Rev 8:13 "As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-air call out in a loud voice: Woe! Woe! Woe! to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"
... is a foil to...
Rev 4:8 "Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
THIS IS NOT HELL BROKEN LOOSE ON EARTH, BUT IT IS HEAVEN'S WRATH POURED OUT ON EARTH.
Rev 11:13 "... and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven." <== the only place in Bible that mentions conversion of wicked
Rev 11:17 "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign." <== no more "is to come"
Follows same pattern as that of seals:
- First four trumpets (8:2-13): Earthly destruction
- Next two trumpets (9:1-21): More cosmic destruction
- The second interlude (10:1-11:14)
- Seventh trumpet
