Sequence of Revelation Seals Trumpets and Bowl Plagues

Sequence of Revelation

 

The seventh trumpet and seventh bowl plague are not congruent or simultaneous.

All seals, trumpets and bowl plagues are consecutive and in order.

All seven seals must be opened before the first trumpet can sound.

All seven trumpets must sound before the first bowl plague can be poured out upon the earth.

 

The first and second woes are congruent with the fifth and sixth trumpets.

At the seventh trump the mystery of God is finished in that he now rules over the earth and the dead are judged at the first judgment.

 

The third woe begins with the seventh trump and concludes at the finish of the seventh bowl plague.

 

Those who are alive and remain of Jerusalem are not changed and rewarded until after the seven bowl plagues and third woe are completed.

 

After the seventh bowl plague the wrath of God is complete.

 

The Seven bowl plagues occur after the first judgment of the dead who are rewarded to be priests and kings and being changed to a spiritual body, making them as the angels of heaven. More information about the seven angels is forthcoming in the document which I have titled Mystery of the seven stars in Jesus hand.

All 7 Seals must first be opened before the 7 trumpet judgments can begin. There are false or mistaken teachers who say that the seals, trumpets and bowl plagues are all simultaneous with each other.

Seven trumpets must sound before the seven bowl plagues can begin. The third woe begins with the sounding of the seventh trumpet and concludes with the pouring out of the seventh bowl plague.

5^th 6^th and 7^th trumpet judgments are simultaneous with the three woes.
 

In them the wrath of God is complete upon the earth.

Proof of these statements lie below:

7^th Seal 

Revelation 8:1.  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.
 
4^th Trumpet  

Revelation 8:12.  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; and a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. 13.  And I looked, and I heard an angel 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!''

The three woes coincide with the fifth, sixth and seventh trumpets.

Revelation 8:13…"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!''

5^th Trumpet 1st Woe  

Revelation 9:1.  Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. And to him was given the key to the bottomless pit.

Revelation 9:3.  Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Revelation 9:11.  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.

6^th Trumpet 2^nd Woe  

Revelation 9:13.  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.''

Revelation 11:3.  "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.''

Revelation 11:11.  Now after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12.  And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here.'' And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.  13.  In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand men were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.  14.  The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

7^th Trumpet  3^rd Woe Simultaneous and Congruent

Revelation 10:7.  but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

Revelation 11:14.  The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.  15.  Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms 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, 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.''

God’s children are judged and rewarded as they enter into the temple.

Revelation 11:19.  Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

Revelation 15:1.  Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.  2.  And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.  3.  And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!  4.  Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested.''

Seven priests and kings described as angels, a word which also means messengers are seen coming out of the open temple.

Revelation 15: 5.  After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.  6.  And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.  7.  Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.  8.  The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

Revelation 1:5.  and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,  6.  and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Strong's Greek Ref. # 32  Romanized  aggelos   Pronounced ang'-el-os   from aggello [probably derived from GSN0071; compare GSN0034] (to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an "angel"; by implication, a pastor: KJV--angel, messenger.

Strong's Hebrew Ref. # 4397  Romanized  mal'ak   Pronounced mal-awk'    from an unused root meaning to despatch as a deputy; a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher): KJV--ambassador, angel, king, messenger.

Revelation 17:1.  Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,  2.  "with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.''

Revelation 19:10.  And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.''

This changed angel is a fellow servant, brother and witness of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:9.  Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.''

This angel is a servant, prophet, brother and guardian of the Word of God.

Revelation 22:8.  Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.  9.  Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.''

Revelation 16:12.  Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.  13.  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14.  For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15.  "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.''  16.  And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. 

The remnant of Jerusalem live and escape from the beast and all the judgments upon the earth and enter into the temple after the wrath of God is complete.

1 Thessalonians 4:15.  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.  16.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  17.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Isaiah 37:31.  And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.  32.  For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Ezekiel 14:22.  "Yet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be brought out, both sons and daughters; surely they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, indeed all that I have brought upon it.

Joel 2:31.  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord.  32.  And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.

Revelation 16:17.  Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!'' 18.  And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
