(Mal 3:24-25)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"left\">Elijah and Enoch will warn that terrible evil will be unleashed upon an unrepentant world: the <em>Fifth Trumpet&#8230; <\/em>for the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23).<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">THE FIFTH TRUMPET<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, mono; font-size: small;\">Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. It was given the key for the passage to the abyss. It opened the passage to the abyss, and smoke came up out of the passage like smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the passage. Locusts came out of the smoke onto the land, and they were given the same power as scorpions of the earth. (Rev 9:1-3) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In this passage, we read that a &#8220;star that had fallen&#8221; was given the key to the abyss. Recall that it is to the earth that Satan is cast by Michael and his angels (Rev 12:7-9). And so this &#8220;king of the abyss&#8221; may be Satan, or perhaps <em>the one in whom Satan manifests<\/em>\u2014Antichrist. Or is the &#8220;star&#8221; a reference to a religious apostate? St. Hildegard, for instance, held that the Antichrist will be born from the Church, and attempt to parody the great events at the end of Christ&#8217;s life, such as His death, Resurrection, and Ascension into heaven.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\"> They had as their king the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon. (Rev 9:11)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abaddon (meaning &#8220;Destroyer&#8221;; cf. John 10:10) lets loose a plague of diabolic stinging &#8220;locusts&#8221; which have the power, not to kill, but to torment all those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. On a spiritual level, this sounds very much like the &#8220;deceiving power&#8221; which God permits to delude those who have refused to believe the truth (see 2 Thess 11-12). It is a deception permitted to let people follow their darkened hearts, to reap what they have sown: to follow and even worship the Antichrist who personifies this deception. However, they now follow in <em>fear<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>On a natural level, the locusts are given a description by St. John comparable to that of an army of helicopters\u2014<em>swat teams<\/em>?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\">The sound of their wings was like the sound of many horse-drawn chariots racing into battle. (Rev 9:9) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The evil which the Two Witnesses warned about was a reign of fear: a global and absolute Totalitarianism headed by Antichrist, and enforced by his False Prophet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>THE FALSE PROPHET\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>St. John writes that, aside from the rise of Antichrist, there also comes one whom he later describes as &#8220;the false prophet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\">Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb&#8217;s but spoke like a dragon. It wielded all the authority of the first beast in its sight and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed. It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of everyone. It deceived the inhabitants of the earth with the signs it was allowed to perform&#8230; (Rev 13:11-14)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This beast has the appearance of someone religious, but who speaks &#8220;like a dragon.&#8221; It sounds like the &#8220;high priest&#8221; of the New World Order whose role is to <em>enforce<\/em> worship of the Antichrist through a single world religion and an economic system which binds to him every man, woman, and child. It is possible this False Prophet appears throughout the entire Seven Year Trial, and has a large role to play in the Apostasy, acting as it were, as the &#8220;tail&#8221; of the Dragon. In this regard, he too is a &#8220;Judas,&#8221; an antichrist. (See the <a title=\"\" href=\"\/blog\/?p=718\"><em>Epilogue<\/em><\/a> regarding the identity of the False Prophet and the possibility of another antichrist <em>after<\/em> the Era of Peace).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>As far as the antichrist is concerned, we have seen that in the New Testament he always assumes the lineaments of contemporary history. He cannot be restricted to any single individual. One and the same he wears many masks in each generation.<\/strong> \u2014Cardinal Ratzinger (POPE BENEDICT XVI), <em>Dogmatic Theology, Eschatology 9<\/em>, Johann Auer and Joseph Ratzinger, 1988, p. 199-200; cf (1 Jn 2:18; 4:3)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Presumably, the False Prophet also counters the miracles produced by the Two Witnesses:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\"> It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of everyone. (Rev 13:13) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His satanic rituals, and those who practice it with him, helps bring about this deceiving power upon the earth like a plague of &#8220;locusts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\">Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and <em>because of the increase of evildoing<\/em>, the love of many will grow cold. (Matt 24:1-12)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Is not the absence of love the worst torment? It is the <a title=\"\" href=\"\/blog\/?p=427\"><em>Eclipse of the Son<\/em><\/a>, the eclipse of <em>Love. <\/em>If perfect love casts out all fear\u2014<em>perfect fear<\/em> casts out all love.

(Mk 14:10) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to some of the Church Father&#8217;s, the Two Witnesses will eventually confront Antichrist who will hand them over to death.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\"> When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will wage war against them and conquer them and kill them. (Rev 11:7)<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And thus will unfold the last half of Daniel&#8217;s week, &#8220;a 42 month&#8221; reign in which Antichrist sets out to &#8220;desolate the world.&#8221; The Antichrist&#8217;s betrayal will lead to Christianity itself brought before the courts of the world (Lk 21:12), <em>symbolized by Pontius Pilate<\/em>. But first, the remnant will be tried in the &#8220;court of opinion&#8221; among the members of the Church who have apostasized. The Faith itself will be on trial, and among the faithful will be countless people falsely judged and condemned: The chief priests, elders, and scribes\u2014Christ&#8217;s fellow members of the Temple\u2014mocked and spat upon Jesus, raising all kinds of false accusations against Him. Then they asked Him:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\">Are you the Messiah the son of the Blessed One? (Mk 14:61)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So too, the Body of Christ will be condemned for not acquiescing to the New World Order and its &#8220;religious&#8221; tenets which are opposed to God&#8217;s moral order. The Russian prophet, Vladimir Solovev, whose writings Pope John Paul II praised, said that &#8220;Antichrist is a religious imposter\u201d who will impose a vague \u201cspiritualism.&#8221; For rejecting it, the true followers of Jesus will be mocked and spat upon and excluded as was Christ their Head. The voices of accusation will mockingly ask them if they belong to the Messiah, <em>to His moral teachings<\/em> on abortion and marriage and whatever else. The Christian&#8217;s answer is what will draw out the wrath and condemnation of those who have rejected the Faith:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\">What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. (Mk 14:63-64)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Then Jesus was blindfolded.

(Rev 11:7) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Then the Seventh Trumpet is blown signaling that God&#8217;s mysterious plan has been fully implemented (11:15). His plan of mercy and justice is reaching its peak, for even the chastisments thus far have not procured repentance in the nations:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\"> The rest of the human race, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands&#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;\"> Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic potions, their unchastity, or their robberies.
