Revelation 8:6
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets. See Revelation 8:2.
There is the utmost deliberation. All must be made ready. The four
angels hold back the winds (Revelation 7:1), then there was the silence of
half an hour (Revelation 8:1); now the seven angels
prepared themselves to sound. This implies that all things were
being made ready for the great events to follow.
Trumpets. The trumpet is used to give a signal. Usually it implied
the march or charge of armies. See Joel 2:1 Jer 4:5 Eze 33:1-6.
Sometimes it calls the people to worship. See Numbers 31:6 1Ch 15:24. The
reader will see that the first is likely to be the significance here.
