What Does This Mean?

An angel is flying through heaven and shouting a warning to the people on earth about three more trumpet blasts that will bring even worse trouble.

Explained for Children

Imagine an angel like a big, loud megaphone floating in the sky telling everyone below that they are going to have some really tough times coming up. It's a bit like when your mom warns you it’s time to clean your room but much scarier!

Living It Out Today

When facing difficult times, like a major health scare or financial crisis, remember that there are always people who care and can support you through it just as this angel is warning to prepare for tougher times ahead.
