The First Trumpet

The First Trumpet blast will occur quickly after the Seventh Seal
of Revelation is opened by Jesus Christ. Even as I am writing, the
events prophesied to take place during these trumpet blasts are
already showing signs of emerging on the world scene. Much of
what will occur is simply being held back by God until it is His
time to allow it.

God is going to allow mankind to bring about one more world war.

If God were not in control of the timing,
some of these events would have already begun; but God is in
control of the exact timing of everything that is to take place.
God will cut the end-time short by allowing these end-time
events to occur over the limited space of three and one-half years,
otherwise, mankind would end up destroying all life on the
earth—so says God Almighty!

Notice the powerful description of the first trumpet:

When He [Jesus Christ] had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven for about the space of half an
hour. And I saw seven angels who stood before God, and
seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel
who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and
he was given much incense that he should offer it with the
prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was
before the throne. Then the smoke of the incense along
with the prayers of the saints ascended up before God out
of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer, and
filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it to the earth.
Then there were voices, and thundering, and lightning,
and an earthquake. And the seven angels who had the
seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. After the
first angel sounded, then there followed hail and fire
mingled with blood, and they were cast on the earth, and
the third part of trees were burned up and the green grass
with it was burned up. (Revelation 8:1-7)

This first powerful event of the Seventh Seal will result in
wide-spread destruction over the United States and beyond her
border into Canada. The destruction in Canada will be less, but
she will experience repercussions from what will happen in the
U.S.; because she is a neighbor, as well as a prophetic brother.

When we are told that a third of all plant life will be destroyed,
that is exactly what it means. The actual event will not be
disclosed until it is time for it to happen. As with all the Seals of
Revelation, many of the specifics of each of the Seven Trumpets
will not be revealed until it is time for the actual events to take
place. It should also be noted, that in the first trumpet there is fire
mingled with blood. Blood means there will be much death when
this event occurs. Most of it will be the death of animals and
birds, but also a large number of people will die—into the tens of
thousands.
