Seven trumpets

The seven trumpets are sounded by seven angels and the events that follow are described in detail from Revelation Chapters 8 to 11.

[2] After the Exodus, God had Moses make two silver trumpets, (Numbers 10:2), later called the chazozra.

Upon the sound of the first trumpet, hail and fire mingled with blood is thrown to Earth, burning up a third of the trees on the planet, and all green grass.

[3] With the sounding of the second trumpet, something described as "a great mountain burning with fire" plunges into the sea and turns a third of the oceans to blood.

[4] With the sounding of the third trumpet, a great star called Wormwood falls to the Earth, poisoning a third of the planet's freshwater sources, such as rivers and springs.

[5] [6] Following the sounding of the fourth trumpet, a third of the light that shines from the Sun, moon, and stars becomes dark from the celestial bodies being "struck."

They are commanded by their king, Abaddon, to torment anyone who does not have the seal of God on their forehead, by using their scorpion-like tails.

Commenting on Chapter 9, he offers two preterist views for identifying the locusts with scorpion tails.

They command a force of two-hundred million mounted troops whose horses exude plagues of fire, smoke, and brimstone from their mouths.

The trumpet is used to build anticipation and tells the reader that an alert, announcement, or warning is about to take place.

[16] Concerning the second trumpet blast, Futurist Christian apologists speculate that the "great mountain burning with fire" that plunges into the sea, in Revelation 8:8,[17] is an impact event by a possible Near-Earth object.
