Hi Marilyn,

 

In reply to your 10/16 post at  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2010/marilyna1016.htm could you please explain why you think that the 7 trumpets are all blown on the same day?

 

How could the 6th trumpet be blown which comes right before the 2nd woe if the first woe, which takes place after the 5th trumpet blown, is not past until 5 months have gone by in which the locusts from the bottomless pit torment men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads?  Revelation 9:12-13-15 says, "One woe is past; and behold, there come two woes more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, release the four angels bound in the great river Euphrates.  And the four angels were loosed which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men." 

 

Also how did all the green grass that was burned up after trumpet 1 was blown in Rev. 8:7 return in the same day if the 7 trumpets are all blown on the same day because after trumpet 5 is sounded the locusts are released from the bottomless pit and told not to harm the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree according to Rev. 9:4?  How can the locusts harm the grass if it doesn't exist because it all burned up, or how did it grow back on the same day?
