Revelation of John 9:13
The Seventh TrumpetThis section is about the sixth trumpet (the second woe) and the coming judgments that follow. It shows how God controls when and how judgments are released on the earth. Even the enemies of God’s people can only act when God allows it. The vision warns of powerful armies and terrible destruction, but also points out how people often refuse to repent, even when God’s judgments are clear. God always expects people to turn from sin and learn from His warnings.v. 13–14: The vision begins with a voice from the horns of the golden altar, where prayers are offered (Revelation 9:13-14 a). This shows that God’s enemies are held back until He commands them to act. When a nation is ready for judgment, God allows these forces to be released. The four angels who are released from the Euphrates River symbolize powerful forces, possibly the rise of the Turks, who were far from Europe but became a great threat when God’s time came.
