The bottomless pit is used in chapters 11, 17, and 20. In each case, it is speaking of the European Continent. The beast that ascends from the
bottomless pit is:
A. in chapter 11, the Third Reich, which Hitler named so because of his intention to establish the 3rd Holy Roman Empire. The 2 witnesses were the
Jews, whom Hitler tried to stamp out for 3.5 years, and which became established in their land 3.5 years after being delivered from the camps.
B. in chapter 17, it is the European Union who have aligned themselves [politically partnered] with ten arab nations.
C. in chapter 20, the EU will be "out of the picture" while Christ deals with the US and the UN, both of whom will be politically ruined. Meaning,
the US government is soon to collapse, and the UN will cease to exist. Only the EU will remain, for a "Short While"

If the 6th Trumpet can be found in the past, then so too must the 5th trumpet be found occuring BEFORE the 6th. So, has the 6th Trumpet already
blown.
In the 6th Trumpet, it is said a 3rd of men would be slain, but just prior to saying that, it gives the number of men that comprise the armies, that
number is 200,000,000 and a 3rd of that is 66,000,000. Coincidentally, WWI was responsible for the death of approximately 10,000,000 and WWII was
responsible for the death of approximately 55,000,000. Adding the two together, 65 million people were killed. Only a 1 percent difference, awfully
close huh !?
But relax, it is all mere coincidense, and "the time is at hand" in Rev 1:3 and Rev 22:10 does not have the SAME EXACT MEANING as when Christ used
the SAME EXACT PHRASE in Matthew 26:18. No, instead it really means "the time is about 2000 years away". SILLY !!!
Wake Up People. The Israeli cabinet just voted to complete the Fence around Jerusalem by September, and this, after Blair blames the middle east
