Demonic locusts and wild horsemen

trumpets five and six will be blown and there is this vision for John of Locusts rising from the depths of earth and wild horsmen whose leader is the destroyer....which means Conan the Destroyer....so the California Governor is part of the plagues, right??? No, just some of his movies were painful as plagues, ie Conan the Destroyer.

There is a plague of 'locusts' that comes from the depths of earth/hades to come and plague the world. All accept the faithful and the green parts of the earth, 9:4

Then there are two more plagues and to be honest this is where I find John a little confusing. He many times will say, "Plague one, two more to come." He sets up the scene and then blends things and says "That was it." Read Rev. 9:13-21 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%209:12-21&version=76 You will see that John is not very clear.

So, I see four angels as one plague...like the final plague in Egypt, the Passover.
Then I see the calvary.
Now, what is the key point that John is drawing out of the calvary to me is that this posse rides with 'fire, smoke, and sulfur' coming of their mouths. A tremendous case of bad breath...get some scope or an Altoids boys.
You put that which comes out of their mouths against what comes out of the mouth of the first horsemen, a rider we will see later, a sword as a tongue. The words that are spoken out of the mouth of that rider, Christ are just and true. The words out of the calvary's mouth are polluted, corrupted, and rather unappealing. The forces of violence though large and grand are not the ultimate authority.

None of these images make sense on their own, you must combine them and play them off each other. John being a apocalyptic writer expects you and I to read it and catch what he is saying.

Finally after all of these plagues a 1/3 of the world gone. Many still don't change. In a way that causes me to reflect upon my faith more deeply. So, every person who is touched and changed by the grace of God through my ministry...that is a miracle. The person who sees the work of grace, is called to repent and fails to do so...that is normal. The miracle is coming to see through our blindness and to believe.

joy,
Guido
