Revelation 8:6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

What happens after the seals?

Here comes another set of seven. This time it is seven trumpets blown by seven angels. In the Bible the number seven is a number of completeness, a number representing God. So going through the seals, trumpets and bowl judgements there are seven. Each of the three sets of judgements are worsening penalties. Expect these judgements to be worse than the seals, and the bowls to be worse than the trumpets. And again, no one likes writing or talking about these, but this is the truth of Gods’ word.

The first sounding of the first trumpet.

Revelation 8:7 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. What could this mean? Think of it in these terms, today’s nuclear weapons are up to 80 times more powerful than the ones dropped on Japan in World War 2. Meteors that fall from space can be more powerful than nuclear weapons. Or God could let the angels actually throw fire and hail from the sky. This has happened before in Joshua 10:11.

Whatever this judgement, it was prophesied in Isaiah 30:30, Ezekiel 13:11 and Ezekiel 38:22. Again, it is worldwide and it affects one-third of the trees and grass. Think of the wildlife, farm animals and even the carbon dioxide levels, and oxygen level that will be involved with this trumpet judgement. It is more devastating as we go along. But still at this time people have the opportunity to repent.

This is overwhelming!

This is very overwhelming. At this time, we are not talking about the little baby Jesus in the manger. We are talking about the Lion of the tribe of Judah. A name in which every knee will bow! Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
