Rev 8:8-9 | MHM | STEP | v. 8–9 : When the second angel sounds the trumpet, something like a burning mountain is thrown into the sea, turning a third of the sea into blood (Revelation 8:8-9 ). This could mean a powerful leader or city, like Rome, is destroyed, and many people (“the sea”) are hurt. Again, only a third is affected, reminding us that God’s mercy limits every disaster. This judgment especially affects cities and nations that depend on trade and the sea.
