    Rev.9.1-2 "The Fifth Angel" (2 of 2)

    Fourth disaster is on the celestial objects that God hung up in heaven. The sun, the moon and the stars serve as signs."Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years."(Gen.1.14) So what we shall make of "And the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon,.and the third part of the stars;" We see in the manner seasons proving topsy-turvy, and rains dump months of waters by single spell so flash flood basin around Camp Mystic leaves no survivors, and many more and mutant weather, one may call it broadly. One third is how the Spirit classify the children of disobedience and without reverence to the Son they shall grow from bad to worse.

    "and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit." Here we have the power given to the king Abaddon, 'but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.'.(v.11) It is thus we need look at the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters as distinct as Heaven setting the angel having charge of the bottomless pit to execute the wrath of the Lamb upon the children of wrath. The golden altar with four horns symbolise the Spirit of God. On the other hand the bottomless pit refers to generation of man for whom the word of God means very little.

    The altar presupposes a body prepared before the worlds began and as memorial we see the four and twenty elders and four beasts seated before the throne. As High Priest Christ has a body so has the four beasts. "And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles./And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever."(Rev.15.6-7) We shall consider the single measurement holding Temple/Heaven as one.
