The Sixth Trumpet

The book of Revelation presents a sequence of events as a sequence of trumpets. While much of Revelation is hard to understand, the events of the sixth trumpet period are not as hard. The first event is the killing of 1/3 of the people on the earth. In this study, we separate the literal nouns from the symbolic nouns. That allows us to know that this killing is literal and happens over a literal year, and to understand some of what the Bible says about how it happens. Then we choose the only possible method of killing that many people so quickly in our time and see if that fits all the facts and symbolic nouns.
