THE FOURTH VIAL, POURED OUT ON THE SUN. The sun to shine with intense heat on the earth. Four is the number of the earth. This judgment is directed toward men, on the earth. Rev. 16:8 This is the middle of the vials. Jesus is the center of all that is Godly. He is also the <SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS>. Where are the ungodly that can confront the righteousness of the Almighty? Prior to this time there will be a powerful warning in the sun. Under the sounding of the fourth trumpet {interesting, same number} one-third of the sun is darkened and a third of the day and a third of the night will be totally darkened. This will be like the darkness of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt. No one moves. Ha, think electricity, automobile lights, flash lights will work? Think again. When God turns out His light, its gross darkness. Light originates from God, via our sun, moon, and stars. This will be the granddaddy of all electrical shortages. The fourth seal is a warning of much worse to come. Rev. 8:12 One is often led to speculate if our electrical shortages are not a precursor of that which is to come.
BEWARE, THE GREATEST SUN BURN YET. We are constantly being warned not to stay too long outside without sun screen. Is this another message, warning of that which is to come? There seems to be a number of events in the world of today that appear to be forerunners of the final events. The Lord does not visit in judgment without first giving full, ample and repeated warnings. Men are to be seared with the intensity of the light of the sun. There will be extreme heat on the earth. The smothering kind where it is difficult to breathe. There can be no place of refuge from these plagues as they strike the earth. Rev. 16:8-9
WHY SINNERS WILL NOT BE IN THE MILLENNIUM. Take a good look at the reaction of these who are on the receiving end of these vials. It is very obvious this relates to the complete population of the earth. THE BRIDE EXCLUDED, for only with her eyes shall she see the reward of the wicked, while she is on the earth she is not of the earth. Ps. 91:8 They curse the name of God. Some, even in the church, refuse to acknowledge His name. They even become greatly agitated if the subject is approached. How much more the inhabitants of the kingdom of the antichrist. It is well that we watch our language today, many are using God, Oh God, Lord and Lordy as exclamations. Should it be so? THIS IS IMPORTANT. They refused to repent even under such extreme circumstances. All who refuse to repent, then and now, will perish. Lk. 13:3 Jezebel, in the church was given an opportunity to repent. Rev. 2:21 The Lord is merciful. Men who are great sinners but no repentance from the depths of their sin. Rev. 9:20 It becomes glaringly obvious that the capability of repentance is no longer with them. Rev.16:9 Without repentance how can they be accepted into the millennium? Sinners cannot, nor will they, participate in the millennium!
