The 7 Trumpets

The Book of Revelation talks about three groups of seven: Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets, and Seven Vials. These three sets of seven make up the primary configuration of the Book of Revelation. The Seven Seals are a long story that ends at the Battle of Armageddon. The Seven Trumpets are a shorter story that also ends at the Battle of Armageddon. While the Seven Vials is a real short story that ends at the Battle of Armageddon.  The seven vials do not begin until after the mark of the beast is administered. This is known because the Bible states that the first vial will be released upon those who accepted the mark of the beast. Therefore, we can conclude that all seven vials will be released upon mankind during the final three and a half years before the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The last three-and-a-half-year period is known as the Great Tribulation. This book explains when the trumpets began and how many have already sounded.
