The Death and Resurrection of Our World – Episode 8 God’s Third Warning

Welcome back to The Death and Resurrection of Our World podcast! In Episode 8, we continue our deep dive into God’s third warning, as revealed in Revelation 9:1-6.

📖 Scripture Focus – Revelation 9:1-6
"Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit."

"Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads."

"And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them."

🔥 Breaking It Down:

Five Months of Torment – Just as Noah’s flood lasted five months, this judgment will endure five months, bringing intense suffering to those without God’s seal.
Supernatural or Symbolic? – Are these locusts literal creatures, demonic forces, or something modern, like drones or chemical warfare? We explore the possibilities.
A Clear Warning – Those who reject God’s mark and follow the beast will suffer the consequences of their choice.
🛡 God’s Protection & Promise:

The Seal of God – Just as in Egypt during the plagues (Exodus 8:22-23), God marks and protects His people.
Two Paths – One leads to torment and destruction, the other to God’s protection and eternal life.
Faith Over Fear – No matter how dark the world becomes, God prepares a way of escape for His people.
🔍 What’s Next?
This is only one of the warnings given before the final judgment. In the next episodes, we’ll explore what comes after this intense five-month period.
