The Players of the Trumpet Judgments
Bernard Pyron
Sue Patterson of the Threshing Floor has developed a view of the players of the Trumpet Judgments which is the basis for this post. See http://the-thirdday.com/
Zechariah 13: 8-9 says "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God."
In Ezekiel 5: 1-5 and 5: 12, in verse 12 is says "A third part of thee shall die with the
pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee: and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw a sword after them."
Its the third part who is scattered into all the winds with a sword drawn after them who are the martyrded Multitude of Revelation 9. The Multitude first runs and tries to escape the scorpions, but eventually all are captured.
Deuteronomy 32: 36 fits in here. "For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left."
There are none shut up, that is, in jail, and none left, that is, none left alive.
The Tribulation, which includes the Trumpet Judgments, is judgment on the
Church for not being faithful to the doctrines given by Christ and the Apostles.
But the serpents and scorpions will likely go through much or most of the Tribulation
never knowing that they are in the Tribulation as judgment on the Church. The Church thinks the Tribulation is only about physical events which harm the physical earth.
The serpents and scorpions will think they are doing God a service by having
the Multitude killed. Many of the serpents and scorpions will probably go through much of the Tribulation trying to honor unsaved, physical and national Israel, while they are persecuting spiritual Israel, who are the Multitude after they are purified.
