The following was written in real-time, when this was actually happening.
The Invasion of Kuwait in Prophecy
Excerpt:
Most people have been led to believe that the 7 angels with the 7 trumpets in the Apocalypse (Revelation) are going to appear, in the distant future, at the end of time and blow their trumpets.
WRONG!
The 7 angels are 7 time periods and the first 5 have already
gone, with the 6th. (Rev. 9 v 12)
IMMINENT and the 7th. being the
LAST, for most of mankind.
Are
YOU ready? Don't be so sure.
When a trumpet sounds, the next time period begins, just like when the bell rings to start the next round in a fight.
The 3rd. angel (Rev. 8 v 10) happened in 1986 "and the
name of the star is
Wormwood." Chernobyl is in the Ukraine and in Ukrainian
Chernobyl means
Wormwood.
However, this Booklet is concerned with only the 5th. time period - the 1st. of the
LAST 3 WOES that come upon the inhabiters of the Earth -
YOU.
Revelation - Apocalypse
Chapter 9
1. "And the 5th. angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth and to
HIM (the star or small beam of light is a
PERSON - a Being of Light) was given the key to "the bottomless pit"; and there arose a
SMOKE out of the pit, like (as) the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air (sky) were darkened because of (by reason of) the
SMOKE of the pit."
Could anything fit that description better than the sky over Kuwait once Saddam had set fire to 1000 oil-wells? The sky was pitch-black at mid-day.
3. "And there came out of the
SMOKE,
LOCUSTS (but these are not locusts, they are flying machines that looked like locusts to John and he goes on to describe them later, in verses 7-10) upon the earth: and to them was given power, like (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 who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads (telepathic contact with God).
5. And to them it was given that they should not
kill them, but that they should be tormented 5 months: and their torment
was like (as) the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man (the
TORMENT when a scorpion strikes a man is that he does not know whether he is going to
LIVE or
DIE).
6. And in those days men shall seek death, and shall
NOT find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
Now we come to the description of the
"LOCUSTS" and I will come back to verses 3-6 and explain them later on when I have shown you what the
LOCUSTS and the
SCORPIONS really are, so that the description of what they do will make more sense to you, afterwards.
7. "And the shapes of the
LOCUSTS were like unto (similar to)
horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were (what looked similar to) crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.
8. And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9. And they had breast-plates (armour), that looked like breast-plates of iron (metal); and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10. And they had tails like scorpions tails, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men 5 months (tormenting them)."
So these
"LOCUSTS" were like unto
"horses prepared for battle." In John's day the only type of mobile military machine was an armoured-horse (prepared unto battle) or an armoured-horse pulling a chariot.
However, these
"horses prepared unto battle" were
flying (locusts fly), and so he was shown flying war-machines, that had what looked similar to a crown of gold on their heads; faces like the faces of men; breast-plates of metal; the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle; tails like scorpions with stings in them.
Sound familiar?
They should do; most of you have seen them. Remember Kuwait? Helicopter gunships.

The Invasion of Kuwait in Prophecy
Also from the article, which should help explain the reason for the recent sandstorms, which again are focusing attention on the region:-
"The environmental damage that the oil-smoke alone has caused and is still causing (it has diluted and spread-out but it is still there) is incalculable. It has been and still is a major factor in the acceleration of the "green-house effect" and the changing of the global climate, with the havoc and destruction it is continuing to cause."
The increased focus on the region again also serves as a warning for what is about to happen there:-
