Revelation 9:20,21

The rest of mankind. From this we see that the general meaning of these six Trumpets is clear. During the period of time which began with Christ's first Coming, and extends all the way to his Second Coming, our Lord Jesus Christ who is ruling all things as he is authorized by the Scroll of God's Decree (Revelation 5:7), will again and again punish those who persecute his church, by allowing [inflicting] disasters on every part of their life - both physical and spiritual. [But disasters in the Christian's life do not indicate punishment, as Jesus points out in Luke 13:1-5] Nor did those men repent. Man in general ignores the warning voices! Stubborn, foolish, man continues to violate the commandments of God by worshiping false gods (Revelation 9:20), and hating his fellow-man (Revelation 9:21). The un-repentance of mankind brings the Bowls of wrath poured out (Chapter s 15 & 16), and the final Day of Judgment. Delay is no longer possible!
