^2 (A)And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, ^(B)and to them were given seven trumpets.

Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed

¹⁵ Then ^(A)the seventh angel sounded: ^(B)And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ^(C)“The ^[a]kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, ^(D)and He shall reign forever and ever!”

¹⁹ And the angel answered and said to him, “I am ^(A)Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you ^[a]these glad ^(B)tidings.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep^(A)

¹⁰ “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven ^(B)their angels always ^(C)see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

The Seven Bowls

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying ^(A)to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the ^[a]bowls ^(B)of the wrath of God on the earth.”

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

15 Then ^(A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: ^(B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, ^(C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates

¹³ Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the ^(A)golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound ^(B)at the great river Euphrates.”

⁶ So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck

⁷ The first angel sounded: ^(A)And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown ^(B)to the ^[a]earth. And a third ^(C)of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck

⁸ Then the second angel sounded: ^(D)And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, ^(E)and a third of the sea ^(F)became blood. ^9 (G)And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck

¹⁰ Then the third angel sounded: ^(H)And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, ^(I)and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. ^11 (J)The name of the star is Wormwood. ^(K)A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck

^12 (L)Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day ^[b]did not shine, and likewise the night.

¹³ And I looked, ^(M)and I heard an ^[c]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, ^(N)“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit

9 Then the fifth angel sounded: ^(O)And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to ^(P)the ^[d]bottomless pit.
