THE SMOKE: Revelation 8:4 " The smoke of the incense... ascended up to God. This smoke came with the prayers of all the Saints, before God..." This Smoke is symbolic, meaning the Power of the Presence of the Holy Spirit. This Smoke is symbolic for the Holy Spirit. The Smoke Represents the Spirit of God. THE THUNDERING: Revelation 8:5 "...There were voices, and thundering..." Thundering is symbolic, meaning: Prophesy, or announcing a Great Event. This Thunder is: as some one would say: (Well I don't want to steal his Thunder.) Revelation 8:5 " And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar. This Angel took the fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth. When the Angel cast it into the earth: there were voices, and thundering..." There were voices, thundering, lightening, and an earthquake." Thundering is the Preaching symbolically speaking or prophesy or the anointing of a great event, a anointed message of a minister. Thunder is a breaking up of the Elements of the Clouds. This thundering and breaking up of the Clouds: was in order that it might rain. Symbolically speaking the Thunder is the Preaching of the Word of God. This Thunder is the Anointed Voices of the Ministers.
THE ELEMENTS: Symbolically speaking: the Elements are the Children of God. THE LIGHTNING: Revelation 8:5"...And there were lightning’s..." There are many things concerning the outpouring of the HOLY GHOST; during the early 19 Hundreds. The Lightning is symbolic, meaning the Lightning up of the Spirit of God. This Lightning: is to Lighten up the Souls of the Children of GOD.
This Lightning: is to Lighten up the Souls of the Children of GOD. This was as the Word of God reflects off the Lives of the Elects; Thus causing the blessings to Rain in their Souls. This Rain is a Direct Result of Hearing the Anointed Word of God. THE POWER OF GOD: Revelation 8:5 "...The thundering, and lightning..." These Two Great Events of the Thundering, and Lightning was in the early 19 Hundreds. This was when there was a Great Outpouring of the HOLY GHOST. Many were under the conviction from the Preaching. This conviction was from the Presence and the Power of the Holy Ghost. Many of the sinners would be Tempted to leave the Service: but the power of the Holey Ghost got hold of them, and they ran to the Altar instead. The Power of the Holy Ghost was strong in those days. Some were so slain in the Spirit: their loved ones would wrap them up in blankets. They would bring them home in an Old bumpy Wagon for miles.
They didn't come out of the Trance until the following day. This was the Direct Results of the hearing of the anointed Word of God, and the Fire of the Altar. The Fire, or Holy Ghost was cast into the Earth in the Early 19 Hundreds. You can imagine the results this had upon God's People. This was a Great event when the Fire of the Altar was poured out upon the Earth. THE CHURCH WAS THE POWER OF GOD: THE EARTHQUAKE: Revelation 8:5 "...And an earthquake..." Literally an Earthquake is a moving of the Earth. Jesus said that there would be many earthquakes in divers places. But this earthquake is different. This earthquake is symbolic meaning as one Politician so plainly put it, this was about something that occurred in Congress quote, this was an Earthquake happening of event. A Moving of the Nations. This Earthquake here is symbolic, meaning a Great Shaking. This was a Great Moving of the Political, and Military People of the World. This Earthquake was the First, and Second World Wars. These two wars, which was the first and second World War these two wars are ONE, the reason for this is the First World War conflict was not over until the second World War ended. To understand this symbolic meaning of the Earthquake We will break it down into TWO parts, (THE EARTH) and the (QUICKENING)
The EARTH IS SYMBOLIC, AS IN Rev. 12:15" THE DRAGON CAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH WATER. verse 12:16"... THE EARTH OPENED ITS MOUTH AND SWALLOWED UP THE FLOOD. The symbolic meaning of the earth here, is the Political People that opened their Borders to the Immigrants. The Mouth being the borders symbolically. The Grate Shaking or Moving of the People: was the first, and second World War. The shaking was symbolic, as someone would say I was greatly shaken or moved by somthing that took place. The earth here is symbolic meaning the People, as in Jeremiah 6:19" Hear old earth behold I will bring evil upon these People. And again in Isaiah 34:1" Let the EARTH hear the Word of GOD. This is Speaking symbolically. Now concerning the shaking. The quaking, and shaking was an event that happened when the Banks of America went broke. And again there was the great depression, in the 20s, this was the great shaking that happened, that led to the first and second World War. This was a shaking of the whole World at that time. THE SEVEN TRUMPETS: Revelation 8:6 " And the Seven Angles which had the Seven Trumpets prepared themselves to sound." The Seven Trumpets have mightily to do with the Seventh Trumpet, and the Dispensation of Communism. This Trumpet had to do with the Spirit of Communism during the Seventh Trumpet.
