Revelation 8:7 - 10, 13

The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of thea ships were destroyed.

Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!"

The world despises God although He is their creator and much of Christendom ignores what the Holy Spirit has written of what is to come; so we observe that the majority laugh when believers point out the prophecy of the coming judgement of God is drawing near. God's wrath upon humankind will be fulfilled; both upon Israel who rejected her Messiah and the Nations (gentiles) who hung him on the cross. Believers have nothing to fear – those baptised by the Holy Spirit are sealed by Him and will enter into his presence – they are not to be judged again for their sin, albeit will need to give an account before Christ of their works (1 Corinthians 3:13).

The passage here shows the wrath of God poured out on the physical universe. Those who do not comprehend the sinfulness of sin and the real fact sin impacts the physical environment (Genesis 3:17-19; Jeremiah 12:11; Romans 8:22 etc.) will learn too late their greed, covetousness, dishonest gain, sexual immorality and all other sin (Ephesians 5:5 etc.) has corrupted the entire universe. God will exercise His right of vengeance for rejecting His son Jesus Christ.

It is not not too late for you to turn to the Creator of this Universe and seek Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the world's saviour (John 3:16; Romans 10:12-13; 1 Timothy 2:3-6 etc.) and believe that this Jesus the Son of God died, was buried and rose again because you are a sinner needing salvation from God's wrath.
