Sense of taste is a fascinating sense
Salty
Sweet
Sour
Bitter
People like all kinds of foods that combine those tastes
Coffee with cream and sugar
Trail mix
Sweet & sour sauce
We use those tastes metaphorically
Napoleon Dynamite
“Sweet!”
Someone is “salty”
Provocative
Earthy or crude
If someone has “soured” on something or someone
Their feelings or thoughts have changed negatively
Bible refers to sense of taste in those ways
Mk 9:50
Jb 20:12-14
Evil described as being “sweet in the mouth”
But “souring” in the stomach
What is sweet
Re 10:1-11
What is Sweet
Is How God works
in us, with us, through us, and around us
We see five ways God is working in us:
1.
He Shows Us He’s in Charge
Vv.1-2
Another angel
Not Jesus
More like angel in Re 5:2
Comes down from heaven
Clothed with elements created by God
Rainbow
Face like sun
Pillars of fire
Right foot on sea, left foot on land
Authority of angel spreads across entire surface of earth
Authority granted to him from God Himself
God’s authority has not changed
He is still over all of heaven and earth
Issue
Whether or not we submit or rebel against that authority
How much do you submit to His authority?
Are there still areas in your life where you still call the shots?
If there are, then that is an area of rebellion against God’s authority
2.
He Shows Us He’s Powerful
Angel cries out and seven thunders sound off
V.3
Ps 29:3-9 “3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars, Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!””
seven voices of YHWH
above the waters--thunders in power in splendor
breaks the cedars
flashes flames of fire
shakes the wilderness
makes the deer give birth
and strips the woodlands bare
How has God demonstrated His power before You recently?
As He answers prayer
As He reveals His will
As He changes people’s minds and hearts
3.
He Shows Us He’s Personal
John’s instruction
V.4
Do not write down what the thunders say
Why not?
For John’s ears only
A message specifically for John
God has been personal with people
With Moses
Ex 33:12
With Cyrus
Is 45:1-3
With us
Is 49:15-16
Has God been personal with you recently?
If not
It’s not because He isn’t available to you
It’s because you don’t want to
Yet God’s invitation is still open for you today
Mal 3:7 “7 Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them.
Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts.
“But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’”
Return to Me, and I will return to you
4.
He Reminds Us He’s Prompt
Vv.6-7
There will be no further delay
It’s going to get done now
Was God late?
No
He is never late
He’s just never in a hurry
