The seventh seal in the Book of Revelation unveils seven trumpet plagues, each announcing catastrophic end-time events. When Jesus Christ breaks this final seal, heaven falls silent for thirty minutes before seven angels receive their trumpets.

These seven trumpet plagues unfold in sequence:

First Trumpet:

• Hail and fire mixed with blood rain down
• One-third of trees and all grass burn up

Second Trumpet:

• Something like a burning mountain crashes into the sea
• One-third of sea life dies
• One-third of ships destroyed

Third Trumpet:

• A star called "Wormwood" falls on rivers and springs
• Waters become bitter
• Many people die from contaminated water

Fourth Trumpet:

• One-third of sun, moon, and stars darkened
• Day and night partially darkened

Fifth Trumpet (First Woe):

• Locust-like creatures emerge from a bottomless pit
• Given power to torment people for five months
• Cannot harm those with God's seal

Sixth Trumpet (Second Woe):

• 200-million-strong army released
• One-third of humanity killed
• Survivors still refuse to repent

Seventh Trumpet (Third Woe):

• Announces Christ's return
• Triggers seven final plagues
• Marks the beginning of God's kingdom on Earth

These events follow the previous six seals, including the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the martyrdom of saints, and cosmic disturbances, completing the prophetic timeline of Revelation.
