Revelation 9:1-12

This title is not swearing or vain threats as we hear this expression frequently used today. In Revelation 9, the place of eternal torment called hell literally breaks out upon the earth. We cannot imagine a time when darkness prevails more than the description in this prophecy. It will be a dark time to be alive unless you have God.

Revelation 8:13 with Acts 14 and Psalm 37

We left off right in the midst of the end of the world. This is a time of calamity and catastrophe like the world has never seen, but how should we live in light of this coming reality? What attitudes characterize the lost, and how should the saved view these events? For that we turn to Acts 14 and Psalm 37 to gain perspective on how we should live in the meantime.

Revelation 8:7-13

What does the word apocalypse mean? It comes from the greek word Ἀποκάλυψις which means to uncover. This word carries two ideas (1) revealing Christ, His second coming, making manifest the Sons of God and (2) the final judgment and the destruction of the world. Today we are looking at the point in time when the world falls apart. It is the end of the world in which Christ will be revealed and the world will be judged. We should give God glory in the earth because He is “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8).
