STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!
Study Rev. 10 and 11
STOP
I ask: Why no 7th trumpet until Rev. 11:15? The sixth trumpet sounded at the beginning of Rev. 6
Stop and read. Note any words that I do not understand. Mark verses with ‘because, for, and but.”
Note. I read today a commentary about Revelation that said….”Revelation should be called the 5th Gospel. Matt., Mark, Luke, and the Gospel of John all speak of the life, ministry and purpose of Jesus. Revelation is a continuation of that story…..it shows the outcome of each of the four other Gospels.” Hmmmm…a thought.
LOOK!
Read again. Ask/ answer questions.
Chapter 10 Some questions I ask:
Who is this one mentioned in 10:1+? Some think it is God, some think it is Gabriel.
10:7 what is the ‘mystery”?
Chapter 11
11:4 who are these two men? Why are they called “olive trees’ and “lamp stands” ?
11:8 Which city? Why called Sodom and Egypt”?
11:10 – how the people react to the deaths of these two men. No remorse… “because..”
11:13 which city?
11:15 are glorious words!!!! 11:16 “because….”
WOW! These verses have nothing but ‘bad news’ in them. It made me sad to read the terror and trauma that people will have to face. Do you think ‘the church’ will be on earth during this time (many think the rapture does not come until during or after the tribulation.)?
LISTEN!
If the book of Revelation is the “unveiling of Jesus Christ” how do these two chapters describe, or ‘unveil’ Him?
What is God trying to teach me in these chapters?
What if these two chapters had been left out of Scripture?
How do these two chapters impact my life today?
