Has The Trumpets Already Sounded? by chinedumo(m): 7:51am On Jul 16, 2014
Revelation 8:6-10
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters"
For almost 6,000 years of human history prior to World War 1 no conflict had ever recorded up to 1 million fatalities. The records of WWI state that there were 8.2 million dead after the war. The conflict had terrible consequences on everything and took a massive toll even on vegetation, this was largely because of what was referred to as the "Scorched Earth Policy" where armies would burn and destroy crops, houses and any other useful things in a bid to ensure that nothing useful fell into the hands of enemy combatants.
Could this have been the result of the 1st Trumpet blown by the 1st Angel?
World War II was even more dramatic, 52 million dead with 1/3 of the ships destroyed (there were over 105,000 ships that participated in the 2nd World War, over 33,000 of them were destroyed). Nuclear Warfare was introduced at a previously inconceivable level in this conflict, the "Fat Man" bomb in Nagasaki and the "Little Boy" bomb in Hiroshima sent mushroom clouds and flames high into the skies and these would obviously look like burning mountains. The disaster that was the 2nd World War led to waters being turned to blood.
Could these be the consequences of the 2nd Trumpet being blown by the 2nd Angel?
The 26th April 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster was classified a level 7 event (the maximum classification)on the International Nuclear Event Scale; till date the city of Pripyat that housed the workers and their families is a ghost town and is unfit for human habitation. the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was preceded by an explosion that blew off the 2 million lbs lid that covered the reactor, the flames from the nuclear fire pushed a mile into the sky, and had 10 times more radioactive material released into the atmosphere than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined and the after effects include the acid rain that poured over a period of time into water bodies and lands in Eastern Europe, and these led to the absorption of Cesium 137 into the bone marrows (with a half-life of 30 years it eventually leads to cancer) by millions of people.
In an attempt to fight the fire that arose out of the explosion fire trucks were deployed but these became so contaminated by radiation that they had to be buried; it was so serious that several new bulldozers had to be brought in to also bury the bulldozers that were originally used to bury the fire trucks. The effects of Chernobyl are still building.
In a peer-reviewed publication in the International Journal of Cancer in 2006 the authors stated-
"The risk projections suggest that by now Chernobyl may have caused about 1,000 cases of thyroid cancer and 4,000 cases of other cancers in Europe...modelspredict that by 2065 about 16,000 cases of thyroid cancer and 25,000 cases of other cancers may be expected due to radiation from the accident".
Other groups have reported that the cancer related deaths from this crisis will far exceed the million mark eventually.
In the Russian (specifically Ukrainian) language the word for "wormwood" as written in Revelation 8 is CHERNOBYL.
Could these be the consequences of the 3rd Trumpet being blown by the 3rd Angel?

Check your history again. The campaigns of Tamurlane killed around 17 million people in the 14th century. Combining that with the bubonic plague in Europe and Asia, as well as the hundred years war in Europe, and I think the case could be made that the 14th century was worse than the 20th, if you take into account deaths as a percentage of the total population.

The fourth fifth...might affect africa.

I do not believe in your book of fairytale.
You said Africa does not have to be affected by the so-called trumpets.
Which means Africans are not part of the biblical "prophecies"

do u take time to read.

I said it doesnt have to be affected by the first, second and third trumpets.

There are seven trumpets in total.

Look at how desperate you are to put down the bible without listerning.


This thread is not for those who see the bible as a fairytale. This is more of a hypothesis for those who beleive in bible prophecy

Why not? Your Bible doesn't give any dichotomy between Africa and the rest of the world.

If it is prophecy, it doesn't need hypotheses.

You used "might"
So you're not sure.
So the "end of the world" will not affect Africa.
Good to know.
