Rev. Chapters 6 and 7

STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Chapter 6

This is how I study each of these chapters...

STOP
Read Chap 6 Remember that the Book of Revelation is the ‘Unveiling of Jesus Christ” or the “Revealing of Jesus Christ."

Note any words I do not fully understand.

List any titles for Jesus. What do they represent?

LOOK! Read the chapter again.
How is this chapter “the unveiling of Jesus Christ?”

Look up/study any words or concepts I do not understand.

Lets begin to look at all the judgments upon the earth. The seals, bowls and trumpet judgments give me a summary of the Tribulation.

The Seven Seal Judgments
First seal 6:1-2
Second seal 6:3-4
Third seal 6:5-6
Forth seal 6:7-8
Fifth seal 6;9-11
Sixth 6: 12-17

The seventh seal is not opened right away. Go to 8:1-5 to see the opening of the Seventh seal. The seventh seal opening is really the beginning of the next judgments.

LISTEN!
What is God teaching us in this chapter?

What if this information had been left out of Scripture?

How can we use this information in our lives today here in Knoxville?

STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Chapter 7


Right after the sixth seal is opened the topic changes…the seventh seal will have to wait till Chapter 8

STOP!
Chapter 7 Remember that the Book of Revelation is the ‘Unveiling of Jesus Christ” or the “Revealing of Jesus Christ


Read the chapter. List any titles for Jesus.

How is this chapter ‘the unveiling of Jesus Christ?’

LOOK! Read it again.

Why would God single out the 12 tribes? I often wonder what the day-to-day Jew thinks when he/she reads this chapter? Note the names….two tribes are ‘left out” – yes technically there are #14” sons of Jacob…what do I mean by that? Why were two tribes left out?

Again, God is focusing on the people of Israel. The 12 tribes must be important to God….I should study them more!

What does “sealed” mean? Why?

LISTEN!
What is God trying to teach us?

What if this information had been left out of Scripture?

How can we use this information in our lives today?

7:17 reminds me of the Gospel of John. Jesus is called the Good Shepherd, and says to the woman at the well that He is the water of life.
