The 7 Trumpet Judgements

The 7 Trumpet Judgements

It begins with 7 Angels who have 7 trumpets preparing to sound them. (Rev. 8:6)

This is not the time to keep turning your back away from GOD, for these judgements are considerably far worse than the 7 seal judgements discussed earlier. The devastation coming is nearly unthinkable but it will happen.

I pray that whoever reads Revelations, whether it is your first time or your twentieth time, that you take heed of these prophesies.

These are words given to John to record down for all of us in the future...they are GODs words.

Revelation 8:7 "The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up"
(imagine all the green grass burned throughout earth...have you seen a forest fire and the ravaged landscape it leaves behind? 1/3 of all trees gone!! think about all the things we use wood for...homes, furniture, pencils, firewood. 1/3 of our earth burnt...think of how many homeless people we will have then.)

Revelation 8:8 -9 "The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed."

Revelation 8:10-11 "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter."

Revelation 8:12 "The fourth angle sounded his trumpet, 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 turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night."
(Can you imagine what farmers would lose if we lost 1/3 of the sunshine needed to grow the crops? There will be even more starving people in the world. Think about the daily Vitamin D you need just from sunshine, not a vitamin supplement.)

The next verse in Revelations Chap. 8, #13 we are told an eagle crys out in a loud voice warning us "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"

The last 7 Trumpet Judgements will follow in the next lesson, as these last 3 are very detailed in the book of Revelations.
