Hi Brothers,
According to Pastor Russell, the sun represents the light of truth (darkened) the moon; Divine Law (absent) and the powers of the heavens shaken represents the religious "powers that be." Of course, the BS's see this already having fulfillment years ago, when the 2 Witnesses, The Old and New Testament prophesied in sackcloth and ashes (were hidden from the people, and the people were persecuted for having any of the scriptures.) They believe the killing of the 2 Witnesses took place during the French Revolution, when literally, after the overthrow of Papacy there, Bibles were thrown into the streets and burned as the people rejoiced over the end of religion's hold on them. This has been my understanding until I began looking at these things a little deeper. I'm not at all discounting this YET. They also believe that the 7th trumpet blew, and Jesus Christ took Kingdom power in 1869--or is it 1879? Something like that. They believe that the plagues are now being poured out on mankind, and that Satan is in the process of being bound; certain tools that he's used being dismantled: the first being The Divine Right of Kings (gone), The Divine Right of Papacy (gone) and another Divine Right that I can't quite remember, lol. Sorry. But Pastor thought that socialism, and the Rights of the People would be the rule of the day, and when that wouldn't be satisfying enough, outright anarchy would break out. They also are looking at the nation of Israel right now; they believe the whole world will come against it.
Someone like Preston Eby, from what I've read so far, sees that the revealing of the Sons of God is taking place. That there will be an extra outpouring of God's spirit (like at Pentecost) that will usher in the Kingdom.
A friend of mine, who is in the Merkobah Mystery Religion, would say that all these symbols in the book of Revelation have nothing to do with world events--but everything to do with unlocking the "seals" inside the person to spiritual awakening--and once that has all taken place will understand "everything". He says that all the prophets went to the mystery schools and therefore used the same symbols to describe these "secret" messages. LOL!
Its all very interesting--and there are no simple solutions, are there? All I can say is that I just don't know what they all mean.
