The Seven Trumpets of Revelation

By Editor

SYNOPSIS: The seven trumpets of Revelation 8 and 9 have been shown to be symbols of war. The first trumpet symbolized the wars waged by the renowned Alaric and his victorious Goths. The fulfillment of the second trumpet is found in the conquests of Italy and Africa by the Vandals under the terrible Genseric. The third trumpet was fulfilled by the Huns under the leadership of Attila, called the "scourge of God." The fourth trumpet signified the career of Odoacer, leader of the Heruli and other tribes, and completed the downfall of Western Rome. The fifth trumpet was symbolic of the conquest of Mohammed and his followers, the new religion sweeping everything before it in three continents.
