First Trumpet - Hail and fire, mixed with blood, falls on Earth, destroying 1/3 of all grass and trees on Earth. This is also known as World War I


Second Trumpet - A giant burning mountain plunges into the sea killing 1/3 of all ships and sea life. This is also known as World War II


Third Trumpet - A big star from space, called Wormwood falls to Earth and poisons all the world's freshwater. This is also known as the Chernobyl Explosion


Fourth Trumpet - The sun, moon and stars become dark. There is complete darkness worldwide for a third of the day. This is also known as the Fall of the Berlin Wall.


Fifth Trumpet - This one is a doozy. A star falls to Earth and causes a bottomless pit to appear. From this bottomless pit, a massive swarm of locusts come out with scorpion tails, lions teeth and ladies hair. These locusts had gold armor and stung all sinners, causing torment for five months. They were commanded by a demon named Abaddon. This is also known as the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.


Sixth Trumpet - Four angels come forth from their prison in the river Euphrates. They command an army of 200 million mounted horseman whose horses breath plague, fire and brimstone. These horses had a lion's head and a tail that is a snake. The plague and death they cause kill 1/3 of the remaining population on Earth. This is known as World War III which will be the War against ISIS.


Seventh Trumpet - A big booming voice speaks to the population of Earth like an intercom and proclaims Jesus Christ as ultimate ruler forever and ever. Thanks is given to God, the Almighty and praise for the wrath that came, the dead who were judged, and the bond-servants rewarded. The holy temple in Heaven is then revealed and the Ark of the Covenant is revealed. Then, after this, a bunch of lightning rains down upon Earth and a giant Earthquake appears. This will happen in the next 6-9 years.

Yeah, I still don't get the Berliin Wall. Why is there a relatively good thing in the middle of all these awful things signaling an awful thing. Because it fits the narrative?

The 4th trumpet that miraculously transformed from "idk" to "a positive event".

Fifth Trumpet (although I like DC Al Fine am an amillennialist). It's a shame the coolest trumpet gets the most pathetic historical event.

As far as I remember from my own religious upbringing, I thought the Trumpets weren't supposed to happen until the actual end started? Like, you'd have the Rapture or whatever and then God would wreck havoc on the earth or whatnot.

Yeah, but there are differing schools of thought about the rapture. Generally, yes, there is supposed to be the rapture and then the world gets havoc wrought upon it (Left Behind) but some people think it can occur during (like in the Seth Rogen movie This Is The End) or some people think it will occur at the end of the judgments.

Fourth Trumpet sounds emo and therefore cool as hell, but I went with Seventh Trumpet because Sounding The Seventh Trumpet is Avenged Sevenfold's best album.

That's one position, and probably the most common amongst conservative evangelicals. Bushie's position about "interpreting" Revelation and assigning these Trumpets to historical events is common more amongst televangelist types and hucksters who many othe conservative evangelicals warn about. And of course it doesn't fit with a literal interpretation of the Bible...at all. The amillenialist view (of DC, Madeline and me) is generally that the book is written about the Roman Empire and is mostly an allegory about persecution of Christians at the time, Nero is the Antichrist, and that it's kind of a revenge fantasy or simply a prediction of the fall of the Roman Empire loaded with allegories and metaphors.

However the Fifth Trumpet is by far the coolest in description, even if the event Bushie and that huckster he follows assigns to it is relatively bland and boring.

It will happen in an ever faster sequence of events ending in the singularity where robot God tahes us in his bosom.

I feel like I could come up with better events for the trumpets than these.
