UPDATE: January 12, 2013******
When I originally posted this in April of 2011, 95% or better of Revelation 18 could be seen as having been fulfilled. KEEP in mind this Angel of Revelation 18 when delivering this message is doing so at a time MOST of the events in his message have ALREADY OCCURRED! At the timeframe of April 2011, None of Vs 21 had occurred, the Plagues are still on the HORIZON to be
fulfilled in their fullness and have yet to come, this also has to do with THE CALL to “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE” being yet to fully come, and is on the Horizon. This CALL to “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE” , the Plagues that follow, and the events of passages of Revelation 18:22 have yet to occur in fullness and coincide with prophecies in Ecclesiastes chapt 12 and Nahum chapter 3. But as you can see by the archived commentary of the passages of vs 22 fwd in the next few verses after this UPDATE, I was pointing for years at least 2 by this archive, but more, that more events were coming to fulfill these verses in Revelation 18. Consider recently the event of Hurricane Sandy. NEW YORK CITY was hit by it’s first hurricane and found itself underwater, millions of lives impacted. What would happen to a city such as one in Revelation 18:21, if that city was situated next to the ocean, if a Mighty Angel Cast a GREAT MILLSTONE into the sea?
Let me re-phrase, if a stone, say the size of small mountain were cast into the Sea, next to a CITY which sat on that coast…would not that CITY FIND ITSELF…UNDERWATER?
Things that make you go HMMMMmmmmm!!!
Anyway, more of this Chapter is about to be fulfilled, as the CALL “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE” is about to rouse sleeping Virgins from their slumber!

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;
(((and this is the reference to the time soon coming, noted in the final part of Nahum 2 when there shall be NO MORE MESSENGERS at ALL IN THEE)))
and the voice of the bridegroom and
(((At this point the voice of the BRIDEGROOM has fallen silent and is heard no more at all in thee, and the THE ANGEL OF REVELATION 18:1 represents the voice of and stands with the BRIDE and soon…THE VOICE…))
of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth;
(((note the term “WERE” the great men of the earth. Consider what has happened to the US Dollar in the world Market place in the last ten years and the role of China taking on becoming the worlds Economic Superpower)))
for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
(((( AND TO ALL…living, sleeping and Martyred amongst the children of Light…the reason for the events of Revelation 18 and those judgments is reiterated…)))
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
(((( THE BLOOD OF THE PROPHETS HAS COME UP BEFORE THE FACE OF THIS WORLD))))
Now it is easy to see in those passages looking back the city of Modern New York in God’s Prophetic Timeline in relation to our current standing and Revelation 18:1. But David in recorded audio sermons prophesyied this event to apply to Washington D.C.
Now “we” (post 4.19. 93) know Washington D.C. is clearly part of the events of 9/11 and those paying attention are aware of this truth having been taught in the past during Sabbath Studies…but in this passage, aside from the relation of David’s message and the things not seen named in foresight in this passage like Flight 93, with exception of that final flight as noted in vs 10, to have struck the pentagon. So how does this relate to NAHUM 3…and the fact that such passage was not fulfilled by the Waco event but began to be so in the MACRO those who were inside Mt. Carmel, and now in the Micro to all paying attention and surviving that event, which is as well to note to encompass as well those paying attention derived of those who survived both on the inside (note the instruction to the righteous in Revelation 18:20 included as well instruction to “HOLY APOSTLES”) and now in the Micro includes those paying attention amongst the Students of the Seven seals outside of MT. Carmel and likewise all of us who began paying attention from the events of the article “THE SINFUL MESSIAH” and forward…after the event the world has come to know as “WACO?”
Before we see how it does apply in the Micro to us, let us see why chapter 3 does not APPLY in the MICRO, that is by direct experience and personal cost, attachment or interaction to those who Died at Mt. Carmel in 1993.
Consider recently the alleged testimony of Rita Riddle reported by another, was alleged to have used Nahum Chapter 3 to justify Mass Suicide. In such the passage, noting a place where the word SIEGE was mentioned to apply to the actual SEIGE of MT. Carmel in 1993. It in fact does not. And we see this by placing the passage referenced into perspective and asking a couple of questions or so.
This is the passage noted, and remember, that just as David saw certain event which would impact him and those with him in the Micro, there is room that speculation to other events which were in fact seen in visions, but were also to be revealed as was the case with the Shepherds Rod/ Davidian SDA…expectations to near future events to reach them in the Micro which were in fact…macro, via their application being more Micro to those paying attention in a future generation, albeit very near future.
Here is the passage which was taken out of context recently, to explain past events, but as the event was a future expectation prior to the fire at Mt. Carmel on 4.19.93, and is still at this point as we will see a FUTURE Event…David’s promotion of it as a future event…associated to those students of the Seven Seals, was in fact, still correct, despite the since 4.19.93 incorrect application of the same teaching by David by perhaps some of the remaining students of the seven seals and certainly with no doubt promoted incorrectly by others.
Nahum 3:
14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
Now on the surface…this passage can be promoted to explain the event of the siege and fire at Mt. Carmel in 1993. One can go so far as to include the doctrine of the locust army as promoted by some to be comprised of the saints.
Now I am not refuting that doctrine…what I am refuting is for one thing, this command here to magnify thyself as the locusts, is, as the rest of the content in these passages, not directed at the RIGHTEOUS. The passage concerning the siege here and fire, are not related in the micro to the events at Waco and Mt. Carmel on 4.19.93 no matter how much some would like to promote mass suicide and buy stock in gasoline and matches on wall street. The proof of this is seen in taking these verses in context and viewing the passage both prior to and following these verses. IN the passage prior to if you read it, you will realize that the group in these two verses is not the righteous, but the wicked, and the righteous, and more directly so, can be seen in the persons of the Surviving Students of the Seven seals who endured that SIEGE in 93, an event which happpend prior to verses 14 and 15 here, and those Survivors can be seen in verse 10 of Nahum chapter 3…
