“The placement of the three woes establishes a very important fact: the first six seals do not correspond equally to the first six trumpets nor to the first six bowls. The fact that the completion of woes one and two follows trumpets five and six, respectively, clearly and unmistakably demands a chronological sequence to the seals, trumpets, and bowls. The seventh seal inaugurates the seven trumpets. The seventh trumpet inaugurates the seven bowls. The intensity of God’s wrath demonstrated in the fifth, sixth and seventh trumpets is unparalleled in the first six seals and the first four trumpets. Therefore, the clear dissimilarity between the seals, trumpets, and bowls demonstrates that they are not coincidental and in fact proves them to be chronological in sequence” (emphasis mine).
