6 Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.

2) Second Trumpet
Revelation 8:8,9 NLT (Plague of Death in the Ocean -Disaster-Sixth Seal: Stars fall to earth)
8 Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood,
9 one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.
3) Third Trumpet (Plague of Polluted Waters)
Revelation 8:10,11 NLT
10 Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11 The name of the star was Bitterness (Wormwood). It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.
4) Fourth Trumpet (Plague of Darkness)
Revelation 8:12 NLT
12 Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.
5) Fifth Trumpet (Plague of Torturing Locusts)
Revelation 9:1-11 NLT
1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
2 When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.
3 Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.
4 They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.
6 In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.
8 They had hair like women's hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion.
9 They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.
10 They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.
11 Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon—the Destroyer.
6)Sixth Trumpet (Plague of Death -March Of An Army Some 200 Million Strong: China)
Revelation 9:13-21 NLT
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.
14 And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River."
15 Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth.
16 I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops.
17 And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.
18 One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues—by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.
19 Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.
20 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
7) Seventh Trumpet (Plague Of Earthquake And Storm)
Revelation 11:15-19 NLT
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven:
"The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ,
and He will reign forever and ever."
16 The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped Him.
17 And they said,
"We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty
the one who is and who always was,
for now you have assumed your great power
and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were filled with wrath,
but now the time of your wrath has come.
It is time to judge the dead
and reward your servants the prophets,
as well as your holy people,
and all who fear your name,
from the least to the greatest.
It is time to destroy
all who have caused destruction on the earth."
19 Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of His covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.
Hebrews 3:15 KJV
"While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts,..."Isaiah 55:6,7 KJV
[6] Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
[7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
