The birth, death and resurrection of the Messiah and the reality of His persecuted church on earth are the continuous working out of the primal struggle that began with the fall of mankind and God's promise of a Savior. The Book of Revelation describes this struggle from the perspective of Heaven.

The seals have been opened, the trumpets have been blown, and throughout all generations, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed.

The Seven Trumpets recorded in Revelation chapters 8 and 9 remind us that for those who do not repent; those who continue to worship a god other than the One Almighty God, there is a judgement and retribution.

Chapters 8 and 9 contain some very vivid visual descriptions concerning the work and will of God. Christ's death on the cross for our salvation is so magnificent because the judgement is so real.

The 6 of the 7 seals have been opened. But before we can look at the 7th Seal or the Trumpets, we must understand the great importance of chapter 7. Let's take a look!

The Book of Revelation is often seen as mysterious, terrifying and even mystical. Ironically, God is telling His church, "This is the reality of what is happening in heaven and on earth. "

In the next two chapters, we get a glimpse of God's throne and the heavenly court. We will be reminded that in the midst of trials and tribulations, Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
