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.
· The first four trumpets are
“supernatural acts of God through nature” sent
to destroy the Antichrist’s resources and his followers, while displaying
Jesus’ power as superior to his. God’s judgments against the wicked in the “trumpets” affect various areas of the environment
(trees, grass, sea, rivers, sky), food supply (vegetation, meat), sea trade
(fish), water supply and energy (light and heat from sun, moon and stars). They
are not merely “natural acts” portrayed in symbolic language, but are the supernatural
power of God using and moving through God’s natural creation, affecting it in a
supernatural way that has never been seen before in human history at this
magnitude. (CS)

The most severe calamities have their
bounds and limits set them by the great God (MH)
