7 Trumpets – 7 Years
There are seven years of the Great Tribulation, Daniel
9:20-27.
There are seven trumpets of judgment on the earth during the
Great Tribulation, Revelation 8-9, 11.
Does each Trumpet last one year? No! Trumpet 5 only lasts 5
months and Trumpet 7 only lasts 1 day! If the Trumpets start with the rise of
the anti-christ and last for seven years that would be one every fourteen
months (84 months = 7 years divided by 6 Trumpets, the seventh {last}Trumpet
is on the last day and only lasts 24 hours.) If the Trumpets are during the
last three and one half years that is one every seven months (42 months
divided by 6 Trumpets). I believe the Trumpets will start at the half way point
of the Great Tribulation; like everyone else I am basing my time table on my
studies because GOD did not tell us.
8:1-2 “When He opened the seventh Seal, there was silence in
Heaven for about half an hour; and I saw the seven angels who stood before GOD,
and to them were given seven Trumpets. (The first 5 Seals have been opened and
have been for centuries. The sixth Seal is a worldwide event and has not
happened yet; the Sixth seal matches the seventh Trumpet and may be simultaneous
events, or the sixth Seal could be the halfway point of the Great Tribulation
and the beginning of the seven Trumpets. We just do not know.)
:3-5 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and
stood at the Altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer with the
prayers of the Saints upon the Golden Altar ,which was before the throne, the
smoke of the incense with the prayers of the Saints, ascended before GOD from
the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from The
Altar, and threw it to the earth; and there were noises, thunderings,
lightnings, and an earthquake.
:6 So the seven angels who had the seven Trumpets prepared
themselves to sound.
: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. (These fires could burn for
months, even for a whole year.)
:8-9 Then the second angel sounded: and 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 living creatures in the sea died, and a
third of the ships were destroyed. (This would be like an asteroid or meteor,
and its effect could last a year or longer.)
:10-11 Then the third angel sounded: and a great star fell
from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on
the springs of water. The name of the star is wormwood. A third of the waters
became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
(This could be fragments of the asteroid or meteor.)
:12 Then the fourth angel sounded: 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
were darkened; a third of the day did not shine (had no light), and likewise
the night. (This could be from something striking the sun; most likely it is
from the smoke from all the trees and grass burning blocking out the sun.)
:13 And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the
midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, ‘Woe, Woe, Woe to the inhabitants of
the earth, because the remaining blasts of the Trumpet of the three angels who
are about to sound!’
9:1-11 Then the fifth angel sounded: and I saw a star fallen
from heaven to the earth; to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And
he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like smoke of a
great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the
pit. (This star is a living being made by GOD, an angel. Now the sun shines
even less on the earth, the darkness grows.) Then out of the smoke locusts came
upon the earth, and to them was given the power, as the scorpions of the earth
have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any
green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of GOD on
their foreheads (The Holy SPIRIT); and they were not given authority to kill
them, but to torment them for five months; their torment was like the torment
of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death and will
not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. The shape
of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; on their heads were crowns
of something like gold, and their faces were like faces of men, they had hair
like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions teeth. They had breastplates
of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many
horses running into battle; they had tails like scorpions, and there were
stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months; and they had as
king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon
(Destruction), but in Greek he has the name Apollyon (Destroyer). (Some have
tried to describe these locusts as modern combat helicopters; I believe they
are organic beings just as described, created by GOD.)
:12 One Woe is past. Behold, still two more Woes are coming
after these things. (Trumpets 6 and 7 are the last two Woes.)
:13-19 Then the sixth angel sounded: and I heard a voice from
the four horns of the Golden Altar, which is before GOD, saying to the sixth
angel who had the Trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great
river Euphrates.’ So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and
day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. (As JESUS the
timing is GOD’s, and only He knows what it is. His Will is being done!) Now the
number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number
of them. This is how I saw the horses in the Vision: those who sat on them had
breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of
the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire,
smoke, and brimstone (sulfur). By these three plagues a third of mankind was
killed – by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their
mouths. For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails
are like serpents having heads, and with them they do harm. (Some draw them as
many serpents, like Methuselah, but I believe each horse’s tail is one
serpent.)
:20-21 But the rest of mankind that were not killed by these
plaques, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not
worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone and wood, which neither
see nor hear nor walk. They did not repent of their murders or of their
sorceries (drugs) or their sexual immoralities or their thefts.
11:1-12 is the second Woe, the two Witnesses of GOD who
prophesy, cause droughts, turn water into blood and cause all plaques as they
desire for the three and one half years of their prophesying. (Many believe
they spend the whole time in Jerusalem, but they may travel throughout the
nations and arrive in Jerusalem in time for their battle with the beast
(anti-christ). The beast kills them and they lay in the street in Jerusalem for
three and one half days; then they are raised to life for everyone to see and
GOD calls them up to Heaven.
:13-14 In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a
tenth of the city fell; in the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and
the rest were afraid and gave Glory to the GOD of Heaven. The second Woe is
past, the third Woe is coming quickly.
:15-18 Then the seventh angel sounded: there were loud voices
in Heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of the world have become The Kingdom of our
LORD and of His CHIRST, and He shall Reign forever and ever!’ The twenty-four
elders who sit before GOD on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped
GOD, saying: ‘We give You thanks, LORD GOD Almighty, The One Who Is and Who Is
to come. Because You have taken Your Great Power and Reigned. The nations were
angry, and Your Wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged,
and that You should Reward Your Servants the Prophets and the Saints, and those
who fear Your Name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the
earth.’
:19 Then The temple of GOD was open in Heaven, and the ark of
His Covenant was seen in His Temple. There were lightnings, noises,
thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.”
Study 14:1-20:6 to see the rest of the events that happen
with the seventh Trumpet. What a very busy and full 24 hours that will be. Some
believe it will take a year to complete, but I believe as described here it is
one 24 hour day, culminating with the battle of Armageddon and CHRIST’s Asencion
to His Throne in Jerusalem. Amen! Come LORD JESUS!
