The trumpets
Light and darkness cannot dwell together. Light expels the darkness, and before the spiritual event comes the natural. The trumpets burn a third of the earth, a third of the trees, a third of the sea turns to blood, a third of the rivers and springs of water are made bitter, a third of the sun, moon, and stars are struck so that a third of them would be darkened, creatures from the abyss are released, with a third of mankind being killed, and no more grass. After a short transition, we see the devil thrown out of heaven, taking a third of the angels with him. I believe all the thirds that are lost “belonged” to those angels who rebelled, and when they become separated from God, their inheritance withers away.
Day one (Light) trumpet one – Water in the form of hail, and fire mixed with blood.
7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. (1 John 5:7-8)
32 He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land. (Psalm 105:32)
7 The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. (Revelation 8:7)
Day two (water) trumpet two – the sea
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, (Revelation 8:8)
Day three (land) trumpet three – rivers and springs of water (on land)
10 The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. (Revelation 8:10)
Day four (lights) trumpet four – sun, moon, and stars
12 The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. (Revelation 8:12)
Day five (life in waters) trumpet five – winged creatures (v9)
1Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. (Revelation 9:1)
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle. (Revelation 9:9)
Day six (life on land) trumpet six – Two hundred million army ride on creatures that are a combination of three types of land animals, a horse, a lion, and a serpent.
17 And this is how I saw in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. (Revelation 9:17)
