Revelation 8
The Seventh Seal—the Trumpets
1 When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and
seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might [a]add it to the prayers of
all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, [c]with the prayers of the [d]saints, went up
before God out of the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel [e]took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and
there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
7 The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a
third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, 9 and
a third of the creatures which were in the sea [f]and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of
waters. 11 The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were
made bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be
darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 Then I looked, and I heard [g]an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of
the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

Here's why it's NOT the end of the world, and why we're merely dealing with a bunch of greedy globalists who are causing so much havoc that they have
people believing it the end: (Again)
1) No hail mixed with fire and blood.
2) The trees and grass are still here.
3) A great mountain didn't fall into the sea.
4) Ships and the creatures of the sea? You got it, still there.
5) No star fell and made the waters bitter.
6) The sun is still shining.
If you know the bible like I do, you would know that there is a certain order to things. Do I think the world might end some time in the distant
future long after we're gone? Sure! But right now? NOPE. And I say that with confidence.
We've allowed ourselves to take prosperity for granted, and that is reflective of the worlds economy. People just stopped working hard. Why are China,
Russia and other countries so successful? They have a sense of urgency and an appreciation of what must be done to achieve prosperity.
Iran is being annoying again, just like they always have. Another bad president? That's nothing new. A group of greedy powerful people starting wars
with plans of global domination? How many times throughout history have we had to deal with these idiots and psychopaths? Too many to count! That's
all human history consists of is war, war, war. The ancients spoke about this many times.
Enough with the doom and gloom, turn that frown upside-down.
