REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Two - Darkness and Gnawing Pain - Continue

 The fifth trumpet blast  is not exactly the same as the fifth bowl of God's anger, since the trumpet blast heralded a plague of locusts.  But notice that at the releasae of that plague of locusts, there was a darkening of the su and the  air.  (Revelation 9:2-5) And at Exodus10:14, 15, we read  concerning the locusts with which  Jehovah plagued Egypt:  "They were very burdensome. Before them there had never turned up in this locust like them, and there will never turn  up  any in this way  after them.  And they went covering the visible surface of  the entire land, and the land grew dark." Yes, darkness!  Today, the world's spiritual darkness  has become all too evident as as resullt  of the sounding of the fifth trumpet and the pouring out of the fifth bowl of God's anager.  The stinging message proclaimed by the modern-day locust swarm brings torment and pain to those wicked ones who "have love the darkness rather than the light." -  JOHN 3:19.
