Revelation

INTRODUCTION:

            As we enter the Scriptures this morning I will admit that this chapter is not an easy chapter, but I am going to do my best to explain it to you.  If you read many commentators, you can find almost as many interpretations and opinions on this chapter as there are commentators.  But like we learned in Sunday School this morning, the commentators are not inspired like the Words of the Bible and so we will use God’s Word to try and make sense of God’s Word.

            Last Sunday we watched as the seventh and final seal on the scroll was broken, the scroll which Jesus Christ, the only worthy One, had taken from the hand of God the Father.  As the Lord Jesus Christ broke that final seal and the scroll unrolled, all heaven grew silent for about half an hour.  This silence was the result of the reality of the judgment and destruction that was seen written on the scroll, heaven falls silent as they wait, and they fall silent in awe of what God is about to do.  This silence was like the lull before the storm.

            The question has been raised by many students of the Bible, will there be people saved after the rapture of the church?  Will people be saved during the Tribulation period?  Last week we already answered that question when John saw the souls of those martyred for their faith in Christ under the altar in heaven.
