Revelation Chapter 8
IN THIS LESSON
This is the second round. Out of the seven trumpets come hail, fire, blood, a falling star, and darkness. Doesn’t this sound familiar to you? Where have you seen this before, especially in the Old Testament? The passage ends with a flying eagle shouting, “Woe [Greek, ouai], woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth!” Does the eagle also speak Greek or English?
