Understanding Revelation | Session 39 – The Seventh Seal and the Trumpet Judgments

Pastor Brandon Holthaus

The opening of the Seventh Seal unleashes the most sobering and terrifying judgments in the book of Revelation. In this study of Revelation 8 (NKJV), we see heaven fall silent as the Day of the Lord comes in full force. From the prayers of the saints rising like incense to the sounding of the trumpets, God’s wrath begins to shake the earth, sea, sky, and humanity itself.

We’ll explore the four key themes of the Seventh Seal—Silence, Sounding, Supplication, and Storm—and then walk through the first four trumpet judgments:

• Hail, fire, and blood consuming the land
• A burning mountain cast into the sea
• The star Wormwood poisoning the waters
• The heavens struck, darkening light across the earth

Each judgment dismantles idols, displays God’s holiness, and shows that sin cannot go unpunished. Yet, amid the warnings, there is hope: God hears the prayers of His people, and His justice allows us to live in forgiveness, not vengeance.

📖 Scripture: Revelation 8 (NKJV)
🔥 Big Idea: The Seventh Seal contains the trumpet judgments that intensify God’s wrath, proving His justice and pointing us to Christ’s coming Kingdom.
✝️ Application: Because God is just, we can forgive others and trust Him with ultimate justice.

All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. Never, in the history throughout the world have so many forces, including economic, scientific, techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral, spiritual and religion, converged together to bring this world that's already teetering over the edge into the abyss, to a point of no return. Jesus said when you see all these signs happening, know that I am near, even at the door.
