    Revelation Chapter's 8 & 9 comprise a section of the Bible that readers have little scope of. The first 4 trumpets in Chapter 8, were wars fought throughout modern history. They are briefly brushed over because the last 3 trumpets, 5, 6 & 7, in Chapter 9, count as cataclysmic. Trumpets keep time.

    Jon, trumpets don't keep time, they are the voice of God.

    Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great VOICE, as of a TRUMPET.

    Revelation 4:1 .... an the first VOICE I heard was as if it were a TRUMPET talking with me ....

    Right, I misspoke. Trumpets keep track of time. Trumpets are war, like in Revelation 9. You can gage from events and know where you are on a time-line according to each trumpet. Likewise, when the beast attacks Babylon, you can safely say it's the start of the sixth trumpet.

    Another subject that needs to be explored is what happens in Revelation 21,22, between the seventh trumpet and post second resurrection? It make little sense to me (as written) the keys are left out, hopefully others can express their inner feelings on these 2 chapters.
