Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Thank you.

Why was I open Revelation 8 and 9 will look a little bit at 10 and 11 as well.

Does a sermon outline in your service.

Sheets meet follow along.

I'm going to pray before we get into it.

Thank you for your word.

Thank you that you brought this Vision to John, to bring to the seven churches and just as it was vital for them and their time, it is vital for us to help us to understand what these strange images.

I mean, for us today, as we seek to live for you in this age before your son, Jesus returns, real this in Jesus name, I'm in

My eyes open, I am in bed, not quite dark enough to be the middle of the night.

So I rollover check the clock to see what the damage is.

It is 6:50 and my alarm is going off at 6:30.

I don't have many things, I don't know what I'm going to wear yet.

I don't know what the traffic's like I don't know what sort of day my kids.

I have I have 15 minutes until my alarm goes off and I need to make a choice.

I have 15 minutes where I could I could get off early.

I could get ready.

I could take those 15 minutes and have a substandard 15-minute snooze until the properly the time and wake up time and deal with the consequences for that light off.

And I 6:30 is coming, and I need to make a choice.

Half of the people that John was writing to in Revelation, they were faced with a lot of things.

A lot of uncertainty.

They were living on the persecution from the Jews from the Romans from the emperor, domitian this self-proclaimed God ruler of the Roman Empire.

They would dealing with false teaching within the church and I'm faithful Witnesses.

They are leaving nearly 60 years after the time when Jesus rose back to life and has gone back to heaven, and they are still awaiting, the day of his return.

That would have been much for them.

That is unknown much, that is uncertain.

but in this Vision that John receive God wants to make certain to them, once them to know, one thing for sure, in this time of uncertainty, God, Day of Victory is coming.

That is such and that is definite.

It isn't here yet but it is coming very soon.

As I got two, people are faced with a choice to make.

So I know the day is coming, then I was getting closer, they have a choice to make.

Now last week in our Series in Revelation we saw the lamb Jesus, open the Seven Seals.

This was a picture of Jesus accomplishing God's will for the well is playing with Injustice war and that's people from every nation in the midst of that are sealed by God.

I will see a picture of a great multitude.

Getting praise to their great, God and savior.

Today the vision shifts and seven, angels prepare to sounds that trumpets, not as we move through these middle chapters of Revelation, it's important to remember that these pictures.

They don't telling a chronological night.

If it's not for us to get the Seven Seals and then you get the seven trumpets and then you get the 7 next things to come.

These are images of them together like a threat, it is past present, and future colliding together, in one big picture of what God's kingdom is like now.

And in the past in the future to come.

Now trumpets bring to mind.

A lot of things are a cold to wake up a call to action, a call to get ready, but he is more than anything else.

They are a call.

Take a little guy, haven't played 17 years to me, this brings to mind back in the Old Testament when God's people under the command of Joshua marching around Jericho blowing, their trumpets, one after the other fees trumpets being blind.

And then, on the 7th Day, 7, Trumpets, the walls of Jericho.

Yeah, this is God's Victory lap and it smelled the walls of Jericho falling.

It is going to Kingdom emerging Victorious.

God's Day of Victory is coming, but it is not until all seven trumpets alone.

So, as this Victory Day, unfolded is comfortable.

And we see a reflection of the world that we live in.

We see the past, the present, and the future, and the first for trumpet, we say this pitch off of creation unraveling, this is what these Victory crumpets are announcing that it is an undoing of God's good work that we first read about in the Bible in Genesis when God created all that we say.

So from 6 to 12, we see these companies announcing, this is Seven Trees and grass.

I found out by Ayo & Fire, mix their blood ate a third of the oceans and the things in the oceans are destroyed by huge mountain on 5 and thrown into the verse 10 through 11, episode of the rivers and the Springs.

I made bitter because of a full and stuff.

And then invest 12 a third of the sun, moon, and stars ass truck.

The side of them, I doc.

In the beginning, God created the land and sea Waters and the lights in the sky.

And now in Revelation, we see a third of those progressively.

I struck down.

Why the sudden I wanted to say some more a bit must not all of what I think it's so that we understand there's something very important I think if you lose a third of something you've lost enough to notice it, but potentially you still have enough left to keep on going with some difficulty or Saturday?

Imagine you have three scoops of ice cream and you lose one.

You don't have it anymore.

If you had a Jamba and you lost a set of your slave, you just be a little bit colder than you would be otherwise if I lost a third of my bike, which I wrote on my way to church this morning, I would never lose a wheel or the seat.

Dial comfortable ride either way if I said of creation is struck a third of that goodness of creation is lost, it's going to be it's going to be noticed.

It is decidedly not as good as it should be or could be.

And this is the world that we live in weiner creation is an all that it could be, this would have rung.

So, true for the people in John's time.

I think when he wrote about that Vision, he's over by Mountain on fire by being thrown into the sea.

For the people back in there, would have been thinking about Mount Vesuvius, erupting and a whole island being destroyed.

It's in the back of my mind creation for them, the world, as I knew it was unraveling, it was not as it should be.

And we know this to We see the way I'll weld is broken.

We see the natural disasters, that occurred, the floods, the fire, the pandemic, it's not right, we know that it's not right, we know there is some good in the world, but we also know things aren't the way they should be.

God's Day of Victory is coming and it is a day that is desperately needed for those in a creation that is unraveling Before the 5th trumpets.

Are we have this interlude from a naval investigative team.

As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in mid, a call out in a loud voice.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

To the inhabitants of the Earth because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels.

as bad as these initial images saying the company, the first four trumpets, The vision test.

That's nothing.

The next few trumpets are a warning glass of things to come as well as they's.

In a sense of God's Victory to come in chapter 9. We see the fifth trumpet is blind and invest when we see a star full to the F1 small, but this opens the abyss and sends forth Locust with this task.

As from best for, they were told not to harm the grass of the Earth or any plant or tree.

But only those people who did not have the Seal of God on that full heads.

They are not allowed to kill them, but I need to talk to them for five months and the agonies I suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.

During those days, people will seek death but will not find it, they will long to die but death will elude them.

Those who are not sealed by God.

Those were not counted.

Among the multitude who we saw.

Praising God's name they faced torment.

They say suffering.

they will long to Dime, and I will long for that pain to end but it will not This is a picture of Hell, the certain judgment coming for those who are not followers of Jesus.

God's Victory is coming and we've that comes hell for those who have not turned to Jesus, for those who have not washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

This is only the first while the second is Yet to Come, As we go further on in 19:13, the sixth Angel, sounded his trumpet.

And I had a voice coming from the full Hollens of the golden altar.

At that is before God.

It said to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet release, the Four Angels, who are bound at the great river, Euphrates and the full Angels, who have been kept ready for.

This is Ariella and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

Death is coming.

That is already here.

It's a part of a reality, but on the final day when judgment comes to the world, there will be no escaping it.
