This Part 3 of 3 sermons is classic Protestant historicism as Gavin discusses the 7 trumpets of Rev. 8-11. He finds the 1st 4 trumpets look to the fall of Rome as the capital city of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. The 1st trumpet tells of the Visigoths who under Alaric sacked Rome in 410; the 2nd trumpet of the Huns under Attila attacking the Western Roman Empire 451-2. The 3rd trumpet tells of the Vandals under Genseric attacking Rome in 455. The 4th trumpet tells of the fall of Rome & Western Roman Empire in 476. The 5th & 6th trumpets then look to the fall of Constantinople as the capital city of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453, with the 5th trumpet dating from the preaching of the false prophet, Mohammed in 613, & ending after the 5 month prophecy of Rev. 9:5,10 as 150 day-years with the establishment of Baghdad as a Mohammedan capital city in 762, an event which ends the Mohammedan Saracen Woe, as the Islamic locusts settle down with the establishment of Baghdad as the "City of Peace." Then under the 6th trumpet comes the Mohammedan Turkic Woe, which under the 391 day-year prophecy and description in Rev. 9:15-19 terminates with the siege and fall of the capital city of the Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire, Constantinople in 1453 AD. Then under the 7th trumpet is Christ's Second Advent. The first 4 trumpets are relevant to the rise of the Papal Roman Antichrist & Romanist delusion (II Thess. 2:6; Rev. 11:2,3), & the 5th & 6th trumpets tell of the rise of the Mohammedan delusion. Thus we are especially warned in the Biblical apocalyptic of Daniel & Revelation of these 2 big false religions of Roman Catholicism & Islam which claim to represent Jesus' teachings.
