Title: THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
1THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down
from Heaven
2THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
- In our previous studies we have discovered
- 1. The first six TRUMPETS may represent 4
major world events in the Last Days Generations. - 2. I believe that 3 of the major world events
have already occurred, with the 4th one yet to
come. I believe that the Trumpets are blowing in
our day! (See previous messages on Chapters 8
9) -
- 3. The SEVENTH TRUMPET signals the very last
days and particularly - the hour of the
rapture. Rev 107 and I Corinthians 1551 make
this extremely clear. - Rev. 107 But in the days when the seventh angel
is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God
will be accomplished - 1 Corinthians 1551-52
- 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery We will not all
sleep, but we will all be changed-- - 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the
dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be
changed.
3THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
Before we read the text this morning CONSIDER
THIS 1. The first 6 Trumpets end with Chapter
9. 2. The 7th Trumpet doesnt blow until Chapter
1115. 3. Between the end of Chapter 9 and Chap.
1115 - there is much material! (Chapter 10 and
much of Chapter 11 with some very important
information!) 4. This means that some very
important things are going to be revealed BEFORE
the 7th trumpet blows. 5. At least these two must
happen 6th Trumpet (4th event). The
anti-christ appearance and attack (Chap. 117)
READ CHAPTER
10
4THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
THREE FOCAL POINTS THIS MORNING
(Next week we will look at some more details of
this chapter!) 1. THE MIGHTY ANGEL who is
he, why is he significant? 2. THE LITTLE SCROLL
what is this little scroll why is it
significant? 3. WHAT DOES ANY OF
THIS HAVE TO DO WITH US?
5THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
- I. THE MIGHTY ANGEL
- READ Revelation 101-6 again and notice
the description - 1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down
from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a
rainbow above his head his face was like the
sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. - 2 He was holding a little scroll, which lay open
in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea
and his left foot on the land, - 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a
lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven
thunders spoke. - 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about
to write but I heard a voice from heaven say,
"Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do
not write it down." - 5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea
and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. - 6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and
ever, who created the heavens and all that is in
them, the earth and all that is in it, and the
sea and all that is in it, and said, "There will
be no more delay!
6THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
-
- COMPARE TO THE MIGHTY ANGEL
OF DANIEL! - Dan 105-8
- 5 I looked up and there before me was a man
dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold
around his waist. - 6 His body was like chrysolite, his face like
lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his
arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze,
and his voice like the sound of a multitude. - Dan 127-10
- 7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the
waters of the river, lifted his right hand and
his left hand toward heaven, and I HEARD HIM
SWEAR BY HIM WHO LIVES FOREVER, saying, "It will
be for a time, times and half a time. When the
power of the holy people has been finally broken,
all these things will be completed." - 8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked,
"My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?" - 9 He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the
words are closed up and sealed until the time of
the end. - (THE SAME ANGEL?) The ONLY two places in the
Bible where an angelic being Swears by Him who
lives for ever are here in Revelation and
Daniel!
7THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
In the book of Daniel this same angel
(between Chaps. 10-12) 1. Speaks of the end
times. 2. Speaks and warns of an
anti-christ. 3. Speaks of the anti-christ
persecuting Gods people. 4. But..speaks of how
Gods people will overcome and be raptured or
delivered in the days of this persecution. It
is my strong belief that this Mighty Angel of
Revelation 10 and 11 speaks of the very same
thingsbetween the 6th and 7th Trumpet! Indicating
AGAINthat the trumpets come BEFORE the rapture
- the early Christians would have KNOWN THIS!
They KNEW DANIEL!
8THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
II. The LITTLE SCROLL
THE FOCAL
POINT OF THE CHAPTER!
9THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
II. The LITTLE SCROLL
SOME CLUES TO INTERPRETING see
if you can figure out what the little scroll
is! 1. LITTLE Scroll NOT the 7 sealed scroll of
chapter 5! 2. OPEN in his hand needed no
unveiling of seals, etcit was open to all who
cared to read and hear it. 3. One foot on SEA -
and the other on the LAND this scroll was open
and available to the whole world! 4. Take the
scroll and EAT it SWEET to taste SOUR in
stomach (The same as Ezekiel 28 33. The early
Christians would have known this too!)
10THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
Ezek 28-9 8 But you, son of man, listen to what
I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious
house open your mouth and eat what I give
you." 9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched
out to me. In it was a scroll, Ezek 31-3 1 And
he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before
you, eat this scroll then go and speak to the
house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and he
gave me the scroll to eat. 3 Then he said to me,
"Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and
fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it
tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. ------------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
---------------- EAT IT let it become a part of
who you are! Not only speak it, but live
it TASTED SWEET AS HONEY it is always sweet to
be obedient in speaking what God has told you to
speak and living what God has told you to
live! SOUR IN YOUR STOMACH (Rev. 109) It is
always a bitter heartache to preach, speak and
share what God has commanded you and to have it
rejected by many. It is the same heartache to
live what God has commanded and to be persecuted
by others simply for living for Jesus.
11THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
THE LITTLE SCROLL IN THE HAND OF THE ANGEL OF
REVELATION is none other than the Word of God
and the Gospel of Jesus! We are to preach it,
teach it and live it - especially in these
TRUMPET DAYSlike never before! It is
bitter/sweet to do but we are COMMANDED to do
it! LISTEN TO WHAT GOD TOLD
EZEKIEL ABOUT HIS SCROLL! Ezek 317-21 17 "Son
of man, I have made you a watchman for the house
of Israel so hear the word I speak and give them
warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked man,
'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or
speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in
order to save his life, that wicked man will die
for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for
his blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked man
and he does not turn from his wickedness or from
his evil ways, he will die for his sin but you
will have saved yourself. 20 "Again, when a
righteous man turns from his righteousness and
does evil, and I put a stumbling block before
him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he
will die for his sin. The righteous things he did
will not be remembered, and I will hold you
accountable for his blood. 21 But if you do warn
the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin,
he will surely live because he took warning, and
you will have saved yourself."
