The Mystery of the Seven Trumpets (Pt. 1b)

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. (Rev 8:2)

As stated in the previous post, these seven trumpets are not sent to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom. That time will have passed with the sixth church age. The seven trumpet blasts are intended as warnings to the last days apostate church, that she must repent of her ways or be consumed by them.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (Rev 8:5)

The angel takes fire from the golden altar of incense (prayers of the Kingdom saints), hurls it to the earth and we hear “voices” (prophets of God); “thunderings” (judgments of God); “lightnings” (power of God); and an “earthquake” (transference of power to God’s Kingdom) all signifying what the trumpets of God will sound like to those who have ears to hear them.

We will know the seven trumpets are sounding when we hear Kingdom prophets (voices) calling the churches to repentance; apostolic warnings of coming judgment on the church (thunderings); unprecedented displays of Holy Ghost power (lightnings); and a major transfer of power and resources from the world into the Kingdom (earthquake).

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. (Rev 8:6)

Preparation is key. As citizens of the Kingdom we must understand the King’s warning to each of the seven churches still operating outside His walls, and be ready, willing and able to sound the alarm when and where He directs.

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; (Joe 2:1)
