Future Event Number Nine: The Seven Trumpet Judgments
Future Event Number Nine:
The Seven Trumpet Judgments
The second trance of judgments is called the seven trumpet judgments, which are more terrible than the seven seal judgments and are specifically aimed at the sponsors and fans of the antichrist.

Here the star from heaven is a fiery messenger from God specifically targeted at one third of the fresh water resources of the world and this at a time when fresh water is in perilous shortage following droughts and other devastations. Men are forced to drink the bitter liquid much like thirsty cattle driven to drink polluted water and with the same outcome: lingering
