—Almighty God—and His decisions are not subject to review or revision by any man made court. God is clear about the definition of marriage in His Holy Word: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).

I pray God will spare America from His judgment, though, by our actions as a nation, we give Him less and less reason to do so.

BLOG POST: "URGENT: Supreme Court’s Trifecta of Sin and Rebellion Now Complete" 06/26/15
http://defendproclaimthefaith.org/blog/?p=34692

This month the US Supreme Court completed a perfect trifecta against God and has seal the doom of America. First it was touching Jerusalem, then it was a pro abortion decision, and now tampering with God’s holy institution of marriage.

It is over now the blessings of God with America. There is only judgment after judgment coming upon America. Only a tiny remnant of believers walk in the fear of the Lord. The rest are playing spiritual games. The games are about to come to an abrupt end.

This Supreme Court of sin declared war on God! Please get your house in order because terrible judgments are on the way and soon.

See my teaching about what triggers God’s righteous judgments on a nation:
http://www.defendproclaimthefaith.org/homosexuality_and_god…

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/i-fear-judgment-befalling-america/

Even though Friday’s re-definition of marriage by the U. S. Supreme Court was anticipated, I have found myself grieving over its implications for my country and for Western civilization itself. This radical decree will have a devastating affect on every dimension of culture.

I grieve most for what it will do to our children, our grandchildren and future generations. They will be taught that right is wrong and wrong is right, and that the teachings of Scripture are unreliable and inaccurate. How outrageous it is that boys and girls barely out of babyhood are already being introduced in some schools to perverse adult behavior.

Soon, public school textbooks throughout the country will be re-written and re-illustrated to conform to today’s ruling. It matters not that these revisions will contradict the beliefs and convictions of their parents. It will soon become the law of the land.

Many more vulnerable kids will grow up in homes with same-sex parents, obviously lacking either masculine or feminine role models. They are the real victims of the Court’s ruling.

Adults will suffer, too. I believe a barrage of court cases has already been planned against those who hold to politically incorrect views of marriage. Many of us will be dragged into court to be prosecuted or subjected to civil judgments. Some will lose their jobs, while others forfeit their businesses. Some will be persecuted and ridiculed and fined. Some may go to prison as the years unfold. Since same-sex marriage has now been determined to be a universal human right by the highest court in the land, it will trump religious liberty, churches, seminaries, Christian schools, businesses and a host of individual liberties. I also fear that judgment will befall this once great nation.

Here is the question of the hour. The organization I lead, Family Talk, is in accord with the National Organization for Marriage. This is an excerpt of its editorial released Friday:

We reject this decision and so will the American people. It represents nothing but judicial activism, legislating from the bench, with a bare majority of the Justices on the Supreme Court exercising raw political power to impose their own preferences on marriage when they have no constitutional authority to do so. It is a lawless ruling that contravenes the decisions of over 50 million voters and their elected representatives. It is a decision that is reminiscent of other illegitimate Court rulings such as Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade and will further plunge the Supreme Court into public disrepute.

Make no mistake about it: The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) [and my organization, Family Talk] and countless millions of Americans do not accept this ruling. Instead, we will work at every turn to reverse it.

The U.S. Supreme Court does not have the authority to redefine something it did not create. Marriage was created long before the United States and our constitution came into existence. Our constitution says nothing about marriage. The majority who issued today’s ruling have simply made it up out of thin air with no constitutional authority.

In his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. Martin Luther King discussed the moral importance of disobeying unjust laws, which we submit applies equally to unjust Supreme Court decisions. Dr. King evoked the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas that an unjust law or decision is one that is “a human law that is not rooted in eternal law or natural law.”

Today’s decision of the Supreme Court lacks both constitutional and moral authority. There is no eternal or natural law that allows for marriage to be redefined.

Today’s decision is by no means the final word concerning the definition of marriage; indeed it is only the beginning of the next phase in the struggle. NOM is committed to reversing this ruling over the long term and ameliorating it over the short term.

Speaking now for our organization, Family Talk, I believe it is time for this nation to hold State Constitutional Conventions, which would allow certain provisions within the Constitution to be reaffirmed. Among these possibilities would be a provision to set term limits on judges and justices. Another clause would limit the scope of their power. Unelected, unaccountable judges would no longer override the other two co-equal branches of government. Finally, language would be inserted to restore what Abraham Lincoln referred to in his Gettysburg Address as government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Wouldn’t that be a novel idea in the 21st century?

I’ll end my comments by quoting the final words from the Manhattan Declaration, written by the late Charles Colson, professor Robby George and Dr. Timothy George. They wrote:

“… Because we honor justice and the common good, we will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti-life act; nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or refrain from proclaiming the truth, as we know it, about morality and immorality and marriage and the family. We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. But under no circumstances will we render to Caesar what is God’s.”

Ebola cases could reach 1.4 million by January 2015

In Matthew 24 Jesus warns us that times will get very difficult here on earth  before His return. I believe we are seeing these things beginning to take place and we need to prepare our hearts for what lies ahead.

Matthew 24:3-14 ( from Biblegateway.com 

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

The following article is from Aljazeera News. You can link to the story on their website here - Aljazeera Ebola cases could reach 1.4m next year

New report suggests Ebola cases could rise in the coming months if urgent measures are not taken to curb the outbreak. Last updated: 24 Sep 2014 10:15 LISTEN

Increased health measures may prove critical in stopping the predicted spike in Ebola cases [Reuters].

Ebola cases could reach 1.4 million by late January 2015, up from the current total of 5,800, according to a new study by a US medical agency. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report on Tuesday suggesting that Ebola cases could increase to between 550,000 and 1.4 million in four months, based on several factors including how many people are infected by Ebola carriers. The report questions whether the official number of deaths recorded by the World Health Organisation, 2,800 out of at least 5,800 Ebola cases, has been underreported. CDC has said it is likely that 2.5 times as many cases, or nearly 20,000, have occurred so far. "Extensive, immediate actions - such as those already started - can bring the epidemic to... a rapid decline in cases," said CDC in a statement. Infographic: Just how deadly is Ebola? Effective measures? Sierra Leone, one of the five west African countries affected by the Ebola outbreak, is considering another nationwide lockdown to slow the spread of the disease, following a three-day quarantine last week, in which they say they confirmed 130 cases and are awaiting tests on another 70.. President Ernest Bai Koroma said on local radio on Tuesday that he was "mainly satisfied with the whole process, as it has helped reaching more homes and bringing to the fore many sick people and corpses". The unprecedented nation-wide lockdown saw visits to more than one million households that were given information on the disease. "It's important for African governments to innovate and find new ways of getting messages out to the people," David Heymann, an Ebola expert, told Reuters news agency. Ongoing efforts to tackle the disease may hamper its spread. The report released by CDC does not account for measures recently announced by the US. The US plans to send 3,000 members of its armed forces to the region as well as training 500 healthcare workers per week. Nonetheless, experts from the WHO said on Tuesday that the outbreak could reach 20,000 recorded cases as soon as early November if rigorous control measures are not put in place. In August, the WHO predicted it would take until the middle of 2015 for the virus to strike 20,000. Meanwhile on Monday, the WHO said that outbreaks in Senegal and Nigeria were "pretty much contained". The following day on Tuesday, Sierra Leone's army announced that it had "sealed off" its borders with Liberia and Guinea in a bid to halt the spread of Ebola. Looking to the future, WHO's Director of Strategy Christopher Dye said that "this is a bit like weather forecasting. We can do it a few days in advance, but looking a few weeks or months ahead is very difficult." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a more indepth study of Matthew 24 please read my blog post End of the World or my blog post study from Revelations on the End time Judgments  Coming Judgments - Wrath of God

Sunday Sermon Review - Have you Accepted the Invitation?

Sunday Sermon Review - April 14, 2013 
( from my home church I attend regularly )

The service began with singing several songs including "You are Amazing God" and "It is Well With My Soul".
The Speaker today was Pastor Ben continuing on in our Matthew series.

Text was Matthew 22: 1-14And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,² The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,³ And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.⁴ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.⁵ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:⁶ And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.⁷ But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.⁸ Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.⁹ Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.¹⁰ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.¹¹ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:¹² And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.¹³ Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.¹⁴ For many are called, but few are chosen.

Here is some of what Pastor Ben said:

The story of our text is a story of warning of what will happen if Jesus is rejected.
The Kingdom of Heaven is described as "where God rules".
The wedding feast is a time of rejoicing. It would go on for days with celebrations and joy.
We see in our text that the people were invited but refused to come to the wedding.
The question we ask is - Why did they not want to come?
Refusing to come would be considered borderline rebellion against the King. 
The invited guests refuse to come causing the King to become enraged and he destroys all those who refused to come. Judgement came.

In verses 8-10 the King sends out his servant to invited anyone they can find to the wedding. The bad and the good were invited. Our attention is drawn to the man who came without wearing the wedding clothes. He never cleaned himself up for the wedding. This is disrespectful and rude.
He receives the due judgment and is thrown out.

There are consequences for our behavior.
Continual rejection of God leads to judgment.
People spit in the face of God thinking nothing will happen BUT there are consequences. SOMETHING is going to happen.

This is not about becoming more religious.
The Pharisees were like "religious on steroids".

We want justice in our world but we hesitate when it comes to us.
We can taste both heaven and hell before death.

The Invitation
The King invites people twice - this shows mercy and grace.
The King invites all people - the bad and the good. God shows mercy.

We are the ones God has invited - YOU have been invited.
We are invited to participate with God to be partners with Him in His Kingdom.

The choice is ours - 
We can reject - refuse the invitation and go about our daily tasks as though God didn't exist.
We can accept His invitation and receive the full benefits of the Kingdom.
We can accept but not let it change us at all.

We live out God's kingdom.
Our actions matter.
We cannot earn our salvation.

When we come to God - He changes us.
We accept God's mercy and pass it on to those around us.

We struggle sometimes to show mercy. Showing mercy is not an optional. We must not harden our hearts and we must not refuse to show mercy to others.
We must allow God to influence us.

Are we willing to change?
Have you accepted His invitation?
Is God challenging you today?

Questions and Answers from my Church

Sunday March 24, 2013 - Palm Sunday
Sunday Sermon Review ( from my home church that I attend regularly )

During this season of Lent, our Pastors invited the congregation to submit questions and so today was the day where the questions were answered.
The service began with singing "Lead me to the Cross" and How Great Thou Art".

Our Scripture passage was Mark 11:1-11 - the story of Palm Sunday

 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

Pastor Ben was our speaker today and here is some of what he said:
Question 1 - What role does repentance play?
Jesus died on the cross for our sin.
He loves us with an unconditional love.
We need to get a definition of the word repentance: it means to choose God, it is a decision that we make. We decide to choose Jesus over ourselves, we choose God above ourselves.
We choose to follow God because He loves us so.
Romans 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Love is action.

( Note from me - please also read a post I wrote on repentance - it is a good indepth study on repentance and what it looks like) link here -    http://livebyfaithonlinebiblestudies.blogspot.ca/2012/10/repentance-psalm-51.html

Question 2 - Why will we have to give an account of our actions and words on judgment day?
In our justice system, a person is judged either guilty or innocent
God's system works a little differently. It is about restoring relationship, repairing damage and fixing things.
In the Old Testament God sent judges. They proclaimed a message of repentance, for the people to change their ways.
We have forgiveness through the cross of Jesus. Jesus took the punishment we deserve.
The question becomes - How should I live since I've been declared innocent through the shed blood of Christ.
At the judgment, there will be rewards for what we have done here on earth.
God sees all that you do - God will reward us for what we do, even if no one else ever has seen it.
Our choices here ripple through eternity!
The judgement will be uncomfortable ( we must give account for every careless word ) but we must remember our Judge loves us. He is on our side!

Question 3 - We are taught to confess our sins to each other, how about confessing our sins to God?
Yes, we must confess our sins to God, name the sin and acknowledge it as sin before God.
Living the Christian life is not a "just me and God" thing - He wants us to do life together.

Question 4 - How do you find an accountability partner?
1) pray about it - God's Spirit lives with you so He will guide and direct
2) Take a risk - talk to someone and ask that person to be your accountability partner
( if someone asks you to be their accountability partner and you feel you cannot do it, then be kind enough to say "no" so they can find someone else who will actually be able to do it.
3) agree on some questions that will be asked - Meet on a set regular basis and ask these questions.

Question 5 - What does it look like to walk with a believer who disagrees with you about a right/wrong issue  especially if the Bible is very clear on this issue?
Ask your self if there is any possibility that you could be wrong.
Ask the person questions about the Scripture passage that this issue is based on/
Don't be condemning or judgmental
we must remember that a Christian is a person who has chosen to live his/her life for God
It does not mean that there will be doctrinal perfection.
We can have conversations with people who disagree with us.

The Holy Spirit's job is to convict of sin.
Billy Graham once said " my task is to bear witness, the Holy Spirit's task is to convict of sin and God the Father is the Judge."

The Holy Spirit is really good at His job!(Note from me - It is important that we remember that the Bible has authority in our lives and we must never back down from the truth found in Scripture. No matter who it is that is challenging us - the Bible will always have the final say in the matter and we will be wise to stand with the Bible and not against it at any time. )  

The reason people do not want to admit to the truth of Scripture is because then they will have to change!

Talk about things that matter - we need to get deeper than the weather and sports etc.
We are God's ambassadors - we challenge, we debate but always in the atmosphere of love and respect!

God has sent you to represent Jesus in your school, home, place of work!!

Obama Wins - What now??

Hebrews 10:30-31 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Many Christians are scratching their heads this morning wondering why or how God could allow Obama to be re-elected. I for one was hoping that Mitt Romney would be given the chance to turn America around, get people back to work and to slow down the progression of evil across the country. Some may be wondering what God has in store for America or if the US has already crossed the line and that God's judgment has already begun. Is the re-election of President Obama a clear picture of the moral state of the Christian chrurch in America? Do the majority of Christians not stand for the truth of the Bible any longer? The Bible clearly condemns homosexuality and abortion which are two areas in which President Obama opposes the Bible.
Is it possible that God is giving President Obama a second chance for very good reasons? As Christians we know that our heavenly Father is the God of second chances. We see this played out in the Bible in the story of Jonah, the disciple Peter and many others. When we have seriously messed up, many times God will give us another chance in order to repent and so avoid the judgment that otherwise would be our lot. So also it appears that God has given President Obama another chance to repent of his evil ways and to repent and undo the evil that he has put in place. If President Obama will do right in his second term, perhaps the country could still be spared. Perhaps Obama will come to see the evil of homosexual living and begin to work against gay marriage. Perhaps Obama will come to see that abortion is the murder of the innocent and in repentance he will have the chance to bring hope and protect the life of the innocent unborn. If President Obama continues on the path of promoting moral decay and decline across the country, it will be very painful to watch. Hold on to the Lord Jesus and trust Him with all that the future brings.
What to do? -  Choose to live for Christ in your own personal life regardless of what is popular in the country. And the other one thing that is very important is to pray, pray pray!!!
1 Timothy 2:1-3  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Coming Judgements and the Wrath of God....

Much is being said these days about the judgements of God and the coming wrath of God. It is described for us in the Bible in the book of Revelation. We can be sure that all that is written will be fullfilled. How do we know this? We know it because of the accuracy of things previously written and predicted in the Scriptures and all that has already taken place. God's track record is 100% in accuracy. He does what He says He will do and He does not change. Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not;
God's favor is on the nation of Israel and on the Jewish people. God is not favorable to peoples and nations that oppose His people or that would seek to destroy them. God promised the rebirth of the nation of Israel and it happened in 1948. God brought back the nation of Israel into their home land. Isaiah 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
War will break our in the middle east. It is only a matter of time. I want to take an overview look at the judgements and the wrath as described in Revelation. We don't know when these things will happen, but we can see the time drawing ever closer.
We know that the Antichrist will appear at the beginning time of the tribulation period. The Bible says that the Antichrist will make a peace treaty with Israel which he will break at the mid point of the 7 year tribulation period.
As you read the judgements and wraths described below, please make sure that you are ready to meet God. It is of most importance that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior - then come what may you are safe in the arms of Jesus.
So lets begin in Revelation 6 with the 7 Seal Judgements.
First Seal: the Antichrist makes his entrance as a rider on a white horse set out to conquer.
Second Seal:  War - a red horse comes and there is no peace, but people slaying one another
Third Seal : Famine - the black horse - the daily wage of a person will only be enough to feed one person.
Fourth Seal: Death - a pale horse - Revelation 6:8 And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Fifth Seal: Martyrdom - people slain for the Word of God  Rev 6:9 I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Sixth Seal: A great Earthquake, Sun  becomes black, moon becomes as blood, stars fall to the earth, sky is split apart
Seventh Seal: sets the stage for the Trumpet Judgements/Wraths

The 7 Trumpet Judgements/Wraths
We will see that in these wraths - nature is the first to feel the punishing judgements and then secondly it falls on people.

First Trumpet - Earth scorched - a third of the vegetation is burned ( earth, trees and all the green grass)
Second Trumpet - the Sea is smitten - a third of the sea becomes blood and creatures die and ships are destroyed.
Third Trumpet -  A Star named Wormwood falls into the fresh water supplies - a third of the rivers and on springs of water, People die from the bitter water.
Fourth Trumpet - Darkness -  a third of the sun, moon and stars  are struck that they do not shine
Fifth Trumpet - People are smitten  - locusts hurt only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. No one is killed by these locusts, but the locusts torment the people for five months
Sixth Trumpet - A third of mankind is killed by  fire and smoke and brimstone
Seventh Trumpet - Loud voices in Heaven , temple of God in heaven is opened, lightening, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm

7 Bowl Judgements - the last plagues and in them God's wrath is finished
Bowl 1: Malignant sores - painful sores  - a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Bowl 2: Sea is turned to blood - and every living soul died in the sea.
Bowl 3: Fresh Water turned to blood - rivers and springs of water turned to blood   Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Bowl 4: Men scorched with fire - fierce heat on the people but they will not repent
Bowl 5: Darknes over the kingdom of the Beast - his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Bowl 6: Invasion from the East - the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared... And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon
Bowl 7: " It is done"  Great Earthquakes and much Destruction widespread - thunders, lightening, nations fall, earthquake, hail ( the hailstones weigh about 100 pounds each)
Revelation 16: 17 - 21
¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
¹⁹ And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
²⁰ And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
