Apocalipsis 8:6 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 8:6

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
Given them, ( Revelation 8:2 ) ;

prepared themselves to sound;
they stood up, took their trumpets in their hands, and put them to their mouths; this was giving notice of what was coming upon the earth, and a kind of warning to men, and a call upon them to repentance, and to prepare to meet God in the way of his judgments. The time when these trumpets began to blow was after the opening of the seventh seal, and so after the destruction of the empire as Pagan, which was under the sixth seal; and after that peace and rest from persecution in Constantine's time, signified by the half hour's silence in heaven; and after the prayers of the saints for vengeance, because of their blood shed in the time of Rome Pagan, were offered up, heard, taken notice of, and accepted; and therefore cannot regard, nor have any concern with the state of the church before Constantine's time, as some have thought the three first trumpets had; the first introducing the contradictions and blasphemies of the Jews, and their persecutions of the Christians, and the effusion of their blood by them; the second the ten persecutions under the Heathen emperors; and the third, the errors and heresies which pestered the churches of those times: nor indeed do they concern the state of the church at all; though it seems much more likely that the first four trumpets should bring in; as others have thought, the several heresies of Arius, Macedonius, Pelagius, and Eutyches, which sprung up before the rise of Mahomet, who appears under the fifth trumpet. But all the six trumpets have to do with the empire as Christian; for as the six seals are so many steps towards the destruction of the empire as Pagan, and the vials bring on the ruin of Rome Papal; so the six trumpets are so many gradual advances to the ruin of the empire, now Christian: and it must be observed, that the Emperor Theodosius, at his death, left the empire divided between his two sons, Arcadius and Honorius, the eastern part of it, which had Constantinople for its seat, to the former, and the western part of it, which had Rome for its seat, to the latter; now the first four trumpets bring in a barbarous people out of the north, the Goths, Huns, and Vandals, into the western part, who, by various incursions and wars, at last utterly destroy it; and the fifth and sixth trumpets bring in the Saracens under Mahomet, and the Turks into the eastern part, who took possession of that, and have kept it unto this day. (This was published in 1747, Ed.) A preparation being made, the angels begin to sound their trumpets.

Apocalipsis 8:6 In-Context

4 Y el humo del incienso de las oraciones de los santos subió de la mano del ángel delante de Dios

5 Y el ángel tomó el incensario, y lo llenó del fuego del altar, y lo echó en la tierra; y fueron hechos truenos, y voces, y relámpagos, y temblor de tierra

6 Y los siete ángeles que tenían las siete trompetas, se aparejaron para tocar trompeta

7 Y el primer ángel tocó la trompeta, y fue hecho granizo, y fuego mezclado con sangre, y fueron enviados en la tierra, y la tercera parte de los árboles fue quemada, y toda la hierba verde fue quemada

8 Y el segundo ángel tocó la trompeta, y como un gran monte ardiendo con fuego fue lanzado en el mar; y la tercera parte del mar fue vuelta en sangre
