Mark continued in The Study of Revelation with the 7 visions that happen in parallel construction.

The focus of today’s lesson is the interlude period: the sixth seal and the sixth trumpet prior to the second coming. This age of the church period is a call and a warning for people to repent before it's too late.

Mark also taught about the “little" scroll that the angel of God shows to John and asks him to eat it.

The scroll tastes like honey in his mouth but becomes bitter in the stomach, symbolizing that following Jesus is sweet but the world turns against the Christian.

Points for home:

 God is in control

 Let us be witnesses

 Be at peace

Listen to Mark talk about how God’s justice is coming with a reminder there are things at play in the universe that we don’t understand. Mark shares the biblical meaning of symbols and what it meant to a church who faces persecution then and today. Be encouraged.
