REVELATION 21:

NOT CONCERNING THE CHURCH!

PART ​​ III

 

JAN LILLEBY

 

 ​​​​ In this Part III of my article series on Revelation 21, we shall have a closer look at one of the phenomena mentioned in Rev.​​ 21, already in verse 1.

I ended Part II by adding some​​ End-notes​​ from lexica with Greek side remarks.

It says among other things that there shall be NO MORE SEA…on that ‘New’ earth. From NASB,

Then​​ I​​ saw​​ a​​ new​​ heaven​​ and a​​ new​​ earth; for the​​ first​​ heaven​​ and the​​ first​​ earth​​ passed​​ away, and there is​​ no​​ longer​​ any​​ sea.

 

THE ‘CASE’ OF​​ THE MEDITERRANEAN’S​​ DISAPPEARING

 

How is the Mediterranean influenced by the vast disasters shown in Rev. 6 and on, not the least​​ Rev. 8​​ with the several asteroids falling from the sky?

If you have read my article on such phenomena as ‘Pole Shifts’ – you will have learned that God in His might is able to make the Poles shift by hitting earth with huge asteroids!

But in​​ Rev. 21​​ telling of no more sea on the new earth, we must take into consideration what will happen to the Med regarding the ‘Great Tribulation’ described in​​ Rev. 6​​ and on…the Seven Seals, the Seven Trumpets and the Seven Bowls of Wrath. These contain enormous disasters hitting earth in Israel as well as in the Med Sea.

These ​​ - to my opinion – have everything to do with what is said in​​ Rev. 21:1​​ of​​ no more sea…for we find a big asteroid hitting the Med in​​ Rev. 8:8, 9,​​ NASB, as the second angel blows his trumpet,

“8​​ The second angel sounded, and something like a​​ great mountain burning with fire​​ was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,​​ 

 

9​​ and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.

 

I wrote an article on that well known​​ (NASA is keeping close watch of this, check out their web site)​​ asteroid passing very close to the earth,​​ Apophis.​​ It has the length of about 345 meters, and if it hits down in the Eastern Med it will explode with the power of near 100 Megaton TNT.​​ Some scientists say 300 Megatons.​​ Creating very devastating tsunamis which will hit Haifa and Tel Aviv, maybe as tall as 60-70 meters! It will cause collateral damages to both the North shores and South shores of the Med, meaning it may destroy Antalya and other tourist resorts in Turkey, and likewise with Alexandria in Egypt. Crete and Cyprus will of course be devastated, no doubt.​​ See image here of my​​ theoretical site​​ of the splashdown.​​ 

 

Now we can better understand what Jesus spoke of, saying that​​ people will be taken with fear and despair in mad panic, as they try to take cover from these coming disasters,​​ Luke 21:25, 26, NASB,

 

“25​​ "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,​​ 

 

26​​ men fainting from fear and​​ the expectation​​ of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.​​ 

 

The reason for people in Israel taken with panic and fear is because the two prophets in Rev. 11 are prophesying these disasters – letting the people know what is coming upon them!​​ People get an​​ expectation​​ of the disasters which comes upon them.​​ They shall prophesy for 1260 days it says, which is three and a half Jewish years.

 

And: Such a​​ mega-hit on earth will​​ cause a severe Pole Shift!

 

But also, needless to say, it will​​ alter the seafloor in the Med greatly, and probably start a series of utmost changes in the whole​​ structure of this ocean. It is​​ the starting-process made by God, to have the seafloor in the Med RISE and thus ‘pushing’ its body of saltwater out into the Atlantic. The Polar Shift caused by the asteroids during the Great Tribulation will make the North Pole shift towards West, away from Greenland and Iceland and Northern Norway…..and thus we can safely say that God’s process in making a ‘restored/refurbished New earth has started. It may even take most of the millennial Kingdom​​ time​​ in Israel to have the Med emptied of water.​​ It has to be made slowly, so to spare lives.​​ 

 

This is my private theory on what will take place in this regard. I shall come back to this matter if I discover new elements of interest in Scripture.

 

One of the reasons for wanting to ‘empty​​ the Mediterranean may be that it will have its waters turn into BLOOD,​​ Rev. 8:8. ​​​​ How can one get rid of this, other than using the method of emptying the ocean?​​ It is obvious that this blood-effect is not forever. It will have to be flushed out somehow.

 

And on top of that:​​ One third of the ships shall sink, and one third of the creature in the sea died.​​ That means a whole lot of wreckage and dead fish and animal bodies lying there…polluting the​​ ocean severely. So, God in His wisdom finds a way to empty the place and get rid of all this waste. Just my personal opinion, but who knows?

 

In addition to that one asteroid falling into the Med, there are more to happen.​​ Rev. 8:10-12, NASB,​​ an asteroid with poisons of Wormwood,

 

«10​​ The​​ third​​ angel​​ sounded, and a​​ great​​ star​​ fell​​ from​​ heaven,​​ burning​​ like​​ a​​ torch, and it​​ fell​​ on a​​ third​​ of the​​ rivers​​ and on the​​ springs​​ of​​ waters.​​ 

11​​ The​​ name​​ of the​​ star​​ is​​ called​​ Wormwood; and a​​ third​​ of the​​ waters​​ became​​ wormwood, and​​ many​​ men​​ died​​ from the​​ waters,​​ because​​ they were​​ made​​ bitter.”

And when the third angel blows his trumpet, I believe that we are told of the​​ collateral​​ damages​​ following the strike of the asteroids, verse 12,​​ 

“12​​ The​​ fourth​​ angel​​ sounded, and a​​ third​​ of the​​ sun​​ and a​​ third​​ of the​​ moon​​ and a​​ third​​ of the​​ stars​​ were​​ struck,​​ so​​ that a​​ third​​ of them would be​​ darkened​​ and the​​ day​​ would not​​ shine​​ for a​​ third​​ of it, and the​​ night​​ in the​​ same​​ way.

The smoke and steams and debris from the fallen big asteroids cause the sun to be blurred, losing much light – it says one third of it. It could remind us of what science has said of an eventual nuke-war: It could create an ‘Atomic Winter’. If a third of light is gone, then we must expect temperatures to get lower.

If such tendencies arrives, then it might be corrected – since Rev.​​ 16 ​​​​ prophecy of a​​ strong heat-wave​​ causing people to be suffering under the sun’s extreme heat,​​ Rev. 16:8-12, NASB,

 

“8​​ The​​ fourth​​ angel​​ poured​​ out his​​ bowl​​ upon the​​ sun, and it was​​ given​​ to it to​​ scorch​​ men​​ with​​ fire.​​ 

9​​ Men​​ were​​ scorched​​ with​​ fierce​​ heat; and they​​ blasphemed​​ the​​ name​​ of​​ God​​ who​​ has​​ the​​ power​​ over​​ these​​ plagues, and they did not​​ repent​​ so as to​​ give​​ Him​​ glory.​​ 

10​​ Then​​ the​​ fifth​​ angel​​ poured​​ out his​​ bowl​​ on the​​ throne​​ of the​​ beast, and his​​ kingdom​​ became​​ darkened; and they​​ gnawed​​ their​​ tongues​​ because​​ of​​ pain,​​ 

11​​ and​​ they​​ blasphemed​​ the​​ God​​ of​​ heaven​​ because​​ of their​​ pains​​ and their​​ sores; and they did not​​ repent​​ of their​​ deeds.​​ 

12​​ The​​ sixth​​ angel​​ poured​​ out his​​ bowl​​ on the​​ great​​ river, the​​ Euphrates; and its​​ water​​ was​​ dried​​ up,​​ so​​ that the​​ way​​ would be​​ prepared​​ for the​​ kings​​ from the​​ east​​ *.​​ 

 

​​ All of these plagues and disasters will most probably happen due to several serious Pole Shifts!

Performed by God by using asteroids. The Pole shifts comes quickly and changes the earth’s angle with the sun, and EXTREME HEAT is cast upon the land of Israel so people go blaspheming God for this plague, verse 11. They are reprobates and mad at God…blinded by hate and disbelief. They go down in flames, as they keep on cursing.

Verse 12, with the sixth angel with a bowl…​​ on Euphrates river drying up, is also a result of these​​ Pole​​ shifts​​ – combined with the extreme heat-wave happening.

Great changes in the Mediterranean,​​ and not the least,​​ upon the land of Israel and its closest neighbors.​​ 

And yet, NONE OF THESE HAPPENINGS is concerning the Church. We will be long gone before the Great Tribulation arrives.

 

REV. 21:1 FALLS NICELY IN WITH REV. 16:17-21

 

I opened this Part III with Rev. 21:1 and the NEW earth and NEW heavens – as they are restored/refurbished/changed.

And Rev.​​ 16:17-21, NASB,​​ confirms this, in that God let islands disappear, mountain peaks leveling, ​​ and all of these enormous changes on the land near Mediterranean and the islands, comes from God performing great​​ Pole Shifts​​ as meteors and asteroids hits the earth and the sea,​​ - quote,

 

“17​​ Then​​ the​​ seventh​​ angel​​ poured​​ out his​​ bowl​​ upon the​​ air, and a​​ loud​​ voice​​ came​​ out of the​​ temple​​ from the​​ throne,​​ saying, "It is​​ done."​​ 

18​​ And there were​​ flashes​​ of​​ lightning​​ and​​ sounds​​ and​​ peals​​ of​​ thunder; and there was a​​ great​​ earthquake,​​ such​​ as there had not​​ been​​ since​​ *​​ man​​ came​​ to be upon the​​ earth,​​ so​​ great​​ an​​ earthquake​​ was it, and​​ so​​ mighty.​​ 

19​​ The​​ great​​ city​​ (Jerusalem, my adding)​​ was​​ split​​ into​​ three​​ parts, and the​​ cities​​ of the​​ nations​​ fell.​​ Babylon​​ the​​ great​​ was​​ remembered​​ before​​ God, to​​ give​​ her the​​ cup​​ of the​​ wine​​ of His​​ fierce​​ wrath.​​ 

20​​ And​​ every​​ island​​ fled​​ away, and the​​ mountains​​ were not​​ found.​​ 

21​​ And​​ huge​​ hailstones,​​ about​​ one​​ hundred​​ pounds​​ each,​​ came​​ down​​ from​​ heaven​​ upon​​ men; and​​ men​​ blasphemed​​ God​​ because​​ of the​​ plague​​ of the​​ hail,​​ because​​ its​​ plague​​ was​​ extremely​​ severe.​​ 

 

The hail-stones are the same thing which happened to the Amorite-army​​ which Joshua killed on the ‘Prolonged Day’ in 1398 BC, told in​​ Jos. 10:12, 13​​ when stones from heaven killed that​​ big army of enemies. And these stones caused the earth to have Pole Shift making the effect of​​ the sun stand still at High Noon​​ for 10-12 hours!

The stones in Rev. 16 seem to be a repetition of the same effects.

Such stones fall and​​ become glowing ‘bombs’​​ which destroys everything they hit. It hits as explosions. They are as small deadly meteors.

Now, all of these frightful plagues with asteroids, meteors and hail-stones (not of ice) falling from the sky, plus earthquakes of huge dimensions, sudden changes in the solar system – it all IS AIMED AT WHAT GOD WILL MAKE AFTER THE MILLENNIA: A ‘New’ earth and a ‘New’ heaven, to receive that New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. ​​ He combines the Great Tribulation with what shall come​​ after​​ the Millennia, so that it starts the​​ process​​ of making the earth​​ new, in quality​​ (Greek​​ Kainos).

God has it all in full control, every little thing in detail. His creative power will be controlling the whole process described in Revelation. We can be sure of that.
