The disaster of Trumpets

Revelation 8:6-9:11

The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

The trumpets which signal God's judgments parallel the seven seals but the judgments are intensified. The trumpets sound a note of warning. The judgments, though severe, are not total. They are intended to bring people to their senses. In the symbolic picture- language John describes four calamities affecting the natural world- earth, sea, water, and the heavens. The 'woes' of the long eagle imply that there is worse to come, The remaining judgments directly affect humanity.

Domonic forces are next unleashed. But God sets them a time limit. Though human beings are their target they have no power to touch those who belong to God.

Why?

These are the warning to all people in the world. Those who have no seal on their head will suffer the pain, and they long to die, but death will elude them.

Woes of the disaster on the day of judgment.

第一號可能是流星雨，第二號筒可能是全球火山爆發，第三號筒殞石墮落於江河，含著有賴有毒物質。第四號筒，可能天文上的異象。太陽光少1/3。
大鷹喊  禍哉、禍哉、禍哉

第五號星可能是邪靈拿鑰匙，開無底坑門讓蝗蟲出來。這不是普通蝗蟲。不知道是什麼?這些都是神同意的。煙把光遮住，神就是光，也就是叫人不見光，不見神的作為。螳蟲只能傷害人五個月。神有降災的權柄，也有收回災難的權柄。

這是神在警告人，趕快悔改！
