Manly Luscombe Commentary on NT
Revelation 9 - Introduction
Introduction
1. We now move to the second half of the trumpets. The first four focused on warnings to Christians who might, under persecution or false teaching, abandon their faithfulness.
2. The next three trumpets sound warnings that only affect those who are followers of Satan. All that Christians have to do to avoid these last three warnings is to remain true, loyal and faithful to Christ.
3. The fifth trumpet is the only one that does not deal with the “third part” of man. Therefore, this one deals with man’s physical life. The sixth trumpet affects the spiritual part of man.
