| The 1/3 Destruction | |
| Revelation 8:7 7 When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire were mixed with blood, and were thrown on the earth. One-third of the earth was burned up, one-third of the trees was burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. | Exodus 9:22-25 22 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky, and hail will fall on people, animals, and every plant in the fields of Egypt.” 23 When Moses lifted his staff toward the sky, Yahweh sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So Yahweh made it hail on Egypt. 24 It hailed, and lightning flashed while it hailed. This was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. 25 All over Egypt the hail knocked down everything that was out in the open. It struck down people, animals, and every plant in the fields and destroyed every tree in the fields. Psalm 1:3 3 He is like a tree planted beside streams— a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he does. Ezekiel 20:47 47 Tell the forest in the Negev, ‘Listen to the word of Yahweh. This is what Adonay Yahweh says: I am about to set fire to you to destroy all your green trees and all your dry trees.

I will refine them as silver is refined. I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on me, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people.’ They will reply, ‘Yahweh is our Elohim.’” Joel 1:7 7 They destroyed my grapevines. They ruined my fig trees. They stripped off what they could eat, threw the rest away, and left the branches bare. Joel 1:18-19 18 The animals groan. Herds of cattle wander around confused. There’s no pasture for them. Even flocks of sheep are suffering. 19 O Yahweh, I cry to you for help! Fire has burned up the open pastures. Flames have burned up all the trees in the orchards.

| Revelation 8:8 8 When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the sea turned into blood, | Exodus 7:17 17 Here is what Yahweh says: This is the way you will recognize that I am Yahweh: With this staff in my hand, I’m going to strike the Nile, and the water will turn into blood.

| Revelation 8:10 10 When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star flaming like a torch fell from the sky. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs. | Revelation 12:4 4 Its tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them down to earth. The serpent stood in front of the woman who was going to give birth so that it could devour her child when it was born. Jeremiah 17:13 13 O Yahweh, the Miqweh Yisrael, all who abandon you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in dust, because they abandon Yahweh, the fountain of life-giving water. Ezekiel 47:5-11 5 Then he measured another 1,500 feet. But the water had risen so much that it became a river which I couldn’t cross. The river was too deep to cross except by swimming. 6 Then he asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” 7 Then the man led me back along the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw many trees on both sides of the river. 8 Then the man said to me, “This water flows through the land to the east, down into the Jordan Valley, and into the Dead Sea. When the water flows into the Dead Sea, it will replace the salt water there with fresh water. 9 Wherever the river flows, there will be many fish and animals. The river will make the water in the Dead Sea fresh. Wherever the river flows, it will bring life. 10 From En Gedi to En Eglaim people will be standing on the shore of the sea with their fishing nets spread out. As many kinds of fish will be there as there are in the Mediterranean Sea. 11 But the water in the swamps and marshes won’t become fresh. It will remain salty. Isaiah 14:12 12 How you have fallen from heaven, you morning star, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the ground, you conqueror of nations! Joel 3:18 18 On that day new wine will cover the mountains. Milk will flow on the hills. Water will flow in all the brooks of Judah. A spring will flow from Yahweh’s temple. It will water the valley of Shittim. Zechariah 9:15 15 Yahweh Tsebaoth will defend them. They will destroy and trample the stones used in slings. They will drink and shout as if they were drunk. They will be filled like a sacrificial bowl used for sprinkling the corners of the altar. Zechariah 14:8 8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the Dead Sea and the other half to the Mediterranean Sea. It will continue in summer and in winter. Revelation 7:17 17 The lamb in the center near the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs filled with the water of life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 21:6 6 He said to me, “It has happened! I am the A and the Z,[a] the beginning and the end. I will give a drink from the fountain filled with the water of life to anyone who is thirsty. It won’t cost anything. |
| Revelation 8:11 11 That star was named Wormwood. One-third of the water turned into wormwood, and many people died from this water because it had turned bitter. | Zechariah 13:8-9 8 I will bring them back, and they will live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their Elohim, who is faithful and just. 9 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says: Be strong so that the temple might be rebuilt, you people who are presently listening to the words from the mouths of the prophets who spoke when the foundation for the house of Yahweh Tsebaoth was laid. Jeremiah 9:15 15 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth, the Elohim of Israel, says: I am going to feed these people bitterness and give them poison to drink. Jeremiah 23:15 15 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says about the prophets: I will give them wormwood to eat and poison to drink. The prophets of Jerusalem have spread godlessness throughout the land. |
| Revelation 8:12 12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark. There was no light for one-third of the day and one-third of the night. | Genesis 37:9-10 Names of God Bible 9 Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream: I saw the sun, the moon, and 11 stars bowing down to me.” 10 When he told his father and his brothers, his father criticized him by asking, “What’s this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers come and bow down in front of you?” Exodus 10:21 21 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky, and a darkness so thick that it can be felt will come over Egypt.” Zechariah 13:8-9 8 I will bring them back, and they will live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their Elohim, who is faithful and just. 9 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says: Be strong so that the temple might be rebuilt, you people who are presently listening to the words from the mouths of the prophets who spoke when the foundation for the house of Yahweh Tsebaoth was laid.

Ezekiel 32:7 7 “‘When I put out your light, I will cover the sky and darken the stars. I will cover the sun with clouds, and the moon won’t shine anymore.

Joel 2:31 31 The sun will become dark, and the moon will become as red as blood before the terrifying day of Yahweh comes.” Joel 3:15 15 The sun and the moon will turn dark. The stars will no longer shine. Matthew 4:16 16 The people who lived in darkness have seen a bright light. A light has risen for those who live in a land overshadowed by death.” Revelation 6:12 12 I watched as the lamb opened the sixth seal. A powerful earthquake struck. The sun turned as black as sackcloth made of hair. The full moon turned as red as blood. Revelation 12:4 Names of God Bible 4 Its tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them down to earth. The serpent stood in front of the woman who was going to give birth so that it could devour her child when it was born. |
| Revelation 8:13 13 I saw an eagle flying overhead, and I heard it say in a loud voice, “Catastrophe, catastrophe, catastrophe for those living on earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts which the three angels are about to blow.” | Revelation 14:16 16 The one who sat on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the harvesting of the earth was completed. |
