From Back Cover of When the Seventh Trumpet Sounds by Matt Harris

When the Seventh Trumpet Sounds is a modern day mini-epic piece that combines elements of both poetry and fiction. The poem weaves together a dystopian narrative of what society might look like in the last days on planet earth. As the story unfolds through the eyes of the poem’s speaker, who waits in a lengthy line trudging toward martyrdom at the guillotine, other colorful characters join the plot to move the action along, like for instance, the demented executioner, Mal-War, and the clueless pastor, Dr. Haywood Stubble.

Although the poem builds on end-time prophetic tropes from the past, this futuristic rendering of them takes a different pathway than many of the popular ones today based on pre-tribulation rapture theology. With that in mind, the title of this book gives a hint as to where the narrow pathway of the poem leads. When the Seventh Trumpet Sounds is a blast from the future that will help enlighten, encourage, and educate its readers to look beyond our temporal world to the eternal one—where every person in the human race now waits in a lengthy line to enter.
