Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

All right, let's go.

Last week, we started a new series on the second portion of the Book of Revelation.

We're doing chapters 4 through 22.

We did chapters 1 through 3 last fall and in the first two chapters.

Now, of this section, chapters, four and five.

What we saw was a picture of a throne scene.

And all creation is worshipping the The God Who is on the throne and well.

So let's kind of remember that story.

I wanted to show you a picture.

I showed you this picture, and it was one person sketch of of that described the scene.

So, in this picture, there's a throne and I'm the throne.

There's the letter F, which stands for God, the Father, And Then There are three little numbers circles 12in, tree that stands for the Three Gems that are mentioned to describe, kind of what this look like.

They've got somebody trying to put into words.

So one was a diamond.

Number two was Ruby.

Number three was an emerald, which referred to Rainbow that was around the throne.

And then down at the bottom of the picture, there was a sea of glass, that's those little circles and there was a seven there were seven lamp stands, which is pictured.

In this picture as one big lamp stand with seven candles coming up a picture of the Holy Spirit and then that little L off the throne stands, for the land who at one point seems to be off to the side but then later on comes up into the middle of the sea.

And then there's some other circle.

Circle number for are these four living creatures.

One.

Look like a lion one.

Look like an ox one.

Look like a human being one.

Look like an eagle.

And then around them, we're 24 Elders that Circle Number 5.

And then Circle.

Number 6, was described as Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand Angels and Circle Number 7 was All the creatures of the Earth.

And everybody's praising God, but then this is chapter 7, there's this moment where God produces in his hand, a scroll with seals on it and John the author of the book of Revelation is crying because these are obviously the plans of God and there's nobody who can open them.

Nobody can implement the plans of God and this is a disaster but then one of the 24 Elders says to him.

It's okay.

The lamp.

Is worthy to open the scroll.

And so the lamb comes up onto the throne in the lamb, takes into his arm, the the scroll and just that just the lamb who is worthy to open the scroll, taking the scroll into his hands, causes the whole scene to go into this huge praising of God until it finally dies down.

And then the question you're wondering is what's going to happen when the Lamb of God.

By the way, it's how Revelation off and likes to describe Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, what's going to happen when the lamb opens, the seals on that scroll and begins to implement these plans of God.

And that's where we are in our story today.

We are going to see what happens when the lamp eels.

Those seals open.

And I want to tell you that perhaps to your surprise.

You're going to find this very practical.

About the life you're living today and what?

It's got to say to you like last week, it's kind of a two-part thing, there's chapter 7 and what it says and I'm sorry this chapter 6 and what it says and then there's chapter 7 and what it says.

So we're going to read chapter 6, talk about it first and then we're going to reach after 7 and Amy Van.

Harten.

Where is she is our reader today?

Thanks, Amy.

All right.

Revelation chapter.

I watched as the lamb open, the first of the Seven Seals, then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, come I looked.

And there before me was a white horse is right or how the bow and he was given a crown and he rode out as a conqueror bent on Conquest.

When the lamb open, the second seal I heard the second living creature, say come, then another horse came out, a fiery red one.

It's rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other to him was given a large sort.

When the lamb open.

The third seal, I heard the third looking creature.

Say, come I looked and there before me was a black horse, it's rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying, 2 lb of wheat for a day's wages and 6 lb of barley for a day's.

Wait and do not damage the oil and the wine.

When the lamb open, the fourth seal.

I heard the voice of the fourth living creature.

Say come I looked and there before me was a Pale Horse its Rider with named death and Hades.

Was following close behind him.

They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword famine and plague.

And by the wild beasts of the earth, when you open the fifth seal I saw under the altar, The Souls of those who have been slain because of the word of God, and the testimony That they may had maintained, they called out in a line loud voice.

How long Sovereign.

Lord, holy and true until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood.

Then each of them was given a white robe and they were told to wait a little longer until the full number of their fellow servants.

Their brothers and sisters were killed just as they had been, I watched as he opened the sea seal, it was a great earthquake, the sun turned black likes, that cloth made of goat hair.

The whole moon turn blood red and the stars in the sky, fell to Earth as figs dropped from a fig tree, when shaken by a strong wind, the heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up and every mountain and Island was removed from its place.

Then the kings of the Earth, the princess, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else both slave and free hidden caves in among the rocks of the mountains, they call down the mountain to the mountains and the Rocks.

Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the Wrath of the lamb.

For the great day of their wrath is come and who can withstand it.

Thank you.

okay, so you wouldn't think That's very practical but I think it is.

So we just have to kind of have to try to put ourselves in the seats of the people who would have first heard these words from John.

So, one thing is that it's the lamb opens, these seals scenes start to happen.

So a good place to begin is to just identify.

What were those seems that we just heard?

Amy Reed?

So let's review, them seal number one.

So, I'm by the by Seal on thinking about Wax Seal wax will be dropped on this scroll to hold it closed and then a Signet ring and somebody's Signet ring has been pressed into that wax.

So it's kind of our version of a top-secret document.

It's got Seven Seals.

So when the first seal is peeled off, one of those four creatures says, come or come or if you're Amy, I'm sorry.

I was trying to find it.

James Wright, very pleasant in a White Horse appears, and the writer is holding a bow and has a crown.

He's a conqueror and he's riding out to do some concrete.

Then when the second seal is peeled off, the second creature says, come and a fiery red horse appears, this writer is given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other.

Just, by the way that sounds scary.

But it also sounds like the news we have, you know, we don't we live in a world where people seem to feel like they've got permission to KIPP.

There's a lack of peace and people are killing each other.

Every time you turn on the news, there's the latest story of some killing.

That's what happen happening.

And he has a large sword that I just find it.

This was originally written in Greek.

So the Greek word, we still use Mega.

He had a mega sword.

Then number 3 seals peeled off in the third creature of those for says come, and this one has a black horse and the rider has a scale.

I'm picturing a rope with a rod and then on both ends of that Rod up and hanging.

So it's just a simple scale that compares.
