Dear Global Christian Warriors,
Join us on this 21 day repentance journey to study His Word on Judgments. The point is to repent now to be fully His, as His Judgment unfolds. God willing, we will also include each day a suggested issue to repent of. We hope to bless you, to edify you, to strengthen you with His Word, consistent with 2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
TODAY'S REPENTANCE REFLECTION:
Judgment Trumpet #5 ~ Woe Be Gone
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
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.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
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.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
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.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
~Revelation 9:1-12 (KJV)
There's a lot to unpack here. This is a long passage with a lot of activity and symbolism found within it. It is also the description of only ONE of the three woes. Perhaps we are getting a greater understanding of why these last 3 Trumpet Judgments are so significant. Truly these will cause debilitating grief across the planet.
To summarize this passage, the bottomless pit is opened and the hordes of hell are released. I envision something similar to Pandora's Box. In the Greek mythological account of Pandora, we see a story remarkably analogous to the Biblical account of Eve. Pandora was created by Zeus as the first woman but she also was instrumental in releasing all the evils into the world. Her name is very intriguing, however: "Pan" means "all" and "Dora" means "gift." So, how does releasing iniquity into the world reconcile with her name which means "Gift to all?" Strange, indeed.
Perhaps the clue can be found in studying the name Apollyon which is also found in this 5th Trumpet and 1st Woe of Revelation. In Greek mythology, Apollyon was known as both a "destroyer" AND a "purifier." This gives us a clue to the "mystery of iniquity" that the Bible speaks of. These verses have challenged many theologians throughout time:
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.
~2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 (KJV)
In some way that we cannot clearly understand on this side of the veil, God uses the consequences of our sin as a useful "wake up" call. We see this happening in many nations now as they slowly recognize that they've opened up "Pandora's Box" by embracing and codifying the perverse LGBTQ++ movement. In countries where "gay marriage" has been legalized, the procession downward to all types of cultural disease has been swift. In just a few short years we have now moved into utter confusion and chaos with an ever-growing "gender spectrum" of insane imaginings. We are further plummeting downward rapidly by amputating the genitals of our children. This IS a bottomless pit as mentioned in Revelation 9:2...We should now readily see that this madness has no end!
In the story of Pandora, there was one thing that remained in the box: HOPE. While things may look very bleak and dark during these times, let's remember that HOPE is still available.
The LORD is our hope. (1 Timothy 1:1).
It's time for us to REPENT before all hope is gone. The Lord Himself : sanctifies and cleanses us, His Bride, with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5: 26-27)
On this day, November 20th, reflect on the "woes" that are currently being released upon the earth. As these seem to have no end, pray that the "mystery of iniquity" will increase our understanding of the ravages of sin and its consequences. In doing so, WICKEDNESS will be revealed and HOPE released.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
~1 Peter 1:13 (KJV)

You and I were born for such a time as this. We are to minister to others during the serious shakings ahead, expected in all nations. Studying the 21 signs of Judgment, our faith is built up to preach to others to find Him NOW. To do so, we need today to build up our spiritual strength through times of private repentance. We can also share times of fellowship, sharing testimonies of repentance to encourage us further.
The fear of God is not a terror that He is against us or will strike without cause or warning. Rather, the awe, the reverential fear of God, produces wise, healthy actions, as when the midwives feared God more than Pharaoh, and saved the male children, including Moses.
During these 21 days, as your doctor and the Lord may direct, you may also wish to fast as the Lord leads. Removing old sin strongholds spiritually may also act as a blessing to detox your body physically.
When you repented to come into His Kingdom, you became a vessel filled with His Holy Spirit. We are to fear, have an awesome respect for, the Living God, not fear of man, nor fear of death.
Join us in this spiritual journey to study His Word on Judgments and to repent to avoid Judgment.
You may want to ask "where did this surface in me?" Is it a generational curse? How does it show up in my character today? If you confess that sin pattern, the Lord will forgive you. You can then sincerely repent, replacing that stronghold with His Holy Word.
A key one is found in Matthew 28: 18: " And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
No need for a theologian. The word "all" means ALL.
Revelation 1: 17-18 could not be more clear: "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."

Do you see repentance as vital for our times? To our knowledge National Day of Repentance is the only Christian ministry focusing solely on personal and national repentance in every nation and applying it in our lives.
No church, no denomination supports us, only YOU! Though we work as volunteers, costs and requests for food pour in each day far beyond our capacity to fulfill these requests.
Would you please pray for us? And then give from a cheerful heart as the Lord leads? THANK YOU--whatever the amount you give, you'll receive a blessing--- 2 Corinthians 8: 2-4 and Luke 8:3--- and Fruit that will abound to your spiritual account, Philippians 4:17.
God bless you.
