EP-990: The Seven Trumpet Judgements - 5th Trumpet Judgement (Locusts)

🔥 What happens when people desperately want to die—but death itself is taken away? Revelation chapter 9 reveals one of the most terrifying judgments in Bible prophecy as demonic forces are released to torment the earth during the Great Tribulation.In this eye-opening episode of Insights to the End Times, Dr. Brian Scott continues his verse-by-verse study through Revelation, explaining the Fifth Trumpet Judgment, the first of the three great woes, and why these events demonstrate both the seriousness of God's judgment and His desire for people to repent before it is too late.🎥 Episode SummaryAs the study of Revelation chapters 8 and 9 continues, Dr. Scott reviews the first four trumpet judgments before examining the terrifying events surrounding the fifth trumpet. After devastating judgments upon the earth, the seas, fresh water, and the heavens, attention turns to the opening of the bottomless pit, where demonic beings described as locusts are released to torment those who have rejected God. Unlike previous judgments, these creatures are forbidden to kill, but are allowed to inflict unimaginable suffering for five months.The episode explores the supernatural protection God provides for those who bear His seal, including the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, while contrasting their protection with the torment experienced by those who follow the Antichrist. Dr. Scott also explains the identity of Abaddon (Apollyon), the destroyer who rules over these demonic forces, and how these judgments reveal Satan's true nature as the destroyer of mankind.Throughout the message, Dr. Scott reminds viewers that Revelation is not written to create fear, but to call people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. As God's judgments intensify, the invitation to receive salvation remains open, making today's decision to follow Christ more important than ever.🔑 Major Topics Covered - The Fifth Trumpet Judgment and the first of the three woes - The opening of the bottomless pit and the release of demonic locusts - Why the 144,000 are protected during the Tribulation - Abaddon (Apollyon): the destroyer revealed - Why Revelation calls every person to repentance before God's final judgments📖 Scripture References - Revelation 8:7–13 - Revelation 9:1–12 - Revelation 7:1–8 - Revelation 14:1–5 - Matthew 24:4–8 - Exodus 7–12 - 1 Timothy 2:3–4⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 — End-Time Signs Point to Christ's Return 03:45 — Reviewing the First Four Trumpet Judgments 05:22 — The Fifth Trumpet: Demonic Locusts Released 08:44 — Why People Will Seek Death but Cannot Die 10:27 — Who Is Abaddon (Apollyon), the Destroyer? 15:33 — God's Purpose Behind the Trumpet Judgments📢 Take the Next Step✅ Subscribe for weekly Bible prophecy teaching and verse-by-verse studies through Revelation.👍 Like this video to help more people discover what God's Word teaches about the end times.📣 Share this episode with friends and family who want a biblical understanding of Revelation, the Great Tribulation, and Jesus' return.▶️ Watch the complete "Insights to the End Times" playlist to follow the entire Revelation series from beginning to end.#BibleProphecy #EndTimes #BookOfRevelation #Revelation9 #TrumpetJudgments #GreatTribulation #Rapture #JesusIsComing #LastDays #BibleStudy #SecondComing #ChristianTeaching #EndTimesProphecy #Prophecy #InsightsToTheEndTimes
