In chapters 8-11, the scroll is finally opened, and angels begin sounding seven trumpets. In the Old Testament, trumpets called people to battle — and more specifically, called God to battle on behalf of his people. The imagery that comes from these seven trumpets reminds us of another time God fought to bring victory to his people through the ten plagues against Egypt. Meanwhile, John is given a bittersweet message that shows God’s people are kept safe but that judgment is coming for all who do not take shelter in the Lamb.
