Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Audible Return

The verse describes an angel speaking about future trumpet sounds and woes for earth's inhabitants, not the return of Christ. The "voices of the trumpet" refer to the actions of other angels, not Christ's own audible return.

Symbolic / Figurative Language

While the verse contains a prophetic warning, the "woe, woe, woe" and the "voices of the trumpet" are direct declarations and sounds, not inherently symbolic or figurative in the same way as beasts or horns.
