THE SEVEN TRUMPETS: Revelation
UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN TRUMPETS
The Seven Trumpets
The seven Trumpets in the Book of Revelation are a series of judgments sent by God and to reward the righteous. Studying the seven seals reveals that the first trumpet will sound in 2033. For a better understanding, study the seven seals. Check the time line or click here. Packed with valuable information.
D&C 77:12: What are we to understand by the sounding of the trumpets, mentioned in the 8th chapter of Revelation?
We are to understand that as God made the world in six days, and on the seventh day he finished his work, and sanctified it, and also formed man out of the dust of the earth in the beginning of the seventh thousand years will the Lord God sanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man, and judge all things, and shall redeem all things, except that which he has not put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things; and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing and finishing his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years—the preparing of the way before the time of his coming.
Here’s what we’ll discuss.
1st trumpet: hail and fire;
2nd trumpet: burning mountain;
3rd trumpet: falling star;
4th trumpet: darkening of the sun, moon, and stars;
5th trumpet: demonic locusts;
6th trumpet: four angels unleashed;
7th trumpet: loud voice announcing the coming of Jesus Christ.
The 7 Trumpets are mentioned in Revelation, starting in chapter 7.
A Summary of The Seven Seals
Let’s briefly review the seven seals before we start. Things will make more sense and help you grasp the timing of it all.
Think of the seven seals as a series of events that follow one another in chronological order. In the first seal, there are 1000 years, and in the second seal, there is another thousand years, ultimately totaling 7000 years. When Jesus overcame the cross as mentioned in revelation, Jesus was then handed the book sealed with seven seals which contain the past, present, and future events of the earth and heaven.
6. Question: What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was sealed on the back with seven seals?
Answer: We are to understand that it contains the revealed will, mysteries, and the works of God; the hidden things of his economy concerning this earth during the seven thousand years of its continuance, or its temporal existence.
For instance, the combined duration of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh seal would be 7,000 years. Once again, we are looking at a time frame of 7000 years. Every millennium has specific historical events that occur within it. A thorough understanding of Bible history is crucial to grasp each period.
Start and end dates for each 1000 years. The Events described in Revelation span from Chapters 5 to 9.
1st Seal: Opened–3967 to 2967 B.C.–Enoch Ministered – Rev 6: 1, 2
2nd Seal: Opened–2967 to 1967 B.C.–War Raged – Rev 6: 3, 4
3rd Seal: Opened–1967 to 967 B.C.–Famine Stalk the Earth – Rev 6: 5, 6
4th Seal: Opened–967 to 33 A.D.–Death, Hell, War, Famine – Rev 6: 7,8
5th Seal: Opened–33 to 1033 A.D.–Christian’s Martyrs Slain – Rev 6: 9-11
6TH Seal: Opened–1033 to 2033 A.D.–Sign of the Times – Rev 6: 12-17
7th Seal: Opened–2033 to 3033 A.D.–Christ 2nd Coming/Trumpets/Armageddon
Each seal holds specific events that took place within that 1000 year period.
THE SEVEN TRUMPETS
The first of Seven Trumpets will begin sounding in approximately April 17th, 2033, coinciding with the opening of the seventh seal. When the 7th seal is opened, the saints are called home. There shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour. Rev 8: 1. Don’t get that confused. The silence is in heaven, not earth.
The First Resurrection, where the Bride (Saints) will be taken to meet Christ, is one of the initial events that occurs when the 7th seal is opened.
The saints who have diligently obeyed God’s commandments and wholeheartedly loved Him will experience a truly remarkable reunion. Among so many people, it’s probable that only a few had unwavering faith.

Question: When are the things to be accomplished, which are written in the 9th chapter of Revelation?
Answer: They are to be accomplished after the opening of the seventh seal, before the coming of Christ.

Part of the 6th Trumpet – The Seven Vials – Rev 16: 1
1st vial – grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast. Rev 16: 2
2nd vial Sea was destroyed, and every living soul died in the sea. Rev 16: 3
3rd Vial Rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. Rev 16: 4-7
4th vial – Power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. Rev 16: 8, 9

And there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. Rev 11: 15-18
Earthquake, and Great Hail. Rev 11: 19
The timing of when the first of 7 trumpets begin to sound is when we enter the 7th seal. (The year 2033) This is a big deal! Three things come together about the same time period, but not necessarily all at once.
2033 (est) 7th Seal Opens–The 1st of 7 Trumpet begins to sound. Saints caught up to meet Christ in the Air; 1st resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the 1st resurrection!
7th vial: Voices, lightning, thunders, great earthquake. Rev 16: 17-21 | Not all will sleep but will be changed. 1 Corinthians 15: 51-28
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Rev 8: 1; And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour.
Note: It is important to understand that this silence is in heaven, not earth.
Once the First Ressurection takes place, it is believed that the souls in heaven are preparing for the 2nd coming of Christ and will have their assignments.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
92 And angels shall fly through the midst of heaven, crying with a loud voice, sounding the trump of God, saying: Prepare ye, prepare ye, O inhabitants of the earth; for the judgment of our God is come. Behold, and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
D&C 88:95-101 (COMPLIMENTS OF “THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS” (MODERN-DAY PROPHECY)
Today, we will explore beautiful scriptures even as the world may struggle with truth. I hope that this gives you a sense of great hope. Upon encountering this text during my attempt to make sense of the matter, it triggered a surge of emotion within me. What you are about to learn?
The three resurrections known as the Rapture by many.
First Trumpet – First Resurrection (Rapture of the Saints) The Bride – (est. 2033)
2nd Trumpet – 2nd Resurrection
3rd Trumpet – 3rd Resurrection – These are those who will be Judge after the thousand years has ended.
95 And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; and immediately after shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll is unfolded after it is rolled up, and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled. This isn’t the second coming, it is “The first Resurrection”.
The event, sometimes referred to as the rapture, is called The First Resurrection in the Bible.
Revelation 20: 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
96 And the saints that are upon the earth, who are alive, shall be quickened and be caught up to meet him.
97 And they who have slept in their graves shall come forth, for their graves shall be opened; and they also shall be caught up to meet him in the midst of the pillar of heaven—
98 They are Christ’s, the first fruits, they who shall descend with him first, and they who are on the earth and in their graves, who are first caught up to meet him; and all this by the voice of the sounding of the trump of the angel of God.
99 And after this another angel shall sound, which is the second trump; and then cometh the redemption of those who are Christ’s at his coming; who have received their part in that prison which is prepared for them, that they might receive the gospel, and be judged according to men in the flesh.
100 And again, another trump shall sound, which is the third trump; and then come the spirits of men who are to be judged, and are found under condemnation;
101 And these are the rest of the dead; and they live not again until the thousand years are ended, neither again, until the end of the earth.
Read Revelation 9:20–21, looking for how the wicked who survive these plagues will respond.
Doctrine and Covenants 88:92–110. “And angels shall fly … sounding the trump of God”
Seven trumpets, each sounded by a different angel, will signal key events surrounding the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Among these events are the fall of “the mother of abominations” (see D&C 88:94, 105), the orderly resurrection of the dead (see D&C 88:95–102), the announcement that “the hour of [God’s] judgment is come” (see D&C 88:103–4), and the proclamation that God’s work is finished (see D&C 88:106). The seven angels will sound their trumpets a second time, and each will announce a review of 1,000 years of the earth’s history, from the Fall of Adam to the Millennium (see D&C 88:108–10).
LAST NOTE: Let us not forget that the 7th seal opens up in 2033 and then the 1st of seven Trumpets begin to sound.
This should clarify that time is precious, but even more importantly, it underlines the nearness of the first resurrection and the second coming. We absolutely must make sure everyone who needs to hear this information gets it. Despite spending countless hours on my projects and prophecy, I still have much to learn. Being human, I’m bound to make mistakes, even though I’m confident in my work. I am human and, based on my knowledge; I believe this information is right. The amazing answer to my prayer has fueled my desire to warn everyone that the Lord is coming soon, and I share this message with anyone who will listen. Being part of the First Resurrection means there are less than 10 years remaining. Are you prepared?
Second Coming of the Messiah Brings in the 7th Trumpet. Armageddon
Through Yeshua, we have the assurance of our salvation and the promise of eternal life. And He did not accomplish this just to leave us here alone; He gave us the Comforter:
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.” (John 16:7)
He not only sent His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to act as a companion and guide to all Believers, He has promised to return.
But first, Yeshua said we should expect many to come claiming to be the Messiah (Matthew 24:4–5, 11, 23–27).
He also indicated His return would be dramatic and sudden.
Yeshua said: “For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:27)
He then continues: “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” (Matthew 24:30–31)
The Departure of Lot and His Family from Sodom, by Peter Paul Rubens
Help us finish the Messianic Prophecy Bible
He warns His followers to be vigilant in looking for signs of His coming, comparing His return to the times of Noah and Sodom when everyone went on with their lives oblivious to their spiritual reality. As a result, they lost their lives. (Matthew 24:37–39; Luke 17:28–30)
Yeshua also told many parables to help us know the time of His Second Coming:
The parable of the man who was not prepared when the thief broke into his house: (Matthew 24:43–44);
The ten virgins, five of whom had foolishly not prepared their lamp with sufficient oil (truth) for the coming of the Bridegroom (Matthew 25:1–12); and
The diligent servants who were ready to meet their master (Luke 12:37–38).
Finally, Matthew 25:31–46 describes the coming of Yeshua and the judgment of the nations, which is also foretold by the Prophet Zechariah.
“On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.” (Zechariah 12:3)
A woman inserts a written prayer in the crevices of the women’s section of
the Western (Wailing) Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem
Just like in the days of Yeshua’s birth, when many Jewish people were eagerly anticipating the coming of the Messiah, today we look forward to Yeshua’s return.
Still, most Jewish People think that the Messiah’s coming will be His first.
You can help us change that reality one person at a time and, perhaps, one day we shall see the fulfillment of another prophecy yet to come, a day when “all Israel will be saved.” (Romans 11:26)

Hosea 4:6—My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
THE TIMING OF THE SEVEN TRUMPETS
Although I can’t provide an exact timeline, I can confirm that the first trumpet will occur in 2033. Despite my inability to specify the lifespan of each trumpet, I am resolute in my pursuit of the truth. Several clues should be taken into consideration. For example, Trumpet 6 reveals that two witnesses will prophesy for 1260 days. That alone signifies three and a half years. I am convinced that a solution is attainable, and I will persist in my pursuit of it. I’m eager to share my findings, which I believe are just as interesting. The dates I’ve given for the seven trumpets are just my best estimates. I will keep you updated as things progress and update the trumpets. My commitment to providing authentic, truthful answers motivates me to back up my statements with evidence.
“… And the sounding of the seven trumps is the preparing and finishing of his work in the morning of the seventh thousand years.” This gives a clue to the time when the seven angels will sound. They will not sound their trumpets in the evening of the sixth thousand years, but when the six thousand years shall have passed away from the creation, and the morning of the seventh has commenced, then these great events will happen.
Jesus does not come immediately at the commencement of the seventh thousand years, but as there was a work in the beginning which he performed on the seventh day, such as planting the garden and placing men therein, so there will be a certain work to be performed in the beginning of the seventh thousand years, namely, the resurrection and redemption of man, including the heathen nations and those people in prison who have died without the law and have been punished for their sins. When the Lord has caused these seven angels to sound their trumps, he will bring about all these purposes which he has ordained, and which must be accomplished in that morning. Before Jesus appears in the clouds of heaven they are to sound to prepare the way of the Lord before his coming.
