As we continue examining the blowing of the fifth trumpet, we learn that there are demonic forces in this world – a kingdom of Satan, just like there is a Kingdom of God! In this case, God allows some demonic spirits to be released from the bottomless pit to torment the wicked. These evil spiritual forces also afflict the people of God in this time world, but of course they cannot affect their eternal destination. Ultimately, God’s people will be eternally saved, although they may experience troubles here and now!
