The sounding of the first four Trumpet Judgments

The second cycle of judgement is revealed to John by seven angels holding seven trumpets. The first four trumpets form a unique group in that they impact the physical creation. These seven trumpets are not a separate judgement but are a different aspect of the one judgement that will be poured out upon the earth and man. The sound of the trumpets have been heard since the fall of man heralding calamity and disaster, however, one day the final 'trump' will sound indicating the gathering of the Church and the destruction of the kingdom of Satan.
