I also posted this in my Illumination thread, as I believe it is pertinent,
however, discern this passage also, from Zep 3: 1-2: 9-13.

It also seems to support the theory we are discussing-

Thus says the LORD:
Woe to the city, rebellious and polluted,
to the tyrannical city!
She hears no voice,
accepts no correction;
In the LORD she has not trusted,
to her God she has not drawn near.

For then I will change and purify
the lips of the peoples,
That they all may call upon the name of the LORD,
to serve him with one accord;
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
and as far as the recesses of the North,
they shall bring me offerings.

On that day
You need not be ashamed
of all your deeds,
your rebellious actions against me;
For then will I remove from your midst
the proud braggarts,
And you shall no longer exalt yourself
on my holy mountain.
But I will leave as a remnant in your midst
a people humble and lowly,
Who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD:
the remnant of Israel.
They shall do no wrong
and speak no lies;
Nor shall there be found in their mouths
a deceitful tongue;
They shall pasture and couch their flocks
with none to disturb them.




"She/ the city"- then reference to the description of the remnant spoke of in Rev 14.
They were redeemed from the "earth" and had no lies in thier mouths.

Might help your research on the matter for the thread you are considering.

Thank you for that comment.
We've just crossed each other's paths!
When you get back to your own thread, you'll see me remarking on the coincidence that I've just quoted that same Zephaniah passage in the "Church Triumphant" thread.
(And now, reading through "Church Triumphant" again, I've only just realised that I forgot to give the reference for that Zephaniah citation. I'll have to do something about that.)
Thanks for drawing my attention to it, though.

And yes, it could also be taken the way that you were discussing before.

It is interesting to see how these all tie together, isn't it?

As I constantly remind myself that the Book of Revelation is thought to be a commentary on everything that has happened from the beginning to the end of the age, if one bears this in mind, the trumpet judgments sound a lot like what happened to Pharoah and the people of Egypt before Moses led the Israelites out and the trumpets are sounded right before the Ark of the Covenant is revealed to John.
Then the ark appears to be the Woman clothed with the Sun who brings redemption to the earth.

Yes, much to look into here.
The eerie similarity is striking-

Water turned to blood-
Frogs over the land-
Lice, gnats, and flies-
Disease of animals-
unhealing Boils over the populance-
Hail, thunder, and darkness-
Plague of locusts-
Death of all firstborn in houses not "marked" with the blood of the lamb- a typology of Christ's blood on the cross.

There are two on that list with particular significance in the "trumpets and bowls";
HAIL is the central feature in the FIRST trumpet.
BOILS are the central feature in the FIRST bowl.
So when I was doing the thread on the trumpets ("Battered Planet"), I suggested that these were "signatures", identifying both sequences as parallel with the circumstances of the Exodus.

[see Battered planet
And, for that matter The Church Triumphant
