Book Revelation §8,9,11,15,16, Judgments Generally: Seven Trumpets in Heaven
Shalom,
^ The plagues of the bowls and the judgments of the trumpets are discussed together, Rev. 8, 9, 11, 15 and 16.
However, explaining the secrets of the trumpets would not be self-evident….
With prayer of the living letters of Christ (cf. 2Cor. 3:3), Bert
7$,1-7T: When brother Branham had tried to rent a large meeting place, where he could preach to many people as regards the seven trumpets, everything failed. In the end, it was only possible to arrange a regular meeting. The reason he mentioned was that God forbade him from talking of the trumpets. The trumpets belong to the Jewish people, God had answered when he had asked for an answer. Thus, the topic and content of his sermon changed to the topic of ‘The Feast of the Trumpets’, from which also this explanation is found (64-0719M).
Messages of seven heavenly trumpets {Rev. 8:2…. (also 5c§6(8)10)}.
1-7$s,7$1-7S: On earth are seven star messengers, also with trumpet messages (5c§6(8)10, =), Rev. 10:7, <“…. But in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger/angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He evangelized to His servants the prophets.”>
Among other things, the mysteries of the seals were revealed during Branham's lifetime. Based on the message of this text he could have been the messenger of the seventh church, that of Laodicea. At the same time, with his trumpet he declares/declared a spiritual war against all the forces of darkness (5c§6(8)10, 1Cor. 14:8-9).
7T,1-6T: The seventh heavenly trumpet on the other hand initiates the rapture of believers (cf. 5d§6(8)10, Rev. 11:15-19).
It is the end of the Laodicean age and the beginning of the greater tribulation period. Similarly, the other trumpets would have represented similar periods of judgments (Rev. 8:5).
