REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty One - Preparing for the Blasts of the Trumpets -Conclusion

 As we shall now see, each of the trumpet blasts heralds a dramatic scene in which terrible plagues afflict portions of the earth.  Some of these remind us of the plagues that Jehovah sent to punish the Egyptians in Moses' day. (Exodus 7:19- 12:32)  These were expressions of Jehovah's  judgment on that nation, and they opened the way for God's people to escape from slavery. The plagues seen by John accomplish something similar.  However, they are not literal plagues.  They are signs that symbolize Jehovah's righteous judgments. - REVELATION 1:1.
