“The street emptied … like when Moses parted the Red Sea,” said Zoran Radovanovic, an epidemiologist who was in the crowd.
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.

BELGRADE (Reuters) – Tamara Bojanovski was in a crowd of anti-government protesters in Belgrade on March 15 when she heard a sound “like some powerful machine hurtling up from behind”.
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Isaiah 30 : 21
Thousands of others heard it too
Thousands of others heard it too; the crowd packed into one of the Serbian capital’s main boulevards parted abruptly, rushing to the sidewalks.
Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of a union of Church and State, the inroads of Spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands have never listened to words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from Heaven. The people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so? The ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears, and quiet the awakened conscience. But many refuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of men, and demand a plain “Thus saith the Lord.” The popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, are filled with anger as their authority is questioned; they denounce the message as of Satan, and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it. 4SP 424.1
Stefan, a student, recalled a “rumble”, then a “whoosh” and a sensation of something speeding toward the crowd. Another student, Dragica, felt “a wave travelling through us”.

“People felt faint, and some fell over,” said lawyer Bozo Prelevic, a former joint interior minister.
The noise lasted only a few seconds.
But speculation that a sonic weapon was used illegally to disperse the rally has filled headlines, talk shows and social media. President Aleksandar Vucic, already facing the biggest civil protests in decades, is under pressure to explain the incident.
Sonic weapons employ extreme sound to incapacitate targets. They can damage ears and cause headaches and nausea, and their use is illegal in Serbia.
Thus will the message of the third angel be proclaimed. As the time comes for the loud cry to be given, the Lord will work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves to his service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of his Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. 4SP 424.1
Authorities denied possessing such devices, until Interior Minister Ivica Dacic admitted that police had bought Long-Range Acoustic Devices – used by authorities in the United States, Australia, Greece and Japan – from the U.S. in 2021.

But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Acts 17 : 5
Then Serbia’s police, BIA security and intelligence agency and military all denied ever using them in public.
Vucic said on Saturday that Russia had sent experts from its FSB intelligence service to investigate at Belgrade’s request, and on Monday said American FBI investigators would also arrive within days. The U.S. Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.
The Omega Foundation, a human rights watchdog, said photos and witness accounts they reviewed and audiovisual footage obtained by Reuters were inconclusive, but suggested an LRAD could have been used.
“We really haven’t seen an effect like this. It was so distinctive,” said Omega Foundation researcher Neil Corney.

Earshot, a not-for-profit organisation that specialises in audio investigations, which also saw the footage, said the noise could have come from a vortex ring gun, an experimental non-lethal weapon for crowd control that uses high-energy doughnut-shaped vortices of air or gas, but that more research was needed.
However, U.S.-based Genasys, which makes LRADs, said that audio and video evidence “does not support the use of an LRAD”.
The protesters had gathered in memory of 15 people who died when a train station roof collapsed in November in the city of Novi Sad.
That tragedy, which many blame on government corruption and shoddy construction, has drawn hundreds of thousands onto the streets and forced prime minister Milos Vucevic to resign, as well as continuing to put pressure on Vucic.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Psalm 11 : 3
The prophecy of Revelation 13 declares that the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns shall cause “the earth and them which dwell therein” to worship the papacy—there symbolized by the beast “like unto a leopard”…. This prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy….
Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth, and even in free America rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance.—The Great Controversy, 578, 579, 592 (1911). LDE 129.2 – LDE 129.3

Geolocation of the videos suggests that the sound wave travelled south along Kralja Milana Street for over 500 metres.
“The street emptied … like when Moses parted the Red Sea,” said Zoran Radovanovic, an epidemiologist who was in the crowd.
