Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Play Tone promise, blessing?

Blessed are you?

If you read it, if you hear it, and if you keep it.

What are also remind you of our method as we're studying it?

It's the literal historical grammatical method, meaning if it makes sense, in a literal sense, don't seek another sensor.

You will have nonsense.

It's the keep it simple method where my case is to keep it simple, stupid method.

The lens with which we are methodically stunning.

This book aside from that.

It's the only book that comes with its own Divine outline, right there.

For the things that you have seen those that are and those that are to take place after this.

So the things which you have seen, that's the Risen Christ.

The Risen Jesus glorified chapter 1, verses 1 through 18, the things which are that's the present age.

The church age chapters 2 & 3 and if you miss those studies they're available on the website and go to Calvary Chapel Montesano.

You can click let him get caught up and we have chapters four through 20 to the things, which will be after this, or after these things Greek word, meditata, again, you can listen to that, from chapter 4. Chapter 4 & 5, we saw the Rapture and the church in heaven.

Chapter 6, which is where we are today, is the beginning of the tribulation.

Tribulation is chapter six through 19 and there's a couple things we need to discuss as we get into this chapter 20, the millennial Kingdom, the white Throne judgment chapter 21, 22, new Heaven and a new Earth.

That's the outline that we are following some things that I want you to be aware of.

As we continue into these judgments that are going to be revealed in chapter 6, no notice.

It was the reveling shun.

It wasn't plural.

This is a single revelation of Jesus, to the Apostle.

John.

It's not a series of different or independent Revelations.

It's a single revelation.

We're going to see the whole series of judgments, and all of these judgments come in sets of 7. Right now.

We're looking at chapter 6, discusses the Seven Seals, but as you're going to find, if we go through these, you will get six out of the series.

And then they'll be a pause, a parenthesis, a break before the 7th is revealed.

And then at 7, that starts a new 7, right.

So once we get next week, we won't get to it today.

Hate to break it to you.

The seventh seal, will start the seven trumpets and then we'll have 6 trumpets menopause in a break and then we'll get to the seventh trumpet and I'll start a whole nother 7, that'll be weeks and weeks down the line.

Put something for you to consider.

There's always 6 then a pause and then the 7th.

John has some questions.

He doesn't understand everything that he's seeing.

And anytime John has a question whether explicitly, hey, I don't understand.

He'll ask, or sometimes.

He's just standing there with a dumb look on his face.

When it's an event that you carrying in heaven.

It's one of the elders to explain to him, what's going on.

If it is a bit that's occurring on the earth.

It's one of the four beasts that gives John his answer.

So if you get confused, just look at who is answering John and that will tell you where the locality is about event.

And that will help you keep it in focus.

And then the last thing I want you to be aware of is there's the contract and we're going to see this contrast grow more Stark as we get further into the tribulation.

That's a contrast between those that dwell on the earth or Earth dwellers and that those whose home is in heaven.

The Earth dwellers, their home is the earth.

They have made their home, the Earth.

They have identified themselves with the Earth in the world system, but don't you don't dwell on the earth have made their home in heaven, right?

We don't dwell on the earth as in Earth dwellers.

We reside where sojourners were pilgrims were passing through but our home is actually in heaven just have that in mind as we go through here.

Revelation chapter 6.

The first four seals are often called The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Some of you may have read books or seen movies where they talk about the four horsemen horses.

And the writers on them are displayed.

During the first four seals.

We covered that in the last few weeks, Pastor Jed did the first Horseman.

Rider on the White Horse.

Do not confuse that Rider on that white horse at the beginning of Revelation 6 with the writer on a white horse.

In Revelation 19 two different people entirely again, go back to check the message last week, Pastor Travis covered the next three seals.

That was the next Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the ride, around the red horse, the black horse, the sickly pale green horse.

Again, if you miss that, you can go back and listen online.

We keep in mind here during our divine outline.

The church is not here during the seal judgments because the church is it on the earth.

The church we see is in heaven, right?

After 4 and 5, with the Rapture, in the churches in heaven, the seal and the Judgment, the beginning of the tribulation happens in chapter 6, through 19, and we're going to get to a little bit more of that.

This morning.

So what's the point of a TextNow?

Revelation chapter 6 starting in verse 9.

When you open the fifth seal I saw under the altar, The Souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness.

They had borne.

They cried out with a loud voice o Sovereign Lord.

Holy and true how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth.

Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brother should be complete who are to be killed as they themselves had been.

When you open the 60, I looked, and behold there was a great earthquake and the sun became black as sackcloth.

The full moon became like blood and the stars of the sky fell to the Earth is the Fig Tree sheds, its winter fruit when shaken by a gale, the sky vanish like a scroll that is being rolled up every mountain and Island was removed from its place.

Then the kings of the Earth in the great ones and the generals in the rich and the powerful and everyone, slavin free hid themselves in caves in among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains in the Rocks, following us and hide us from the face of him who was Seated on the throne in from the Wrath of the lamb.

For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand So for my text this morning, we see the opening of the fifth seal.

Weeks past, we talked to Hell.

There are many different eschatology.

Studies of the end things.

L, many people try to say all know all this just happened.

John was just writing in reflection.

It all happened in 70 AD couldn't clearly be talking about anything that would have taken place in the future.

We have to ask myself.

What does the text say?

Remember, we're taking a grammatical historical literal view.

The Bible does speak metaphorically.

And when it speaks metaphorically, we understand it, seriously, but we don't think that Jesus literally has wings with feathers on them when he says, oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem.

How I longed to gather you under my wings, as a mother.

Hen does her chicks.

We take it.

Seriously when the Bible speaks in idioms and metaphors.

We understand them.

Seriously, when the Bible speaks literally, we understand it to being literal.

So there are some, who want to take a purely spiritual, understanding of the entirety of the Book of Revelation.

And there's a danger in that because once you start allegorizing and spiritualizing, Literal specific things.

There's no stopping point who draws that line if the Bible speaking clearly metaphorical here and it doesn't have a literal specific meaning then, where else might the Bible be speaking metaphorically.

Did Jesus?
