REPORT: “When the 7th Angel begins to sound” – Part 1


It was heaven on earth at Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria when on December, 2012, a stream of trumpets rent the air. The message was unambiguous, clear like crystals and delivered with pin-point precision.

“Move, move from where you are to the place God is waiting for you”. Pentecost is outdated, the cloud of glory has moved into the “feasts of Tabernacles”.

The trumpeters though differed in style and height but unified in purpose and pursuit. And as they combed the scriptures with illuminating and infectious simplicity, their passion to get the world back on the right track with God was easily revealed.  

Wait a moment; are you really conversant with the time we are in? Do you know where you are located right now in God’s calendar for the earth?

Do you wonder why certain things prohibited by the bible are now rampant in churches and among church leaders? Are you troubled or confused about God’s seeming “muteness” all this while? Have you known that “Pentecostalism” is just one of the transition points in God’s purpose for the earth? Are you willing to know the meaning and significance of the different metaphoric symbols and allegories that dot the bible from “Genesis to Revelation“? Has it occurred to you that Pentecostalism is already judged by God and that this judgment accounts for the ugly trend wherein pastors, leaders, general overseers and gladiators of Pentecost now delight greatly in the ways and values of the world? Have you seen clearly that “babylonianism” has taken over many churches in Nigeria and beyond? 

In addition to providing specific answers to the questions listed above, the trumpet messages leave sufficient manual for spiritual self-evaluation, navigation and alignment with God’s blueprint.
Bro. Wole Olakunle, the pastor and shepherd of The Third Temple (Church of the First Born) set the ball rolling by taking listeners to the theme of the seminar WHEN THE 7TH ANGEL BEGINS TO SOUND; EVENTS BEFORE AND AFTER.
He said that the topic taken from the book of Revelation 10:7, 11:15 –underscores the significance of the time we are right now in God’s calendar for the earth. Also, that the end to all mysteries of God was very close judging by the signals and signposts in the bible. These, on the other hand, are located within the yardstick, ordained by God as referral blueprint for all Christians. This trumpeter did not mince words that all Christians were pilgrims on a journey with God taking off from biblical or spiritual Egypt through the wilderness to the Promised Land (Zion).Again, he explained that the blueprint of the journey was domiciled in the feasts of Israel ordained by God, the author and finisher of it all.The feasts, seven in number, were identified as:
  • The Passover feasts;
  • The feast of unleavened bread
  • The feast of first fruits
  • The feast of Pentecost
  • Feast of trumpets
  • Feast of atonement and
  • The feast of Tabernacle
With clear reference to the scriptures, each of these feasts was identified as both a highpoint in the spiritual realm and a phase in the journey with God. Thus, each “highpoint or move of God” has its own characteristics, signs, essence and purpose. Migration in God and with God was therefore established as a cardinal principle from the book of Genesis to that of Revelation.
The forefathers of faith (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) observed these principles and so also the children of Israel when they moved from Egypt to Canaan.
