Proposition: The purpose of the trumpet visions in Revelation is to sound alarms, warning apostate idolaters and calling them to repentance.
Like the first four seals before them, and the first four bowls of wrath after them, the first four trumpets belong together, and together they are represented as destroying one third of the Land. Like the first four seals, the first four trumpets refer to the series of disasters that devastated the Land of Israel in the events leading up to the outbreak of the Jewish war against Rome and its conflict, that began in AD 66.
