Jehovah's Works -Great and Wonderful -The Bowls and the Trumpet Blasts

 The bowls of Jehovah's anger revealed features of the world scene as Jehovah views them and warn of judgments that Jehovah will execute.  The angels pour out the bowls throught the agency of the congregation of anointed Christians on earth, the ones singing the song of  Mosess and the song of the Lamb. While proclaiming the  Kingdom as good news, the John class have boldly revealed the contents  of these bowls of anger.  (Matthew 24:14; Revelation 14:6,7)   Thus, their twofold message has been peaceful in proclaiming liberty to mankind but warlike in warning of "the day of vengeance on the part of our God. " - ISAIAH 61:1, 2.

The targets of the first four bowls of God's anger  correspond to those of the first four trumpet blasts, that is, the earth, the sea, the rivers and the fountails of water, and the heavenly sources of light.  (Revelation 8:1-12) But the trumpet blasts announced  plagues on "a third," whereas an entirty is afflicted  by the pouring out of the bowls of God's anger.  Thus, while Satan's system  as "a third," has received first attentionn during the Lord's day, not one part of Satan's system had been exempted from being plagued by Jehovah's  vextious judgment messages and the sorrows they bring, 

The final three trumpet blasts  were different, for they were called woes.  (Revelation 8:13; 9:12) The first two of these consisted particulary  of the locusts and the armies of cavalry, while the third introduced the birth of Jehovah's Kingdom.  (Revelation 9:1-21; 11:15-19)  As we  shall seem the final three bowls of his wrath also cover some of these  aspects, but they are somewhat different from the three woes.  Let us ow pay close attention  to the dramatic disclosures that result from the pouring out of the bowls of Jehovah's anger.
