The Wrath of the Lamb
Revelation 6:9-17
The fact is you cannot talk about the love of God. The love of God has no meaning whatsoever unless you understand the judgment of God that all of us deserve. -Robert Jeffress
Last week we began going through the 7 seal judgements of God, the unveiling of God’s battle plan and the riders of the 4 horses. We got through the first four seals which we read were announced by the four living creatures. This week we get the next two seal judgements and then a break in judgments found in Revelation 6:9-17
The Passage
When he opened 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 brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. Revelation 6:9-17
When he opened the sixth seal, 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 as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
The List:
- There are souls of martyrs under the altar in heaven
- The fifth seal releases intercession in heaven crying out for justice through those that have been martyred
- He gives white robes to those that have been martyred
- He is sovereign
- He is holy and true
- The shedding of blood for His sake stirs up his heart
- God allows and knows how many are going to be killed for the witness of the gospel
- There is a tipping point of the number of saints he will allow to be martyred
- He uses earthquakes as a means of judgment
- He will darken the sun
- He will cause the moon to be blood red
- He will cause stars (also translated asteroids) to fall from the sky
- He causes the sky to roll up like a scroll
- He will cause mountains and Islands to be removed from their place
- His judgements will strike fear into the hearts of leaders and people of influence in all streams of society
- His judgments are so great that unbelievers will cry out for death to come upon them
- His judgements seem unbearable to unbelievers
