Concerning the seven trumpets in Revelation chapters, I am inclined toward the perspective of futurists, which concludes that all of the described events will happen in the future. Within this approach, premillennialism and dispensationalism are the two substantial views that interpret the Revelation chapters slightly differently.
The former concerns the belief that Jesus will eventually return to his physical form, which supports the literal interpretation of the Bible. Dispensationalism also sustains the idea of literal translation but divides biblical history into periods in which God’s plans are administered.
Nevertheless, both perspectives align with the futuristic interpretation of the seven trumpets, assuming that the described natural disasters will occur in the future. Ultimately, I agree with the position of futurism and premillennialism since I find it the most convincing interpretation of the seven trumpets.
Consequently, I believe that experts do not have sufficient evidence to prove the validity of other perspectives. For instance, the preterist approach suggests that the described events had already occurred in the past.
However, in this case, the seven trumpets described in Revelation would not be relevant or moralistic for people in the present or the future. The historicist approach suggests that the depicted events are symbols of the future events in the history of the church.
Historicists do not recognize the literal interpretation of the Bible and merely compare the historical facts with the visual elements in Revelation. I find this approach to be unreliable since it is possible to match any of the occurred events in history with the seven trumpets through symbolization.
Lastly, I do not agree with the idealist approach since it has the same flaws as the historicist approach. It is generally unreliable and focuses on vague interpretations and comparisons between the Bible and historical events.
