Chapter 8. The 7 Trumpets

Image
“And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.” Joshua 6:4 Trumpets were sounded to warn citizens outside the city walls of an impending enemy attack; or to rally the people for battle; or sound an attack against an enemy; or call for a celebration. For those reasons, whenever God sounds a trumpet it is not to do us harm, but to do us good! The converse is that Israel’s trumpets sound a fearful warning to their enemies. The visions of the trumpets are spread across four Chapters; 8,9,10 and 11. 8:1 The angels are ready to sound the trumpets. The seventh trump is blown at the time of Jesus’ return, as was the sixth seal. Accordingly, that means the first of the trumpets must be sounded near the same time as the opening of the first seal. That piece of information confirms that the sets of visions are concurrent!    8:3  The praye...

Introduction

It is extremely important to read this Introduction before beginning the study! The book has 22 chapters but this study will be concerned solely with interpretations of the verses starting in Chapter 4. The visions are seven seals on a scroll, seven trumpets to be sounded and seven bowls containing God's wrath. The visions are opened each time the Lord releases a seal, or an angel sounds a trumpet or another angel pours out God's wrath from a golden bowl. A major difference between the images of the seal visions and the other two sets of visions is the Lord Jesus is the only person authorised to open the seals, whereas the trumpets and bowls are activated by angels.    I have done this study because end-time preaching in Australia is almost non-existent. Most Australian preachers steer away from it because of concerns it causes division in the church. However, a third of biblical text is prophecy. That's a lot of scripture to ignore!

90 Seconds to Midnight Making Revelation Easier to Understand

Image
Welcome to my blog, which I have created that I may be able to freely share my interpretations of the visions from the Book of Revelation with people like you.  I’ve just finished writing my book 90 Seconds to Midnight. It’s available as a free download—just email me at  90sectomidnight@gmail.com  f or the link. However, for ease of use, you may prefer to read the various chapters which I will upload on this blog-site in their order of ‘popularity’. Meaning? Most Christians find a lot of Revelation confusing and so they prefer to just read the ‘popular bits’ such as: the Two Witnesses, or what does the Beast from the Sea represent, or who will be Anti-Christ etc. The uploads will be spread over the next few months. From the time I started studying the prophecies of Revelation, I found it difficult to agree with many of the explanations that modern theologians offered regarding those puzzling, prophetic visions. I received some powerful revelations from the Holy Spirit ar...
