11. “This ominous warning comes as the fifth
trumpet sounds and a star falls from the
sky to the earth. The star unlocks the
abyss and releases an army of locusts
from a bottomless pit. The extent and
intensity of these evil “woes” is demonic.
When the shaft of the abyss is opened evil
escalates exponentially; the lid on evil is
blown off.”
Doug Webster
Follow the Lamb, Page 161

14. From Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and
brother of James, to those who are called,
wrapped in the love of God the Father and
kept for Jesus Christ. May mercy, peace,
and love be lavished on you!
Jude 1

15. And you know the story of the angels who
didn’t stick to their post, abandoning it for
other, darker missions. But they are now
chained and jailed in a black hole until the
great Judgment Day.
Jude 6
The Message

36. Or did you think that because he’s such a nice
God, he’d let you off the hook? Better think
this one through from the beginning. God is
kind, but he’s not soft. In kindness he takes
us firmly by the hand and leads us into a
radical life-change. You’re not getting by
with anything. Every refusal and avoidance of
God adds fuel to the fire. The day is coming
when it’s going to blaze hot and high, God’s
fiery and righteous judgment.
Romans 2:4-5
The Message

37. God will judge not because God gives people
what they deserve, but because some people
refuse to receive what no one deserves; if
evildoers experience God’s terror, it will not
be because they have done evil, but because
they have resisted to the end the powerful
lure of the open arms of the crucified Messiah
