have used the terminology of the three Woe Trumpets. The first Woe Trumpet starts with the Fifth Trumpet
Judgment upon this earth. This is with the release of immortal beings who are the fallen angels from the abyss.
They are held there with eternal bonds until judgment. This is followed by the sixth trumpet which is war with
His immortal armies. Three or one- third is used throughout the End Times judgments, which signifies that these
events are God controlled and willed.

The Deliverance of Israel

Most Bible scholars don’t address the Second Trumpet Judgment and its timing regarding the End Times. There
seems to be no scripture that supports the timing of the second judgment, except that it occurs after the First
Trumpet Judgment in the book of Revelation.

We have shown that this will occur after those who have “understanding” have fled to the wilderness. The fleeing
into the wilderness occurs after the First Trumpet Judgment but prior to the Second Trumpet Judgment, which
is judgment on the seas. In Daniel 11:35 it states that “those with insight will fall, in order to be refined, purge and make
them pure until the end time….” Some will require refinement and purging to make them pure.

Could this sea judgment relate to Satan, the serpent, who has empowered the Antichrist? We do know that Satan
has been cast down to the earth after the sealing of the 144,000 Jews. (See the book entitled: “Heavenly Signs –
Grand Design for the Rapture”) What did the Prophet Isaiah say in scripture about punishment of the serpent?

Isaiah 27:1 “In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and mighty sword,
Even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
53
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.”

The Hebrew word for “Leviathan” has the following meaning of serpent or dragon.
54
ןָתָיְוִל Livyathan (531b); from the same as 3880; “serpent,” a sea monster or dragon:—Leviathan

We know that Satan, the dragon, the fleeing serpent, will ultimately be destroyed by Christ in the End Times. It is
not the time for Satan to be cast into the abyss and chained for one thousand years. He has but a short time on
this earth left. He is actively involved with the Antichrist and the deception of mankind during this time. We also
know that the Antichrist has been given authority by God at this time. He is a king and deceiver of mankind. He
has made himself like a god. Scripture says forty-two months will be given to him. This occurs in the previous
month prior to the judgment of the sea – the second trumpet being blown by an angel of God.

Revelation 13:5 “There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and
53
authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.”
