“FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO WRATH,                                                                                                                                                            89
BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST…”

                                                            1Thess. 5:9

“…HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND FROM THE WRATH OF
THE LAMB! FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH HAS COME, AND WHO IS ABLE TO STAND?”

                                                                 Rev. 6:16-17

Every one of the seven

trumpets of Revelation are

filled with cataclysmic

destruction by God of both

the earth and its inhabitants.

In the previous “seven seals”

God allowed one-fourth of

mankind to be killed

(Rev.6:8). The sixth trumpet

kills another one-third.                                   3RD        4TH   5TH                                                                                                                              7TH

Philadelphia church was:

“I KNOW YOUR WORKS. SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR, AND NO ONE CAN SHUT IT; FOR
YOU HAVE A LITTLE STRENGTH, HAVE KEPT MY WORD, AND HAVE NOT DENIED MY NAME…BECAUSE YOU
HAVE KEPT MY COMMAND TO PERSEVERE, I ALSO WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL WHICH
SHALL COME UPON THE WHOLE WORLD, TO TEST THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH.” Rev. 3:8-10

God has no intention of subjecting those who have already been tested and found faithful to the likes of

what is contained in the first six trumpets. Who needs to be raptured at all if we must make it through the

seven seals and the first six trumpets before we are raptured? Such a dismal promise does not fit Paul’s

words found in his dissertations on the rapture:                 Only the trumpets of Numbers 10

   “FOR THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN…               provide such “words of comfort”
    WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD…THE DEAD WILL RISE FIRST,               “THE FIRST TRUMPET”
THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP
TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN                         “Gather
  THE AIR. AND THUS WE SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD.                    the assembly”
 THEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS…                      (the dead rise first)
 FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN

          SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST…
                   THEREFORE COMFORT EACH OTHER…”
                            1Thess. 4:16-18, 5:9-11excerpts

                      “BEHOLD, I TELL YOU A MYSTERY:             “THE LAST TRUMPET”
WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED –
                                                                      “move the camp”
           IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE,                (caught up together
   AT THE LAST TRUMPET. FOR THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND,                 with them in the air)

          AND THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE,
                        AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED.”
