Chapter 2

About lightnings. The Scripture often specifies, that heavenly spirits are similar to lightnings. It about it is possible to read at prophet Ezekiel, 1:13, 14, at prophet Daniel, 10:6, at Evangelist Matthew, 28:3. All these places say about pure heavenly spirits, about Angels of God. Speaking about Satan (see Luke.10:18) the Lord has told to disciples: «I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven». As we see, the Satan also is assimilated a lightning. The Lord has mentioned it in connection with falling of Satan out of heaven. As we know, the Satan soon will be cast out into the earth together with his angels (or demons). About it we read in Rev.12:9. So, those places of the book of Revelation in which lightnings are mentioned, speak about falling of Satan and his angels into the earth. This falling is called "casting out", contrary to Catching up of Church.

Chapter 3

About great earthquake. One of the main events mentioned in the book of Revelation, earthquake is. It is mentioned seven times: Rev.6:12, 14; 8:5; 11:13, 19; 12:16; 16:18-20. Most full it is described in Rev.16:18-20. Thus one of results of this earthquake was that «and every island fled away, and the mountains were not found». At reading Rev.6:12-14 it is appreciable, that this fragment begins a mention of great earthquake, and comes to an end with a mention of consequences of this earthquake when «every mountain and island were moved out of their places». It is visible for any not preconceived reader, that it is a question of the same, as in Rev.16:18-20. But besides told, there is also other latent sense in words «great earthquake». One of the basic places of the Writings, helping to understand sense of these words, are words of Apostle Paul in the Epistle to Hebrews, 12: 26-28: «(God’s) voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven . And this word, Yet once more signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace».

The given explanation of Apostle Paul says that:

1) Will be shaken the earth, for the purpose of its change.

2) Will be shaken also heaven (also for the purpose of its change).

Let's open both these points in more details:

1. The Earth will be shaken, first, for the purpose of change of its shape. So, for long millenniums of existence of the mankind, many lands erosion have undergone, were exhausted and became fruitless. Now (when were written these lines) plants do not grow any more properly without a different sort of catalysts. As a result of Great earthquake these fruitless lands will leave under water, will be flooded. At the same time the lands which were at the bottom of the seas, fertilized by silt, will rise on a surface. Then words of prophet Isaiah that it will be possible «to pass safely, even by the way that he had not gone with his feet», Is.41:3 will come true. As a result of the Great earthquake continents, existing now, will unite in one huge supercontinent and become the united earth, such what the earth was in the beginning, Gen.1:10. Prophet Isaiah writes, how it will be: « The ends of the earth were afraid (in Russian Bible: were trembled), drew near, and came », Is.41:5. Isaiah also writes, that people will be terrified, having seen it. Also words of prophet Amos at that time will come true, that the Lord« calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth», Àì.5:8. At Great earthquake will be lost «seven thousand of the human names», Rev.11:13 in Russian Bible. The Most widespread on the earth is a name Ann, this name have 90 million inhabitants of the Earth. On the average, one any name (for example, Ivan, John etc.) is the share of 300 thousand persons. Seven thousand human names is a third of population of the Earth. Many at that time will take cover in different sort’s underground refuges, however «the waters shall overflow the hiding place», Is.28:17. As a result of Great earthquake (and still other God’s judgments about which it will be still told) on the Earth there will be third of former population which will call on name of the Lord and becomes his people, Zech.13:8, 9.

2. It will be shaken as well heaven, for the purpose of its updating. So, for long millenniums of existence of heaven (that is of heavenly Jerusalem), a part of heavenly troops (is more exact, third of angels) has evaded in luxury, splendor, pride - in general, became lofty, began to speak haughtily, and, at last, has passed to service to the Satan. However already very soon will come day in which as Prophet Isaiah writes, «the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit (that is in the lowest pit, in the deeps, Ps.88:6) and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited», Is.24:21, 22. In the same place of the book Isaiah speaks and about Great earthquake, Is.24:18 -20. After casting out of angels of the Satan into the earth, the heaven population it will be renewed, as soon after the casting out there will be Church Catching up. By time Great earthquake will occur after a while after Catching up, at the trumpet of 1st Angel. And heaven will be shaken (i.e. there will be war in heaven or, in another way, «the powers of heaven shall be shaken», Luke.21:26) at a trumpet of 4th Angel. The 4th Angel will begin to sound in 2 year after the end of the great period, named Genesis. The period Genesis will end, when the Church still will be on the Earth. The note: in Revelation about earthquake it is spoken doubly: first, as about so-called «the natural phenomenon», about earthquake as per se, Rev.6:12; 8:5; 11:13, 19; 12:16; 16:18. Secondly, as about "shake-up", about moving of the people which will lose a former belonging and will fall under the power of the beast Rev.6:14; 13:7; 16:20; (also Habakkuk, 2:5).
