Bible Note: Tim, thank you dear brother for your studies. I believe I see where you are “missing it” :) I apologize for not giving a better explanation of “how” to view them. Allow me to make another attempt, please. You listed side by side the seals, the trumpets and the vials. You are “missing” the seven angels that tie together with the seven seals. Side by side the trumpets AND the vials. Just those two, and like the cows and grain – ALL the words don’t have to be the same. And side by side the seals AND the angels. Having the same message, is what makes them the same. Much like your wonderful explanation of with the resurrection story. Trumpet one: “Hail cast upon the earth ” - Vial one: “Upon the earth … and sores” Trumpet two: “Cast onto the sea …and blood” - Vial two: “Poured upon the sea … blood” Trumpet 3: “Upon rivers and fountains …” - Vial 3: “Upon rivers and fountains” Trumpet 4: “Sun smitten” - Vial 4: “Poured upon the sun” Trumpet 5: “Bottomless pit” (who “lives” there?) - Vial 5: “Seat of the beast” Trumpet 6: “The Euphrates River” - Vial 6: “The Euphrates River” Trumpet 7: “It is finished” - Vial 7 “It is done” They aren’t only similarities in WHAT, and WHERE. But the EXACT SAME NUMBER that John uses matches those similarities. In other words, had number three trumpet match number four vial - this conversation wouldn't be happening. That they match perfectly side by side is what makes for an awful lot of “coincidences” not to mention there are NO “un-similarities” to cancel my point. I can do the exact same thing with the seals AND angels – if you wish. :) They TOO follow the same principle God gave us in Gen. Two equals one and the same. Fourth seal – death of believers Rev 6:7-8 . Fourth angel – death of believers Rev 14:13. Sixth seal “wrath of the Lamb” Sixth angel “Wrath of God”. Etc. etc. I’ve got to get to Church for some meetings. Blessings, Taleb |
