  • National Israel, Satan, and Jesus in Revelation

    National Israel, Satan, and Jesus in Revelation

    With the blasting of the seventh trumpet, we saw that the kingdom of Christ was at hand, and all authority was given to Jesus in His incarnation. He began to rule as the federal head of creation in His incarnation, a reality which necessarily begins His millennial reign over the earth in the First Century…

    The Kingdom of Christ in Revelation

    Imagine, if you can, that you live in the First Century AD. Rome is persecuting Christians. Idol and Emperor worship abounds. People all around use religion as license to gorge themselves on sex, food, and drink. Rome has built a culture of death. The Colosseum is an active place of entertaining bloodshed. Christians are being…

  • The Two Required Witnesses in Revelation

    The Two Required Witnesses in Revelation

    In the second interlude of his second vision, John has been asked to eat a little book—a testament of God. What was hidden in previous times, the full revelation of God, is being revealed, and John has been asked to prophesy concerning many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings (10:11). Revelation 11:1-14 Then there was given…

  • John Eats a Little Book

    John Eats a Little Book

    The sixth trumpet has sounded, symbolizing the final death and judgment of those who reject the testimony about Jesus Christ. Before the seventh trumpet is blasted, there is a second interlude. The first interlude (Chapter 7), John described the conquering work of Jesus Christ prior to His work of judgment. In this interlude, John describes…

  • Four Horsemen Revisited

    Four Horsemen Revisited

    After all those who will be sealed are sealed, demons are loosed to torment the reprobate. The first woe is past. John sees a sixth angel preparing to blast the next trumpet, which symbolizes both God’s wrath and deliverance through the proclamation of the Gospel. Revelation 9:13-21 Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard…

  • Loosed Locusts in Revelation

    Loosed Locusts in Revelation

    The trumpets are not blasted until all those who will be sealed are sealed (7:1-3). John’s trumpet imagery has so far alluded to Old Testament judgments on Egypt, Babylon, and Israel. John used the national symbol of Rome, an eagle, to declare three woes upon the earth with regard to the blasting of the final…

  • The Roman Eagle Over Jerusalem

    The Roman Eagle Over Jerusalem

    The trumpets represent God’s judgment according to His Law, the Torah. The nations will either be justified or justice will be carried out against them. With each symbolic trumpet blast, the wrath of God is unleashed against the nations. The work is perpetual, and will be finally revealed at the second-coming of Christ. The trumpets…

  • The Seven Trumpets in Revelation

    The Seven Trumpets in Revelation

    In Chapter 5, verse 1, we saw a book sealed so that no one could open it. We yearned to know the contents of the book. Finally, we get to see what is inside. In today’s passage, Jesus breaks the final seal, and the book falls open to reveal the judge’s just judgment in response…

  • The Great Tribulation According to John

    The Great Tribulation According to John

    You’ve probably heard about the great tribulation. Here we are, standing before the throne of God. As we have been waiting for Jesus to break all seven seals so the document He holds can be opened, we have seen the current condition of the world. In this interlude, we have seen that God waits to…

  • Who Are the 144,000 in Revelation?

    Who Are the 144,000 in Revelation?

    Last week, we started the first interlude in John’s second vision. In verses 1-3, we saw that God does not pour out His wrath until all of His chosen people are sealed, which happens at the moment of individual conversion to Christ as a result of His resurrection. God must know who will be sealed,…
