Is First ‘Book of Revelation’ Trumpet Sounding?

In the final book of the New Testament, seven trumpets are sounded, one at a time, to set off apocalyptic events seen by John of Patmos in his vision. According to Revelation 8:1-2 the angels sound these trumpets after the breaking of the Seventh Seal, which secured the scroll of the apocalypse, marking the Second Coming of Christ.

Currently, with the devastating events around the world, including coronavirus and the locust plague on the African continent, some have theorised that these events could represent the Four Horsemen from Revelation 6 – sent to cause famine and plague – coming to life.

But, Pastor John Barnett says we are now living in what he dubbed “the silence before the storm” which will see the first trumpet of Revelation 8 sounded in the near future – a devastating event that will wipe out one-third of Earth’s trees, a promise in which he believes was proved in the Book of Exodus.

In a video uploaded last month, he said: “The doctrine starts in verse seven, the first angel sounds and hail and fire follow mingled with blood.

“Now doesn’t that sound like something Exodus? Chapter seven to 10 – the Plagues of Egypt – It’s very similar to what’s happening.
