Sting of the Trumpets

Neal Frisby, The Sting of the Trumpets (Part One) BK 16 | October 15, 1973

Editor's Note: See the 7 Year Tribulation Timeline for additional understanding of the events listed in the Bible

The following notes and excerpts are taken from the message delivered by Evangelist Neal Frisby. These excerpts do not represent all pertinent statements from the message.

Pg 3

Rev. 8:1-13, and we'll reveal different parts right out to Armageddon and the Great Day of the Lord.

Now the trumpets are the minor plagues and we'll put each one in perspective and they're in consecutive order as God gives them.

Pg 4

But there are two major events to take place before the Trumpets sound. One of those is the Translation and it's associated to the seventh seal and this seal is the seal of evidence -- it has the evidence and it's in motion. The seal is working right in with the Elect Bride! And there is a message with it.

Now the other thing to occur before the Trumpets is the Hebrew Children, one hundred and forty-four thousand of those in Israel will be sealed by God! He will come down and seal those and then will appear two great prophets to those -- it says two witnesses and it says two prophets.

We'll start with this. "And when he had opened the seventh seal there was a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." Rev 8:1 Now in heavenly time no one knows how much time that is.

You remember when John was caught in Revelation chapter four -- John was caught up through an open door and he said it sounded like a trumpet talking to him and he turned around and he saw the Redeeming Rainbow which goes to the Elect Man-Child, the first fruits, the Brideship! And he saw the Rainbow, and when he looked as he said it sounded like a trumpet talking to him. He said "I saw one sit and he was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone -- He was wrapped in a rainbow -- He was crystal diamond look and He sparkled!

It also was like unto an emerald around the throne there -- sort of like the seats which are in this building and the lights along the walls here! As this prophet was caught away into the open door -- he was raptured into this door then!

Daniel said "I saw the stone [Jesus] cut out of the mountain without hands." [not of human, but of God] This was the figure of God [Jesus] -- he said I saw the stone cut out of the mountain without hands and it smashed the image of the Beast.

Now when God starts in these trumpets, He begins to smash that image. When He goes over in the Great Day of the Lord and those plagues -- He completely annihilates the thing and it completely goes into utter chaos -- with the stone.

Pg 5

David called it -- the stone -- "that great rock". He said the builders [Jews] will reject this stone [Messiah] when it comes. Peter said, "the chief stone the very corner stone", Peter said, "was rejected"!

Jesus referred to it as the "Head Stone" in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.

Now when you get this Seventh Seal and you roll it back -- now in the Greek it means scroll or roll. You have to have a signature, a print, an image or a vision of something or it couldn't be called a seal. Because our President has a Presidential Seal, this State has a Seal and when you have a Seal generally it has something on it and when you roll back this Seal and you look, you see the immortal God sitting there with the Rainbow wrapped up with His Saints there -- the Headstone God and He has redeemed them to Himself! The Promise from the Lord! How many of you believe that? And they're caught up!

Now what causes the redeemed to get caught up in this silence is in Revelations chapter 10. When it begins to thunder in here, thunder in there and thunder in here. It's associated to this silence and catches that Bride. Now also in Revelations chapter ten, the Lord told me, it has to do with the beginning and ending of all things -- not just the Translation -- but all things! It is the restitution of all things in this chapter.

And then John took the Scroll and went out in the tribulation Temple, right on out in the trumpets, right out in the Great Day of the Lord and rolls right straight on out and it redeems the earth back to God and gives it to His Saints there in chapter ten. Now that's associated with this silence -- as we're caught up before the Throne. Now in Revelations Chapter 12:5, it says the man-child is caught up and there are forty-two months that the other seed flees upon the earth. (Verse 6, 13-17)

Revelation 12:5-6
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Now when the saints are caught up, there'll be some left on the earth because it said the foolish virgins are still here, the one hundred and forty-four thousand Jews are here and the Bride steps into a dimension and these two prophets step out of the dimension of God and go to the Jews. We know one is Elijah, the Bible says he will come before the great and terrible Day of the Lord.

Pg 6

When we get into the plagues, we'll understand the other one -- what it is. Now they're caught up there, the Man-Child shall rule the nations with a rod of iron. In this silence, we know the Lord is our King, but to the earth -- He's their Judge!

Now in this silence, the trumpets are about to sound -- they're getting ready to sound! God will execute His judgement! It's quiet just before a judge pronounces sentence, it gets quiet and everybody stands and then he pronounces the sentence.

And upon the earth those who blaspheme God, those who ridiculed His saints and those who rejected His Word are now about to be tormented and judged! The way the Bible gives it here, He will have those who are protected -- but millions will die for their faith. This is in the Bible and the Bride is standing around in this silence and when you're there something is about to happen! The earth is getting ready to go under the judgments of God! The main part of that Great Tribulation starts.

Now before we get into the main part, something else took place in Rev 8:2-4.

Revelation 8:2-4
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

We have prayed we would escape all these things that should come upon the world and stand before the Son of Man! We have prayed for our loved ones, we have prayed for the harvest, we have prayed for God to catch us up with our loved ones, now we are around the throne and the prayers of the saints are going up before God!

It says they are kept in gold vials in Revelation 5:8
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

The incense went up before God before He judges the world. The Bible says -- faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In those vials there is a substance -- faith is a substance, and if you'll get this substance in you, you'll do great exploits for God, according to His will and purposes of his divine plan. With this substance you can cast demon powers out and do mighty works for the Lord Jesus.

Pg 7

We find out this substance can be kept in the golden vials. The Lord doesn't keep unbelieving prayers, your prayer has to have something on it and that's called faith! Faith is a substance! And He answers back when the incense of these prayers comes up before Him. Now you've been rewarded -- you're standing with the King. And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth and there were voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake -- see, God answered us back.

(verse 5) Prayers went up before God! There were voices, thunderings, lightnings and an earthquake -- God answered us! Now the earth is coming under His dominion -- fiery judgement! But just before this happens, there is something to take place and it'll show you where these trumpets start.

In Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

Now that's the Holy Spirit Seal operating. These angels were given power to hurt the earth and the sea, but before they hurt the earth and the sea -- it says, saying hurt not the earth, neither the sea nor the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed and there were an hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel! The Hebrews were sealed! It said, hurt not the grass nor the green trees before these are sealed.

Now here we go -- the first trumpet -- that means these trumpets start after this and there are forty-two months left on the face of the earth then. It means also the two witnesses don't leave until the sixth trumpet -- which we'll be getting into that subject later on in the next few nights.

Here we go -- and the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. Now these go one third here and a third there and a third here, around the world -- they're only in third parts. They intensify and get stronger and stronger as they go on down until the Great Day of the Lord.

Revelation 8:6-7
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Pg 8

And the first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingeld with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up! Asteroid bodies beginning to break up in the heavens -- fragments are turning loose. Hail, fire mingled with blood cast upon the earth! One third of all the trees -- the green grass burnt -- famine has set in! While these two prophets are upon the earth during this time there are curses upon the earth -- it's wracked with curses! Watch this, there's no way to stop it!

Now a third of the trees and a third of all the grass -- in there he says all the green grass. It seems to just burn it! There's no way out of it!

Now watch the symbols here -- hail, fire mingled with blood! The very things the world rejected -- now they're being judged by it. And the Holy Spirit said, watch the hail -- like water, they rejected the water! He said, watch the fire -- like the Holy Spirit -- they rejected the Holy Spirit! He said, watch the blood -- they rejected the blood of the eternal Christ to give eternal life! Now they're visited in judgement! Hail, fire mingled with blood cast upon the earth -- and bang -- the trees are burnt up! All the green grass!

If they would have accepted the water, and accepted the blood, and the fire of the Holy Spirit then it would have spread life to them, but by the same token it now spreads death wherever it goes and it doesn't stop. It's under complete orders -- it does not stop until a third of all the trees and the green grass is burnt! That's the sounding of the first trumpet as the asteroid bodies begin to break up in to celestial judgments, hurled upon the earth!

And the second angel sounded -- now notice these SOUNDS and SOUNDS.

Revelation 10:7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

In the days of the Voice of the Seventh Angel -- SOUNDING, "in this case a message in the silence and 10:4 Thunders. That's Christ and He visits in a prophet in that dimension and He SOUNDS! -- Also in each one of those trumpets, Christ He SOUNDS and he SOUNDS (Rev 11:15) throughout Revelation (time).

Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

And the second angel sounded as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast in the sea and a third part of the sea became blood and a third part of the creatures which were in the sea had life -- died!

Revelation 8:8-9
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Pg 9

A blazing meteorite, a burning mountain, miles across it -- came from interplanetary space and struck into the sea with a force of eight or ten megatons, hydrogen bombs!

Because in Arizona before the population was here thousands of years ago -- one came into the atmosphere, struck in Winslow, dug a hole in the ground sixty stories deep, three miles around and a mile across and killed all plant and animal life within a hundred miles just from the impact! The scientists said it had the force of several megaton "atomic bombs"! -- it came with such speed and fire until rocks turned into industrialized diamonds when it first hit and just tore up the ground, wobbled the earth, brought huge tidal waves in where the rim of the ocean is today.

They have proof, but this was before the population was here. The fountains of the deep were broken up during the flood and the tides came in because these asteroid bodies have struck and they have places upon the earth to prove it and they're beginning to break loose.

Now this burning mountain -- that was burning as fire -- was a meteorite. We can explain that if you'll get our book "Prophet in Eclipse" I break down how a comet circles the sun.

Pg 10

Now the comet [Kohoutek] will no doubt go back into space later before it can become a meteorite, but some day soon large ones will fall to earth.

If it breaks off it becomes a meteor, if it falls into atmosphere and hits the ground it becomes a metorite and they can come small or they can come large.

Pg 11

In Rev 8:8 this was a flaming blazing meteorite from interplanetary space and it's hurled into the sea and when it hits the sea with the force of many megaton bombs! It ruptures the ocean, churns up the bottom -- whales and fish, one third of the fish in the sea die, it said! It takes them to the top and some they've never even seen before, and blood -- it said it churned with blood in the sea! it spouts a thousand feet in the air, tidal waves a hundred -- two hundred feet in the air. Coast line from here probably to Tokyo.

Should this blazing huge mountain that the prophet saw, hit between the Atlantic and the Pacific and hits that continental shelf it'll hit and there'll be landslides and earthquakes from here to Alaska and around clear on out. As God begins to judge the earth!

Now these are just by third -- wait until you get into the great plagues. These are the minor plagues of the trumpets while the two witnesses are upon the earth. It said a third of all shipping yards were destroyed -- meaning the tidal waves came in -- a third of all shipping yards. It was judgment in the first magnitude a powerful judgment upon the face of the earth -- that's the second trumpet. The ships were destroyed, a mountain burning with fire fell into the sea and it became as blood and a third part of the things in the sea died -- came up. Great judgment from the Lord!

In Exodus -- I took a notation with the first trumpet -- in Exodus when Moses plagued Egypt, it was a plague of hail and lightning run along the ground and it destroyed the barley and the flax. But it said, the wheat and the rye hadn't come up yet and it was protected -- this seed was like a tribulation seed, protected there during that time -- some of them.

The first trumpet was the plague of hail similar to the seventh plague that Moses had in Egypt. And the one we just got through with -- blood in the sea -- under the second trumpet was the first plague that Moses gave when the water turned to blood and that's Exodus 7:20-25. And the plague of hail is Exodus 9:22-35. Now those plagues are in similarity of what has happened here -- Now before I get any further -- well, I'll just leave this here, I can come back to this in a minute here.

Pg 12

Now we go to the third trumpet, Rev. 8:10 -- and the third angel sounded and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. And "the name" of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became Wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter!

Now this here is a star burning like a lamp and it comes from outer space. It's not like the meteorite that was passing in an asteroid belt and pulled out! -- This says it had a name -- it was called a star burning like a lamp, it had poisonous gases in it because it was still burning, it had broken off from a star and it was still alive. It said when it came down it made the waters and the rivers a third part of them poison and how men are poisoned with this.

It was burning like a lamp -- it was a star from outer space and it had gases in it. Now I believe this, while there are tidal waves and earthquakes in the directions of the Western Hemisphere, possibly in different places, this would fall over in, I would say, the area of where the old Babylon or pagan Rome anti-christ kingdom was -- where the new anti-christ kingdom will start or is today when this judgment plague happens and Eastern, Western Europe in there is all your Alps mountains and all along in the various regions there, where all the water supplies are. And all the water and the lakes and the rivers come down through here!

This great star broke up over all the waters and a third of them became poisoned. It was in that area where the Christians were fed to lions during ancient Rome. It was where they were poisoned -- in the same area and they died by the millions and millions in the same area of the Roman empire of those days during that time -- Babylon there. And now because of the judgment on the earth and also in our modern times the judgment of the antichrist because that God is moving they are given poison themselves to drink and it said it was named Wormwood and man men died because of the waters! Because they were made bitter!

Now remember this, these plagues here are minor plagues and yet the whole earth is beginning to wonder what's happening. They intensify each time, each one of these trumpets begin to intensify and each time they intensify, God does something.

There's a symbol and there's a revelation to it God has given you each time that we go through one of these. It even gave the name of the star -- it separated it from the burning mountain showing that it was different. And that would be the region that it would have to fall in.

Pg 13

When it came from outer space the poison in the gases from this star which broke up, the poison from it would begin to grow just like water itself and spread -- there's no medical science, nothing could stop it! They die by the millions and millions, the earth being plagued!

Now you remember that these two prophets appear, they appear at the beginning of the last forty-two months [3 1/2 Years] (Rev. 11:3-10) and they stay on almost for the forty-two months, right about that time and here's what is says about them:

Revelation 11:3-10
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days [3 1/2 Years], clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

And after they die and they kill them -- I'll show you that it's two prophets, it says they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth. Fire, blood and power! They leave on the sixth trumpet when they die and they're caught up into heaven then!

Somebody said -- one of them couldn't be Moses, he died. Lazarus died too and he died the second time and he will be raised again! Besides that many know -- no one could find Moses' body -- "but later they did look around and see Jesus -- the three disciples -- and there appeared Moses and Elijah it said, as two witnesses on each side of Him, standing right together! Luke 9:29-32)

Pg 14

Now we'll come here -- and the fourth angel sounded (Rev. 8:12) and the third part of the sun was smitten and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so as the third part of them was darkened and the day shone not for a third part of it and the night likewise. God screening the heavens -- I will cause the sun to go down at noon. The Bible says He will begin to darken the earth! Men are beginning to run here and there and what has happened to the earth?

The antichrist is beginning to shake wondering what is beginning to happen now. For about a third of the day the sun will only shine, for a third of the night the moon and the stars are only seen. They're vacillating -- God warning them -- scientists are perplexed, they don't know what to think of it, what's caused this scientific wonder! They can't describe it -- God changing the heavens around.

The millennium is coming -- the Lord beginning to rule in the heavens, and when you begn to smite those stars and begin to move those stars and begin to do things with them in their courses, the earth begins to open up, it begins to split and crack -- begins to rupture because the gravitational pull from the heavenly bodies -- the earth, the Bible says, the earth is out of its courses (Ps. 82:5) -- watch.

Psalms 82:5

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

It also says while it begins to get gloomy, vacillating, the Lord is warning that even more deadlier plagues are intensified and shall come upon the world. The first four trumpets are celestial judgments that God sends to the earth and the earth is beginning to shake under it! Now He never will completely, during the Tribulation, completely destroy all of it but it'll be baptized with a fire of judgment that has never been seen before and never shall see the likes, exactly like it again!

Now the first four trumpets is in the celestial judgments. Read Rev. 8:13.

Revelation 8:13
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Now this is after the fourth angel sounded. Now we step up into momentum and intesification. God just got through warning them when He smote the sun, the moon and the stars that something more was coming. And tomorrow night the three angels -- woe, woe, woe -- the first woe, the fifth trumpet begins and the plagues become more intensified!

Remember in these trumpets there are a third here and a third there. But when we go over in the Great Day of the Lord and the golden vials where Deity plagues are poured out, they're world wide in scope -- then every living soul in the sea died! Watch how He moves now towards the end.

Tomorrow night we'll start in the first woe -- now there's three of them -- but the first woe is the fifth trumpet and it speaks of the angel who goes to the bottomless pit and Abaddon which is named after him, Abaddon and Apollyon! That's where the "locust demon scorpions" come out of and cover the heavens so black you can hardly see! The infernal locusts and they sting men and I felt lead to title these sermons "the Sting of the Trumpets"

Horrible things come upon the earth, hair like women it said they have teeth like lions -- some supernatural different creatures turned loose from Abaddon the wretched pit and the trumpet sounds and the tempo steps up and the earth is jarred by God's judgment. First four celestial judgments, now He turns and the earth opens up from Abaddon and out of the pits come the denom locusts!

The first woe, and then the two prophets are killed on the second woe, the sixth trumpet the infernal horsemen appear!

Each place will come to it's rightful order and God will show you when those two prophets go and how that God begins to move among the Tribulation End and what is left when they go and what becomes of the seventh trumpet that unleashes the seven golden vials and the Great Day of the Lord!
