Title: The Trumpet Judgments (11)
Series: The Book of Revelation
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Revelation 8-9
- Today we pick back up in Revelation. - We have said Revelation is 3 types of literature ... a letter, apocalyptic, and prophecy or as some prefer ... apocalyptic prophecy.
- I've mentioned I think Revelation is not merely telling us about the world as it is ... but about the future. - The world as we know it will come to a close.
- Today we look at the TRUMPET JUDGMENTS. - In Revelation you have the SEALS, the TRUMPETS, and the BOWLS. - Some believe this is cyclic, or a recapitulation of the same events from different perspectives. One scholar described it more as a downward spiral.

- It's a reminder ... Jesus Christ is our only hope and that the things of this world are passing.

the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God
from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the
altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumbling ...
