Contained in the 7th Seal, are seven angels
with seven trumpets, each trumpets is sounded in order. The sounding of each trumpet brings forth plagues to
help the saints, and punish the followers of the Beast.
When the 7th Seal is opened, the Most High will hear the prayers
of the elect; see Deuteronomy 32:36
and
Joel 2:31-32. The elect will be delivered in the
sounding of the 7th Trumpet.
The 144,000/Servants of God/Saints of the Most High will be SEALED, before the
first angel begins to
sound his Trumpet; see Revelation 7:1-3.

Prelude to the Seven Trumpets
Revelation 8:1: “And when he” [Christ]
“had
opened the seventh seal,” [Christ opened the seventh seal of the
book that he received from the Most High, see Revelation 5:5-7]
“there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”
Revelation 8:2: “And I” [John] “saw the seven angels which stood
before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.” John is
being shown the prophecies that will take place during the
opening of the seventh seal.
Revelation 8:3: “And another angel came and stood at the altar,
having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much
incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of ALL SAINTS”
[The 144,000/Servants of God] “upon the golden altar” [The altar before God, see
Revelation 9:13] “which was before the throne.” God’s throne in
heaven.
Revelation 8:4: “And the smoke of the incense, which came with
the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the
angel's hand.” The prayers of the saints are brought before the
Most High.
Revelation 8:5: “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.” After receiving the prayers of all the saints, the
angel cast the censer fill with fire into the earth. It caused
voices, thunders, lightings, an earthquake, and the seven
trumpets to be sound.
Revelation 8:6: “And the seven angels which had
the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.”
The First Trumpet
Revelation 8:7: “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.”
The Second Trumpet
Revelation 8:8: “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;”
Revelation 8:9: “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.”
The Third Trumpet
Revelation 8:10:
“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;”
Revelation 8:11: “And the name of the star is
called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became
wormwood; and many men died of" [Or from drinking] "the waters, because they were
made bitter.”
The Fourth Trumpet
Revelation 8:12:
“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"
[The sun, moon and stars]
"was darkened, and the
day shone not"
[No sun light]
"for a third part of it, and the night likewise.”
No light from the moon or stars.
Revelation 8:13: “And I" [John] "beheld, and heard an
angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud
voice, Woe, woe, woe,” [The three woes refer to the remaining
three trumpets, which have yet to sound. These woes/trumpets
added to the previous four trumpets, equal seven.] “to the
inhibiters of the earth” [Those who received the mark of the
Beast.] “by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the
three angels, which are yet to sound!”
The first four trumpets/plagues in Revelation chapter 8, verses 7 to 12 will occur in rapid succession. The scriptures separate and identify the last three trumpets/plagues, as they will not occur in like fashion. This shall be proven with the breakdown below.
The Fifth Trumpet
Revelation 9:1: “And the fifth angel
sounded,” [The first Woe] “and I saw a star fall from
heaven unto the earth: and to him” [The fifth angel]
“was given the key of the bottomless pit.”
Revelation 9:2: “And he” [The fifth angel]
“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.”
Revelation 9:3: “And there came out of the smoke locusts upon
the earth: and unto them" [The locusts] "was given power, as the scorpions of
the earth have power.”
Revelation 9:4: “And it was commanded them"
[The locusts] "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.” The followers and worshippers of the Beast
will be hurt!
Revelation 9:5: “And to them” [The locusts]
“it was given that
they” [The locusts] “should not kill them,” [The followers of
the Beast] “but that they,” [The followers of the Beast]
“should
be tormented FIVE months: and their torment was as the torment
of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.”
Revelation 9:6: “And in those days shall men seek death,” [The
followers of the Beast] “and shall not find it; and shall desire
to die, and death shall flee from them.” The Most High will
torment the followers of the Beast, and will not allow them to
die.
Revelation 9:7: “And the shapes of the locusts were like unto
horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were
crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.”
Revelation 9:8: “And they" [The
lucusts] "had hair as the hair of women, and
their teeth were as the teeth of lions.”
Revelation 9:9: “And they" [The
locusts] "had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the
sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.”
Revelation 9:10: “And they" [The
locusts] "had tails like unto scorpions, and
there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt
men” [the followers of the Beast] “five months.”
Revelation 9:11: “And they” [The locusts]
“had a king over them,
which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name
Apollyon.”
Revelation 9:12: “One woe” [The fifth trumpet
and plague] “is past; and, behold, there come two woes” [The
sixth and seventh trumpet] “more” [Greater] “hereafter.” The
sixth and the seventh trumpet/plagues will contain greater
plagues for the followers of the Beast, and will not take place
until a designated time.
The Sixth Trumpet

Revelation 9:13: “And the sixth angel sounded,” [The sixth trumpet, which is the second woe, see Revelation 11:12-13.] “and I" [John] "heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,”
The four angels will be given power to slay the third part of men (1/3 of mankind). This task will be completed by and army consisting of two hundred million horsemen/riders sitting on what John described as horses, having heads like lions and mouths which are able to discharge fire, smoke and brimstones. Additionally, they have power in their tails, their tails are used to inflict pain and cause injuries to mankind.
Revelation 9:14: “Saying to the sixth angel
which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in
the great river Euphrates.”
Revelation 9:15: “And the four angels were
loosed,” [From the great river Euphrates] “which were prepared
for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the
third part of men.” The followers of the Beast! The four angles
loosed from the great river Euphrates, were appointed to kill
the third part of men, in ONE HOUR [See
Revelation 16:18-21 and
Revelation 11:12-13] on a predetermine day, month, and year.
Revelation 9:16: “And the number of the army
of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:” [Two
hundred million riders] “and I" [John] "heard"
[Was told] "the number of them.”
Revelation 9:17: “And thus I" [John]
"saw the horses in the vision, and
them that sat on them,” [The riders] “having breastplates of
fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses
were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued
fire
and smoke and brimstone.”
Revelation 9:18: “By these three” [The fire, smoke and
brimstone] “was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and
by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their"
[The horses] "mouths.”
Revelation 9:19: “For their” [The horses]
“power is in their
mouth,” [The fire, smoke and brimstone] “and in their tails: for
their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads,” [Their
tails look similar to a snake] “and with them” [Their tails] “they do hurt.”
Revelation 9:20: “And the rest of the men which were not killed
by these plagues” [The riders and horses, which issued fire,
smoke and brimstone out of their mouths] “yet repented not of
the works of their hands,” [They continue to follow the
teachings of the Beast, and his false prophet by worshipping the
image of the Beast, see Revelation 13:12-15]
“that they” [The
followers of the Beast, which received his mark, and worship his
image] “should not worship devils,” [Satan, the Beast, and the
false prophet, see Revelation 13:3-5] “and idols of gold, and
silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can
see, nor hear, nor walk:” The image of the Beast, see
Revelation
13:15-16.
Revelation 9:21: “Neither repented they” [Those
having the mark of the Beast, and the worshippers of his image]
“of their murders,” [Killing the follower of Christ – the
144,000/Servants of God/Saints of the Most High, see Revelation 6:9-11] “nor of their sorceries,” [See
Revelation 17:12-13]
“nor of their fornication,” [By following
the teachings of the Beast] “nor of their thefts.”
