The hour of temptation is Daniel’s 70th Week.

Mark 13:[20] And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

Here we read that those days which is the hour of temptation has been shortened. So If it’s not seven years then how long will it be?

Revelation 9:[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.

They meaning the people who do not have the seal of God in their brains should be tormented for five months and the locust being spoken of are the seven thousand fallen angel locust army. They aren’t literal locust but are supernatural men that satan brings with him when they are all expelled from heaven at the woe of the fifth trumpet.

Revelation 9:[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.

The term of the locust is written of in the book of Joel chapter 1.

There’re three woe trumpets written of in God’s Word.

Revelation 8:[13] And I beheld, and heard an angel (angel should be translated to eagle) flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

The last three trumpets are woe trumpets five, six and seven. We’re in the fifth trumpet now but in my opinion the fifth trumpet has been sounding since 1969 with the Apollo moon mission. (as in the eagle has landed.)

After the great the horn of the he goat breaks (United Nations in my opinion) then the four winds will blow and this will start the five month long hour of temptation, Daniel’s 70th week, which was seven years but has been shortened to a five month period. The four winds always mean the hour of temptation.

Let’s look more into the woe of the fifth trumpet.

Revelation 12:[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Satan and his seven thousand fallen angels and this includes the ten kings (locust army) will all be cast out of heaven and onto the earth at that time which is the woe of the fifth trumpet.

Revelation 12:[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

In the first half which is two and a half months will be a political beast system and then two and a half months later satan will heal the deadly wound ( known as the fifth vial) to that one world political system by his appearance in Jerusalem as antichrist and he will be claiming that he is Jesus returned and this will be the religious beast system.

Revelation 9:[12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Revelation 13:[11 ] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Satan has two horns like a lamb, one horn being the political beast and one horn being the religious beast.

at this point we’re now moving from the woe of the fifth trumpet to the woe of the sixth trumpet and this is when Satan appears in Jerusalem as antichrist claiming to be Jesus returned.

This will be the one world religious system and this will be in the second half of the two and a half months of the five month long hour of temptation.

At the sounding of the woe of the sixth trumpet there will be no buying or selling unless you’re participating in the antichrist’s religious system.

Revelation 9:[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Revelation 13:[12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, (the political beast) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

From the woe of the fifth trumpet to the woe of the seventh trumpet is 150 Days Solar or 140 Days Lunar. Total time is five months.

Daniel 9:27 tells us that satan appears as antichrist half way through the hour of temptation, in the midst of the week.

Matthew 24:[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

At the sounding of the seventh trumpet when the True Christ returns then the one thousand year long day of the Lord begins, and this is called the Great Tribulation. (Millennium)

Let the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you, repent and be blessed.
