Before going to temporary, anticipatory sleep in the Lord Jesus Christ, Marvin Moore, a veteran writer and theologian, has crafted an intriguing treatise on one of most challenging passages in the beloved apostle's Apocalypse. The Seven Trumpets of Revelation will exhort readers to diligently, prayerfully study these striking themes and carefully evaluate the author's proposals and conclusions.
Moore early asserted his support of Adventism's adoption of historicism as the proper mechanism for prophetic interpretation. Nevertheless, he went on to meticulously unpack his reasons for identifying differences between the trumpets and other visions that would otherwise follow the John-to-the-end or Daniel-to-the-end pattern. Though he was firm in articulating his findings, he still expected and welcomed disagreement with his customary grace.
Regardless of how readers process the specificities of Moore's deductions, they will resonate with his emphasis on personal preparedness and practical recommendations to that effect. One way or another, cataclysmic events will continue to unfold, and God has given His people-the whole world-sufficient forewarning to validate the trustworthiness of His Word and the surety of Jesus' imminent, victorious return.
