What are the 7 Trumps in the Bible?

Answer 1

Biblically and historically, a Trumpet blast or trump announces or warns of the start of an event. Concerning these 7 trumps beginning at the opening of the 7th Seal, they begin the final 7 Trumpet Plagues - starts in Revelation 8:6. The last three introduce the final 3 Woes:

1st Trumpet - hail, fire and blood with 1/3 of all trees and grass burned (Rev 8:6-7)

2nd Trumpet - 1/3 of the sea becomes blood (Rev 8:8-9)

3rd Trumpet - 1/3 of fresh water made bitter (Rev 8:10-11)

4th Trumpet - 1/3 of all light darkened (Rev 8:12)

5th Trumpet - Satan-inspired War - 1st Woe (Rev 8:13; 9:1-12)

6th Trumpet - Massive 200 man army formed - 1/3 of mankind killed - 2nd Woe -

(Rev 13-21)

7th Trumpet - Return of Jesus Christ - 1st resurrection - final 7 Vials begins within a day (Rev 12:15-19; 19:1-21; Matt 24:30-31; 1 Cor 15:51-52; 1 Thes 4:16; and Zechariah 14:3-4) - Final or third Woe.

These 7 trumps completes the 'Day of the Lord' which is the one-year period of God's Wrath.
