Element 5

The land is full of blood and perverseness (Ezek 9:9). Innocent blood is shed, oppression instead of judgment, cry instead of righteousness, judgment and righteousness are wormwood, gall and hemlock. (II Kings 21:16; 24:4; Ezek 11:6; Isa 5:7; Amos 5:7; 6:12) The Lord makes the men set a mark who sigh and cry for the abominations, makes his servants mark lest the blow hurt them, which is devoted to those who deserve it (Ezek 9:4-6).

In the Book of Revelation (Part 7) 4 angels stand on the 4 corners of the earth and a 5th angel comes from East having the seal of God and cries with a loud voice to the 4 angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Then start the 7 trumpet-judgments. When the first 4 angels sound the first 4 trumpets, natural disasters take place on the earth. When the 5th angel sounds the 5th trumpet (1. woe), the blow torments those men only who have not the seal of God in their foreheads (Rev 9:4). People do not repent their sins either after the plagues of the 6th seal or the pouring out of the 4th, the 5th and the 7th vials. They rather blaspheme the God of heaven and the name of God (Rev 8; 9; 16).
