God Has a Fixed  Time 
 
By Servant of God

The cup is God's anger, that's why you should know God has a fixed time, when He's ready He will pour it out.

In our Father's Word there is more then one time that He warns us that's going to happen.  We begin in Psalms 75.

Psalms 75:1 Unto Thee, O God, do we give thanks, Unto Thee do we give thanks: for that Thy name is near Thy wondrous works declare.
 
Psalms 75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

The word congregation is Strong's # H4150  Mow  Ed  (Properly an {Appointment} that {is} a fixed time or season)

When the congregation gathers together for judgment at a fixed time, God wants you to know it's a fixed time.
 
Psalms 75:8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; It is full of mixture; and He poureth out of the same;  But the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them,”
 
We are going to the vials, God`s Cup. Revelation 15
 
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
 
The fixed time for these plagues is the 7th trump, that was the third WOE,
 
All these seven vials, all these seven cups will be poured out during the 7th trump. That`s right at the end.

Revelation 15:2 And I saw it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark
and over his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

How many trumps have sounded in this verse? We are in the 7th trump in this verse, and the vials have not begun to be poured out.
 
Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvellous are thy works, LORD God
Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
 
Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear Thee O LORD, and glorify Thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before Thee,
for Thy judgments are made manifest.”
 
Revelation 15:5 And after that I looked and behold, the Temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
 
Revelation 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the Temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
 
Revelation 15:7  And one of the four beasts (ZOON) gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, Who liveth for ever and ever.
 
Revelation 15:8  And the Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
                   
There we have another time line.
 
Revelation 16

Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the Temple saying to the seven angels, “Go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon  the earth.”
 
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

So you can see here the vials are poured out after the people have worshipped the beast. (Antichrist) and it's time for correction.
 
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea.

This is the same thing the two witnesses do in Revelation 11:6
 
Revelation 11:6   These have the power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
 
Now let's go to the 6th trump, the trumps tell us what's going to happen in the vials,   the trumps and vials give us different views on the judgments, just like Matthew 24, and Mark 13 are head on views and Luke 21 is a side view of the seals, there are only 7 judgments, (the trumps and vials) there are not 14 judgments. They are the judgments or Plagues of Egypt.
 
Now the word sound or sounded is Strong's # G4537  salpizo, to trumpet, i.e. sound a blast (lit. or fig.):—(which are yet to) sound (a trumpet) meaning they have not sounded but are getting ready to sound, trumpets just mean when to start the EXECUTION of that judgment.
 
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,
 
Revelation 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, “loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.” 
 
Revelation 9:15 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 man.
 
Now side column for  verse 15 hour, day, month, year. A fixed point of time, not a period of duration.
 
Now when is that fixed time? that fixed time is when God pours out those vials or judgments at the 7th trump.
 
Now the VIALS tells us when it HAPPENS,
 
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
 
These SEVEN VIALS and their effects we take to be literal; i.e., to be exactly what is said of them. They belong to no figures of speech. The language is clear and precise. There is nothing beyond our faith, though there may be beyond our reason. True, they are supernatural, but not unnatural.

In the plagues of Egypt, which all take to be literal, we have many judgments exactly similar. Indeed, six out of the seven Vials are just the same as the plagues of Egypt, and God has again and again declared that their final judgments should be like, yea, should be worse than those (Ex. 34.10).

The First Vial is like the sixth plague, which was of Boils, etc.

The Second and Third Vials are like the first plague, when the waters became blood.

The Fifth Vial is like the ninth plague, when darkness overspread the land.

The Sixth Vial is like the second plague, of frogs.

The Seventh Vial is like the 7th plague, of hail, &c.

The Fourth is the only Vial which has no counterpart in the Egyptian plagues; and that is the great "heat." Now, if six out of these seven judgments have already been once seen and experienced, why should not like plagues be sent again, when it is expressly said that the supernatural events connected with Israel's return shall be "like as it was ... in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt" (Isaiah 11. 16)?

The fourth Vial is the two witnesses,  They were not there when the Egyptian plagues took place.
