SERMON NOTES--Revelation 8-9
THE 7 TRUMPETS
The Book of Revelation, part 4
October 1, 2006
Pastor Charlie

“When He opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven.”

THE ALTAR OF PRAYER (8:2-5) Luke 1:19; Psalm 141:2; Revelation 5:8-9

Types of “Tribulation”:
* The trials of everyday life;
* The Great Tribulation;
* The Day of the Lord.


THE SEVEN TRUMPETS (8:6-9:19)

Trumpet #1: destruction of a third of the earth’s vegetation (8:6-7) Exodus 9:23-26
Trumpet #2: destruction of a third of the sea (8:8-9) Exodus 7:20-21
Trumpet #3: destruction of the fresh water (8:10-11) Exodus 15:23-25
Trumpet #4: a third of the heavenly lights are turned off (8:12). Luke 21:25-26

Understanding Prophetic Studies
* Prophetic Revelation – God clearly revealing WHAT is going to happen
* Prophetic Interpretation – ideas on HOW the revelation may happen
* Prophetic Speculation – guessing the what or how of unclear revelations.

Trumpet #5: mankind is tortured (9:1-11). Exodus 10:12; Ephesians 6:12


Key Purposes of the Great Tribulation:
* To unmask Satan;
* To judge sin;
* To invite salvation. John 3:36

Trumpet #6: destruction of a third of the human race (9:13-19)

Who are these 200 million troops?


PEOPLE’S RESPONSES: (9:20-21)
* Rebelliously unrepentant;
* Religiously idolatrous;
* Morally decadent.

Trumpet #7: opens the 7 bowls of God’s wrath
