Introduction

PARENTHETICAL:

A story within a story that gives you more insight into the overall picture being presented.

The Seventh Seal and the Beginning of the Trumpets

THE OPENING OF THE SEVENTH SEAL (8:1) 8:1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

With the opening of the seventh seal the narrative is resumed from the close of chapter 6.

The seventh seal is obviously the most important development up to this point.

This is because all the subsequent developments leading to the second coming of Christ, including the seven trumpets and the seven bowls, are contained in the seventh seal.

Let’s Get Started:

The topic this morning is entitled

The Eighth Angel of Revelation Eight

(Show Slide)

Revelation 8:3 NKJV

3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

(Show Slide)

Even though this eighth angel is not identified, some experts believe he is Jesus.

He could be Jesus, but he is probably just another powerful angel.

We do know this angel holds a special position of service before the golden altar of God.

This golden censer* is similar to the one used in the Old Testament Jewish temple.

It contained charcoal that was burned under a layer of incense.

When the hot charcoal warmed the layer of incense, a sweet fragrance was produced.

This fragrance or aroma may be that of the spice frankincense*,

one of the gifts the wise men gave to the baby Jesus.

Frankincense was also one of the spices burned* in the censer at the Jewish temple. Its fragrance reminds God of his Son, who came and died for the sins* of the world.

The eighth angel will come with a golden censer

and stand before the altar of God.

He will be given a great quantity of incense to mix with the prayers* of the saints.

Then he will place the censer on the golden altar before the throne of God.

Now God has

No Other Choice

Revelation 8:4 NKJV

4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.

Revelation 8:3 told us that the eighth angel will be given the prayers of all the saints.

We may never know what all those requests may be,

but Revelation 6:10 identifies one of them as a prayer of the Tribulation Saints:

Rev/ 6:10 - “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” (NKJV).

Judgment is not God’s first choice, but patience is.

He is patient and will hold off his judgment longer than any man. (our parents wasn’t patient) (We sometimes not patient in our Marriages)

Nevertheless, when all options fail, his judgment will fall.

The angel will take the censer containing the hot incense and the prayers of the saints,

and wave it around, causing the smoke to drift toward the throne of God.

The almighty God will smell the incense, hear the prayers, and prepare an answer*.

Answered Prayers

Revelation 8:5 NKJV

5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

When the incense and all the prayers of the saints have been consumed in the censer,

the angel will take the empty censer, go back to the altar, fill it with fire, and hurl it down on the earth.

The prayers will go up to God, and the answers will come down to earth.

God will avenge the death of the Tribulation Saints with fiery trials on earth.

Try to visualize this great scene. The Antichrist and False Prophet will rise to power, leading the inhabitants of the earth to worship Satan,

while, at the same time, God’s people will be hunted down, persecuted, and killed.

These martyred saints will arrive in heaven praying to be avenged.

At first, they will be told to wait until the number of saved is increased,

but then, after a brief time, God will hear their prayers and respond by having his angel hurl the burning censer (possibly in the form of a meteor) to earth.

This will be a clear statement of God’s wrath. It will be followed by loud thunderclaps, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The earnest prayers of God’s hurting people

will finally reach into his wrath and cause a response that will be felt by the whole earth*.

Futurist Gordon-Michael Scallion - editor of Earth Changes Report, has been suggesting for months that a frightening global killer earthquake pattern is emerging. He is predicting that a series of magnitude 10.0 quakes will rip up America’s West Coast in the next few years.2

The 4 Views of The Book of Revelation:

The Preterist View: Says that all of the content in the Book of Revelation has been fulfilled in the past.

The Historical View: Says that the events of the Book of Revelation is a continuing unfolding producer of history. It doesn’t view the book as prophetic document.

The Historical Spiritualist View: The Beast out of the sea and the Beast out of the earth are both Imperial & Provincial Rome. The book of Revelation serves to encourage the church. It has already been fulfilled and holds spiritual lessons.

The Futurist View: The book of Revelation is for the most part prophetic & over time it has become historic.
