This is the first of the Woes spoken by the eagle, much hurt is going to be happening. not all of it, but the first part, the awful-ness of these woes are every reason to repent if you don’t already belong to Jesus. Repent and believe.
Revelation 8:13
Then I looked, and I heard a solitary eagle flying in [e]midheaven [for all to see], saying with a loud voice, “[f]Woe, woe, woe [great wrath is coming] to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpets which the three angels are about to sound [announcing ever greater judgments]!”
Revelation 9:3-6 – Amplified Bible
Hurt is coming
Please read Revelation 9:3-6
3 Then out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power [to hurt] was given to them, like the power which the earth’s scorpions have. 4 They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but [to hurt] only the people who do not have the seal (mark of ownership, protection) of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment and cause them extreme pain for five months; and their torment was like the torment from a scorpion when it stings a man. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die [to escape the pain], but [will discover that] death evades them.
When the verse at the top, 13, tells us there are three woes, there will indeed be three, though not all in this chapter. This one only has almost two. I’m encouraging you to read the full study to see where these three verses go and understand how important it is that your faith is your faith and no one gets to Him on anyone’s coattails. He knows all of us individually. So if you need to repent and believe, do so today. While there is still time to do so.
