In this lesson, we begin our look at the sixth trumpet judgment (the second of the three "Woe" judgments); when it is sounded, the evil army from the East that is mustered by four powerful, unleashed demonic forces will slay one-third of earth's population at that time (9:13-21). 

When we then come to chapter 10, the longest parenthetical break in the book, it begins with a Mighty Angel coming from Heaven to earth to not only declare something, but to direct John to do something, and it is from what he is told to do we get our title, "The Bitter and the Sweet".  We have a great discussion on the identity of the Mighty Angel.

Learn a lot more about fallen angels, like those currently bound in the Euphrates River!  Learn just how deep the depravity of the human heart and the stubbornness of the human will can be, for it will be fully revealed in the Great Tribulation!
