Revelation chapter 8:7-12 – The First Four Trumpets sound in a One-Month Time Frame

Immediately AFTER the Sixth SEAL, at the Seventh and final SEAL, the TRUMPETS are GIVEN to sound (Re.8:2, 6, Re.8:7-12).

I believe that the first four trumpets’ effects upon the earth (Re.8:7-12) are the aftermath of the great earthquake that will occur at the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-14).

The Sixth SEAL’s great earthquake (Re.6:12) will move every mountain/continent (Re.6:14, Ps.104:6 below) and island out of their places. The mountains/continents and islands will be adrift.


Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Matt.24:29, Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);

Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6 below) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19 below).

Ps.104:6 Thou coveredst it (the earth) with the deep as with a garment: THE WATERS STOOD ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS (Re.6:14 above).

Isa.2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty (Re.6:16 above), when he ariseth TO SHAKE TERRIBLY THE EARTH.
