In this talk, Pastor Mitch walks through Clarence Larkin's timeline through the book of Revelation. We look through where we have already been in this study and where we are going in the coming weeks.
2. A little bit of Background
Focus:SecondcomingofJesus Christ
andtheestablishment ofGod’s
Kingdomattheendoftime
Outline:
Chapter1-Thethingsyouhaveseen
Chapters2-3–TheThingswhichare
Chapters4-22–TheThingsto come
3. Chapters 6-11
These chapters go back and forth
between Heaven and Earth
They illustrate the struggle of the
church amidst persecution
The detail the judgment of God
against the enemies of the church
4. A pattern emerges
With each of the seven scenes that
John writes, there is a specific
pattern that they follow.
The first 4 scenes are revealed at
once to make 1 picture
The 5th and 6th scenes are revealed
together to make 1 picture
The 7th scene is a transition to the
next set of scenes
5. The Seven Trumpets
The next set of 7 judgments of God
The angels that hold these trumpets
stand before the throne of God
From other texts we gather that their
names are: Uriel, Raguel, Michael,
Sariel, Garbriel, Remiel, and Rapheal
8:4-5 One angel fills a censer with fire
from the altar and then begins to pour
it out on earth. This is the cue for the
angels to blow their trumpets
6. What can we learn?
What will it take for the world to
repent today?
Are you living a life of idolatry?
How can I lift up the name of Christ in
praise every day?
7. What is the purpose of
