In this episode of Luke21 Radio, host Steve Wood unpacks the fifth trumpet judgment in Revelation 9, where a fallen star unlocks the abyss and unleashes a wave of demonic darkness across the earth. Drawing from Scripture, Church teaching, and early Christian writings, Steve explains the connection between Genesis 6, the imprisonment of fallen angels in Tartarus, and the apocalyptic imagery of the abyss.
Listeners will discover:
- How Revelation 9 reveals a return of pre-Christian spiritual darkness
- The role of fallen angels in Genesis 6, 2 Peter, Jude, and 1 Enoch
- Why the smoke of the abyss represents a deep deception over the nations
- Insights from Justin Martyr, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Isaiah 9
- How these passages prepare us to understand the final assault of evil before Christ’s triumph
Modern culture prides itself on being “enlightened,” but Scripture warns of a time when the world will be shrouded in deception and spiritual darkening. This episode equips you to discern the times in light of God’s Word
