The Seven Seals
These are given in order of importance, not chronological order, until the 6th seal. Then, the 6th seal, 6th trump, and 6th vial (666) align, at which time Michael boots Satan, playing his role as the antichrist (instead of Christ in the Greek), from heaven to earth. Therefore, the most important thing for Christians to know is that the antichrist comes here before Christ returns. Those who don't know this will be deceived by and worship Satan (mark of the beast), not Christ.

The seals in your forehead, which means in your mind, are for your preservation and to prepare your mind for what will happen. There will be no surprises, during the end times, for those who God has sealed. Without the seals, or you could say, without God's Word in your mind, you will not know how to overcome, for example, the antichrist's flood of lies.

These are also given in Mark 13, Luke 21, and Matthew 24. The number one warning given there is do not let any man deceive you.

The Seven Trumpets
This means to execute the orders, to get it done, and to let you know it's time.

The first six trumpets and seals of Revelation are Satan's deceptions that will be brought upon the earth; however, the seventh trumpet will bring on the woes of God, which will shake this old earth to its very foundation. This is also New Testament. When God shakes the earth in a spiritual way, only those that are attached to Him will not be shaken. Hebrews 12:17-29 speaks of this time of the shaking, when all of God's elect and those saved will be made perfect.

The Seven Vials (a broad shallow cup)
The action takes place here. Or, you could say that this is where the rubber meets the road. God pours His wrath out on His enemies (satan, the fallen angles, and those with the mark of the beast), not on those He’s sealed ... those who love and obey Him.

Nice article.
I did not know how you got to say this one though.
