Here is an excerpt from a file I have here at the house concerning whether
the trumpets and seals and vials are in direct chronological order...I
thought I would submit it for your consideration...Some might agree...most
probably will not...I just thought I would offer it for your
reading...Please note that there may be assxertions made that are not
covered by this excerpt but are covered in other parts...


Some would say that Revelations is in order...and others would say it is
not.   I believe that the book of Revelations is not in chronological order.
It seems like each of the vials falls in a basic chronological order as do
each of the seals and each of the trumpets.  Each is a retelling of the same
period of time the other had just told.  For instance, the vials and the
trumpets may not be EXACTLY the same sequences of events but they cover the
same time span and all end up on the same day; the Great and Notable Day of
the Lord.

The Seventh Seal, Vial, and Trumpet all end up at the same event!

The 7th Seal - Revelations 8:5 - And  the angel took  the censor and filled
it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth: and there were voices
and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake.

The 7th Trumpet - Revelations 11:19 - And the temple of God was opened in
heaven and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there
were lightning and voices and thunderings and an earthquake and great hail.

Notice the language seems to be the same at the seventh trumpet.

The 7th Vial - Revelations 16:16-21 -  And he gathered them together into a
place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.  And the seventh angel poured
out his vial into the air and there came a great voice out of the  temple of
heaven from the throne saying It is done.  And there were voices and
thunderings and lightnings and there was a great earthquake such as was not
since men were upon the earth so might an earthquake and so great.  And the
great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the nations fell:
and great Babylon came in remembrance before God to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath .  And every
island fled away and the mountains were not found and there fell upon men a
great hail out of heaven every stone about the weight of a talent and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.

The 7th vial of Gods wrath is the fierceness of his wrath..This is when he
comes taking vengeance on those who destroy the earth.

Paul said he is going to  come in flaming fire taking vengeance on them who
know not God and obey not the gospel.  So it seems the seventh vial and seal
and trumpet all concur on the Last day.  The day of the fierceness of Gods
wrath.  The day of the "Last Trump".

Trumpet and Vials seem to be  nearly identical.

2nd Trumpet - Sea became blood 1/3 of all in the sea died.
2nd Vial        - Sea became blood ever soul died

3rd Trumpet - 1/3 part of rivers and water and wormwood fell into water.
            Note - Chernobyl means Wormwood.  Could indicate that Wormwood
would be                    something nuclear in nature.
3rd Vial        - The rivers and waters  became blood.

4th Trumpet - 1/3 of the sun moon and stars were smitten
4th Vial        -  Vial fell over the sun and it scorched men with fire.

5th Trumpet - TheBottomless pit was opened and locust released (possibly
demons)  Men
              desired death but could not die.  Locust couldn't touch those
who were               sealed with the seal of the spirit.  (The Bible
speaks of the Holy                   Ghost being the seal of the spirit)
Notice that the sealed are still                here but can't be touched.
We only have to fear the devils' wrath. He               knows that he only
has a short time.

 5th Vial  - Poured on the seat of the beast and they gnawed their tongues
for                    pain because of the sores.  The would seek death but
not have it.  But               the sealed were not touched.

Seven is Gods number of completion and Six is his number for preparation for
completion

6th Trumpet - Deals with Euphrates river drying up and the armies coming
across                    200,000,000 strong to slay 1/3 of men. The sixth
vial and the sixth                  trumpet are in  preparation for Armageddon.
6th Vial    - Euphrates rivers dries up to make way for the  kings of the
east to                  gather the whole world to battle.
