(8: 6--7) </Li> <Li> Second Trumpet: Something that resembles a great mountain, burning with fire, falls from the sky and lands in the ocean . It kills a third of the sea creatures and destroys a third of the ships at sea .

(10: 1--11) <Ol> <Li> An angel appears, with one foot on the sea and one foot on the land, having an opened little book in his hand . </Li> <Li> Upon the cry of the angel, seven thunders utter mysteries and secrets that are not to be written down by John . </Li> <Li> John is instructed to eat the little scroll that happens to be sweet in his mouth, but bitter in his stomach, and to prophesy . </Li> <Li> John is given a measuring rod to measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there . </Li> <Li> Outside the temple, at the court of the holy city, it is trod by the nations for forty - two months (3 1 / 2 years). </Li> <Li> Two witnesses prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.

There are lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail . </Li> </Ol> </Li> </Ol> </Li> <Ol> <Li> First Trumpet: Hail and fire, mingled with blood, are thrown to the earth burning up a third of the trees and green grass .
