Before the Trumpets of Woes

Revelation 8-

VERSE 13. And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound.

This angel is not one of the series of the seven trumpet angels, but simply one who announces that the three remaining trumpets are woe trumpets, on account of the more terrible events to transpire under their sounding. Thus the next, or fifth trumpet, is the first woe; the sixth trumpet, the second woe; and the seventh, the last one in this series of seven trumpets, is the third woe.

Excerpt from Daniel and Revelation- by Uriah Smith 1897

And tomorrow we will begin the study of the last three trumpets- the woes.

By the grace of God may we find comprehension, enlightenment, and spiritual understanding.

I have a headache tonight so I won't expound further, God forgive my weakness.
