Now let’s continue with just another verse or two here in Daniel 7. “But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.” Babylon the Great is going to be destroyed. “And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him” (vs. 26-27). Now see where the book of Daniel goes. It ends right up there with the Feast of Trumpets and then a projection forward here to the Feast of Tabernacles and what that means.

Ok, let’s come to the end of chapter 8, verse 23. “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full,…” Now let’s ask a question: what does it mean for the transgressions to come to the full? And let’s ask another question: how long does that take? Hold your place here and let’s go back to Genesis 15. Let’s see what God told Abraham. Now we’re not saying that the time equivalent is the same as back there in Genesis 15, but what we are saying is that when God’s Word says that the transgressors are going to come to the full it’s going to be the fullest that has ever been. And so we need to realize that and understand that.

Let’s pick it up here Genesis 15:16. This is when He promised Abraham that his descendents would be brought out of Egypt after they were made slaves. He says here, verse 16, “But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.” Well at that time God gave the Amorites another four hundred years. Now we haven’t yet fully understood what it means for the transgressors to come to the full. We haven’t yet seen how far man is going to go. We’re getting closer to seeing how far he can go. But it’s going to happen.

Ok, now back here to Daniel 8, and this tells us when the beast power is going to come in. Now the beast power is not here yet. “…When the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:…” It’s going to be the power of Satan the devil. Now we’ll see that in just a minute – Revelation 13 – Satan the devil gives him his power. “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice,…” See, there’s going to be a three and a half year period prior to the beginning of the tribulation where it’s going to look like utopia’s finally going to be created by men on earth but it’s going to all come apart right in the middle of that time period. “…And shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” (Dan. 8:23-24). Now that refers to the descendants of Israel as well as we will see, against those who are in the church.

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper…” Now let me tell you something what is being done in the world today through the media and through especially now with Harry Potter, and the way that they are running the public schools, the way that they are running the government, the way that all things are coming together, it is becoming more and more of an occult society and witchcraft, and everyone is being prepared to accept all of this. So when he comes he will come to a ready made people who will hail him as a savior of the world – the anti-Christ. “…And he shall magnify himself in his heart,…” Just put in your margin there 2 Thessalonians 2. Go right into the temple of God and say that he himself is god. “…And by peace [that could also be prosperity] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand” (vs. 25). And we will see exactly how that takes place because that occurs on the Feast of Trumpets. So brethren, once again these holy days picture tremendous and huge and fantastic events.

Now then just mention, Daniel 9. Daniel 9, the first part of it has to be, is Daniels prayer of repentance, and confession, and asking God’s forgiveness. Now could this also be a type of the children of Israel in captivity at the end time being led in repentance, then out of which come the 144,000. And of course then we have the great innumerable multitude, and Daniel 9 ends up talking about Christ.

Then we have Daniel 10, 11, and 12, and that brings us right up to the end-times through the book of Daniel. But the book of Daniel is only the first half. In order to understand the events that are going to take place you have to have the second half. And that second half was not given until God gave the revelation to the Apostle John.

Now let’s come to the book of Revelation and let’s look at some things here that are very profound and important and how it affects it with the Feast of Trumpets. So we’ll back up a little bit here and then we’ll go forward again. Let’s come to Revelation 8 because this is a Feast of Trumpets and the plagues that we have here beginning in Revelation 8 with the trumpet plagues are very profound.

Now I’m just going to pose a question – several of them. A day in prophecy equals one year, does it not? Now I ask the question: beginning with the trumpet plagues, are we beginning the last year from Trumpets to Trumpets? Just a possibility. But we know that Revelation 8 begins God’s direct intervention. Up to Revelation 8 it’s men against men, armies against armies. Now in Revelation 8 we now have God intervening and it’s the angels of God against men and against demons. Now you see, after the first four trumpet plagues are blown then Satan marshals all of his demons. So we have quite a thing going on here. Now at the same time, at the same time we need to understand Revelation 11 is already in place. The two witnesses are there witnessing to the world, calling down plagues whenever they will. And God is giving the witness to the world that this whole system of Babylon the Great is going to be destroyed. And here’s the beginning of the destruction of it. Right here. And through all of these, as we will see, and even as we saw with the Feast of Pentecost, when the seven last plagues are poured out men still do not repent. Just exactly like Belshazzar and those people who were there feasting with him didn’t believe that it was going to happen. Well, it’s going to happen just like God says.

Now let’s pick it up here. Let’s come to Revelation 8, and let’s pick it up here in verse 5. And here, if this begins on the Feast of Trumpets, now there are seven trumpets that are going to be blown – not all at once. See, the Feast of Trumpets is a memorial of blowing trumpets of all day long. So what we have here in the last year is war continually all the way through. Gigantic, huge, just mind-boggling wars and death and destruction. So bad that Jesus said unless God had limited those days and set a time limit on it there would be no flesh saved alive. Now let’s understand the magnitude of these things, you see.

Now verse 5, “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 lighnings, and an earthquake.” God always gives a warning. Now this warning is over so here comes the first of the angels. “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” (Rev. 8:5-7). Now we’re going to see that when all the green grass is burned up that after it’s burned up then it comes back again because life still is going on. We need to understand that. And even though there’s war plants still grow unless they’re destroyed, trees still grow unless they’re destroyed. Things keep on that way.

Now the second angel sounded. And we don’t know how quickly these things take place. We don’t know if it’s going to be month by month. We don’t know exactly how it’s going to be. We don’t know the time frame in-between, but it appears that the first four are really quite in rapid succession because the fifth seal and the sixth seal take a lot longer time to take place. “And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea [so here, tremendous events are taking place]: and the third part of the sea became blood; 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” (vs. 8-9). There are going to be tidal waves, tsunami’s and all of those things going on at that time. It’s going to be unreal. You know, it talks about there in Luke 21 that the events and signs and things that are going to take place are going to be so awesome that men are going to be dying of heart attacks for fear of the things coming on the earth. So we are talking about a tremendous time. That’s why it says in one of the other prophecies, “What it is to you who desire the Day of the Lord?” It’s going to come. It’s going to come in God’s way, in His time, and in the things that we are reading right here.

Now then verse 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” (vs. 10-11). You see, when God’s wrath and anger and vengeance comes He brings it in great power. And men are going to understand they cannot reject God, they cannot fight God, they cannot sneer to God, they cannot devise their own ways, they cannot bring about their own societies, they cannot cast God out of the way. God is going to come and make His presence known and men are going to be, just like it says in the book of Jeremiah 25, that the dead bodies are going to be strewn from one end of heaven to the other end of heaven. So this is a tremendous and awesome event. So here’s the softening up process here.

Verse 12, “And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the 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. 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!” (vs. 12-13). See, because men are not convinced. Men are going to think that they are as great as God at this time. And He’s going to let them be in their delusion, and they are going to be as delusional as was Pharaoh and all of his army that came after the children of Israel and drowned in the Red Sea.

Now let’s come to chapter 9. “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the [abyss] bottomless pit” (Rev. 9:1). It says bottomless pit, but it means the abyss. And the abyss is where there are demons who are locked up in prison. That is the place of restraint of the demons. So he opens up the pit of the demons and out come all of these demons. And of course what do they do? They join with the forces of men, and their great armies then are empowered with extra power – demonic power. And of course then they have this super-secret weapon here, where it says that they came out as locusts on the earth.

Verse 4, “And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth,…”, because it was growing back. So whatever length of time it was from the first burning to now there was some grass left. See, it grew back up. “…Neither any green thing, neither any tree;…” Because these are precious. There’s nothing left to eat. “…But only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” So wherever the 144,000 are, and the great innumerable multitude are, these things will not come upon them because they are sealed with the Holy Spirit of God. “And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.” So apparently this is some kind of nerve type of thing which disables men and they have torment. “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them” (vs. 4-6). Then it talks about their armies and what they look like and so forth.

Verse 11, “And they had a king over them, which is the [king] angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.” In other words Satan the devil.

Now then, the first woe is past, the second is to come. Then here comes this great army, the greatest army that the world has ever seen. And God does a special thing. When the sixth angel sounds his trumpet, verse 14, it says, “…Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.” So it’s going to dry up. Of course then it will start flowing again after that. “And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men” (vs. 14-15). Now, question: is God’s schedule on time? Yes, the hour, the day, the month, and the year. Right precisely the time. So let’s understand something, though it may perceive to us that events are speeding up or slowing down, they are doing neither one. They are all on time, as God has shown. The only thing is they get a little more intense, and the intensity is what we misread as speeding up. But you see we don’t have a clue even today, how God is going to let this whole world system develop, and how great it’s going to be. And how fantastic and awesome that it is going to be. Listen, this is going to be the greatest that man has ever done. And God is not going to just hurry and get events done to please any man, whether he be a preacher, or prophet, or whatever he may call himself, you see. It’s going to be done right on His time.

So then it talks about the army of 200 million. Now the whole 200 million can’t come all at once, so you go back and you get the tape “Three Invasions From The East” and go ahead and review that. Because some of the army of 200 million are going to yet come, as we saw on Pentecost, with the seven last plagues.

Now then verse 18, “By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest of men which were not killed by these plagues…” Now notice you see, God, through all of this, all of this is giving an opportunity to repent. That’s the whole purpose of it. But notice, “…yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they would not worship [demons] devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:…” Isn’t it interesting how that many of these things also relate to the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw? “…Which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts” (vs. 18-21).

And then we have the seven thunders. Now the seven thunders are even more awesome. They are so awesome and so destructive, you can read it - Revelation 10, that God even told John, “Don’t write what the seven thunders have said.” That’s what the angel told John. “Don’t write what they do.” So we don’t know what that is. But that is going to be leading up, one of the very last things to take place.

Now then let’s come here to chapter 10:7. “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he [is about to sound, as it should read] shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets.” So then we have chapter 11, the seventh angel, verse 15, sounds. The resurrection takes place. We’ve already covered that leading up to Pentecost.

Now let’s come over here and see some things in Revelation 13 and Revelation 17, and we are going to see again, that this system described back in the book of Daniel is the system that’s coming on this earth, and it is a system that is going to be worldwide.

Now let’s pick it up here Revelation 13:1. “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns [that is Satan’s system], and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast,…” Now this is why it’s called Babylon the Great because it takes all of the beasts of Daniel 7 and it amalgamates them together. Have you ever heard of the word diversity? Have you ever heard of a diverse global society? Of course, that’s all we hear of today, right? Yes. Well this is exactly what it’s talking about.

Verse 2, “And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his [throne] seat, and great authority.” So this is the epitome now of Satan worship, of Satan’s final control of the earth through the man that we read of back there in Daniel 8. Remember it says, he causes craft to prosper in his hand. Notice what they do. He had the deadly wound that was healed. After he was brought back to life notice what happened here. All the world wondered after him, verse 3, and they all worshipped the dragon. The whole world is being softened up to worship Satan the devil.

Now let me tell you something that I believe. One of the things that is holding back a lot of this right now, is the United States of America and the grassroots people in America who believe in Christ in whatever form, but in particularly the people of the Church of God. Because let me tell you another thing. The only place in the whole world where any form of the Gospel, being it from partially true to one hundred percent true, the only place that it is emanating from to be preached is from the United States of America. We need to understand that. And so God is holding back things. But this is going to happen and when it comes it is going to be awesome.

“…The dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” And then he blasphemes God. And then he is given power over the whole earth. And he’s given power to make war with the saints of the Most High. Pick it up right here in verse 7. “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” And it will be coming. The mark of the beast is coming just like I gave in a sermon this past summer. It is going to be so pervasive by the time they come to putting the chip in the right hand or in the forehead, that people are just going to accept it as a natural course of events, and the only ones who resist it will be the people of God. Now there may be some Protestants who will resist it. But we don’t know exactly what’s going to happen in the final analysis because when it gets down to really trusting God for eating, for living, for the physical life, very few people trust God unto death. And so it’s going to come.

Now verse 8, “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” So you see, only the true saints of God will never get into this system, and will never worship the beast. And the thing that is important is this: at that time there is a great dividing line between the world and the people of God. And we are all going to have to stand in faith, in conviction, in truth, in knowledge, by the power of the Spirit, by the Holy Word of God. Now we may just end up living into those times. Now grated there are going to be a lot of senior citizens that God is going to tuck away in the grave. And if you’ve been praying to escape all these things that happen at the end, that’s how you’re going to escape. And remember God will never lay any burden upon anyone greater than he or she can bear. And if we have the strength and power of the Holy Spirit in us then we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. And we don’t have to worry.

But then now here we have coming after that the false prophet. They team up together. The false prophet does great miracles. Calls fire down from heaven. Now let’s come over to Revelation 17 because this expands out a little bit concerning the seven heads and the ten horns, the woman that sits upon the beast. Let’s come here to Revelation 17. Let’s pick it up here in verse 12. Verse 12 is a fulfillment of Daniel 2 with the ten toes. There are ten kings.

Verse 12, “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet [that is at the time that this was written]; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb [and of course, all the saints too], and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (vs. 12-14). Then he explains a little bit more about it that this great religious system that rules over the nations of the world, and there is only one religious system that sits in one city built upon seven hills which rules over the nations of the world through their power, and that is the city of Rome and the Roman Catholic Church. Now granted it has highs and lows in its powers, and granted the powers may not be as high as they have been in the past. But you can just absolutely believe and know for sure that when the false prophet comes on the scene and he does miracles, and calls fire down from heaven, and makes the image of the beast to speak that everyone is just going to flock to him and believe him and put their trust in him, and then the kings of the earth are also going to come together and they are going to do the will of the beast and the false prophet together.

Now let’s look at what the Feast of Trumpets pictures at the end, which is a very important thing – the judgment of Babylon the Great. The judgment of this whole world’s system. The judgment of the beast and the false prophet. Because the world is going to build a great world ruling empire, which the beast will inherit. And they’re going to think this is the greatest that men have ever done, and look how far we have evolved. God has another thing in store for them.

Revelation 18:1, “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of [demons] devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,…” (Rev. 18:1-3). All nations have been affected by this. Yes, and even the Churches of God. You go back and read concerning the church at Thyatira, and concerning the church at Pergamos. And probably you could throw in there the Laodiceans as well. They’ve all drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And poor Sardis is dead, just worn out. And you see we’re not to do that. This tells us very important things we need to understand, which is this: never mix the doctrines of the religions of this world with the Bible. There are a lot of witnesses as to what’s happened to that. We all know what it is. All we have to do is look at Pasadena, California and understand that when that happened God’s judgment was upon us and it was no more.

Now notice, “…and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies” (vs. 3). So we have three things: religion, government, and economics. Three things – 666 - the great society that man has made. And we are pressed by all. “…And the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”

Now here’s a warning for us. “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people,…” Now who are the people of God? The ones who are in the Church of God. There’s going to come a time we have to make a stand against the world. The world’s going to make a stand against us. And that stand is going to be, the last thing that’s coming down will be the mark of the beast. And we have to make a stand. And God says, “Come out of her, My people.” Now also we need to understand this: coming out of her religiously, get all of the doctrines of this world out. Have the pure doctrines of the Word of God, the pure Truth of the Word of God. That’s why He’s given the whole Word of God that we may know it and understand it. And we have it today. The reason is, “…that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (vs. 4-5).

Now here’s what’s going to come. Going to come the greatest judgment of all. And this is the judgment of the Feast of Trumpets upon Babylon the Great. And it’s going to end when Christ and the saints put their feet on the earth. But this is awesome. Notice what it says here. “Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow” (vs. 6-7). So that means that all the religions of the world come back to Rome. No widow. Her husband is the beast and she hasn’t lost her children. They’ve all come home to Rome.

 “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day [this is the judgment of Trumpets], death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God Who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come” (vs. 8-10). They’re going to lose everything. All corporations are going to go broke. All businesses will be worthless. All religions will come to an end. All armies are going to be destroyed. This is going to be absolutely the greatest wipe-out that has ever occurred in the history of the world. And of course they’re going to moan and groan and cry and say, “Oh, boo-hoo. Look at all that we have lost.” Well you see, God is no more going to have great corporations reaping billions on the backs of poor people. God is no more going to have people controlled with the mark of the beast. He’s no more going to have people’s minds deceived and blinded by Satan the devil. That is all coming to an end. And the Feast of Trumpets is ending it.

Now let’s come down here to verse 24. The very last verse of Revelation 18. Here’s the summary of it. “And in her was found the blood of [the] prophets,…” Because the whole spirit of Babylon goes clear back to the beginning to where? Though it wasn’t called Babylon, but it was Satan the devil, the spirit behind it, right? Now notice, “…blood of [the] prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Every war is laid at the doorstep of Babylon the Great as the final judgment, which then includes everything from the time of Adam and Eve coming right on down to our time.

Now then, here we are as we ended last time on Pentecost, I told you to come back for Trumpets for the rest of the story. This is the rest of the story. Now we’re ready to come back to the earth. We’ve seen all of these events take place. The seven last plagues have been poured out. Now the final battle is ready. They’re all assembled around Armageddon. God sent the hail weighing 180 pounds apiece, and they still didn’t repent. See, cause it’s not over yet. Now if you weren’t hit by the hail maybe you were in a…some of the soldiers were in tanks, or maybe they were in a cave. Maybe they were protected from the hail and so forth, but what happens with hail when it hits the ground? Well then it melts. So it’s all going to melt away. The hail is going to melt away and everyone is going to think, “Well, boy this is great. Let’s get ready for the battle. Let’s stop this invasion from outer space. We can still do it.” See, because Satan hasn’t been put away yet and he’s going to lead them in that deception.

Now then let’s pick it up here, Revelation 19:11. “And I saw heaven opened,…” It’s going to roll back as a scroll again and the world is going to be absolutely shocked in disbelief at what they see. Here’s what they’re going to see. “…And behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.” Now we’re going to see this fulfills that a stone cut out without a hand shall destroy and consume all these kingdoms. This is talking of Christ. His name is “…Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God” (Rev. 19:11-13). And you can go back and tie that in with the first part of the first chapter of the Gospel of John. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). Christ is the Word of God.

“And the armies which were in heaven…” Now that’s all of the saints. We’re going to follow Him “…upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” Now God is going to have a way of taking care of His enemies. “And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword,…” So all He’s going to do is just speak the word and it’s going to happen. “…That with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron:…” This time everyone will submit or they will perish. That’s what we have read, isn’t it? They will submit or they will perish. “…And He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;…” So here’s Christ and the saints coming down from heaven, or from the sea of glass to this battle, this last great battle, and God is preparing for it. He calls all the birds, the buzzards, the storks, the vultures, and they are flying in a great circular mass as we are coming down. And the Word of God goes out and consumes the flesh, it just falls right off the bones of the armies. And says, “…That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great” (vs. 14-18).

God has a special something for the beast and the false prophet. “And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the [rest] remnant were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh” (vs. 19-21).

And in that day He shall put His feet on the Mount of Olives and all the saints with Him and God shall be King over all the earth and thus Babylon the Great is judged and destroyed, and the kingdom of God now prepared for the saints, will rule with Christ. That’s what the meaning of the Feast of Trumpets is.
