Question

How do trumpets 5-7 (the three "woes") differ structurally from trumpets 1-4? What is the role of the trumpet interlude (the little book and the two witnesses, Rev 10:1-11:14)? How does the seventh trumpet's kingdom announcement (Rev 11:15-18) function as both climax and transition? What is the relationship between the seventh trumpet and the bowls?
