Revelation - 8 7-13

                a paraphrased study

{I think these are descriptions of things and happenings done by man. We have ‘his’ number. We are made of carbon and carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.}

     Review - verses 5 and 6, just previous - {Can it be avoided I wonder..} The angel took the censer and filled it with fire and prayers of the ‘saints’/believers, from the altar, and threw it upon the earth! And there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. ->The interrupting of 7:1,3, which verses are the holding back of the winds (of seal 6, logically. Rev.6:12-17) after their first occurrence. {But the seal is described as its full effects, first to last.. a veil on the vision.}

       6 And now the seven angels who have the seven trumpets were prepared to sound.

     7 - The first angel blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it was thrown upon the earth, and a third of earth was burned up, and a third of trees, and (where it was?) all the green grass was burned up. {#3 thunder? Number one being 6:12-17 - but the seal is all its occurrences blended, the whole element of the age (seal) described first to last. And #2 thunder is 8:5. The higher and faster moisture rises, the greater the hail.}

     8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something that looked like a great mountain on fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became as blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships (trade) were destroyed. {#4? thunder/seal 6 event} {Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4}.

     10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, like a falling torch. And it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. (7:17) 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became bitter, and many people died from the water. (#5?)

     12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was stricken, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened, and a third of the day did not give its light, and so it was also for a third of the night. (#6?)

     13 Then I looked, and saw an eagle flying overhead and it cried out with a loud voice -  “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell upon earth, because of the soundings of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!” {Worse things yet?😳}
