THE FIRST TRUMPET
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. (Rev 8:7)
God is warning the church of the last days (first angel sounded) that He will cut off (hail) the people and invalidate (fire) the works of any church operating outside the jurisdiction (blood) of the Kingdom of Christ. All who fall under satan’s jurisdiction (the third part), for they are his planting (trees) not the Lord’s, will be tested (burnt up) in the tribulation to come, including all who, individually, operate in the flesh (green grass) without the Spirit.
And when the King came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And He saith unto him, friend, how camest thou in here not having a wedding garment? And the man was speechless. Then said the King to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 22:11-13)
For no other foundation can man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test every man's work to reveal what sort it is. (1Co 3:11-13)
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth... (Rev 12:4)
THE SECOND TRUMPET
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. (Rev 8:8-9)
God is warning (second angel sounded) that He will send the curse of the law of Mt. Sinai (mountain burning with fire) upon every nation (sea) that puts itself under satan’s jurisdiction (the third part). All who serve the law in religious legalism will be declared cut off from the Kingdom (blood) including many who are truly saved (had life) along with countless ministries and missions to the nations of the world (ships).
For you are not come to the mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, (Heb 12:18)
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Gal 3:10)
THE THIRD TRUMPET
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. (Rev 8:10-11)
God is warning (third angel sounded) that the principle doctrines of the church (rivers and fountains) have been corrupted (made bitter) by satan to lead many (the third part) to deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of Christ on earth. These doctrines will be a slow acting poison (wormwood) within the church resulting in cutting off from the Kingdom (many men died) all who receive them into their hearts and minds.
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you be ignorant. (1Co 12:1)
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears. (2Ti 4:3)
THE FOURTH TRUMPET
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. (Rev 8:12)
God is warning (fourth angel sounded) the many under satan’s influence (the third part) that the witness of the Spirit (sun), the church (moon), and individual believers (stars), is being diminished by satan through his Spirit-denying doctrines, rendering the church powerless and ineffective (darkened) as a testimony to the world.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2Ti 3:5)
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. (1Co 4:20)
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? (Gal 3:3)
THE FIFTH TRUMPET
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. (Rev 9:1-6)
God is warning (fifth angel sounded) of a coming great lie (locusts) that will create extreme double-mindedness (torment) in the church causing many to fall away from the faith. This lie will originate from fallen angels who were imprisoned for millennia for having cohabitated with human women (from the bottomless pit) to create a demon/human hybrid (scorpions of the earth). These creatures will deceive many into denying the Lord (sun and the air were darkened). Some will try to cut themselves off from the lie (desire to die) but the deception will be too strong to completely reject it (death will flee from them) creating a double-mindedness (torment of a scorpion) that will shut them out from the security and blessings of the Kingdom.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Mat 24:24)
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2Th 2:4)
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2Th 2:10)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who cleverly shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their deceiving ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be spoken of as evil. And through covetousness shall they with false words make merchandise of you: their judgment now of a long time delays not, and their damnation sleeps not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment… (2Pe 2:1-4)
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (Jud 1:6)
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (Mat 24:15)
Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
THE SIXTH TRUMPET
(Please read Revelation 9:13 - 11:13)
God is warning (sixth angel sounded) that the apostates (third part of men) who fall under the spell of the great lie will themselves become agents (horses) of its dissemination (their mouths issued fire, smoke, and brimstone). The book of Revelation (little scroll) will be widely taught (sweet in the mouth) and understood (bitter in the belly). The church will be divided (measuring reed) between those who walk in Kingdom blessings (worshippers in the temple) and those outside the Kingdom (outer court) which will be given over to the jurisdiction of satan (beast that arises from the bottomless pit) until the Lord returns (forty-two months). The Kingdom (two witnesses) will continue to warn (fire proceeds from their mouths) the church of the lie they have given themselves over to, until satan finally succeeds in silencing them (beast will make war and kill them) with the overwhelming power of the lie. That’s when the Lord will come for His Kingdom Bride (they ascended unto Heaven and their enemies beheld them), and the wrath of God (earthquake) will commence upon those still on the earth.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1Ti 4:1)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who cleverly shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them bringing upon themselves swift destruction. (2Pe 2:1)
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (Mat 25:32)
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. (Dan 8:24)
…and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (Dan 12:7)
THE SEVENTH TRUMPET
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever… And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. (Rev 11:15,18)
God is warning (seventh angel sounded) that once the Kingdom Bride (great voices in Heaven) has been taken out (the Kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of our Lord), there will no longer be a place of refuge on earth from the vengeance of satan (and the nations were angry) or the justice of God (thy wrath is come).
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (1Co 15:51-54)
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. (Mat 25:1-12 )
