Eschatology: Terms and Vocabulary

The Names of God

Introduction:

This morning we encounter another parenthetical passage

A story within a story between judgments.

We had one between the 6th and 7th seal,

This one comes between the 6th and 7th trumpet.

In the midst the wrath of God, they allow us to regain our focus,

Reminding us that God is in control.

The world desperately needs to see Jesus as the risen Lamb, Savior of the world, and King of kings.

Many admit His existence, but deny His excellence.

Muslims regard Jesus as simply a prophet.

Liberals view Him as a philosopher and example to follow, but He is much more than that.

I know Him as the risen Christ, Redeemer of my soul.

My title For this morning’s teaching is

A Mighty Angel

I. He Will Wear a Cloud

Revelation 10:1 NKJV

1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

John saw a mighty angel in Revelation 5:2. Now we read that he saw another mighty angel.

We do not know the identity of this angel, but we do know that he will have great authority.

He will be allowed to stand in the presence of God and will speak for God.

He will probably be an archangel who will come down from heaven wearing some unusual garments.

First, this mighty angel will be clothed in a cloud.

In the Bible, clouds have been associated with at least two things: the presence of God

and the return of Jesus.

God came down to Mount Sinai in a cloud* and led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud

Jesus ascended to heaven in a cloud* and will return in the clouds*.

This mighty angel’s clothing could be a reminder that he will be a messenger from God, or it could also be a reminder that Jesus will be returning soon. (Point Man)

Second, this mighty angel will either wear a “hat” that looks like a rainbow or he will have a rainbow circling his head.

The rainbow* is a reminder that God promised to never destroy the world with a flood again.

He even placed a rainbow around his throne* as a reminder. We can only speculate about the rainbow on the mighty angel’s head,

but it probably will symbolize that God is a God of grace,

a God who keeps his promises,

a God who will not let the world destroy itself, and a God whose Son is coming back.

Third, this mighty angel’s face will shine like the sun.

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, his face shone* from being in the presence of God.

When John saw Jesus on the Isle of Patmos*, Christ’s face shone like the sun.

The shekinah glory of God on this mighty angel’s face will indicate he has been in the presence of God.

Fourth, this mighty angel’s legs will be as pillars of fire.

When John saw Jesus on the Isle of Patmos, his feet were like fine brass— a symbol of judgment.

This angel’s fiery legs will represent God’s plan to take control of the earth through divine judgment.

David Hocking In the book of Revelation, angels are angels, not symbols of events, things, places, or persons.

John F. Walvoord The angel here also is said to come down from heaven, and there is no Scripture that indicates that Christ would return to the earth during the Great Tribulation prior to His second coming.

II. In the Name of My King

Revelation 10:2 NKJV

2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

The mighty angel will carry a small open book in his hand.

While he is holding it, he will plant his right foot on the sea and his left foot on dry land.

This is a symbolic gesture that has been played out in the movies many times.

The main character sails to some new island or far-off country. When he arrives he leaves his ship, gets into a rowboat, and his sailors row him to land.

Then he steps out of the rowboat onto dry land, and claims that island or country in the name of his ruler.

The same is true of this angel. He will have one foot on the sea and one foot on the land as he stakes a claim in the name of his King because the earth is the Lord’s*.

This could also be a direct message to the False Prophet, who will come up out of the earth (Revelation 13:11),

and the Antichrist, who will come up out of the sea (Revelation 13:1): The message here is: Do not harm the earth and sea. They belong to God.

Closing

A closer look at this mighty angel Reveals he is not the Lord Jesus Christ. He is considered a point man like John the Baptist paving the way for Jesus.

When studying the Book of Revelation you cannot have tunnel vision, you have to use your peripheral vision. Consider there are three timelines concurrently; One in heaven, one on earth, and one below the earth. - Dr. Doc Dewberry

Salvation

(Show Slide)

John 3:16 NKJV

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

As we bow our heads:

Repeat after me:

1. Lord I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that He died On the cross for my sins and His resurrection from the dead gives me eternal life. I asked forgiveness of my sins, and I Except Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In his name I Pray, amen.

Lady Pepper Please Join Me

Communion

I want to take a few moments to give you the opportunity to ask forgiveness of any sin in your life.

Let us pray over the elements (Cross Exposed) in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost

Read first Corinthians 11:23- 26 - (Taking the elements together)

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
