Judgment!

Introducing Revelation 8-9

• In Revelation 6:1-8:1 we have the seven seals
• In Revelation 8:7-11:18 we have seven trumpets
• In Revelation 15:5-16:21 we have seven bowls

We Need Judgment!

• Trumpet 1 (8:7): Hail and fire on earth, like 7th plague (Exodus 9:22–25)
• Trumpet 2 (8:8-9): Water turns to blood, killing sea life and ships, like 1st plague (Exodus 7:14-19)
• Trumpet 3 (8:10-11): Waters become bitter and contaminated, like 1st plague (Exodus 7:14-19)
• Trumpet 4 (8:12): Sun, moon, stars darkened by 1/3, like 9th plague (Exodus 10:21-23)
• Eagle Announcing Three Woes (8:13)
• Trumpet 5 (9:1-12): Demonic locusts from abyss torment people for 5 months, like 8th & 9th plagues (Exodus 10:12–15, 21–23)
• Trumpet 6 (9:13–19): Demonic angels kill 1/3 of humanity with 200 million cavalry

Three Lessons

1. You need a category for God as judge.
2. If you do know Christ, rejoice because judgment is coming.
3. If you don’t know Christ, repent because judgment is coming.
