In this message, Pastor Jake continues our series through the book of Revelation, unpacking Revelation 6:12–17 and Revelation 7 to answer a crucial question raised at the end of chapter 6:

“For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (Revelation 6:17)

Revelation 7 serves as a powerful interlude between the sixth and seventh seals, revealing:

• The 144,000 servants of God, sealed on their foreheads (Revelation 7:1–8)
• A great multitude that no one could count, from “every nation, tribe, people and language” standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Revelation 7:9–10)

In this sermon, we explore:

• How the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls each describe the period between Christ’s first and second comings from different angles (Revelation 6–8; Revelation 8–11; Revelation 15–16)
• Why the New Testament describes the entire church age as tribulation, not only a brief period at the end (John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Romans 8:18–25)
• How God’s judgment often looks like letting our false refuges fail (Romans 1:24–28; Galatians 6:7–8; Jeremiah 2:13)
• What it means to be sealed with the seal of the living God (Revelation 7:2–3; Ephesians 1:13–14; 2 Corinthians 1:21–22) in contrast to bearing the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16–18)
• The symbolic meaning of the 144,000 and why this represents the fullness of God’s people, not a limited ethnic subset (Revelation 7:4–8; Revelation 14:1–5)
• The connection between what John hears (the numbered 144,000) and what he sees (the uncountable multitude), and how both images point to the same redeemed people (Revelation 5:5–6; Revelation 7:4, 9)
• The contrast between those who hide from the face of God and the Lamb (Revelation 6:15–17) and those who stand before the throne in white robes (Revelation 7:9, 15)
• How our identity and allegiance—not our social status, politics, or tribal labels—determine whether we stand in the day of judgment (Philippians 3:7–11; Colossians 3:1–4; 1 Peter 2:9–10)

We also meditate on the stunning promise given to those who belong to the Lamb:

“Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
He will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
(Revelation 7:16–17)

If you’ve ever prayed, “How long, Lord?” (Revelation 6:10; Psalm 13:1–2; Habakkuk 1:2), this message will call you out of hiding and back into your God-given destiny—to follow the Lamb, bear His mark, and stand in His righteousness, not your own (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:1–2; Hebrews 10:19–23).

In this rich message on Revelation 4–6, Dr. David Campbell helps listeners recover the true pastoral and hopeful heart of the book of Revelation. Drawing deeply from the Old Testament, he shows how John’s vision of the heavenly throne room (Revelation 4–5) fulfills and unifies earlier prophetic visions from Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1–3, and Daniel 7, 9, and 12.

Key themes in this sermon include:

- The heavenly scroll in God’s hand (Revelation 5:1) as the unsealed fulfillment of Ezekiel’s scroll of judgment (Ezekiel 2:9–10) and Daniel’s sealed book (Daniel 12:4, 9), now opened because “the time is near” (Revelation 1:1–3).  
- Jesus as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” (Genesis 49:9–10; Revelation 5:5) and the “Root of David” (Isaiah 11:1, 10; Revelation 5:5), who conquers not by the sword but as the slain Lamb (Isaiah 53; John 1:29; Revelation 5:6–10).  
- How the Lamb “as though slain” (Revelation 5:6) continues to be present in the ongoing sufferings of His body, the church (Colossians 1:24; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 4:12–13).  
- The church as the true “kingdom of priests” (Exodus 19:5–6; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:5–6; 5:9–10), not by replacement, but by fulfillment in Christ of all God’s covenant promises (2 Corinthians 1:20; Galatians 3:7–9, 26–29).  
- The four sets of seven judgments—seals, trumpets, visions of conflict, and bowls (Revelation 6–16)—as parallel, cyclical pictures of the entire church age (Matthew 24:4–14; Luke 21:9–19), from Christ’s ascension (Acts 1:9–11; Ephesians 1:20–23) to His return (Revelation 19–21).  
- God’s sovereign use of suffering and judgment to warn unbelievers and purify believers (Ezekiel 14:12–23; Romans 8:18, 28–30; Hebrews 12:5–11; 1 Peter 1:6–7).  
- A corrective to fearful, dispensational end-times speculation about a secret rapture and a seven-year tribulation (compare 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 2 Thessalonians 1:5–10; Matthew 24:29–31), emphasizing instead Christ’s present reign and the ongoing advance of the gospel to all nations (Matthew 24:14; Revelation 7:9–10).  
- The Bible’s great storyline from Eden lost to Eden restored: from the first garden-temple (Genesis 1–3) to the final garden-city, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21–22), where God’s presence is fully and forever restored (Revelation 21:3–5; 22:1–5).

This message will challenge your eschatology, deepen your confidence in God’s sovereignty (Revelation 1:8; 4:11; 22:13), and invite you into a life of cross-shaped, counter-cultural discipleship (Mark 8:34–35; Romans 12:1–2) as those who follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Revelation 14:4).
