The Seventh Trumpet Blast.
 

Then the seventh angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord [Yahweh God], and of His Christ and He shall reign for ever and ever.  ^{(See Revelation 11:15-19.)}  

I heard a loud Voice Saying in Heaven: Now is come Salvation, and Strength and the Kingdom of our God, and the Power of His Christ: For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night: But (For) they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. ^{(See Revelation 12:10-12.)}

The Lord Yeshua/Jesus said to His Disciples: Take and drink all of you. For this is My Blood of the New Covenant which is shed for many for the remission of your sin. How is it that the very WORD of Jesus Christ, speaking the very TRUTH of the WORD of His Father Yahweh God is dismissed as symbolic metaphor by the religious intelligencia of protestation and in their forgetfulness, they will make their own way of self righteousness. 

Witness here the Power of the Spirit of the LIFE giving Blood of God's Salvation, that provides the enduring WAY of  LIFE IN Christ Jesus that brings His people through His Entrance into the Kingdom of His Father Yahweh God. For they overcame him (Satan) by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony (of overcoming Faith in Christ Jesus), and they loved not their lives unto death.

The Almighty Yahweh God of the universe, in His Salvation Covenant that was Sanctified before the foundation of the world, has forgiven the faith believing people of repentance for their past sins through the Perfect Sacrifice of His innocent Lamb, and the Lamb's Resurrection as the LIFE of men. ^{(See Romans 3 verse 25.)}

But Satan, the lord of the flesh, knows of the workings of the flesh of the old man and his past sins: Whereby Satan continues his assault on the flesh of man, even in night dreams where he can entice a person through their lust for pleasure, and amerce them into the darkness of death.  The prideful pulpit preachers have dismissed Yahweh God's Living Provisions in Christ Jesus, as if they are a superstition, and where Communion in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, does nothing to relieve a person of their guilt for their sin's of the flesh.  I have even heard a prideful TV evangelist ignorantly proclaim that God's Communion with His people was done away with the cross.  The man is greatly deceived in the darkness of his unrepentant sins. If Christ Jesus is not risen from the dead, then all of mankind remains dead in their sin, and Yahweh God's WORD  is vanity.

However the Eternally Wise Yahweh God Almighty is very patient in His New Covenant in the the LIFE giving Blood of His Only Begotten Son that relieves the penitent man or woman of their guilt from their sinful follies.  ^{(See 2nd Peter 3 verse 8 thru 9.)} Satan, the deceiver of the brethren remains active in His enticement of the flesh of all believers, and this devious fallen angel projects himself as light, and he counterfeits grace with his lies.  The foolish man of the flesh, will hear with itching ears, and follow after those desires that his flesh is acquainted with.  However, Holy God Almighty never temps man with sin, nor does He bring up the past sins of those whose souls were reborn of His Spirit and whose hope is in the Almighty and His New Covenant Salvation in Christ Jesus.  But, Satan with his cunning deception, has rendered "The weapons of our warfare that are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds"  to be inert by men who have harkened to the satanic angel of light.  It is now past time for the people of Yahweh God to wise up to the depths of Satan.  Understand, the future is already written in the fabric of time, and will come to pass: And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. ^{(See Revelation 12:10-12.)}

 The Third Woe revealed.
Satan has been cast down to earth

The Wrath of Satan is revealed
and then the Seven Vile Judgments will come.

WOE to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you having great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time. When the dragon (Satan the devil) saw that he was cast down unto the earth, he "persecuted" the Women (Israel), which brought forth the Man Child.  And to the Women (Israel) was given two wings of a great eagle so that she might fly into the wilderness, where she is nourished for a time, and time and half a time (1260 days) from the face of the serpent.  ^{(See Revelation 12:12-17.)}

This short period of time, within the end of days, is when the great wrath of Satan with his violent nature of rebellion is perpetrated in the human form of the Antichrist.  This is the time when Satan is cast down to earth, and instigates his fearful tribulation persecution of Israel and the redeemed saints of God.  ^{(Consider Isaiah 54 verse 14 thru 16.)} For says the Lord our Righteousness: Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I AM the Door of the sheep. By Me if any man enter in (through the Door), he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I AM come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  ^{(See John 10:7-10.)}

Satan is the thief that has come to steal, and to kill and to destroy the works of Yahweh God, but we know for a certainty that our Lord Jesus/Yeshua came to bring life to the fallen of faithless mankind.  Therefore, we should understand that the set aside 42 month period is not the wrath of God, but that of Satan.  The noted day of the Lord will only come at the very end of Satan's tribulation wrath of 42 months.  It is at the finale ending of sin's corrupting force of death that the Only Holy Lord God Almighty will remove, that is "rapture"  His saints from His day of judgmental wrath against the wicked beings and the ungodly of mankind.

The Apostle Paul speaks of the time before the great day of the Lord's judgment wrath against the wicked. 

For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [come before] them which are asleep (at rest). For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a Shout, with the Voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise (stand up) first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. ^{(1st Thessalonians 4:16-17.)}

The simplicity of thought is that Paul knows the Word of his Lord and Master through the Gospels and this is what he alludes to: For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord.  Paul's thoughts do not deviate from the Words of his Master Jesus Christ as described in what were set in chapter and verses of Mathew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.  To be clear, it is the Word of the Lord in Matthew 24 that brings Paul to say: that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord.  

But NOTE again: Satan is the thief and murderer and should be seen in the TRUTH as the perpetrator of what is called the Tribulation.  If not for Yahweh God's merciful intervention, pertaining to the wrathful persecution of Satan, then there would be no flesh alive. The destructive wrath of the man of sin would leave the world in total desolation, And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. ^{(See Matthew 24:20-22 and Mark 13:22.)} Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds! (The Glory of God.) ^{(1st Thessalonians 4 verse 16-17.)} Note the word 'remain' should be seen as a remnant of those who are yet alive. The Words of our Lord Jesus Christ says it this way in Mark 13 verse 19: For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation of God, until this time neither shall be. Notice in the link that the transliterated word 'affliction' is linked to tribulation, and this affliction is the result of Satan's persecution of the elect of God.

Tragically, there are noted writers and men of the pulpit that defend their false assumptions by compounding their error with opinionated accusations that disparage the Love of Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Yahweh God Almighty.  They fail to recognize that it is the wrath of the man of sin, in concert with the author of sin itself that brings near total destruction to the world.  Before this happens, Holy God will intervene and will either remove His people or protect the elect before the violence of sin can bring and end to all flesh.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elects sake those days shall be shortened. ^{(Matthew 24:22.)} At that time, Holy Yahweh God will bring an end to the desolation of sin, and then the Almighty will bring His Righteous Judgment against the wicked destroyers of His creation of man.

Robert Van Kampen states in one of his books: "God will deliver His faithful elect from persecution and then on the same day begin His destruction of the wicked who remain". There is a definite distinction and demarcation between the wrath of Satan, the accuser of the brethren, and God's day of judgment against the wicked.  Satan's (tribulation persecution) of God's saints ends in chaos, and then the day of the Lord's final judgment against the wicked begins and ends within the length of that day of the Lord.

Note that the KJV's word for  'tribulation' in Strong's concordance G2347, translates in the following manner: tribulation (21x), affliction (17x), trouble (3x), anguish (1x), persecution (1x), burdened (1x), to be afflicted (with G1519) (1x). Perhaps the one notation of 'persecution' would be more suitable for a better understanding of the greater trial of faith that will take place.  Also take note of this Word of Truth: God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. ^{(See Acts 10:37-43.)} The oppression and persecution is of the devil; for in this world the saved by the Grace of God Almighty, will suffer affliction from the persecuting wrath of Satan. ^{(See the Words of Christ John 16:33.)}

When magnifying the Word of Yahweh God in Revelation, then we see that after the Lamb of God opens the seventh seal, the noted third woe reveals the tribulation wrath of Satan, with that time culminating just before the Day of the Lord's final judgment against the wicked.  Satan is exposed. as the enemy of the Almighty God, and Satan knowing of his short time, will make his last attempt to be glorified as god.  Therefore, the day of the Lord is not 42 months of the wrath of God, but the last 42 months is the wrath of Satan, the author of sin that brings death, as he will ferociously persecute the nation of Israel and the believers in Christ Jesus. In his self deceit, Satan, as always, will be seeking to discredit the Almighty God Yahweh, and establish his own domain.
