Summary: Before the 5thAngel sounded his Trumpet, John hears a vulture (eagle) announcing a Triple Woe “to the inhabitants of earth.”
However, instead of Satan’s activities awakening the wicked to their true condition and bringing them to repentance, the exact opposite happen:
o Revelation 9:20-21 - The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood -- idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
They refuse to repent!!!
Even though they are tormented and killed by the lies of their leader, they continue to worship him.
We are living in the time of the sixth Trumpet.
God’s desire is still to save.
His heart breaks over the condition of those who have rejected Him, so, it is during this time that He makes a special effort to reach human hearts one last time (Revelation 14:6-13).
(Interlude - 10:1-11:14)
• The 7th Trumpet - 3rd woe (11:15-18)
The sounding of the 7th Trumpet signals the conclusion of earth’s history, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."
The proclamation of the gospel is complete and the fate of every person has been decided.
As the 6th Trumpet activities of Satan rage on, what are God’s people doing? What is their experience?
The answer comes in the Interlude.
