How many trumpet's?

In revelation, how many trumpets are blown and what do they signify, also if there are 7 trumpets, but yet when the last trumpet is blown doesn't that one represents the RAPTURE, and if so what about the first 6 trumpet's what do they represent?

How many trumpet's?
This is a GREAT question!





The second trumpet that signals the Rapture refers to a different part of the Bible altogether; it has nothing to do with the trumpet judgments, but goes all the way back to Numbers 10 in the OT.





There, you will see that God ordained that Moses oversee the making of two trumpets for the calling in of the "congregation," and the "movement of the camps."





When only the one/ first trumpet was blown, they were to gather towards Moses (i.e, the law.)





But when the last/ second trumpet was ALSO sounded (both at once) they were to gather to the "...door of the tabernacle of meeting" (i.e., the place of God's presence - His grace - among His people.)





And what/ where is this "tabernacle of meeting" today? It is Christ our Lord Himself!





Hebrews 9:11 "But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation." (How can a tabernacle be "not made with hands?" It is like when Jesus is prophesied in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2:34 as the "stone not cut by hands." Jesus, the uncreated one - God incarnate! Our holy tabernacle/ house!)





Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God."
Reply:The Book of Revelation is a disgraceful stupid book---shame on the committee of Roman Catholic Bishops who narrowly voted it into Canon Law in 325 AD!!!!

It will explain each scripture in Revelations and what they mean. It's free no charge or catches or obligations and it's new. I give them to very serious Avatar members.

Reply:From memory 76 trombones led the big parade with 110 cornets close behind followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuos.
Reply:There are other happenings and scripture between the 6th and 7th trumpets but I figured I would just cover the seven trumpets.





Revelation 8 (New King James Version)





Revelation 8


Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets


1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.


6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.


First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck





7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth.[a] And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.


Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck





8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.


Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck





10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.


Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck





12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.


13 And I looked, and I heard an angel[b] flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”





Revelation 9


Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit


1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.


7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.


12 One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.


Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates





13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For their power[a] is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.


20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries[b] or their sexual immorality or their thefts.





Revelation 11





Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed





15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms[f] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:








“ We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,


The One who is and who was and who is to come,[g]


Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.


18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,


And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,


And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,


And those who fear Your name, small and great,


And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”





19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant[h] was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
