“Jericho” is Shut Up Because of the Followers of Jesus Christ. The Seals, Trumpets, and Plagues of Revelation Begin to Activate

Joshua 6:1-5

Jericho represents the collapse of the global “democracy” which governs through the entity that gives people what to think, feel, say, and do. When the seventh seal opens, that is when the seven trumpets begin to blow, which is the beginning of the end for the walls of “Jericho”. The seven seals are listed in Revelation 6, and the seven trumpets are listed in Revelation 8 (First thru Fourth), and Revelation 9 (Fifth and Sixth), and Revelation 11 (Seventh).

The sounding of the trumpets corresponds to the ark of the covenant, and the covenant is the Salvation that comes through Jesus Christ for all who believe in Him. “And seven priests will bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark.” Joshua 6:4 This is to tell us that all the horrible things that are happening in this world are because of the rejection of Jesus Christ. For the followers of Christ, these last days are both wonderful and terrible because we know it’s just a matter of time before the Seventh Trumpet blows and Jesus returns.

As soon as the first seal opens, the doors start to securely shut against Jesus Christ, belief in God, and to the Holy Spirit. The doors are shut by those who live and govern by the atheistic entity that replaces the conscience and spirit [while oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit]. The shut doors enable the atheistic entity to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. This is what the global “democracy” thrives on and will establish the global government and one constitution for all the world.

• First Seal:  “And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.”
  
  The rider on the white horse is not Jesus Christ. The “bow” in the Old Testament always refers to worldly power, and the crown spoken about here is the crown of victory and not a royal crown. It is describing this, “It was granted to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given it over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship it, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.” Revelation 13:7-8 This is the beast as in the image and mark of the beast.
  
  Zechariah 6:1-6 makes it clear that a white horse is not exclusively symbolic of Jesus Christ. The rider on the white horse of the first seal was a future event which begins the catastrophic chain of events unleashed onto the world as revealed through the next six seals. That first seal is already opened and is on this earth. This sets the world on course towards the global tribulation through its image of a global “democracy.” It disguises itself as a minister of righteousness, “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15
  
  Who is the rider on the white horse? The rider on the white horse is the false god which “…enters peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and it will do what its fathers have not done, nor his forefathers.” Daniel 11:24 It portrays itself as a lamb, “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” Revelation 13:11 The “two horns like a lamb” are humanism and the churches because it sounds churchy, humane, righteous, and peaceable.
  
  It comes to conquer, and people around the world serve it as a king with a crown as they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4 It has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviors. It is because of its deceitfully peaceful image that there is so much violence in the world today, which is explained in the next six seals. Also, it wants to clone itself as Jesus Christ, as mentioned here, “ …who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “he” in this verse is the “man of sin”.

Everything Shut Up to Keep the People of God Out.
“Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” Joshua 6:1-2

Today, the State of Israel is shut up from other countries that surround it. As we see, they have been in 18 wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948. Also, they have shut out Jesus Christ.

Today, the doors are securely shut because of the people of God, because we are open and permissive about people being the temple of Holy Spirit. The global trend is to prohibit anyone from entering the presence of God and not allowing anyone to exit a Godless lifestyle. The intent is to make people the seat of government for the entity that governs through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. That is why the Holy Spirit speaks to us through this verse, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.”

Whenever there is a global agenda to shut the doors to belief in God, to shut out Jesus Christ, and to prohibit entry into the presence of the Holy Spirit, there is going to be bad consequences. This present Godless system is headed to calamity, like the Lord said to Joshua, “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.”

God is being shut out.
Today, war has been made against belief in the Living God. Humanism centers all of their attention on the human being and denies the existence of any Divine God. Those who live for the entity giving them what to think, feel, say, and do wears the fig leaf of humanism, and they despise God. This present global government and its global culture are keeping the doors leading to God securely shut. They are not allowing anyone to enter into the belief of God and refuse to let anyone out of the state of unbelief.

“Then it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, 
His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 
It was granted to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
And authority was given it over every tribe, tongue, and nation.”
Revelation 13:6-7

Jesus Christ is being shut out.
Jesus Christ gave His life as an atonement of sin so that we could reconcile to God. Because of Jesus Christ, our body has been made the home of the Holy Spirit. That is exactly what today’s culture does not want to happen. They want to claim the human body as the seat of government for the entity that intertwines itself into physiology. They vigilantly close the door to anyone coming to Jesus Christ and refuse to let anyone leave their Godless life to come to Jesus. The churches play a dominant role in keeping the door securely shut by discarding the Gospel of Christ. The only way to open up to God is through Jesus,

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6

Holy Spirit is being shut out.
People are the temple of the Holy Spirit, so when the Holy Spirit is shut out it makes a person vulnerable to unGodly influences. Shutting out the Holy Spirit makes a way for the entity who governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors to establish its seat of government in us. The Holy Spirit gives us communion with God through Jesus Christ and carries out the process of setting us apart from other internal influences. He enables us to discern thoughts, emotions, and feelings that come to us through the beast that has power over physiology. The entity with power over physiology wants to take up residence in our mind and heart. Discernment of thoughts and intents of the heart is with us through the Holy Spirit and inspired Word of God, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Today’s culture is adamant about keeping the mind and heart closed to the Holy Spirit and not allowing anyone to exit from a mind and heart held captive to carnal activity. The Holy Spirit is being taken out of the way and lawlessness is already seen in cities around the world.

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work;
only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 
And then the lawless one will be revealed, 
whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8

Making people the seat of government for the mark of the beast.
The sole purpose for shutting out God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is to make people the seat of government for the entity with power over physiology. By the power it has over physiology it is able to impose thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and emotions to take over the flesh and blood body. The world serves it for its ability to enhance physical capabilities. It is able to give uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, physical healings, extraordinary skills, uncanny authority over others, amazing physical feats and accomplishments, can mimic any emotion, etc. It empowers with the authority to succeed as today’s culture boasts, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4

By shutting out God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the beast is able to set itself up as God in the temple of God, our body.

“It opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped,
so that it sits in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.”
2 Thessalonians 2:4

After the doors are shut to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the entity with power over physiology is able to take control of the global population. “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.” Revelation 13:8 From that time forward, the world steadily declines as the second through seventh seals reveal. The seven trumpets begin to blow at the opening of the seventh seal, and with the seven trumpets come the seven last plagues. The seven last plagues are listed in Revelation 16.

Seals that Open Before the Trumpets Sound

• Second seal is a fiery red horse with a great sword which takes peace from the earth, and people kill each other.
• Third seal is a black horse with balances showing it costs a whole day’s wages for a little bit of food and the oil and wine is not touched
• Fourth seal is a pale horse with the name of Death, and Hades followed. A quarter of the population of the earth is killed by the sword, hunger, death, and by the beasts of the earth.
• Fifth seal is the vision of the deaths of those who live their life for the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. They cry out, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” The response to them is, “that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.”
• Sixth seal is when the governors of the world begin to lose control over what is happening to the planet. Environmental disasters begin to occur, there is global upheaval, national leaders, global leaders, the wealthy, military generals, people of renown, and everyone else begins covering themselves. This is the beginning of the end, when the seven trumpets of Jericho prepare to blow.
• Seventh seal opens and heaven goes silent. The seven Angels are handed the seven trumpets, while another Angel had the prayers of all the saints which ascended into the presence of God. The prayers of the saints initiated the judgments of God and thrown to the earth are noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

The Seven Trumpets and Seven Plagues are Unleashed While Circling Jericho (Global “Democracy”)
These seven Trumpets destroys the global economy and plagues people with disease as
violence breaks out globally. Jesus Christ returns when the Seventh Trumpet sounds.

“You will march around the city, all you men of war; you will go all around the city once.
This you will do six days. And seven priests will bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark.”
Joshua 3-4a

• First Trumpet and First Plague: The first trumpet sounds and destroys 1/3 of trees and all green grass is burned up, along with the spilling of blood. This would definitely affect the resources of the earth, causing damage to the global economy and inciting skyrocketing inflation.
  
  At the same time, the global culture is beginning to experience the effects of the first plague, they have severe, malignant, and festering sores. Worse than boils. This would also affect the unemployment rate and the ability to recruit healthy employees. I think of the massive wildfires, endemics, and pandemics that this world is already seeing.
• Second Trumpet and Second Plague: The second trumpet sounds and turns 1/3 of the sea into blood while killing ocean life and destroying 1/3 of ships. Ships would include commercial fishing boats, huge cargo barges of merchandise, military ships etc. That would definitely be another huge blow to the global economy, driving inflation even higher.
  
  The second plague turns the sea into blood as of a dead person and causes everyone in the “sea” to die. The human diseases would definitely affect the ability to find employees, which complicates the global economy. This is surely a deadly blood borne disease. The blood of the sea of the second trumpet is obviously talking about the ocean, but the sea of the second plague is apparently speaking of the “sea” as being a population of people. This is definitely not a good era to be embracing membership in the global culture. Human suffering is horrid and global prosperity is collapsing.
• Third Trumpet and Third Plague: The third trumpet sounds and the fresh water sources are turned bitter, and people die from drinking it. It is probably nuclear contamination because the source is from “a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch.” Two thousand years ago there were not words to describe gunpowder, and rockets flying through the sky with nuclear capability would have been unfathomable. That is why the Holy Spirit uses symbolism to speak to future generations. In the year 2022, we can immediately identify the symbolism by the things in the world. The lack of fresh water would affect personal hygiene, the ability to flush toilets, it would prohibit most cooking, irrigation of crops would be stopped, store shelves would be bare, hospitals incapable of functioning, etc. The lack of fresh water would add to the complications of a disease-stricken world and add to the global calamity of economic collapse.
  
  The third plague is to give blood to drink to those responsible for killing God’s people. The third plague turns the fresh waters of rivers and springs into blood. The third trumpet is obviously talking about the contamination of fresh water, but fresh water in this third plague apparently refers to ruining whatever freshness is left in the world. For example, fresh gatherings turn into deadly crowd surges, fresh shopping experiences turn into altercations, fresh time of relaxation turns into a deadly mishap, etc.
• Fourth Trumpet and Fourth Plague: The fourth trumpet sounds and 1/3 of the light from the sun, moon and stars are darkened, a 1/3 of the day does not shine and same for the night.
  
  The fourth plague is global warming as the sun’s intense heat scorches people, but they blaspheme God and refuse to repent. In this year 2022, scientists caused a satellite to crash against an asteroid to knock it off course “as a rehearsal to save the planet.” I can imagine scientists trying to do something similar to the sun to try to cool the earth and control its intense heat. It’s like trying to blow out a part of the sun’s flames, which gives a sneak preview into “1/3” of the sun being darkened when the fourth trumpet sounds. Also, scientists are devising ways to cover the skies with some sort of chemical clouding to darken the skies and cool the heat of the sun. Today’s trend is to rely more and more on solar energy from the sun to transition into a “clean energy” world. The problems with the sun ruins that.
• Fifth Trumpet and Fifth Plague: The fifth trumpet sounds and arising from the global chaos comes a multitude of tormenters. They swarm the earth like locusts and are commanded by God to torment everyone except those who have God’s seal on their forehead. The faithful few followers of Jesus Christ have that seal. That means all of those who live for the entity giving them what to think, feel, say, and do will be tormented to the point to where they wish they could die. The tormenters are commanded not to kill, so they obviously have no guns nor weapons with the capacity to kill. They bring their torment for about the last “five months” of the “42 month” existence of the reign of the entity with power over physiology.
  
  The fifth plague plunges the power center of the beast into darkness. As a result of the black-out, those who were living by the entity that gives them what to say, do, feel, and think are no longer empowered. They no longer have uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, etc. They are now gnawing their tongues in pain and continue to blaspheme God and refuse to repent. They no longer have uncanny sensual comforts and health. The fifth trumpet is when the tormenters arise, and it coincides to this fifth plague when the power center of the beast is not functioning. Multitudes of people will be bringing vengeance against the once powerful global government of the beast because its power no longer exists to manipulate emotions, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.
• Sixth Trumpet and Sixth Plague: The sixth trumpet sounds, and a global war breaks out. Obviously, the world powers have plenty of weapons to kill with because 1/3 of whatever remains of the population are killed with “smoke, fire, and brimstone.” Still, no one repents of their deeds. 2000 years ago, gun powder was unheard of, and nuclear weapons absolutely unfathomable. To envision people being killed by “smoke, fire, and brimstone” is the foreknowledge of the Holy Spirit describing today’s armed world.
  
  The sixth plague paves a way for the global war called Armageddon. The global war happens after the beast that has power over physiology is rendered powerless by the black-out. It no longer has the ability to manipulate thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions. Heightened intuition, uncanny knowledge, and extraordinarily gifted smooth-talk no longer exists. In fact, after the black-out, the powers behind the government of the beast sound like frogs (demonic frogs) when they talk. The mark of the beast is no longer functioning. The nations around the world are rallied to war to do battle the old-fashioned way.

“But the seventh day you will march around the city seven times, and the priests will blow the trumpets. 
It will come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people will shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat.
And the people will go up every man straight before him.”
Joshua 6:4b-5

Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Plague: At this point, the global economy is destroyed, the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness, and the violence of war dominates. After a complete collapse of this world’s system, the Seventh Trumpet sounds and Jesus Christ returns, the Day of the Lord is a wonderfully fearful day.

The seventh plague comes with thunderings, lightnings, and a great earthquake, an earthquake so severe it has never been experienced in the history of the earth, and the cities of the nations fall. I can envision the thundering of bombs, the flashes from explosions, and the earth totally shaking around the globe. The inhabitants of the earth blaspheme God for their sufferings.
