Revelation 8:2

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

·         And to them were given seven trumpets: In the Old Testament, trumpets sounded the alarm for war, and threw the enemy into a panic, or they called an assembly of God’s people.  (DG)

·         These seven trumpets will sound as God’s battle-alarm during the great tribulation. (DG)
