We are in a spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. We have the greatest weapon in this battle: Prayer. Our prayers rise to the throne of God and are answered by our Sovereign Lord.

Revelation 7 shows us the ways that the Lamb shows mercy during the Great Tribulation.
1. Some are selected and sealed by the Lamb
2. Many saved for and standing before the Lamb
3. All the saved are sheltered and shepherded by the Lamb

When Jesus opens the fifth and sixth seals of the scroll that contains the consummation of history, two main results follow: The saved stand before the throne of God rejoicing in their salvation; and the unsaved fall before the Throne of God regretting their damnation.

The Sovereign King witnessed by John in chapters four and five is the ONE now opening seals of the Scroll. The Scroll contains God’s plan for the consummation of all things. One by one seals are opened. Christ the King commissions four horseman. Each of the four are symbols of forces that bring unprecedented and worldwide cataclysms. The chaos of the world will prove that things are not out of control. They are in the control of our sovereign Lord occupying an eternal Throne. He is crowned with many Crowns!

The subject of this text encompasses one great theme: the redemption of creation.

God alone is worthy of eternal Worship because of who He is and what He has done, is doing, and will do.
