Commentaries:
Three is God's special number signifying finality. These three woes involve three final, major battles, each so horrifying that it is called a "woe" by Almighty God. Each battle is so destructive that only God will be able to repair the damage man's armies will do to the surface of the earth.
At the third battle—the third woe and last trumpet—all mankind will be saved from extinction only by a miracle from God. If God did not personally intervene in this climactic war, men would destroy the last vestige of human life from the face of the earth!
These terrifying events make the Feast of Trumpets a solemn day. But to those who have begun to obey the government of God now, it is a time of rejoicing. Today's lawless societies will be abolished, and the Kingdom of God will be established on earth by Jesus Christ!
