TOPICS for CHAPTER 8:

• The Seventh Seal: Trumpets given V:1-13

  When the Lamb breaks the seventh SEAL, there is silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then, the Lamb gives seven angels their own individual TRUMPET. As these angels prepare to sound the TRUMPETS, another angel throws a censor of FIRE to the earth.

  The earth reacts with

  • peals of thunder,
  • sounds and flashes of lightning, and
  • an EARTHQUAKE.

  The first trumpet: a third of the earth, trees, and grass are burned up.

  The second trumpet: a third of the sea is destroyed.

  The third trumpet: a third of the water is poisoned.

  The fourth trumpet: the sun, moon, and stars are darkened.
