"Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was wrapped in cloud*, with the rainbow round his head; his face shone like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire. In his hand he held a little scroll unrolled. His right foot he planted on the sea, and his left on the land." (Rev 10:1,2 NEB. *Invisible presence).

(Original painting by R. Thomas. 18/1/05).

No nation on earth has ever declared to its people their awareness of the awesome activities of the heavenly "thief", now being brought about by the "mighty angel" described in Revelation Ch. 10. The book of Revelation to the apostle John makes clear the warnings from the "thief" that were provided to enable mankind to prepare themselves before his actual coming; when he would rob families of many human souls, destroying their homes and temples of wickedness for their offences against the anointed Kingdom heirs of God throughout many generations. (Zech 5:1-4).

Briefly: There is a definite order to the three woes, most of the woeful events having already happened:

                    1^st Woe:      Spiritual "locusts" (angels) inspired certain men to eat up apostate
                                        teachings of unsealed men, and expose them with stinging reproaches.

                    2^nd Woe:     From wars.
                                        The Mexico earthquake destroying 7,000 men.
                                        The mistreatment of anointed sons of God by apostate usurpers within
                                        Christ's congregations.
                                        The current desolation of Babylon/Iraq.
                                        The destructive work of the "mighty angel" by a Tsunami
                                        earthquake in Asia destroying more than 150,000 idol worshippers.

                    3^rd Woe:      The imminent Rule of God. Judgements, and rewards to servants of
                                         God. Anger of nations, and God's anger. High ranking men will
                                         war against God and will be destroyed to make way for His Kingdom
                                         on earth.

                    1^st ANGEL: Hail from aerial attacks, mixed with blood from world wars.

                    2^nd ANGEL: (Rev 8:8). The "burning mountain" that was hurled into the sea was
                                          the nuclear test at Bikini Atoll, where a third of the ships foundered,
                                          and a third of the sea creatures died.

                    4^th ANGEL:  200,000 coalition forces (cavalry) are destroying all of Babylon/Iraq.
                                          The smoke from "her" warring people will continue forever.

                    5^th ANGEL: Spirit pains were brought to bear against teachers of false worship.

                    6^th ANGEL: Four angels are released to destroy a third of the men
                                          (idol worshippers of demons in Babylon).

AMEN LORD.
