The number seven is significant in Scripture, symbolizing completeness or perfection, as seen in the seven days of creation. These seven angels are part of the divine order and are tasked with executing God's judgment. with the seven trumpets prepared to sound them Persons / Places / Events 1. Seven AngelsThese are the divine messengers tasked with sounding the trumpets, each heralding a significant event in the unfolding of God's judgment. 2. Seven Trumpets Instruments used to announce divine intervention and judgment. In biblical times, trumpets were often used to signal important events or to gather people. 3. Preparation to Sound This indicates a moment of anticipation and readiness, marking the transition from silence in heaven to the active execution of God's plan. Teaching Points Divine Order and TimingGod's plans unfold in His perfect timing. The preparation of the angels signifies that God is in control and His judgments are deliberate and purposeful. The Role of Angels Angels are active participants in God's plan, serving as His messengers and executors of His will. This reminds us of the unseen spiritual realm that operates according to God's commands. The Significance of Trumpets Trumpets in Scripture often signal important events, warnings, or calls to action. As believers, we should be attentive to God's signals in our lives, ready to respond to His call. Readiness and Anticipation Just as the angels prepared to sound the trumpets, we should live in a state of spiritual readiness, anticipating Christ's return and the fulfillment of God's promises.(6) And the seven angels . . .--Translate, And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound. The angels raised their trumpets to their mouths, ready to blow. The sounding of the trumpets introduced the series of startling events (or providences, as we sometimes call them) which serve to arrest men's attention, and remind them that there is a kingdom which cannot be shaken. Such events are landing-stages in the great advancing progress of Christ's kingdom. It may be well to remind those who are desirous of actual and limited historical fulfilments which correspond with the features of the several visions, that the aim of the visions seems to be to give the seer, and through him the Church at large, some idea of the general kind of events which ever mark the decay of the kingdom of wrong and the growth of the kingdom of our Lord. It is to this consummation the visions of the trumpets lead us. We are to see the destruction of those who destroy the earth, and the establishment of the kingdom of Him who will reign in righteousness (Revelation 11:15-18). This great consummation is to be achieved by slow and painful steps. "Wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom?" is the question answered by the seals. "How wilt thou restore the kingdom?" is the question answered by the trumpets. In both cases the answer is similar. These great results are not and cannot be attained in the quick ways human impatience would suggest. The history of the world is not to be folded up in a hurry, for that history is a development and a discipline; it is not only the consummation which is to be desired: the steps to that end are salutary, though painful. The chastisement which is not joyous but grievous may be the best means of bringing to the world the peaceable fruits of righteousness;-- "And man, unfriended, faltering on the way, Must learn to weep before he learns to pray." And this wholesome lesson of tears must be taught the world, in the slow and bitter progress of a human history marked not by one judgment but by many. The fulfilment, then, of these prophetic visions is not exhausted in one event, however nearly its features may correspond with the character of the vision.
