Revelation: Blast of the Trumpets

The seals have been broken, but now the trumpets begin to blow. As a result, the whole of creation suffers and the demons are set loose. How are we to understand Revelation 8-9? Why should it be understood as a comfort rather than a terror? Join us as we continue our discussion of the book of Revelation.
