The 7 Trumpets (7 of 16)
Series: Revelation
Zach Terry
Revelation 8:1–9:21

CONTEXT: This is our seventh week in our study of the Revelation. Remember we are looking at the book from this perspective:

Following the removal of the Church, we are saying that Ethnic Israel comes to faith in the midst of the tribulation. Then they are sealed so that the Judgement will not harm them.

• So the Church is Protected FROM Tribulation.
• Redeemed Israel is Protected THROUGH Tribulation.

CONTEXT: We have seen a few weeks ago, God the Father with a scroll in his hand that was sealed with 7 seals. No one was found who could approach the Ancient of Days and take the scroll and open the seals. John wept. The elder said, weep no more - behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
