The Fifth Trumpet
A reading from the Book of Revelation 9, 1 – 12:
Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. It was given the key for the passage to the abyss. It opened the passage to the abyss, and smoke came up out of the passage like smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the passage. Locusts came out of the smoke onto the land, and they were given the same power as scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or an plant or any tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to killed them but only to torment them for five months, the torments they inflicted was like that of a scorpion when it stings a person. During that time these people will seek death but will not find it, and they will long to die but death will escape them.
The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses ready for battle. On their hearts they wore what look like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, and they had hair like women’s hair. Their teeth were like lions teeth, and they had chests like iron breastplates. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many horse-drawn chariots racing into battle. They had tails like scorpions with stingers; with their tails they had power to harm people for five months. They had as their king the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon. The first woe has passed, but there are two more to come.
We had a foggy day and the sun did not show itself the whole day on Thursday. There was no rain and it was mild. The result being that more snow disappeared. It surely looks like Spring although we are only in January.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Are you truly mine My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. How do you know that you are mine? You are mine if you have been baptized and if you follow what I have told you. Do you pray regularly and do you go to Holy Mass at least every Sunday? Do you avoid sin and especially ask Me for the graces you need to avoid sin? I am the one who has all the power to help you to stop sinning and to follow the Commandments of God.
If you follow Me in this way, then truly you have been sealed and you do not have to worry. If you do not follow Me then you have not been sealed and you will have to suffer much. Come My dear friends and stop sinning and take the road I have pointed out to you. If you are with me, I will protect you and you will be saved. I bless you and I call you to come close to Me.”
