What is the true meaning of the 'fire, smoke, and sulphur' in Revelation 9?

📰The Bible is one of the best-selling and most widely distributed books in history, yet it is also considered to be among the least understood. The Bible, which is referred to as the New Covenant and Promise of God, in which 'the way to heaven and salvation' is presented, differs in theologians' interpretations that make it difficult to understand. These differing interpretations have been the cause of the rise of denominations with each one establishing their own doctrine. With the increase in online church services and gatherings resulting from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, there has been growing interest in the comparison of various church doctrine. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide readers with the opportunity to compare differing Biblical teachings without interpretation. Among a host of online sermons and Bible-based teachings, the contrasting doctrine between the established Church and Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which has drawn public interest throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, is hereby compared and summarised. Best efforts have been made to provide a summary of Shincheonji Church of Jesus' understanding of the Bible. Judgment as to what is right or wrong is left to the reader’s discernment.


“Untruths (lies) that kill a person's spirit; that is, Satan's false teachings and doctrines
Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
                                                                        ===========================

When the sixth trumpet is sounded in Revelation 9, there are horses readied to kill 1/3 of the people, and their heads are like lions, and it is said that fire, smoke and sulphur come out of their mouths to kill 1/3 of the people. Some pastors claim that the fire, smoke and sulphur is actual radiation, biological and chemical gases, and they claim that this is World War Three. In Revelation 19:11, it is said that Jesus comes riding on a white horse. Is it saying that when Jesus returns, he will come in a white tank or a white fighter jet?

In conclusion, the fire, smoke and sulphur in the text refers to the untruths, or lies that kill a person's spirit; that is, Satan's false teachings and doctrines.

First of all, what a believer needs to know is that in 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, the coming of the Lord at the second coming will be fulfilled according to the order of betrayal, destruction, and salvation.

When the time for the fulfilment of Revelation comes, as promised in Revelation 1, the seven messengers and the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands appear. They break the covenant with God as seen in Revelation 2~3 and become one with the group of destroyers, the Nicolaitans. At this time, Jesus sends letters of repentance through the promised shepherd, the promised messenger of Jesus, but they do not repent. Because of this, they are judged by the Lamb Jesus in Revelation 6 and cast out, like Adam. Later, in Revelation chapters 8-9, it is recorded that the spirits are killed by one third by the false shepherds of the Gentiles, and are destroyed.

Therefore, it can be seen that the location of the event in Revelation 9 is the tabernacle of heaven that appeared in Revelation chapters 2, 3 and 6, that is, the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands. It is not an event that occurs throughout the world.

In Revelation 9, it is said that when the fifth angel blows his trumpet, a star that fell from the sky opens the abyss, and locusts come out of the earth and torment 
people who are not sealed. When the sixth angel blows his trumpet, the four angels bound at the river Euphrates are released, followed by 200,000,000 mounted troops, whose tails are like snakes, and they have heads on their tails so that fire, smoke, and sulphur come out of their mouths. It is said that 1/3 of mankind are subsequently killed. Does such a beast really exist?

The words in this text are not literal, but parables, and as we see in Isaiah 31:3, they refer to the body 
(person) that is used, and the rider refers to the spirit that controls the body (person) likened to a horse. The fact that the head of a horse is like a lion means that this entity is a destroyer who devours sheep-like believers.

Also, it is said that fire, smoke and sulphur come out of their mouths, but how can fire come out of a real horse's mouth? Again, this is not a real fire, but a parable. In Jeremiah 5:14, the words that come out of one's mouth are likened to fire. The fire in the text refers to false teachings and doctrines that burn and kill people's spirits.

Therefore, when fire, smoke and sulphur come out of the mouths of the horses to kill, it means to kill a person's spirit through the false teachings and doctrines from the mouth of a destroyer, a false shepherd. To recap, the fire, smoke and sulphur in Revelation 9 are the false teachings, doctrines and commentaries of false shepherds from a gentile nation who took the pulpit in the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands that betrayed. This is the explanation of how 1/3 of the shepherds and congregation of the Tabernacle Temple were killed.

It is said that they do not repent despite being tempted, oppressed, and killed by 
Satan's group with whom they colluded. This is not talking about World War III.

“In Revelation 9, the 'fire', 'radiation' and 'smoke' all refers to 'biological gas' and chemical gas'

Pastor, Presbyterian Church
Everyone, you've seen this new weapon. Think about it. Did the ancients ever see this weapon? Ancient people never saw this weapon. How do you see the new weapon? In the vision, there are horses and riders, and fire, smoke and sulphur. Those on horseback are pilots - first in tanks, then in planes, and then assembling with miscellaneous weapons, with breastplates flashing back and forth. What is fire, smoke and sulphur? A 'Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) Attack'.

I'm talking about the war that will take place during World War 3 that I mentioned earlier
: a 'CBR Attack'. So how do you do it? What is fire
? 'Radiation'. Then what's the smoke? 'Chemical Gas'. What is 'sulphur'? Smoke is a 'biological gas' and sulphur is a 'chemical gas'. These things are just going to explode.

Modern weapons have a lot of comrades and firepower. It goes out from the front, from the back, from the side, and from behind the wing. I saw this going out from the back and going out from the front like this.
