Christians would you agree that Trumpet 5 and Trumpet 6 speak of the same army?
portal.nnkl.com1 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming, it is near, 2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations. 3 Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them. 4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses they run. 5 As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle. 6 Before them peoples are in anguish, all faces grow pale. 7 Like warriors they charge, like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way, they do not swerve from their paths. 8 They do not jostle one another, each marches in his path; they burst through the weapons and are not halted. 9 They leap upon the city, they run upon the walls; they climb up into the houses, they enter through the windows like a thief. 10 The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 11 The LORD utters his voice before his army, for his host is exceedingly great; he that executes his word is powerful. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it?
Now in revelation 9:1-11
1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; 2 he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; 4 they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; 5 they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. 6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them. 7 In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad'don, and in Greek he is called Apol'lyon.
This makes me believe that the army of trumpet 5 is the same army of trumpet 6.Only that in trumpet 5 its job is making ground in world polarized by those for god and those against him. Notice in verse 4 they were told not to harm those sealed by God. This means that for 5 months it will be consolidating its conquest of the unchristian sphere of the world. It will be oppressive and brutal but will not kill it s victims (the ideal would be to swell numbers by conscripts moreover it s real target is resistance to the anti-Christ in any shape or form). Thus those conquered by it will search for death and not find it.
Now from when their swelling of conscripts is complete . The army starts to attack the rest of the world (believers and unbelievers) killing one third of humanity. I view that the emphasis of trumpet 6 is not on the army (since it has already been described in trumpet 5) but on the weaponry. Besides Chapter 9 verse 10(trumpet 5) is identical to verse 19(trumpet 6)
The darkness of trumpet 4, Bowl 5 are the same darkness spoken of in seal 6 .Seal 6 speaks of an earthquake beyond all imagining which is the same earthquake and hailstorm in Trumpet 7 and bowl 7 and also amazingly in sync with the judgment in Ezekiel 38:18-22 whereby even the hail with fire is the same as that of the first trumpet (of Rev 8)
That was Trumpet 7 and bowl 7 is synonymous with the 2nd advent of the Lord spoken of in Matthew 24:29-31 and another vivid description of 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18
