vial 1 - horrible sore on them who took the mark
The problem is that you falsely speculated that the plagues are supposed to be poured out upon all the world. Wrong. The vial judgment is reserved for HIS House, the New Testament congregation of God all over the world for her unfaithfulness. The plagues are for people of this great city that has spiritually become Egypt, which is the CHURCH! Not the world. They are the ones plagued of God, and they are the ones who AT THIS TIME had received the mark of the beast signifying they were brought under Satan's rule. For example, the rest of the world is ALREADY under Satan 's control, but those of this corporate church within the protected great city of God are the ones deceived now and who are now being brought into Satan's prison house, like the rest of the world! Selah! This is WHERE the Man of Sin ruled, not in physical city Jersualem, but CHURCH, where men had rec eived the mark of the beast dwelled, and who worshipped him THERE as if he was God. Get it?! We have to remember, the sores/plagues signify something. Something which they did NOT have previously, but which God put upon them for some reason AT THAT TIME. Not upon the whole world, but upon those symbolized by this particular language!
The sore signifies spiritual sickness upon those who do not love the Truth.
vial 2 - ever creature in the sea died
Physical fishes die in the sea? LOL! No, Listen...
Isaiah 57:20
- "But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt."
The sea becoming blood again signifies another plague upon the
wicked of the Church, which was to
fishers of men, but which has
spiritually become Egypt. in other words, the turning of the sea (wicked) to blood hearkens us back to God's judgments upon Egypt for holding God's people prisoner. these were supposed to preach the gospel, but instead they turned against the faithful, became as enemies raging in these troubled times like the sea. Not unlike our lord explains in Jude of the unrighteous in His house.
Jude 1:11
- "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core."
- These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
- Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever."
These are the apostasized, and these are those plagued. Selah!
vial 3 - freshwater's turned to blood
Freshwater? Please. The fountains of waters "represent" the Church. The representation of the gospel of Christ from Spiritual Jersualem. This can be seen in such passages as:
Revelation 7:17
- "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Christ is the fountain of waters, and upon earth, the
Church is that representation.
Revelation 21:6
- "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."
When we read that the Plagues are poured out and the fountains of water became blood, this is again symbolizing the house of God, the representation of the fountains of water on earth, is
plagued. In other words, the living waters once there is GONE, and replaced by God's plagues like in Exdous' Egypt where they are given blood to drink instead. For they are worthy. Selah! Upon those of Egypt who held God's people in captivity.
vial 4 - me scorched from the sun
This must be your pet verse. :-)
The sun again represents the church, the
earthly representative of the light of the world, which is Christ. Speaking to the church:
Matthew 5:14
- "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
Ephesians 5:8
- "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:"
The Church represents the light of the world, the Sun, which signifies Christ! thus plagues poured out upon the sun are once again representing the Church.
vial 5 - darkness and pain in the beast's kingdom
The seat of the beast is his throne. The Greek word translated seat is [thronos], also translated throne. It is the Holy Temple of God, church, wherein now the Beast now sits (at this time), and reigns and is worshiped by men as God.
This is the abomination of Desolation!
2nd Thessalonians 2:4
- "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
This symbolizes that the kingdom in which Christ once reigned king, and which was once light, is now full of darkness and has the beast seated on the throne as ruler. Selah!
vial 6 - Euphrates dried up, armies assemble at Armageddon
The Great river Euphrates signifies the border line of New Testament Israel that separates God's people from the people of the world. It being dried up signifies that it no longer exists as a border guard.
Genesis 15:18
- "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"
Here, the great river Euphrates is signified as a border marker for Israel.
Deuteronomy 11:24-29
- "Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
- There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
- Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
- A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
- And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
- And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
If they obeyed the commandments of God, and if not, they would be judged. If the church no longer follow Christ, the drying up of the Euphrates signifies a way for armies to come across to destroy them! This is how the False prophets and Christs came into the church and destroy from WITHIN where they forced everyone who have not yet sealed of God to receive the Mark. Selah!
vial 7 - Great earthquake, massive hail plague
The air in scripture often signifies the spirit. The spirits are the wind or air, and when the plagues are poured out on the air, the spirits bring the house down. It is done signifies God has surely caused this all to be. It is an edict which cannot be broken. As already decreed in heaven, it is done on earth. it will be brought to pass.
