Show notes for Week 5

Day 1: 8:1-6

In chapter 8, we are immediately whisked back into the midst of the seal judgments as the seventh and final seal is opened.

The final seal is what has held back the opening of the scroll that God the Father gave to Jesus, and as we see it opened, we will now hear trumpet blasts announce the judgments written within it.

Seventh Seal

Silence in heaven for 30 minutes: what does that look like?
Holy moment just like when Solomon dedicated the temple in 1 Kings 8: silence
The saints’ prayers are mixed with incense from heaven that release the trumpet judgments
Day 2: 8:7-13

First Trumpet

I don’t know what hail and fire look like, and being mixed with blood is a complete mystery, but it will be terrifying.
The world’s supply of firefighters will surely be put to the test and will be unable to stop the fires until 1/3 of all the trees and grass of earth burn.
Second Trumpet

Great mountain thrown into the sea: sounds like a comet or meteor
We will see a theme of thirds in the trumpet judgments
1/3 of the sea creatures die along with 1/3 of ocean-going vessels will be destroyed.
Is this one large meteor/comet, or is it many that this happens to 1/3 of the entire earth, or just one large part of the earth?
Third Trumpet

What exactly is meant by star is unknown, but it will surely be seen by all
Wormwood means sulfur. 1/3 of the fresh water will become undrinkable.
Like the sea, will this be 1/3 of the water worldwide, or a localized 1/3?
In addition to who has already died and who will be killed in the future, this undrinkable water will result in death.
Fourth Trumpet

How is a third of the sun struck? The moon? The stars?
Are the days getting shorter? Is the earth moving faster? Is there something in the sky blocking the light?
What kind of impact will this have on food, emotions, etc.?
Woe, Woe, Woe

If this all hasn’t been bad enough already, we are told that things are about to get much, much worse for the inhabitants of earth.

Day 3: 9:1-12

Fifth Trumpet

John again calls this thing a star that crashes to the earth
We quickly see that the angel wasn’t kidding about the “woe” - whatever the “abyss” is, it seems really horrible
What on earth are these locusts? Machines? Demonic creatures? Created beings reserved until this very moment?
We learned about a seal in chapter 7 - is this the same or something different? - We will soon understand
If you’re not terrified by these creatures, you’re not reading Revelation
Abaddon, Apollyon, Destroyer - these things are meant to destroy and torture, pure and simple
Day 4: 9:13-21

Sixth Trumpet

Four angels have had no duties in eternity except for this moment
They are captains over this vast army
Is this army human, angelic or demonic?
There were not 200 million people alive on earth in John’s day - unthinkable number, but John heard it specifically
1/3 of the earth will die by three plagues inflicted by these odd horses.
If you’re doing the math, 1/4 + 1/3 = 1/2. 1/2 of the earth has died between the seals and the bowls
We see clearly here that people know who is doing this, why He is doing it, and they still refuse to repent. Their rebellion is open and obvious—there is no confusion.
We will have another parenthetical section before the seventh trumpet, and we will see that this is a tremendous, holy moment for those watching from heaven. Whatever the last trumpet is, it is one of the greatest moments in human history. We will see that it is the culmination of the plans of God on earth—the greatness of His creation!

Day 1: 8:1-6

Day 1: 8:1-6

In chapter 8, we are immediately whisked back into the midst of the seal judgments as the seventh and final seal is opened.

Show notes for Week 4

Day 1: 6:1-8

In Revelation five, we saw God give Jesus the scroll with seven seals holding it closed. Now we will watch as Jesus pulls apart the scroll one seal at a time.

First Seal

John must look
Jesus is the one who gives authority to this conquerer
Much debate over the identity of this conquerer because of his white horse
Seals 1-4 are four aspects of this conquerer
This is the antichrist
As Jesus opens the first seal we hear the four living creatures shout “Come and see.” They say this as Jesus opens each seal. The implication here might be that John would be otherwise inclined to look away. What is going to take place is going to be confusing at first, but once the scroll has been opened, it will make sense.

In the first seal, Jesus is actually giving authority to a conquerer on a white horse to come forth in the earth. He is given a bow, but without an arrow or quiver. This is almost certainly a reference to the Antichrist, henceforth known as The Beast in Revelation. Many scholars disagree on this, and there are almost as many interpretations to who this rider is as there are books on the subject. The fact that this rider is on a white horse cause many to reject the idea of him being the Antichrist.

One of the the things that offends people about Jesus potentially releasing the Antichrist is when we understand what he will do intentionally to the saints. But one thing is clear and undeniable—it will be God who grants Him authority to conquer the earth and the saints specifically. We are told this plainly in Revelation 13:7.

It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

This brings up some very hard questions, but ones we must ask if we are to fully understand Revelation. Why would our loving God knowingly release a conquerer whose main objective is to oppress and kill God’s people? When we study this book, we will see why God is at no point less loving because of this, but we must not distance ourselves from the offense we feel at this. We must face it head-on, and God will answer us for it as we study His plan for the end of time.

This rider on a white horse seems to corroborate the image we are given of the Antichrist by Daniel—that he will be a deceiver who initially brings peace.

Second Seal

Now the conquerer makes use of his bow with ammunition. War breaks out and death begins.
With this seal, a red horse and rider are sent out. They will bring world-wide war on the earth. These horsemen may be literal or symbolic of different aspects of the Antichrist’s reign as it progresses. The similarities are striking.

Third Seal

Now this conquerer will have a hand in bringing scarcity
Could be intentional or a consequence of his wars from the second seal
This increases the hatred on earth as Paul references in 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
The third horse is now black, and he and his rider will bring scarcity on the earth. What he proclaims is that basically, a normal laborer’s day’s wages will by enough food to feed one person very meagerly. Some believe that the reference to not harming the oil and wine means that the wealthy of the earth will be untouched by this judgment, something that will deepen the growing hatred on earth as the Paul describes in 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8.

Fourth Seal

This next horse represents the color of dead flesh.
The amount of dead from this would amount to 1.75 billion people if it were to occur today
This will happen in a very short period of time, possibly two years or less
A pale horse and rider come next. This “pale” is a reference to the color of human skin when it is dead.
