Earth in the Hands of an Angry God

100 Days of Preaching the Gospel #87 | with Daniel Whyte III

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 8:6-13.

Yesterday, we looked at the opening of the seventh seal, and we saw the wonderful demonstration of what happens to the thousands upon thousands of prayers of the saints that have ascended from this earth and have been stored up in the throne room of God Almighty in Heaven. We also saw how that when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour. This is because the seventh seal introduces another set of extremely catastrophic judgments -- the seven Trumpet Judgments which we will begin looking at today.

John MacArthur calls the four trumpet judgments that we will cover today the "divine destruction of earth's ecology." This is because these four judgments devastate the natural processes that we depend on for the earth to operate normally. Let's begin looking at these trumpet judgments.

1. The first trumpet judgment brings about hail, fire, and blood, which destroys a third of all plant life.

2. The second trumpet judgment brings about a third part of the sea being turned into blood and the death of a third of sea life.

3. The third trumpet judgment brings about the poisoning of a third of the fresh water supply and the death of many people.
