15-Locusts and Horsemen (Revelation 9:1-21)

Last week we studied the first four Trumpet judgments.

Today we will study the 5^th and 6^th Trumpet judgments, called the three woes (Woe means "A state of deep sorrow or grief.")

 A comparison with the 10 Plagues of Egypt.  What was God’s purpose in the 10 Plagues of Egypt?   What is God’s purpose in the Great Tribulation?     

In this vision it is clear, despite God’s increasingly severe judgments upon the world, that the wicked maintain their refusal to repent. There is a purpose of love behind the judgments. They are to make plain the seriousness and final end of sin. They are to lead people to repent, to turn to God and be saved.
