The second trumpet now sounds let us not delay to hear what comes next. And again I must remind everyone who finds us, this is from the redeemed mindset in translation a most unusual approach, to say the least!
Revelation 8:8-9 "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed." (KJV)
Revelation 8:8-9 "The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed." (ESV)
Revelation 8:8-9 "The second Shepherd-Messenger trumpeted and a volcanic fiery mass the size of a big mountain was flung into the sea and a third of the oceans became blood. (Like the Nile in the first plague in Exodus 7:20.
Mountain, in prophetic language, signifies a kingdom, Jeremiah 51:25 also Zechariah 7:7, What are you, Oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and He shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!;'" I will stretch out My hand against you, and roll you down from the crags, and make you a burnt mountain; Rev. 17:15, And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
The third part is a symbolic expression of a representative portion of the whole. As within the Triune GOD, the Son fully represents the Father and the Holy Spirit - so every individual member of the trinity is fully represented and reflected in the other.) And a third of all the living creatures in the ocean died. And a third of the ships perished." (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may the LORD again increase our understanding of Him through all that is revealed. And to this I say thank You! With the Amen.
