Revelation 8:1-9: Acts of God (Part 1; Seal #7__Trumpet Judgments 1 & 2)
Weaponizing Nature, by the Finger of God!
As the moratorium barring international fighting continues, peeling open the seventh seal by the Lamb ushered in a silence in heaven that lasted .5 hours (30 minutes). It is this solemn moment, that introduces the next round of Judgments. In addition, it should be noted that, contrary to teachings of some groups that are classified as preterist or amillennialist or some such thing (in which case they deny certain commonly held aspects of the Revelation, including the separation and distinctions between the 3 groups of Judgments), verse 1 makes it clear that the Trumpet Judgments are not to be and therefore they cannot be superimposed over the Seal Judgments. Furthermore, the first Trumpet blast cannot even be sounded until the 7th Seal is broken. Thus, the Seal and the Trumpet Judgments each not only happen at different points in time in the Apocalypse narrative, they are also distinguished by the very nature of their being and the damage they are designed to inflict upon humanities living space (also, it bears repeating that this is not a point past the beginning of the last 3.5 years before the coming of Christ, as taught by Pastors Scheving, Hamrick and others. All of this will transpire well in advance of the coming and rise of the beast to global authority. In fact, the calamity and the chaos brought on by the administration of these judgments will contribute in part to the cause behind his rise to international acclaim, as well as the need for someone like him.).
As will be shown later, to further drive home the fact that the various groups of seven Judgments are not different ways of explaining the same things, verse 13 of this chapter will introduce what might rightly be called the “WOE” factors—a rapid succession of 3 independent events that drastically increase the agony and the misery to which humanity will be subjected during the Apocalypse period. Finally, while the sounding of the 7th Trumpet marks the end of the 2nd Woe, and the 3rd and final Woe takes place afterwards, all of the Bowl Judgments will occur well after this 7th Trumpet blast, with the first Bowl being poured out approximately half-way through the rise and reign of the beast—who will assume the reins of the world only 3.5 years before the return of Christ.
Following and/or during that silence, John saw seven angels standing in front of God, holding seven trumpets that will initiate each of the next round of Divinely inspired, terrifying events— each calculated to contribute, in limited doses, to the eventual complete destruction of humanity’s habitat. Then, there appeared another angel carrying a golden censer. With that censor, he came and stood before an altar (this appears to be the one under which the souls of the slain saints appeared earlier in chapter 6).
