Revelation 11 brings us to the end of a major section in the book. As this section wraps up we will see the call and identity of Jesus' Church in this period of redemptive history.
On this Good Friday we go back to the early hours of the first and join Jesus in the garden where we see His agony and temptation as well as His strength that fortified Him for the cross.
In Revelation 10 we begin another interlude in the flow of the book. In the midst of increasingly intensifying imagery our attention is briefly redirected so that we can remember the place and purpose of the Church in the middle of all of this.
In Revelation 9 trumpets five and six are blown. The judgments released are more intense than anything seen to this point. How are we to understand God's hand in all of this? What does it mean to have the seal of God on our foreheads? And what role does Satan play here as the vision unfolds?
As we turn our attention to Revelation 8 we will be faced with more images of God's judgment. How are we to understand who God is in light of these things? What do these divine judgements tell us about the one who sits on the throne?
Chapter 6 ends with the most appropriate of questions: who can stand? Who is able to stand, in their own strength, before God on the throne and the wrath of the Lamb? In this message that takes us through chapter 7 we discover the answer.
In this message we transition from looking at the throne of God in chapter 4 to the Lamb of God in chapter 5. More specifically, we recognize four aspects of the Lamb - the Lamb's worthiness, weakness, way and worship of Him thereafter.
