The Seventh Seal and the First Six Trumpets
At an appointed time during the seven-year tribulation period described in the book of Revelation, the eye of the hurricane of God's wrath will pass over the throne room of heaven and there will be a 30-minute calm in the storm. As the events of Revelation 8–9 continue to unfold, the Lamb, Jesus Christ, breaks the seventh seal, initiating the seven trumpet judgments followed by seven bowl judgments. These judgments highlight the pervasiveness of Satan, demons, and the unbelieving world. Join Tom Pennington as he explains the events recorded in Revelation 8–9: The Seventh Seal & the First Six Trumpets.

Revelation 8–9 describes God’s judgment and wrath being poured out on the earth during the second half of the Tribulation. And it will fall in direct response to the prayers of God's people.

The Seventh Seal and the First Six Trumpets - Part 7
The Bible teaches that God is not the source of evil, nor does He tempt or force anyone to do evil. This is a critical doctrine to understand, because in the book of Revelation, the apostle John describes how wickedness and evil will run rampant during the future tribulation period.
