Revelation 8:6

The seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
[After the sixth seal, the winds of the earth were held back, see Rev 7:1. Now that God's people have been marked with God's seal on their foreheads, the series of trumpet blasts continues. The first four are "natural" in that they affect the earth, the seas, the fresh waters, and the heavenly bodies. The last three affect humanity more directly.
There is a parallel to the creation in Genesis. Then the heavens, the seas, and the earth were created. Now creation is being dissolved. Interestingly, this happens in reverse order. First, one third of the earth's vegetation is affected, then the seas and fresh waters, and finally the heavens:
Trumpet 1 – 1/3 of the vegetation burns up, see Rev 8:7; Gen. 1:29.
Trumpet 2 & 3 – 1/3 of the seas and rivers are affected, see Rev 8:8–11; Genesis 1:20.
Trumpet 4 – 1/3 of the heavenly bodies are darkened, see Rev 8:12; Genesis 1:14–15.
The same opposite pattern to creation is also found in the seven bowls of wrath:
Bowl of wrath 1 – boils on people, see Rev 16:2; Gen. 1:27.
Bowls of wrath 2 & 3 – seas and fresh water turned to blood, see Rev 16:3–4; Gen. 1:20.
Bowl of wrath 4 – the sun scorches, see Rev 16:8; Gen. 1:14.]
