Isaiah 43:1–24, God‘s great love for his people, and his desire, that they be his witnesses, his contrasted to the lack of love, his people show to him. Revelation 9:13–10:11, the sixth trumpet unleashes the four angels holding back worldwide catastrophe we met in revelation seven, and then an interlude between the sixth and the seventh trumpet. The end is near, but the bittersweet word of God must be preached first.
