Pastors Notes:

The Seven Trumpets


TEXT

REV 8-11(NKJV)


Good evening, everybody!
I pray you’ve enjoyed your holiday break (if you were able to get one). Tonight, we are going to look at some major events that happen during the Tribulation period.
As in weeks past, we’ve looked at the opening of the seven sealed book, tonight, we will look at the blasts of the seven trumpets.
Depending on how much time allows, we will do our best to get through all of these. If not, we will finish them in the next week.
Below is a summarized reference point for the seven trumpets:
APPLICATION
1. The First Trumpet (Rev 8:6-7) - Hail, fire, and blood
- This is something coming from the heavens.
2. The Second Trumpet (Rev. 8:8-9) - A great burning mountain
- The mountain could be a volcanic eruption
- The results cause the water to become acidic
- For the ships and sea creatures to be destroyed
- Jesus said in Luke 21:26 “the sea and waves roaring...”








3. The Third Trumpet (Rev. 8:10-11) - A star fell from heaven
- The Greek word is aster, where we get the word asteroid.
- The rivers and streams were bitter.
- Luke 21:26 and Mark 13:25 predict stars would fall during the tribulation period.
4. The Fourth Trumpet (Rev. 8:12)- A third of the sun, moon, and stars are darkened
-Joel said it. Joel 2:21- Isaiah said it. Isaiah 13:10
*This could happen through various nuclear and chemical explosions.
5. The Fifth Trumpet (Rev. 9:1-12) - A star falls from heaven to earth and opens the abyss.
- It’s the beginning of three “woes”.
- The word for star in this particular passage is “angel”, for one a spiritual being would have a key to the abyss.
- What is the abyss? The abyss is one of the many underground compartments beneath the earth. It means limitless or immeasurable.
- Smoke comes up.
- There are demons bound there since creation.
- Locust like demons are released. They are not normal.
- They cannot harm trees, grass, plants, green things, or those sealed with the seal of God
- Heads like crowns of gold.








- Hair like a womans.
- Teeth like a lion.
- Breastplates like iron.
- Noise like a chariot.
- Tail like a scorpion.
- Their king is Abaddon.
6. The Sixth Trumpet (Rev. 9:13-21) - Four angels loosed from the Euphrates
- They are bound.
- They have a ministry of death.
- They kill 1/3 of all living people.
- Their method was fire and brimstone which came from their mouths.
- Men still would not repent.
7. The Gap (Rev. 10:1-11)
- We see the angel with the little book. - Many believe it to be Christ.- The book is eaten.
8. The Seventh Seal (Rev. 11:15-19) - The announcement
- There is an announcement of the coming kingdom!
- The time of the Judgement seat of Christ is here (Rev. 11:18) - We see the witnesses killed. and resurrected.
