Seven Trumpets of Revelation

Many people ignore the word of God and are going after money, fame and entertainment. We are surrounded with all the evidence of what the evil of sin can inflict on mankind. The proof of Christ existence and that of God the Father will be revealed in all its heavenly glory to every man, woman and child. God will gain the attention of each person by sending great calamities on the earth. These calamities will occur during the seven trumpets found in the book of Revelation. At that time we will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Shortly before the seven trumpets sound the people on earth will be shaken awake by a worldwide earthquake. These earthquakes will increasingly rip up the surface of the world, and the infrastructures of travel, communication and manufacturing will collapse during the Great Tribulation. These earthquakes will have greater strength than the one before it. The final earthquake will be so violent that it will literally move all of the mountains and islands from their places. (Revelation 16:20; 6:14). It will be accompanied by tremendous noises like the roar of a lion, peals of thunder and flashes of lightning. This earthquake marks the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Shortly after the great earthquake, around 3 to 4 weeks, the seven trumpets are given to the angels of God. 

1^st Trumpet

When the first trumpet is blown, there came HAIL and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up (Rev 8:7). Meteoric firestorms will ignite unquenchable fires all over the world and the accompanying windstorms will destroy billions of acres of trees, food crops and vegetation within a few days.

2^nd Trumpet

When the second trumpet is blown, 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 creatures which were in the sea and had souls, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed (Rev 8:8). Asteroid will impact the ocean at the speed of 50,000 miles per hour. The impact will create a series of tidal waves that can swallow up an entire city.

3^rd Trumpet

When the third trumpet is blown, a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter (Rev 8:9). The second asteroid will impact the earth and contaminate water supply. Sewage, deadly bacteria, toxic chemicals and other garbage buried in the Earth will seep into underground aquifers. 

4^th Trumpet

When the fourth trumpet is blown, a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way (Rev 8:10). Hundreds of powerful violet volcanic eruptions will occur. These will be numerous and powerful and cause great damage.

5^th Trumpet

The last three trumpets are called woes because their devastation is so overwhelming. He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads (Rev 9:2-4). God deliberately puts the whole world in a desperate situation because He knows it is the best way to get everyone’s undivided attention. 

6^th Trumpet

One saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates (Rev 9:14). Satan and demon will take charge of earth. Billions of people will be slaughtered. 

7^th Trumpet – The Final Seal

And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." (Rev 11:15). There is a second worldwide earthquake. It is accompanied by noises, thunder and lightning. Human probation ends. People can no longer be converted to Jesus and choose to serve Him. Every person will continue to worship the master he has chosen, either Jesus or Satan.
