No - not all of them.

You asked: Have These Seven Trumpets Already Blown ? What do you think? Do you believe THIS happened already?
As I understand it, my group believes that the first 3 have ALREADY *BEGUN* blown and relate to the environment where science backs up the claim that at least 1/3rd of vegetation, the sea, and fresh water are lifeless. So for us the signs are a matter of hindsight. John saw these things in a heavenly setting and these things were basically a series of visions showing the end result and not literally how it would happen. A big hang up for most folks is they expect fire and brimstone supernatural fireworks to happen for it to be a bonefide judgement. But look back to how the Assyrian empire was conquered: the Lord used Babylon. Look how the Babylonians were conquered: by the Medes-Persians. Yet no one would dare sugget it wasn't by the Lord's hand - except for maybe folks like the Assyrian king who boasted to Hezekiah that it was by his own hand. Cyrus didn't let that victory go to his head as something he did when presented with the prophecy that predicted what he just participated in. So it can happen by man and still be considered from God. So the trumpets so far have been a judgement in this vein. That said I'm all for taking care of the environment and will try not to buy a gas guzzling car in the fall (getting a Toyota Yaris I think). The sequence and timing is another huge hangup for folks will likely have about this position. Given the scattered nature of how prophecy is presented throughout scripture (we know what Peter quoted from Joel is still happening today), we shouldn't expect everything to have to fit into a strict linear timeline. God revealed this in bits and peices when alluding to Pentecost in the OT. Our western mind gets confused as to the fact that these visions John saw about he seals/trumpets/bowls is presented in a cycles in the same vein as the book of Hebrews makes when presenting Jesus as superior to the things that foreshadowed Him.
The 7 seals and 7 bowls focus on things other than the environment. The trumpets focus on the environment. So there's no lineral sequence of all the seals having to open first before any trumpets can begin to sound. No. With this in mind we should expect there to be parallels and overlaps. The first trumpet doesn't have to finish before the second one can start sounding. It's a rising crescendo of other instruments sounding in harmony that the Lord is coming. We don't claim to know what the 4th trumpet will be. No one will know until after it happens. A volcano, "global dimming", some man-made thing that causes the light to diminish? Who knows? Only the Lord, and everyone else left behind looking back in hindsight. All we know for sure is that this is when the rapture happens, and the Church is spared the last 3 woes. No one will know until afterwards, and so there's not much point speculating.
Again we believe these trumpets continue to blow and we haven't seen all the details (e.g. 1/3rd of the ships might be something like less boats and/or a series of tsunamis, etc). Perhaps this happens later after the 4th trumpet begins sounding.. it's clearly not finished yet.
The 4th trumpet ties into a lot of the verses surrounding the "day of the Lord" in terms of the imagery about things like the "sun","moon","stars","dark clouds", less "light", etc. That trumpet has not yet sounded. That trumpet - as far as the CHURCH is concerned is the last trumpet.
Again the last 3 trumpets are the 3 woes those who remain after the rapture - at which at that point begins and lasts 7 years. So we believe in a pre-trib rapture, but not like the typical pre-tribbers do who are stuck with this western mindset of how the seals/trumpets/bowls sequence ought to be. So we've been living through the trumpets all this time, and that certainly hasn't led me to believe that Christ is beating up His Bride/Church or loves us any less. I can see many having a problem with this position as well.
Daniel's 70th week still fits into all of that and isn't contradicted by this either. The trumpets began sounding somewhere between the late 1800s and early 1900s with the world wars and other conflicts fitting into the category of the 2nd seal, etc.
The 1st seal we believe is the huge resurrgence in the Holy Spirit's operation and revivals in that time period. During the time of Exodus Egypt experienced curses, while Israel experienced blessings. So that neatly explains to me why we can have a white (blessings) and 3 other horses which are not blessings.
That's a lot of info, so I'll stop there. It's also not something we focus heavily on. I had to pick a lot of brains on the above and we tend to play down escatology and not let that become a heavy obsession to distract us from praying for more people to come to Christ and be saved.
It's a position that I had not come across before and explains things well to me. All that said who knows what can happen to us tommorow: sickness, accidents, cancer, etc. Our last day can happen long before the rapture, so I don't see a lot of value in arguing about stuff like escatology. It's fascinating, but serves as a background to the moment in which we live today. The primary objective is to be fishers of men for Christ. The rapture happens at some point, and so that's enough info for anyone who desires to be forever with Christ.
What matters is hearing the voice of the Lord, His Holy Spirit, and the directions being given how to reach others who have not yet heard His voice. So they can know true joy and peace and be above the discomforts of this life. The trumpets are sounding, but I'm happy as can be and not affected in terms of my hope for what wonderful things God has for His faithful.
That's my understanding of what my group believes.
