My Sheep
Hear My Voice
Before
Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray,
something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and
they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear
His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but
most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were
doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do
not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of
you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you
heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes
many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to
sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled
with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your
time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you
and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the
rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you
need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions
for you.

The
Fifth Trumpet: The First Woe
"And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon" (Rev. 9:11).
they had a … A king rules and commands them to:
1.
Not to hurt the grass (Rev.
9:4).
2.
Not to hurt any green thing (Rev.
9:4).
3.
Not to hurt the trees (Rev.
9:4).
4.

angel
of the... This angel is a fallen one who is now bound in the abyss
with these demon creatures. The Greek reads, "angel out of the
abyss." His name means destruction or destroyer. When these
demons were created and what their original responsibility and sin
were is not known. One thing is certain, all creatures were created
sinless, but capable of moral failure.
whose

name is
Abaddon and whose Greek
name is Apollyon.
Both words mean “destroyer or destruction.” Though Satan is
sometimes portrayed as an angel of light (2Co.
11:14), here Satan and his
demons are seen for what they really are, destroyers of people. This
judgment confirms what was already intimated in preceding judgments,
that the Great Tribulation, as Christ described it, will be a time
of “great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world
until now — and never to be equaled again” (Mat.
24:21).
Angels, as we have said before, are ministering spirits. These fallen angels (demons), are ministering pain and suffering. Their mission is to destroy. Their leader, is the epitome of evil. He has been their king since they were cast out of heaven by God. Their abode, when they are not on a mission of destruction, is in the abyss. This is where they were loosed from (in verse 2). They are continuously causing war, both spiritual and literal. Their mission is to destroy any way they can.
Remember all of this happens because God's wrath is kindled. God alone can stop Satan and his ministering legion of evil companions. This time God does not want to stop him. God allows, and even orders, this to happen. Satan, Apollyon, Abaddon, Lucifer, the devil, or whatever you care to call him, they are still obedient to God. He, as we or any other being, or angel, are created and subject to the desires of the Creator. God alone could stop this destruction.
Jesus
had and has many names. Satan is a counterfeiter, so he has many
names as well. People throughout history have tried to put names of
modern conquerors to these, but I do not believe that is intended
here.
