History confirms the Holy Bible; Fall of the Roman Empire part 5 of 6.

In the last entry on the subject, Byzantine Emperor Justinian had retaken some coastal areas of the Western Empire previously inundated with barbarian tribes, and the 'faint glow' or notional rule in the west was thus extinguished for all intents and purposes. This blog entry brings the Muslim world against the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantine. Chosroes II (reigning from AD 590 to 62, king of Perisia or the Sasanian Empire, came against Byzantine with success, but later on, Roman Emperor Heraclius turned the tide back, or so it seemed. In the exhaustive tug of war between the two, Mahomet (Muhammad) was enabled against both. Different evolution of the Caliphate plagued the Byzantine Empire from AD 632 to about the mid 1400's, which then saw the Arab Caliphate usurped by the Ottoman Caliphate/Empire. The Ottoman Turks will be the subject of the next blog in succession. However, there was a significant period of 150 years , AD 1299-1449 when the Caliphate under the Ottomans would vex, but not quite conquer Byzantine (Greece) and/or Constantinople. The relative verses in the Bible, namely the 5th Trumpet, are given below with notes. Hence, one 'woe' of three would now be realized in the prophecy against the remains of the "universe" of the world Roman.

Revelation 9
Verse 1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Note: This "star" [of fate] fell not on just one spot (like Atilla) but the globe itself. Chosroes II was murdered by his own relative Kavadh, who sought peace with Heraclius. Thus the 'Key" was given to Muhammad to open the 'bottomless pit', for whatever originates out of the wastes of the Arabian desert. (See abyssos-Greek).

Verse 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Note: The religion of Islam is seen here as something that 'darkens' out the light of day as it were.

Verse 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Note: Simple imagery here as to swarms of Saracens that have power to quickly afflict their enemies.

Verse 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Note: The seal of god for those that follow the Lord Jesus wither so ever He goeth. And the successor to Mahomet was Abu-bkr, who gave the soldiers implicit instructions not to hurt anything but that of the Roman Order, that apostate religion who have 'shaven crowns'.

Verse 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
Note: ON July 27, 1299, Paphlagonian warriors joined up with Othman in their attack against the Greek division of the Empire. This 'hurt' against the Greeks still did not conquer them until a change came in 1449. In bible prophecy, one "day" =one year. (See Ezekiel 4:4-6, and Numbers 14:33,34). Five months equal 5x30 days=150 actual .

Verse 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Verse 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Verse 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Verse 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Verse 11 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.
Notes: More symbolism here denoting 7) swarms, golden crowns, manly faces (beards).
long hair, appetite to devour, 9) wearing the cuirass (breastplate), using horses per cavalry, 10) Allowed to afflict the enemy, but not totally vanquish (See fortress Constantinople), 11) Abaddon/Apollyon=destroyer; the Sultan/religion of the Ottoman Empire.

Again, my primary source for this blog line is a book titled Daniel and the Revelation-Uriah Smith.

I am a devout christian....and catholic to be precise. I have read the bible to some extent...lol...not lik you of course. How is it that i see alot of revelations translate to alien apparations and eventually alien invasion.And this is not to contradict spiritual teachings but surely isn't rather obvious that God is omnipotent therefore his creation/ cannot be limited to planet earth....and truly other beings exist and compete for his attention, ???..of more superior form...perhaps only soulless or without conscious.

Infact for me i imagine that when we speak of reincarnation...it actually means we graduate to another ....superior in physical aspects....technical .We cannot rule out...aliens/robots etc..i mean from AD to now....we cannot just be limited to be mere human beings and waiting for judgment day.

Oops Abuni...Just my inferiror thoughts...i am open to guidance

Thanks for sharing

Thanks trixiedi. This blog line will be sounding ALL 7th-Day Adventist if you didnt notice. Uriah Smith's interpretations being an early actuator of the SDA's. But I do NOT believe in much more of the SDA church. I have actually been kicked out of course. lol. OF note, they believe that their church alone is collectively responsible for preparing the world for Jesus' return. Not one thing true about that! Just thought I would make mention of that first. As for ET's I myself will never accept sentient beings made in God's image outside of this globe. If there was, I am sure they would ALL be subject to the FALL of Creation, and that there is nothing made in Creation without Jesus knowing about it. Think about it. IF one were to meet such a being on another world, the element of sin would still be present in man's presence for the meet. lol. And I was never one to care much about a tree falling in the forest unless I was there. Surely my presence killed that tree lol. There would also then have to be an epistle to the ? martians? Or whatever silicon-based life forms? lol. So don't believe them si-fi movies where there is no death and suffering on a Utopian space world. lol It is all just wishful thinking. There is only ONE way to eternal life, and no alien will ever have that. All they have are worm holes lol. Thanks again.

Thankyou so much for the insight.
One more thing though...do you believe in science?

Science is nothing more than another effect of original sin. Is all about trusting in one's own self (creature) apart from god for provisions such as a car for transport, a house to live in, all made with human hands, never to be so before the fall on man, correct? Yet live by the car, than die by it also? Etc etc.
IF one is going to live forever, how can one think of having a roof over their head? lol. Such was the case for Adam and Eve before the fall. I myself only use chemistry as a parable. One can equate this way to being spiritually creative. But I am funny this way, don't try this at home lol. Be blessed.
