The seven churches and the seven seals are now succeeded…
““The seven churches and the seven seals are now succeeded by the seven trumpets. To the seven churches, Christ manifests himself as Priest, Prophet, and King; in the seven seals we see him as Prophet, King, and Priest; but in the Trumpets he is King, Priest, and Prophet. As Priest he tended the lamps, as Prophet he foretold the destiny of the church and the world, and as King he rules and judges.””
