1 REVELATION 9:1-11 FULFILLED; Global Warming and Tormented Muslim Men By George Lujack Western political leaders agreed, by general consensus, that global warming (climate change) was settled science while they simultaneously coddled, fostered, imported, monitored, and policed radical Islamic terrorist entities at home and abroad, and did everything they could to avoid killing them through war. In Rome, Catholic Pope Francis issued an encyclical on global warming, entitled, ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME on May 24, The chapter on "POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE" proclaims the opinion that global warming is a settled scientific fact [1]. A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system. In recent decades this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear, by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determinable cause cannot be assigned to each particular phenomenon. Humanity is called to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption, in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it. The Catholic Church s embrace of global warming has a pagan religious component to it known as Gaia worship: the worship of the creation (mother earth) over the Creator and the priority of caring for the Earth over the concern and welfare of human beings [2]. 554

2 In America, U.S. President Barack Obama was widely believed to be a Muslim himself, and if not, certainly a Muslim sympathizer. Obama has stated, No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change [3]. Meanwhile, as Commanderin-Chief of America's armed forces, Obama did not actively wage an effective war for America to defeat its Muslim terrorist enemies abroad, but instead was concerned with containing, protecting, and even importing them through immigration [4][5]. During the preceding years, under the spiritual approval of Catholic Pope Francis, the military direction of U.S. President Barack Obama and many others in the socio-political and scientific community, the acceptance of global warming (climate change) as scientific fact and the proliferation of Muslim-based terrorism have gone hand-in-hand. The Scripture prophecy of Revelation 9:1-11 was fulfilled through the global warming environmentally minded war America waged on Islamic terrorists. REVELATION 9:4-5: They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. SCRIPTURE PROPHECY ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree,... They (American-led coalition armed forces) were commanded with global warming (climate change) concerns in mind, not to harm the grass, green things, or any trees. Obama, in his environmentally minded war on ISIS, did not order the bombing of ISIS oil infrastructure, because of environmental impact concerns [6].... but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. Muslim men do not have the seal of God, figuratively speaking, on their foreheads (minds). They reject Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah - the seal of God, and believe in their so-called prophet Muhammad as the messenger of their god Allah. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. They (American-led Coalition forces) did not have the authority to kill Islamic terrorist men. When American commanders authorized the bombing of ISIS buildings and oil tankers, they first ordered their pilots to drop leaflets giving their Islamic terrorist combat enemies at least 45-minutes of advance warning notice to flee for their lives. Muslim men knew that their buildings or oil tankers were about to be destroyed, which gave them ample time to escape, before the bombs were dropped. 555

3 Coalition forces, while protecting the lives of Islamic combatants, tormented them. ISIS Muslim terrorists, who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads, were not grateful for the leaflets that American and coalition armed forces dropped on them to spare them their lives, but were enraged and tormented as their buildings and supplies were destroyed. America's policy of containing ISIS Muslim combatant terrorists, and not destroying them, while putting on a show-war was torment to Muslim men. The 'locusts' of Revelation 9 represent armored helicopters and jet fighter planes (drones also), which were the instruments of the torment to those Muslim men. An interesting side note is that the torment of Muslim men by American armed forces was fulfillment of Scripture prophecy Revelation chapter 9 through verse 11, reflecting the date of the 9-11 Islamic terrorist attacks against America that occurred on The American-led coalition intervention in Syria began on September 22, 2014 and the bombings ended 6-months later on April 08, During the first month of intervention, ISIS resistance fighters were killed. In the ensuing five months afterward, ISIS Muslim men were tormented, as their military equipment, supplies, and buildings were destroyed, but they were not targeted to be killed, and were not killed, by U.S.-led coalition forces [7]. The Scripture prophecy of Revelation 9:5 was fulfilled, which states those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads (Muslims) would be tormented for five months. 556

4 Many prophecy watchers were looking at Israel during the tetrad (set of 4) blood moons that occurred on God s feast days between April 15, 2014 and September 28, 2015, anticipating a major prophetic event to be fulfilled. Many prophecy scholars noted that these events landed on Jewish feast days and thus they were expecting something monumental to occur in Israel. During previous tetrad blood moon cycles that fell on God s feast days in , , and , significant events surrounding the Jewish people did take place. In 1492, during the Spanish Inquisition, the Jews in Spain were issued the Alhambra Decree, also known as the Edict of Expulsion, by the joint Catholic Monarchs of Spain, ordering practicing Jews of Spain to leave Spain within four months. In 1948, the State of Israel was born and Jews around the world once again had a homeland. In 1967, Israel expanded its territory and secured its country winning the Six-Day War. Many prophecy watchers naturally expected that the tetrad blood moons of , which also fell on Jewish feast days, would also bring about a prophetic event in Israel. That didn t happen. Many Scripture scoffers have since mocked the tetrad blood moons as inconsequential. LEVITICUS 23:2: The feasts of YHWH (the Lord), which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts. The feast days, which are rightly observed by the Jews, are actually God s feast days, not Jewish feast days. Therefore, blood moons that fall on God s feast days could signal a prophetic event to occur anywhere on God s Earth. Historic events of Scripture prophecy occurred during the tetrad blood moons. Revelation 9:1-11 was fulfilled. The American-led coalition intervention in Syria began on September 22, 2014 and ended 6-months later on April 08, 2015, dates that fell within the tetrad blood moon cycle. During the blood moons of , Muslim men, those without the seal of the true God on their forehead, were tormented for 5- months (Revelation 9:4-5). 557

5 The stage is now being set for the rest of Revelation 9 to be fulfilled, the great tribulation, which will bring about the death of a third of the world's population (Revelation 9:15). 1.
