The Fourth Trumpet/Vial
Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet. A third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that their light lost a third of its brightness; there was no light during a third of the day and a third of the night also.
(Revelation 8:12) Good News Translation
Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to burn people with its fiery heat. They were burned by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God, who has authority over these plagues. But they would not turn from their sins and praise his greatness.
(Revelation 16:8-9) Good News Translation
The vials of wrath poured out on the Earth aren’t God being intentionally mean. They are all of the energy of destruction that God has held back from the earth so that we can live lives of relative peace and security.
