Did you know Christ gave us 3 Woe periods to mark the Signs of the end with the last 3 Trumpets? Each one of the last 3 trumpets includes a woe with it. And each one represents a period of time that has specific Signs leading up to Christ's return and the end of this present world.

Rev 8:13
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"
KJV


Here are the sections of Revelation scripture showing the order of the Signs in the last 3 trumpets:

Revelation 9:1-12 = 5th Trumpet - 1st Woe period:
This 1st period represents the starting of the locust army working against God's people. It is not about a literal military army; it is about the workers of iniquity who work the endtime events for their god, Satan. One-world globalists would easily fall into that category, as Satan's plan is to setup a one-world beast kingdom over all nations for the very end of this world. Some of the descriptions of these locusts carry over into the next Woe period.

Revelation 9:12 through Revelation 11:13 = 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe period:
This period begins with the symbolic border Euphrates river being dried up, and the four angels loosed to slay a third part of men. Then the metaphorical locusts are mentioned again coming like an army (see Book of Joel), with indicators to the priestly breastplate, and their power being in their 'mouths' (words causing deception). This represents the time of "great tribulation", the latter 1260 days of the Daniel 9:27 "one week" when the "abomination of desolation" idol will be setup in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. It continues all the way into the Revelation 11 chapter up to the time when God's two witnesses arise. (The Rev.10 chapter is parenthestical, like a sideline description of some of the events while giving other events also).

Revelation 11:13-18 = 6th Trumpet - 3rd Woe period:
This section is about the Sign of the great earthquake to occur in Jerusalem on the day of Christ's return, per Zechariah 14. It also declares all the kingdoms of this world becoming those of The Father and His Christ with His reign, which is another Sign of Christ's appearance. We are told it is the time of His wrath, and the nations being angry (because of His appearance), and His rewards to His servants. This is the final Sign Jesus gave about the day of His coming that He told us to be on Watch for.

So there it is, another relative study that links directly to our Lord Jesus' command for His Church to "watch" the Signs HE GAVE US leading up to His return at the end of this world (Matthew 24; Mark 13).
