Prelude “After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.” [Revelation 15:5-8](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2015%3A5-8&version=NKJV) This is the prelude to the entire 7 last plagues which I believe applies to the seals and trumpets as well as they are all bound to each other.  Revelation and Daniel both are full of references to the temple which we know from Paul is a real, tangible thing (see [Hebrews 8:1-5](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%208%3A1-5&version=NKJV)), so a knowledge of the Jewish temple, its items and ceremonies is necessary as they are referred to as if the reader knows them.  If you don’t, many things won’t make sense.  See [[The Sanctuary and Its Meaning at the Time of the End]] for a better understanding. # 1st Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 1st seal [Revelation 6:2](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A2&version=NKJV)  - a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. - 1st trumpet [Revelation 8:7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208%3A7&version=NKJV) - The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. - 1st plague [Revelation 16:2](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A2&version=NKJV) - So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. ## Points of Interest - This point in time I believe begins the 1260 days.  The events that are associated with the 1260 days are: - The first beast is given authority, and goes to make war with the woman for sure, and I believe “others in the deception of Satan, such as invading or prep for invading aliens” [Revelation 13:5](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013%3A5&version=NKJV) - The two witnesses ([Revelation 11](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011&version=NKJV)) are given power to kill with fire, stop rain, turn water to blood, and bring all plagues.  I believe this is both done as God’s wrath on the wicked, and as a defense for the woman, to allow her to prepare for her bride’s coming - The woman is taken to the wilderness to a place prepared for her.  She is under the power of the beast being controlled by the harlot to persecute her.  There are martyrs with a special blessing ([Revelation 14:13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014%3A13&version=NKJV)) if they die after the 1260 days start.  Those that live until Christ comes are the 144,000. - 1st seal shows a fully enabled first beast power (earth alliance) - The white horse is representative of the mouthpiece and crown of the first beast. It is the USA (the Lion of Daniel 7). - It is tasked with leading the first beast/alliance - This first horse is also representative of the Lion in [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV) being the first beast’s mouthpiece. If you line up the outline of [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV) you will see that there are 4 beasts, and what follows them are events that play out.  Here with Seals/Trumpets/Plagues there are 4 horses, and events that follow. So why are they horses instead of beasts as before.  I believe this is directly related to the description of the beast in [Revelation 13:2](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013%3A2&version=NKJV) “Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority” So I believe the white horse represents that the USA becomes the mouthpiece of the beast that is fully formed at this point in time (beginning of the 1260 days).  The white horse is given a crown, as its leader.  He goes out and as the leader of the beast (a bow means he is armed) he is set to go conquer everything, and trample the remnant. - When the first beast is ready to go to war, a comet or asteroid hits the earth, I believe it is the first act of the two witnesses, and they are responsible for most if not all of the things associated with the first 4 Seals/Trumpets/Plagues, and most likely the 5th too. - I believe that the 4 Seals/Trumpets/Plagues all start at the same time.  The seals represent the state of the first beast (because he is a combination of the 3 beasts of [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV) which, when allied, becomes the first beast) when they (the 4 Seals/Trumpets/Plagues) happen.  The trumpets and plagues clearly define a comet or asteroid hitting the earth and the consequences of it. - In [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV), each of the four beasts has its description, and a combination of events that describe its state.  Here, each of the horses (which are describing the mouth, body and legs of the 4th beast/alliance) have a description in the seals, and the state at the moment the time starts is in the trumpets and plagues. Note also that [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV) is the start of the prophetic vision section of Daniel, and it sets up the players.  [Revelation 6](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206&version=NKJV) is doing the same thing for Revelation [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV) does for Daniel. They line up perfectly. # 2nd Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 2nd seal [Revelation 6:3](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A3&version=NKJV) - Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. - 2nd trumpet [Revelation 8:8-9](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208%3A8-9&version=NKJV) - And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. - 2nd plague [Revelation 16:3](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A3&version=NKJV) - on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died. ## Points of Interest - The red horse is representative of the feet of the first beast.  It is Russia, or the bear of [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV).  (See points of interest on the 1st Seal/Trumpet/Plague). - It is tasked with taking peace and killing - In this set, the sea (salt water) becomes blood due to the comet/asteroid # 3rd Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 3rd seal [Revelation 6:5-6](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A5-6&version=NKJV) - a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” - 3rd trumpet [Revelation 8:10-11](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208%3A10-11&version=NKJV) - And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter. - 3rd plague [Revelation 16:4](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A4&version=NKJV) - the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. ## Points of Interest - The black horse is representative of the body of the first beast.  It is China, or the Leopard of [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV).  (See points of interest on the 1st Seal/Trumpet/Plague). - It is charged with leading commerce - The fresh water becomes blood, bitter, undrinkable # 4th Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 4th seal [Revelation 6:8](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A8&version=NKJV) - So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. - 4th trumpet [Revelation 8:12-13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208%3A12-13&version=NKJV) - And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. - 4th plague [Revelation 16:8-9](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A8-9&version=NKJV) - Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. ## Points of Interest - The pale horse is representative of the first beast of [Revelation 13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&version=NKJV) and the fourth beast of [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV).  It is the alliance of the other three beasts/horses. (See points of interest on the 1st Seal/Trumpet/Plague). - It is charged with death and bringing hell to earth by sword, hunger, death and by the beasts of the earth - The sun is blotted out, and men scorched by fire.  Pretty much what happens when the asteroid/comet hits. - These events are recorded between the 4th and 4th trumpets/seals/plagues - And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet(/seals/plagues) of the three angels who are about to sound!” SEE woes in the summary. - Some kind of change between the 4th and the rest of the trumpets/seals/plagues, maybe it is because the first four are simultaneous, and the last 3 consecutive. - First four Seals/Trumpets/Plagues are simultaneous events caused by a comet or asteroid, maybe coinciding with the two witnesses showing up - “By the beasts of the earth” is an interesting phrase that may have deeper meaning.  The second beast of [Revelation 13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&version=NKJV) comes up out of the earth, as do the 3 beasts of [Daniel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NKJV) that comprise the body, feet and head of the first beast of [Revelation 13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&version=NKJV). # 5th Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 5th seal [Revelation 6:9-11](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A9-11&version=NKJV) - When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. - 5th trumpet [Revelation 9:1-4](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%209%3A1-4&version=NKJV) - And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. - 5 months - Grievous stings - Only on those with the Mark of the Beast - 5th plague [Revelation 16:10-11](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A10-11&version=NKJV) - Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds. ## Points of Interest - The 5th seal represents the coming end to God’s patience with Satan and his persecutions of the saints.  I definitely do NOT believe there are literal souls stuck under the altar in heaven, but that these voices cry out figuratively giving meaning God’s coming outpouring of wrath. - The locusts I don’t have much to add other than this doesn’t seem to be another comet/asteroid type event because something “living” or mechanical comes out of it.  Most likely the two witnesses bring this down, and by having the three descriptions we can see that it is “poured out on the throne of the beast” so we know the target.  But it only hurts those with the Mark.  5 months (150 days) is given to them to do their mission.   # 6th Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 6th seal [Revelation 6:12-17](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206%3A12-17&version=NKJV) - I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.  And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” - 6th trumpet [Revelation 9:10-11](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%209%3A10-11&version=NKJV) - Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. - 6th plague [Revelation 16:12-15](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A12-15&version=NKJV) - Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. ## Points of Interest - These are the preludes to Christ’s 2nd Advent - Forces are gathered to fight.  I believe they are gathering to attempt to prevent Christ from coming to the Earth, though they don’t know this due to the deception of Satan.  They think it is an invading force. - There are events put between the 6th and 7th seal/trumpet/plague which I believe help in understanding the events.  They are not necessarily in the timeline, or chronological order but help in understanding how things wrap up: - Between the 6th and 7th Seal The sealing of the 144,000 in [Revelation 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%207&version=NKJV).  Note the events in [Revelation 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%207&version=NKJV) show the sealing happens before the 6th trumpet because that is the release of the 4 angels.  It ends after the 2nd Advent so it is informational rather than timeline related other than to help pinpoint that sealing time is before the 6th seal/trumpet/plague. - Between the 6th and 7th Trumpet - The Little Book of [Revelation 10](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2010&version=NKJV).  There are two scenes in this chapter: - A mighty angel’s proclamation “I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.” [Revelation 10:1-7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2010%3A1-7&version=NKJV) - The little book is Either Revelation, or in my opinion a two chapter book of prophecy, those chapters being Daniel and Revelation.  It could also be a book of all prophecies related to the time of the end in the bible.  - The loud voice and 7 thunders I believe are the same as the “noises” and thunderings in the 7th Seal/Trumpet/Plague.  I believe one of the reasons John is told to not write down what is said is because in them God announces the hour, day, month and year of Christ’s coming and associated things that only he reveals.  And this is where he does that.  We won’t know that exact time until then, but now, we do get to know “times and seasons”, or the events and times up to that announcement. - The angel tells John he must prophesy again For me, this is the strongest evidence for dual application of prophecy.  The angel knows Revelation is unsealed and those of his day will apply it, as will those over the years, but this is telling him there will be a sure “again” at the time of the end to the whole world. - Two Witnesses of [Revelation 10:1-14](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2010%3A1-14&version=NKJV) - These prophesy 1260 days - These kill by fire, bring plagues, stop rain, turn water to blood.  Basically all the things the seals/trumpets/plagues record, these are the agents that call those things down.  I believe their major act is the calling of the comet/asteroid of the 1st through 4th trumpets/plagues. - Between the 6th and 7th Plague - “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” [Revelation 16:15](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A15&version=NKJV) This tells me Christ’s second Advent is imminent with the 7th seal/trumpet/plague. - And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. [Revelation 16:16](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A16&version=NKJV) The 4 angels of the sixth trumpet have released the forces that are assembled to prevent what they perceive as an Invasion force coming. The battle of Armaggedon will begin. # 7th Seal/Trumpet/Plague - 7th seal [Revelation 8:1-5](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208%3A1-5&version=NKJV) - When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake. - 7th trumpet [Revelation 11:15-19](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011%3A15-19&version=NKJV) - Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. - 7th plague [Revelation 16:17-21](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A17-21&version=NKJV) - Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great. ## Points of Interest - The passage in [Revelation 11:18](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011%3A18&version=NKJV), “And should destroy those who destroy the earth” is insightful - “but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.” [Revelation 10:1-7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2010%3A1-7&version=NKJV) - “It is Done” [Revelation 16:17](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016%3A17&version=NKJV) - “He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” [Revelation 22:20](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2022%3A20&version=NKJV) # Summary - If the one world order/beast system is a marriage of church or religion combined with state, then these symbols may be needed in the grouping to describe each of them separately, but things happening at the same time. - I believe strongly that the seals, trumpets and plagues all describe parallel events - Looking at them together will give us clues to their place on the timeline as it may only show up on one..  - The seals/trumpets/plagues 1-4 are simultaneous.  They are all the result of a comet/asteroid - They tell of events that all relate to a comet/asteroid strike. Jesus says as it was in the days of Noah (the flood) so shall it be at the time of the end.  We now know the flood was at the beginning of the Younger Dryas event, a comet or asteroid that struck the laurentide ice sheet of North America.  It is going to happen again including a lesser flood event targeting the woman “So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.” [Revelation 12:15](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012%3A15&version=NKJV).  This is all happening during the 1260 days. - I believe that there is a separation between the 4ths and the 5ths of some type based on: “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!” [Revelation 8:13](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208%3A13&version=NKJV) - 1st woe is listed as the locusts of the fifth trumpet - 2nd woe is listed at the end of the two witnesses (they do pour out plagues) - I believe there is a connection with the sixth seal/trumpet/plague and the end of the witnesses prophesying - 3rd woe is never listed.  This must be the seventh seal/trumpet/plague - Is it possible the two witnesses begin their mission on the first day of 1260?  I think so.  That would mean it is a BIG possibility they bring on all the events of at the very least the first four seal/trumpet/plagues and possibly up to or through the sixth.    - “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.” [Revelation 11:3-6](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011%3A3-6&version=NKJV) - These guys last 1260 - They may be the source that calls the angels to deliver their seals/trumpets/plagues on God’s behalf - Two groups of Christians in the last day period (1260 days?) Those that exit via the winepress of [Revelation 14:19-20](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014%3A19-20&version=NKJV) as martyrs, and those who will form at the end the 144,000 who will be translated.   - And no, I have no doubt at all that there is NOT a group of believers raptured to escape these two possibilities.  Those that believe in the rapture are most likely going to overcome with grief when they see the reality of what they are facing and buckle under the pressure. - Why do the 144,000 have to go through the time of trouble?  Because to be translated they have to wash out of their characters all traces of worldliness and reflect the image of Christ perfectly.  This experience accomplishes this, and leaves them bonded to Christ and the Father in a special way. <span class="center-menu">[[Home Page]]</span>
