The First Trumpet of Revelation: Running to the Outdoors as a Survivalist will not Save you.



The Plague of Hail and Fire are the Aftermath of the ensuing War in Heaven


God instructed Moses that trumpets would be blown when the camp would go to war against their enemies. Our war is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities in the Heavenly places. So the war should certainly start there. Trumpet would also be blown for calling the congregation to the tent of meeting and to signal when they would be saved from their enemies. Trumpets were to be blown at their appointed feasts and at the beginning of each month. The plagues that occur with each trumpet are the fall out aftermath of the spiritual war occurring in Heaven. They are signs that the powers of heaven are being shaken. We are told all of their host shall fall down as the leaf falls from the vine, and as fruit falling from a fig tree. In the first trumpet, the book of Revelation tells us that a 1/3 of the trees will be burned up and all the green grass will be burned up by a plague of Hail and fire. The one third value seen in the first four trumpets relate to the number of fallen angels who were thrown to the earth.

How Hail and Fire can be mingled with Blood


God is the only one who can prepare hail. Meteorologist say that Hail is formed by the formation of accumulating water droplets that are driven upward by weather patterns of warm air at lower elevations and cooler air at higher elevations. The updrafts lift water droplets to higher elevations that freeze and then drop again to the lower elevations. The size these hail grow to before gravity ultimately pulls them to the earth all depend upon the strength of the Jetstream that drives them. So God does keep the hail in a treasury incubator per se to prepare the size and strength of these hailstones. The weather pattern God forms will ultimately determine a hail’s size. Can God mingle fire with Ice? Absolutely! The three elements needed to create a fire are some combustible fuel, an oxidizer source, and a heat source. Water will always condense around particulates found in the atmosphere even combustible particulates. Hail is never composed of pure water. The oxygen in the atmosphere can supply the oxidation; and the frictional drag from the free fall can provide the heat for ignition. Aside from the science of it all, History has recorded God doing this before in Egypt; so He can certainly do it again. People do well to learn from this history. God warned the Egyptians through Moses to bring every man and beast in from the field from a similar plague or they would die. The Egyptians who feared the Lord remained inside and were protected. The Egyptians who did not fear the Lord and went to the fields anyway were all struck dead by the Hail. God rained fiery hail and lightening on all their heads. God gave everyone and everything in the field over to the storm. In this manner, the fiery hail became mingled with blood. Only the fields of Goshen where the Israelites lived were spared from this hail.

How do you avoid and survive this plague of Hail


Why will God allow the land to perish and burn up like a wilderness so that no one can pass through? Because they have forsaken God’s law and followed the doctrines of demons. People who practice evil and allow demonic forces to hover over them like a dark cloud are certainly a walking target wherever they go for this. Running to the outdoors as a survivalist will not save you. Those who think their dwelling places in the wilderness will save them rather than the Lord their God will be in for a rude awakening; for they will all be burned up. The tempest and hailstones from God’s indignation will beat them down regardless of wherever they go. Hail will sweep away their refuge and the waters will overflow all their hiding places. How do you avoid all this? God will make justice and his righteousness the measuring line. God alone can be our refuge. Everything else is just wishful thinking. God’s righteous people will dwell securely in peaceful habitation though hail comes down on the forests and the city is brought low in humiliation. Return to God and in righteousness you will find peace.
