THE GREATEST EARTHQUAKE EVER. The complete earth shaking at one and the same time. What a fearsome and awesome moment that will be. The great city will receive special attention and judgment. An understanding of the feelings of the Lord and an identification of the city may be found in Rev. 11:8 There can be no doubt of which city this is spoke when the scripture described it as the city <where our Lord was crucified>. That can apply to only one city. So obnoxious is the city in the eyes of the Lord that He also declared it to be Egypt {captivity, slavery} and Sodom {sin and unrighteousness}.
THE CITY IS ALSO LABELED BABYLON. The destiny of that city is to be thrown down {divided into three parts}. Never to rise again. Not only will great Babylon be destroyed but along with her the cities of the nations will be destroyed. Rev. 16:19 This is the final destruction for that city. Rev. 18:24 The sound and activities of life will never be heard of seen in her again. The city will be cast down with violence and that manifestation of the wrath of the Almighty. Rev. 18:21-24 Once again positive identification is made for in her the prophets were slain. The saints were also persecuted and slain. She will bear responsibility and pay a great price of judgment for the blood found in her streets. Rev. 18:24 A
COMPLETE ALTERATION OF THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE EARTH The mountains and the islands will be removed from their present location. What is now, will not exist in its present form, during the millennium. Rev. 16:20 Rev. 6:4 What a horrifying experience it would be to have to live through all this mighty shaking. If anyone could make it, what would the condition of their minds be? The great fear generated by all his violent movement of the earth would drive then stark raving mad. Just knowing that it will happen, then seeing it begin to happen, they call for the rocks and mountains to fall on them. Rev. 6:15-16
GREAT STONES OF ICE FALL ON THEM. Great chunks of ice weighing up to one hundred and twenty-five pounds falling from the sky. Instead of repentance men blaspheme God because of the plague of hail that is falling with great destruction. Rev. 16:21 With all this due to happen is there any possible way for sinners to enter the millennium? :END:
