  1. The First Woe

  2. “There are three great lines of prophecy in the book of Revelation, that run by sevens, and all extend to the end of time—the Seven Churches, the Seven Seals, and the Seven Trumpets. The line of the Seven Churches is the Lord's messages to the seven stages of the church to the end of time, and treats only of the church. The line of the Seven Trumpets marks the great events in the ruin of the Roman power, and what should follow

  3. to the end of time, and thus treats only of the world; while the line of the Seven Seals treats of the church and the world as they would be related to the end of time, and thus treats of both. The trumpet itself is the symbol of war. And in this alone is a suggestion that the seven trumpets would announce wars.” March 5, 1896 ATJ, PTUK 149

  4. Revelation 8:13 “And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

  5. “Four mighty angels hold back the powers of this earth till the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads. The nations of the world are eager for conflict; but they are held in check by the angels. When this restraining power is removed, there will come a time of trouble and anguish. Deadly instruments of warfare will be invented. Vessels, with their living cargo, will be entombed in the great deep. All who have not the spirit of truth will unite under the leadership of Satanic agencies. But they are to be kept under control till the time shall come for the great battle of Armageddon.” Maranatha 257

  6. “But while already nation is rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom, there is not now a general engagement. As yet the four winds are held until the servants of God shall be sealed in their foreheads. Then the powers of earth will marshal their forces for the last great battle.” 6T 14

  7. “. . . my accompanying angel said, ‘Time is almost finished. Do you reflect the lovely image of Jesus as you should?’ Then I was pointed to the earth and saw that there would have to be a getting ready among those who have of late embraced the third angel's message. Said the angel, ‘Get ready, get ready, get ready. Ye will have to die a greater death to the world than ye have ever yet died.’ I saw that there was a great work to do for them and but little time in which to do it.” EW 64

  8. Revelation 8:13 “And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

  9. “They came as grasshoppers for multitude.” Judges 6:5

  10. “They came as grasshoppers for multitude.” Judges 6:5 “Midianites and the Amalekites ... lay along the valley like grasshoppers for multitude.” Judges 7:12

  11. "As soon as their numbers were complete, Abubeker ascended the hill, reviewed the men, the horses, and the arms, and poured forth a fervent prayer for the success of their undertaking . . . 'Remember', said the successor of the prophet, 'that you are always in the presence of God, on the verge of death, in the assurance of judgment, and the hope of paradise. Avoid injustice and oppression; consult with your brethren, and study to preserve the love and

  12. confidence of your troops. When you fight the battles of the lord, acquit yourselves like men, without turning your backs; but let not your victory be stained with the blood of women or children. Destroy no palm trees, nor burn any field of corn. Cut down no fruit trees, nor do any mischief to cattle, only such as you kill to eat. When you make a covenant ... stand to it and be as good as your word. As you go on, you will find some religious persons, who live

  13. retired in monasteries, and propose to themselves to serve God that way: let them alone and neither kill them nor destroy their monasteries. And you will find another sort of people that belong to the synagogue of Satan, who have shaven crowns; be sure you cleave their skulls, and give them no quarter, till they either turn Mahometans or pay tribute.” Edward Gibbon, Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol.V:489-490

  14. Revelation 9:4 “. . . but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.”

  15. "In the early centuries of the Christian era, the church of the East [not the Western or Latin church] sometimes called the Assyrian church, sometimes the Nestorian church [who were observers of the true Sabbath] very effectively spread throughout Asia and the East, but remained separate from the church in the West, especially the apostasy. These true Christians became the teachers of the Saracens and were responsible for establishing an educational system in Syria, Mesopotamia, Turkestan, Tibet, China, India, Ceylon, and other areas.“(Elliott 'Horae Apocalypticae' p 461)B.G. Wilkinson 'Truth Triumphant.' p 268-291. Pacific Press. 

  16. “To his Christian subjects [i.e. the true Christians, not the apostate ones whom the Arabs tormented]; Mohomet readily granted the security of their persons, the freedom of their trade, the property of their goods, and the toleration of their worship” Gibbon Decline & Fall, Vol.V:439-W; 579-580; 390-391).

  17. “The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.” Isaiah 9:15

  18. The 7th century opening of the bottomless pit from which Islam arose through Mohammad. The 7th century command to not burn trees or hurt those who kept the seventh-day Sabbath.

  19. “The Prophet Muhammad . . . proclaimed his prophetic mission in Arabia in 612 and eventually won over the city of his birth, Mecca, to the new faith.” Islamic Conquest, Helen Chapin Metz, ed. Iran: A Country Study. Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1987.

  20. “The [Arab] conquerors now settled tranquilly in the countries they had subdued.” Waddington Church History, Vol. 2:44

  21. “From the 8th to the 12th centuries the Muslim world enjoyed great prosperity. Muslim traders were in close contact with three continents and could move goods back and forth between China and Western Europe and from Russia to Central Africa.” http://www.emayzine.com/lectures/byzmuslm.html

  22. “The Saracens reduced 36,000 cities or castles, destroyed 4,000 churches and built 1,400 mosques.” Gibbon, Decline & Fall Vol.V:474-475

  23. “In the year 1840, another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. Two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman empire, and specifying not only the year but the very day on which this would take place. 

  24. According to this exposition, which was purely a matter of calculation on the prophetic periods  of Scripture, the Turkish government would surrender its independence on the eleventh day of August, 1840. The prediction was widely published, and thousands watched the course of events with eager interest.”   Great Controversy (1888 version) p. 334 

  25. Duplicate Symbols in the Fifth Trumpet 1. Bottomless pit (9:1; 9:11) 2. Leader (9:1 – star; 9:11 – king) 3. Scorpion sting (9:5; 9:10) 4. Five months (9:5; 9:10)

  26. “Ottoman historians often dwell on the prophetic significance of his name, which means "bone-breaker", signifying the powerful energy with which he and his followers appeared to show in the following centuries of conquest. The name Osman is the Turkish variation of the Muslim name Othman. . .” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osman_I Reign 1299–1324

  27. "It was on the twenty-seventh of July, in the year 1299," says Gibbon, "that Othman first invaded the territory of Nicomedia," in Asia Minor, "and the singular accuracy of the date," he adds, "seems to disclose some foresight of the rapid and destructive growth of the monster."-"Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," chap. 64, par. 14. Reign 1299–1324

  28. “I shall here observe what I must often repeat, that the charge of the Arabs was not like that of the Greeks and Romans, the effort of a firm and compact infantry: their military force was chiefly formed of cavalry and archers.” Edward Gibbon Decline & Fall, Vol.V:478-479

  29. Daniel 11:45; 12:1 “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”

  30. “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13

  31. Just over the mountains in the Promised Land,Lies the Holy City built by God's own hand;

  32. As our weary footsteps gain the mountain's crest,We can view our homeland of eternal rest.

  33. We are nearing home! We are nearing home!See the splendor gleaming from the domes afar!

  34. See the glory streaming thro' the gates ajar!There we soon will enter, never more to roam,

  35. Hear the angels singing! We are nearing home!We are nearing home!

  36. From the roles of the prophets we have long been told Of that wondrous city with its streets of gold.

  37. Now with raptured vision we can see it there, With its walls of jasper and its mansions fair.

  38. We are nearing home! We are nearing home!See the splendor gleaming from the domes afar!

  39. See the glory streaming thro' the gates ajar!There we soon will enter, never more to roam,

  40. Hear the angels singing! We are nearing home!We are nearing home!

  41. Those who enter that city are the chosen few Who keep God's commandments--faith of Jesus, too.

  42. There we'll lift our voices through the endless days In sweet songs of gladness and in psalms of praise.
