Heaven: The Trumpets of Heaven
Tuesday, January 13, 2026 – Day 11
Read Revelation 8-9
Key Verse:
“But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their
hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can
neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their [a]sorceries or their
sexual immorality or their thefts.” Revelation 9:20-21 (NKJV)
Key Reflection:
The woes of the trumpets detail the destruction of creation. The woes are challenging to understand
and may be hard to handle. Yet, this is the will of God. Earth will be compromised and destroyed. And
God will do it. Unfortunately, everyone will not repent and cry out to God. Some will be stubborn and
not yield to God even when creation is being devastated. They will allow their pride to keep them in sin
because they follow the lead of the evil one.
Thought:
The need for repentance is the consistent and insistent theme for humanity in Revelation. 17 This is the
response from humanity that God requires. None of us are above the need to repent. God had given us
this gift of repentance through Christ. When humanity does not repent it essentially says that the
worship of God is optional. Let us never be found guilty of unrepentance. For if we are we are
condemning ourselves to destruction.

Prayer:
Lord, I have no desire to live pridefully before you. I do not want to be in the number of those who do
not repent. I willingly confess my sins before you daily. I long for the release from the troubles of this
world so I offer myself to you. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness as I confess my sins before you. Rid my
life of all idols that compete for your glory. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Questions:
1. Is there unrepentance in your life? If so, why?
2. How can you ensure that you continually offer repentance to God?
