Revelation 8:7

Verse 7

Four Creational Trumpets, Revelation 8:7-12.

THE FIRST TRUMPET The scorched earth, Revelation 8:7.

7. Hail… fire… blood Based upon the hail plague, Exodus 19:18-25, with fearful variations. That was “hail, and fire mingled with hail,” “and the fire ran along the ground.” But in that, the “hail” was the main destroyer, in this, the fire. Here the fall of “hail” indicates descent from God; the fire is the token of wrath, the blood of death. The third part in each of the four mundane plagues, being the trinitarian number, indicates the divine limitation of the evil; and the proportion of one third indicates that mercy spares more than wrath destroys, even in this sin-filled world.
