TOPICS for CHAPTER 8a:

• The Seventh Seal Broken and First Four Trumpets given V:1-5

  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.
