Three “woes” because of the last 3 trumpets. 2. Trumpet 5 (1st Woe): The Bottomless Pit opened and locusts are released to torment and sting those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

  12. The Seven Trumpets (Rev. 8:6-15:8) 3. Trumpet 7 (3rd Woe): The 24 Elders worship of God in Heaven. The Temple in Heaven opens and the ark of the covenant is seen within the temple.

Preparations for the Seven Bowl Judgments.
