The 3rd trumpet, 3rd Bowl, Dan 11:41-43, and the Middle East
The 3rd Trumpet, the 3rd Bowl, and Daniel 11:41-43 describe the same events but from different perspectives. They all have to do with man embracing the priority belief / way of the beast, of the last king of the north, the “leader of the free worldâ€.
I would like to present an insight which many Christians have not seen because of the teachings of their leaders, who, as I have also been subject to, embrace a literal and physical interpretation of these words. Please keep in mind that the words of Our God and Father of Jesus Christ have always been directed towards a spiritual understanding of The True Way of life, since He is spirit and His Word is spirit. As with Adam and Eve, there was the True Way which lead to the Tree of Life and the lie, the way of self-will (deciding for oneself what is good and evil), which leads to death.
Regarding the 3rd Trumpet: ...and fell from the heaven a star great (a powerful messenger-leader), burning as a lamp (a bright false light/way of good), and it fell upon each one of the three...the rivers (large countries) and upon the fountains (smaller countries) and of waters (all peoples). And the name (character-identity) of the star (this leader) is called Wormwood. (The original Greek word for Wormwood is “apsinthos†which refers to the pagan god Artemis, or better known as Diana (mother of gods). (Note: this leader will proclaim and advance a belief that places itself above the True God and which will act as an umbrella protector belief for all individual religious beliefs.) ...and becomes (changed into) all three into wormwood (into the way of this false belief), and many of the men died (became disaccustomed/untaught of their previous belief) of the waters (peoples) because they were made bitter (became servants of the head/this way).
Regarding the 3rd Bowl: And the third angel poured his bowl into the rivers, and into the fountains of waters, and they became blood (became man’s nature/kinship). And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous, O Lord, art thou, who are and who was and the holy one, that these things thou did judge, because the blood of saints and of prophets they poured out (promulgated widely) and blood to them you gave to drink, worthy for they are.
Because man has rejected Christ as the Son of God, as the Only True Way, God is allowing man to fully embrace the way of the self will, preparing him for the time of judgement and punishment. This was seen in the past when God gave up man to their carnal and perverted desires after they rejected Him. Sodom and Gomorrah was an example of this judgement.
Regarding Daniel 11:41-43: The Word of God shows that the king of the north will enter the Glorious land and that his hand will stretch out to Egypt and other countries. He also says that the Libyans (countries of north Africa) and Ethiopia will follow at his heels.
This is happening now, as the peoples and countries, large and small, of the middle east are bringing the downfall of their leaders and governments, demanding the way of freedom of rights...the way of the king of the north (the way of the leader of the free world). There are only a handful which still resist, however the desire of their people for this way will cause them to unite with the world.
(Dan 11:36-39) This king of the north will exalt and magnify himself (his way of life).He shall magnify himself above all gods. In the place of (above) these other gods / beliefs he will honor a god of fortresses / beliefs (a primary belief above all other beliefs) and he shall act against (conquer/change) the other ways by advancing this primary belief to all peoples.
This belief is not militarily forced upon nations or peoples. This belief is being desired and embraced. The other countries cannot stop it. The leaders that resist the way of the beast are made subject to economic sanctions in order to punish them for rights violations.
The choice for the tree of knowledge of good and evil was not forced on Adam and Eve. They chose it because they decided for themselves that it was good in their eyes.
I ask you to reflect on God’s Word, on the warnings given by Christ to the 7 churches and to the apostles with regards to “not being deceivedâ€. The apostles also gave warnings to Christians to repent from other beliefs that were accepted and tolerated.
May you serve Christ, and Him only, and the Holy Spirit be with you.
