Sounding the Seven Trumpets
An overview of the series of seven trumpets and the several intervening events between the sixth and seventh trumpets – Revelation 8:7-11:19. The series of “ seven trumpets ” follows the same pattern as that of the “ seven seals .” Like the first four seals, the first four trumpets form a distinct group, and the last three are marked off from the rest as the “ three woes .” And like the “ seven seals ,” several events interrupt the series between the sixth and seventh “ trumpets ,” and both series are preceded by the “ prayers of the saints .”
