SECTION 77

12 Q. What are we to understand by the sounding of the ^atrumpets, mentioned in the 8th chapter of Revelation?
A. We are to understand that as God ^bmade the world in six days, and on the seventh day he finished his work, and ^csanctified it, and also formed man out of the ^ddust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years will the Lord God ^esanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man, and ^fjudge all things, and shall ^gredeem all things, except that which he hath not put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things; and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years—the ^hpreparing of the way before the time of his coming.
