The Fourth Vial

[phareztamar]

Chapter One

The Fourth Vial

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

This fourth vial is poured out some 92 million miles away, upon our sun. Apparently a requirement to empowering this messenger. For despite that great distance; the fourth angel is then given power to scorch men with fire, way back here on earth. If ever the wonderful discoveries of today's science were relevant, it is here.

Which brings us to more of the mysterious parallel's in scripture. More dots...dropped throughout these books...that we hope to connect at the end, in a book of summary. Recall that at the fourth trumpet, a third of the sun was darkened. And now, the fourth vial is poured out upon the sun. It was also the fourth day, when the sun was made the ruler of light. Moreover, my Lord...the Sun of Righteousness...did appear to men at the start of the 4,000th year...or the fourth day. Some pretty amazing symmetry: and these are but the surface jewels, scattered about the path.

Across the planet, there is now a pervasive spirit of cursing throughout all peoples. This spirit crosses every barrier: from race to gender to age to earnings. Potty-mouths are everywhere. It is an ubiquitous spirit lurking within humanity...needing only a tiny door of anger, impatience, or bravado, to find its way out. Even the saints have fallen prey betimes. Just put them in a car, with a deadline, driving at rush hour. Indeed, my Lord has said:

In your patience possess ye your souls.

While the F-bomb remains the consummate favorite; it is not by happen-stance that two of the three curse words used most; are the damning of our mighty God, and using the Son of God's name in vain...often with a modified middle name (Jesus ....... Christ). Oh ignorant men that we are. If every hair upon our head is numbered, then is not every word from our lips measured? Every thought known?

Small surprise, then, that men blaspheme the name of God when the fourth vial is poured out. Though they refuse to recognize who has power over these plagues, yet do men curse the name of my Lord in the midst of their woe. They don't even know the God whom they blaspheme...nor his exceeding great glory...and they refuse to repent of their wicked ways.

But pray take note, both heaven and earth; that even here, his nail-scarred hand is outstretched. This is a time of great spiritual darkness upon the earth. And woe is this planet when the salt is removed, and the flesh begins to mottle and rot. Pray let this scorching heat drive men to their knees, in a humble prayer of repentance.
