Anyone like to explain and 7 trumpets, the bowls and the seals? I've always been so confused and never really understood exactly what they are, and in what order they will happen.

Well, that's a mighty task you've put out there, Miss Moderator. I am sort of in and out, but we can probably do a seal or 2 every few days.

LOL...I love that face!!!!!!!!!! Yea, a seal or two every few days sounds good to me.
Signs for us to know when the time is near. The three woes.
Simplistic version: Three succesive sets of 7 judgements. The completion of one set "appearing" to precede the starting of the next set.
The seal, trumpet, and bowl judgements each progressively worse than the last set.
After the last bowl judgement in chap 16, chapters 17-22 Give a summary of things spanning the previous few thousand years, and future past the millenial reign and the final judgement. Some things are explained in more detail here than you will find elwhere.

The simple direct answer to your original question of "What are the 7 seals, trumpets and bowls and in what order will they occur?"
Answer: They are all parts of the judgments and wrath of God, (still waiting to be fulfilled), and happen in the order of seals, then trumpets, then bowls.
Maybe that was simpler now that I think of it. lol
For the purpose of? That's another question.
An answer that would actually fully satisfy you would require a study of the Bible as a whole and then Revelation as a whole.
(IMHO) An understanding of the New Testament allows a greater understanding (and ease of learning) of the Old Testament. And an understanding of the Old Testament allows a greater understanding (and ease of learning) of the book of Revelation and specifically the judgments and wrath of God.
Unless you are Jewish in which knowing the old assists in knowing the new, but I digress.
Judgments and wrath of God. Scary stuff, but not for us!

Yea, I guess I'll just have to wait till we get to Revelation in our bible study class. I just hate to wait!!!!!!!!!! LOL!
I truly hated to leave you with just that, but it is not a small question, and can't be explained in short answer. But I guarantee what I said about the study thing is true. Revelation is steeped deeply in OT quotations and "common knowledge". But the OT feasts and celbrations and ordinances are not necesarily comon knowledge to the modern day Christian. All of it was a foreshadow of Christ. If we understand the OT more fully, then Hebrews and Revelation opens up to us.
I must admit that my own understanding is so limited when I see the scope of what there is that can be learned from the Bible. I'm only scratching the surface.
