Why does God only allow a third of things to be destroyed in Revelations Chapter 8-11 during the seven trumpet sounds? The answer is, because the Church (body of Christ) is the other two thirds that are still here, whether alive or asleep in the grave. All these chastisements or Gods warnings from Revelation Chapter 8 up to Chapter 14 are to make the earth purified and to give all a chance to repent and come back to God before that of Christ return.
Purification of the first heaven (atmosphere) and earth has to be made in order for it to be the new heaven and new earth and for the New Jerusalem that will be ushered down from heaven, which is the Kingdom of God here on earth where we will have eternal life with the Father as we reign with Christ. We are not to fear that which will come from Gods chastisements which will be hard for us to bare to see, but pray for courage and fortitude to deal with Gods warnings as we continue in being that of the two witnesses of Revelations Chapter 11, as the two witnesses are God and the Holy Spirit working through us as we preach the word during this time for 1260 days (3 1/2 years) clothed in that which surrounds us that will be hard to bare to watch.
John compares the two witnesses to the two candlesticks and two olive trees, which if you read Zechariah Chapter 4 it explains that the golden candlestick is God. The seven lamps with the seven pipes that holds the oil (anointing), which is that of the seven Spirits of God: wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, reverence, might and Spirit of the Lord. Satan has always tried to shut the word down and thought he did so when Christ was crucified, but in three days the word (Jesus) was made live again and made known to the Disciples first and then to the world through the commission he gave in Matthew 28:18-20 to not only the Disciples, but all of us as we witness Christ to others through His word as being His Church.
Rev 7 speaks of the 144,000 taken from the twelve tribes of the house of Israel. These are the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Matthew 10:6, who were scattered abroad in the Northern parts that the Disciples were told to go preach to. They and their generations that are still alive at this time of Gods chastisement God sets a seal on them, Revelation 7:1-3 to protect them from the third of everything that is about to be destroyed by Gods chastisements that are handed down by the angels. Jews and Gentiles, whom we being Gentile are sealed also, that will be preaching together will be like Paul and Peter as Paul was to teach the Gentiles and Peter to teach the Jews about Christ, Matthew 10:5-7; Acts 22.
These chastisements, or Gods warning that will be 1260 days=3 1/2 years will escalate as sin continues to surge as each trumpet that sounds will be worse than the other up to the seventh trumpet that is the worst one of all that ushers in the great and terrible day of the Lord, which is the return of Christ, 1Corinthians 15:52; Revelation 1:7. The reason it is called the great and terrible day of the Lord is because that of a continued chastisement after the seventh trumpet sounds that includes that of Revelation Chapter 12-19 where we the body of Christ are still here until that of Chapter 19 when at that time Christ returns in the air and sends His angels to gather the harvest for it is now ripe and every eye will see him, saint and sinner, and every knee will bow, saint and sinner, but for some it will be to late even if their knee bows as Christ has now returned in the air and within a twinkling of an eye the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we who are alive in Christ will gather together with them who slept as we are now given our glorified bodies to meet Jesus in the clouds and will evermore have eternal life with the Father.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 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.
Many will not have eternal life with the Father as they will stand in Gods great white throne judgment, Revelation 20:11-15, where their names are not found written in the Lambs book of life. They rejected Christ that was preached to them and will be cast into the lake of fire with Satan, the beast and the false prophet as they refused to accept the preaching of Christ done by the two witnesses, God and the Holy Spirit speaking through the Church (body of Christ) that are witnessing/preaching Christ to them. They have taken the mark of the beast as they have bowed down to the antichrist one world religious, economical and political system that Satan gave the beast its power, seat and great authority, Revelation 13.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
