How much time may pass between the trumpet judgments?
The time between the trumpet judgments is not a matter of hours; it will probably be a matter of days or weeks. The events keep getting closer and closer as they move toward the end, so the intervals are relatively short.
Les explains that between the first and second trumpet judgments, the passage says it is not going to be a matter of hours but probably a matter of days or weeks. He notes that the events will keep getting closer and closer as they move up to the end. The first trumpet brought hail and fire mingled with blood, burning a third of the trees and all green grass, and the second trumpet brings a great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea, turning a third part of the sea to blood. Les compares the first trumpet to the Exodus plague of fire and hail and suggests there will be psychological warfare as people witness these things happening one right after the other. He also mentions possible meteorites hitting the earth.
