Revelations 8:5-11 (summary) The First, Second and Third Trumpet

By Odon Bulamba (24 June 2005)

Revelation 8:5-7, Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.




We’ve been crossing this since the 1970’s and because of our prayers the angel continues to hold the censer and put perfume into it and our prayers are mixed with that. But at some stage God will say this is enough, I don’t want to continue to get that glory while my people suffer, this must stop, it is time now to use the censer for another purpose: to throw fire to the earth and when it comes there will be thunder and lightening but people will interpret it according to science and say it’s normal, don’t worry.


First Trumpet; hail and fire mixed with blood.


Hail = water = Word of God


Fire = revolution of science; people of this world will not accept the signs of the times and bring a fire to resist (science). Whenever you say, ‘God is coming back’, they will say, ‘no these are not signs but can be explained by science.’


Hail + fire = smoke; most preachers will become politicians; mix water & fire = smoke and smoke destroys oxygen and puts people in confusion and people see danger when they see smoke and run away. The church today is crossing a danger by mixing the Word of God with the power of the world which will destroy the grass (Rev 8:7) which is the new born in the gospel of the Kingdom of God because they will follow bad teaching.


Everything that will happen with the first trumpet will happen with the church first; mislead 1/3rd of the population and once lost there is no chance for life again.


Jesus Christ is a tree and we represent God so we are also trees of this world.


Second Trumpet; Ex 9, Pharaoh was supposed to free the Israelites but he wanted to keep them because they were useful to him. Many Christians around the world today are being used by satan, in front of you they look nice but behind your back they are destroying the church.


Fire will come from heaven to the sea;


Sea = Word of God


Fire will make people to be misled, a cursed spirit will talk to churches and mislead people of God. People will fear to tell the truth because the church won’t be happy if the Word of God doesn’t fit into their lives instead of living their live according to the Word of God. Science and politics are fighting the gospel. The only way to get people saved is to pray and tell the truth and not change the meaning of the Bible.


Third Trumpet; the name of the star destroys rivers and the name of it is bitterness and people couldn’t use that water anymore and because of our way of misinterpreting the Bible, God will send a big spirit of misleading and it will get into the church and kill seriously.

There is a lot of confusion because everyone has a different interpretation and so the Word of God becomes bitter and people decide to not go to church anymore. This is already here, the spirit of false teaching or false prophecies and that is why we must go back to the Bible and check the teaching.


The Star (vs 11) has five corners = pentagon = USA has a pentagon that controls all five continents (corners). “one third of the earth destroyed” and today 1/3rd of the church is controlled by the pentagon and the head offices of most churches are in the USA. These people of the big star will put power in the Ecumenical Council (only the American version of the Bible is allowed at the Ecumenical Council) and they will use the E.C to destroy the Church. When that star comes down we will see blood in the church because people will hate which is equal to murder in God’s eyes (1 John 3:15) e.g. racism, Pentecostal vs Baptist.
