We know that the planet Mars represents war. This sign appears in the skies immediately within minutes of the
light tunnel disappearing from the heavens. The earth turns as black as sackcloth. Evil on the earth needs to
have darkness even during midday. There is no delay in Christ waging war. This is reinforced in scripture. It
states that Christ is given authority that is represented by “diadems” and His eyes are a “flame of fire” to wage war.

Revelation 19:11-13 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on
His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.
155
He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.”
It states Christ will “judge and wage war.” This heavenly event was marked by the eclipse of Mars with the sun.
Mars is the god of war. Mars is named after the ancient Roman god of war, Ares, and symbolizes the red
planet's bloody color for war. The glyph for Mars represents mankind or man.

The symbol, or glyph, of Mars is widely used as a symbol of the male. It shows the circle of spirit, directed outwards. It can
represent mankind in general.

The scripture says that Christ is “clothed with a robe dipped in blood” that is very well-suited to the red planet of Mars.
We will see in scripture that this war begins with a third of mankind being killed by four angels which are bound
in the Euphrates River. In Revelation 16:14 it states “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
Could the four angels bound in the Euphrates be similar to the fallen-angels bound in the abyss? We know that
the fallen angels had been released during the Fifth Trumpet. The origin of the Euphrates River is in the range of
the Taurus Mountains in Turkey. We also know that the Euphrates was dried up by the Sixth Bowl Judgment.
Could the angels come from the source of the Euphrates? We know that Christ is ready to wage war on
mankind. How do we know that mankind is ready to make war with God? Let us look at scripture in Revelation.

Revelation 16:13-14 “And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast
and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons,
performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of
156
the great day of God, the Almighty.”
The passage says that three demons will go out to the kings of the whole world to gather them together for war
of the great day of God. Therefore, the world’s armies are ready for war. Remember, this is a war between mortal
mankind on this earth and immortal beings from heaven who return with Christ. It looks like it is only a matter
of time and evil rebellious mankind and Satan will be ultimately defeated in battle.

Kingdom of the East
We know from scripture that Christ’s battle will occur with hundreds of millions of troops in an army. Where
could such a large force come from? Let us look again at scripture to see.

Daniel 11:44-45 “But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth
with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. “He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between
the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.”
