Rev. 8:7: Trumpet #1 – Vegetation struck
The first four trumpets impact humanity, but focus on humanity’s environment.
Here, the first of the judgments affecting 1/3 of the earth involves earth’s vegetation.
![Page 4: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Rev. 8:8-9: Trumpet #2 – Oceans and shipping
Next, 1/3 of the oceans and the life in them is affected.
As with the first plague, the affects on humanity, especially those in coastal regions (where a large portion
of the world lives), is massive.
Shipping and food would be impacted.
![Page 5: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rev. 8:10-11: Trumpet #3 – Fresh water
One third of the fresh water on earth is impacted by what may be a meteorite.
People are either unaware of the danger or so desperate for water that they drink it and die.
![Page 6: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rev. 8:12: Trumpet #4 – Luminaries darkened
The hail, the waters being affected, and now darkness all remind us of the Egyptian plagues.
We are not sure if God supernaturally darkens 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars (Ex. 10:21-23) or if it’s due to
atmospheric conditions or something else.
![Page 7: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Rev. 8:12: Trumpet #4 – Luminaries darkened
What is clear is that light is not present for 1/3 of the day and night.
The impact on humanity and climate must be staggering.
![Page 8: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rev. 8:13: Trumpet #4 – Luminaries darkened
Now, an eagle (not “angel”) announces that things are about to worsen and that the target of these remaining
Trumpet judgments are earth’s inhabitants.
![Page 9: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rev. 8:13: Trumpet #4 – Luminaries darkened
These three “woes” provide us with clear chronology amid the three major judgments and help us realize that
the placement of the first six Trumpets are inthe first half of the Tribulation.
![Page 10: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rev. 9:1: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
“Star” Often used to refer to angels or personages and here it is
clearly identified as an angel.Gen. 37:9; Job 38:7; Dan. 8:10; Rev. 1:16, 20; 2:1; 3:1;
12:1; 12:4
![Page 11: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rev. 9:1: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
The angel is given authority (“key”) over the abyss (“bottomless pit”; also = “teenager’s stomachs”).
![Page 12: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rev. 9:2: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
Clearly, the smoke that arises is significant and may be a reference to an unparalleled volcano.
![Page 13: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rev. 9:3 Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
The identification of the “locusts” is unclear, though they are not locusts as we perceive them.
Since the passage begins with a non-literal figure in the star, it may be that these are fallen angels.
![Page 14: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rev. 9:5-6 Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
Interestingly, the Lord uses locusts as a picture of the coming judgment in the Day of the Lord
Joel 2:1-11
Their object is to torment people, but not to kill them.
Their victims would prefer death.
![Page 15: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rev. 9:7-10: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
“Like” John turns heavily to symbolism to describe the army.
• “crowns” = the victory they will enjoy• “faces” = intelligence• “hair” = an “attractiveness” to humanity?
Some of the perverse sexual activities people engage in are initially attractive, but in the end destructive
![Page 16: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Rev. 9:7-10: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
“Like” John turns heavily to symbolism to describe the army.
• “teeth” = destructive• “breastplates of iron” = immune to human attempts to
destroy them• “wings... sound like chariots…” = strike fear into men• “five months” = God’s absolute control
![Page 17: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rev. 9:11-12: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
The angel who leads this army is called “Destroyer”.
The fact that both Hebrew and Greek are given may indicate that this plague affects Jew and Gentile.
![Page 18: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rev. 9:12: Trumpet #5 – The four angels released
The “woes” are presented in a way to give us chronology.
In the “woes”, we move from the order in which the visions are presented to John, to the order in which these
events actually occur.
![Page 19: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rev. 9:13-14: Trumpet #6 – Humanity devastated
This judgment comes from the altar and again emphasizes the prayers of the saints.
![Page 20: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rev. 9:14-15: Trumpet #6 – Humanity devastated
These four angels kill 1/3 of humanity and are prepared for this precise time in history.
God’s sovereign control over these judgments is again demonstrated.
![Page 21: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rev. 9:16-19: Trumpet #6 – Humanity devastated
Like the last plague, this is highly symbolic.
The descriptions seem to emphasize what the army does instead of their appearance.
These could be figures of a human army or a supernatural one.
![Page 22: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Rev. 9:19: Trumpet #6 – Humanity devastated
“Heads” = fierce and destructive.“Breastplates” = Mankind’s inability to destroy them.“Fire, smoke, and brimstone” = Massive power and destruction.
The last plague resulted in pain; this one death.
![Page 23: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rev. 9:20-21: Trumpet #6 – Humanity devastated
Together with the Fourth Seal, before the middle of the Tribulation, approximately ½ of the population of the
earth is dead…
…and still they won’t repent!
![Page 24: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rev. 9:20-21: Trumpet #6 – Humanity devastated
Notice here that repentance involves their sins; idol worship, sorceries (drugs?), and sexual immorality.
Repentance escapes the temporal judgment of God.
They would have none of it.
![Page 25: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Romans 1:18-21
Human beings owe God glory because of the obvious nature of creation.
A personal God made this world and our universe.
It is clear from simple observation.
![Page 26: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Romans 1:18-21
Our inability to put ever-shifting “facts” together from science doesn’t change that reality.
Romans 1 teaches an accountability to a personal Creator!
![Page 27: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Romans 2:14-16
Romans 2 teaches a moral accountability to the Creator God of heaven and earth.
![Page 28: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Acts 17:22-31
It is clear that idol worship is prevalent during the Tribulation.
Sinful worship is an issue as are sinful practices.
![Page 29: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Acts 17:22-31
“No one who believed in the worship of images was properly prepared to accept the exclusive claims of the
Creator and of His Son, Jesus Christ”.Harmony with God

![Page 30: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Acts 17:22-31
Idolatry and sinful practices can create a barrier to coming to faith in Christ.
Repentance removes that barrier.
![Page 31: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Pope’s words
Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds today when he declared that everyone was redeemed
through Jesus, including atheists. During his homily at Wednesday Mass in Rome, Francis
emphasized the importance of "doing good" as a principle that unites all humanity, and a "culture of encounter“ to
support peace.Using scripture from the Gospel of Mark, Francis explained
how upset Jesus' disciples were that someone outside their group was doing good, according to a report from
Vatican Radio.
![Page 32: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Pope’s words
“They complain,” the Pope said in his homily, because they say, “If he is not one of us, he cannot do good. If he
is not of our party, he cannot do good.” And Jesus corrects them: “Do not hinder him, he says, let him do
good.” The disciples, Pope Francis explains, “were a little intolerant,” closed off by the idea of possessing the truth, convinced that “those who do not have the truth, cannot
do good.” “This was wrong . . . Jesus broadens the horizon.” Pope Francis said, “The root of this possibility of
doing good – that we all have – is in creation”
![Page 33: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Pope’s words
Pope Francis went further in his sermon to say:"The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we
are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil. All of us. ‘But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.’ Yes, he can... "The Lord has redeemed all of us,
all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the
atheists. Everyone!".. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do
good: we will meet one another there.”
![Page 34: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Pope’s words
Responding to the leader of the Roman Catholic church's homily, Father James Martin, S.J. wrote in an email to The
Huffington Post: "Pope Francis is saying, more clearly than ever before, that
Christ offered himself as a sacrifice for everyone. That's always been a Christian belief. You can find St. Paul saying in the First Letter to Timothy that Jesus gave himself as a
"ransom for all." But rarely do you hear it said by Catholics so forcefully, and with such evident joy. And in this era of
religious controversies, it's a timely reminder that God cannot be confined to our narrow categories."
![Page 35: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Pope’s words
Of course, not all Christians believe that those who don't believe will be redeemed, and the Pope's words may
spark memories of the deep divisions from the Protestant reformation over the belief in redemption through grace
versus redemption through works.
![Page 36: Seals First half 1.First 2.Second 3.Third 4.Fourth ___________________________ Second half 5. Fifth 6. Sixth (Armageddon) 7. Seventh = 8:1-19:21 Trumpets.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ca45503460f9496576b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Acts 4:8-128 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
“Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by
what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you
builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be
saved.”

Being good is not enough because no one is good enough!
People need to get right with God!
