What are the 7 Trumpets? – FAQ EndTimes.com

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. (Revelation 8: 2)

Revelation 1 states that the Apostle John was given visions of what was to come. The 7 Trumpets describe some of the events that will take place as the end of this age draws near. These events are intended to warn humanity that the end of this age is near and motivate people to turn back to God. Therefore, these would be major events that would have a significant impact on the world.

When John recorded what he saw, he had the task of describing things he had never before seen. These visions of the future were of a very different world than the one John knew. The technology associated with modern warfare had not yet been invented. John knew nothing of guns, tanks, helicopters, or explosives. He would have to describe what he saw based on terms that were available in his time.

It appears that most of these Trumpets have been sounded during the past 100 years. According to the Holy Bible, the trumpets began with a golden censer.

Summary of the Seven trumpets. We know that trumpets in bible time they played various roles. They stood as warning of coming destruction. Joel chapter 1 and Amos chapter 2.

Third of the tree burnt up. This points us to the time of the flood when God destroyed the earth by water. Remember that these are symbols and they are not literal.

Peter, Thank you for your comments. You brought up some interesting points about past events, however, I don’t believe that they officially fulfilled any of the end times prophecies. The end of this age began when Jesus arrived in the flesh and paid the price for our sins. Any event prior to the first coming of Jesus Christ would not be fulfilling an End Times Prophecy. Also, the great flood would have destroyed the earth with water (not fire), therefore, the third of the trees were not destroyed with fire.

The end times prophecies are designed to be fulfilled in a specific sequence. Any of the end times prophecies that appear to have been fulfilled out of sequence were mearly harbingers (warnings) to prepare people for what is coming.

For example, the World War 2 holocaust was a harbinger of the Great Tribulation. According to Matthew 24: 15-21, the Great Tribulation begins immediately after the abomination is set up, which is halfway through a 7-year treaty (Daniel 9: 27). And, the Great Tribulation (described as part of the 6th Trumpet) doesn’t begin until after the first 5 Trumpets have been sounded.

I agree that there are past events that seem to parallel end times events, but I believe that they are harbingers of what is coming.
