I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

Now the seven angels holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

saying to the sixth angel, the one holding the trumpet, “Set free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying directly overhead, proclaiming with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth because of the remaining sounds of the trumpets of the three angels who are about to blow them!”

After these things I looked, and there was a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said: “Come up here so that I can show you what must happen after these things.”
