Revelation 10:1-11
Stephen Caswell © 2004
Introduction
Two weeks ago we saw the final 3 trumpets which culminated with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
The outline of the Book of Revelation is contained within the framework of the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls.
These judgments cover a period of 7 Years.
In between these, John gives us further details concerning Jesus Christ, His saints, the Anti-Christ and the world.
These events take place while the seal, bowl and trumpet judgments unfold.
Today’s passage gives us more information about /the One/ /Who is worthy to take the Scroll and open it; the One who is worthy to take possession of the kingdom./
/Chapter 5 asked that question.
/The answer is the */Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son/*.
Today, we will see 2 things, */The Son’s Presentation,/* and*/ The Servant’s Proclamation./*
*Luke 19:11-15, 27: */Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.
Therefore He said: A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, do business till I come.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, we will not have this man to reign over us.
And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
/*Verse* *27: */But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.
/This parable refers to Jesus Christ.
1.
The Son’s Presentation
Many times in the Old Testament we find that God appeared to man.
A */Theophany/* or */Christophony./*
At these times He was usually called the */Angel of the Lord./*
To be exact it was the Lord Jesus Christ who appeared to mankind.
*John 1:18: */No one has seen God at any time.
The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
*The Word of* *God reveals Jesus the Son of God.*/ Christ appeared to Abraham as a man in Genesis chapter 18; here Abraham calls Him Lord.
He appeared to Joshua as the Captain of the Lord’s hosts in Joshua chapter 5.
He appeared to Samson’s parents as the Angel of the Lord whose name is Wonderful in Judges chapter 13.
I believe that Revelation chapter 10 is yet another appearance of the */Angel of the Lord.
/*
/a.
His Person/
*Revelation 10:1:* /I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud.
And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire./
*/He is clothed with a cloud/*/.
/This cloud is a glory cloud or what scholars call the /Shekinah Glory./
When the Lord appeared to Moses, it was in a cloud of glory.
When Jesus Christ ascended back to heaven from the Mount of Olives a cloud received Him.
*Revelation 1:7* and *Matthew 24:30* both say that Christ will return with the clouds of heaven.
He will return with great power and glory.
This cloud speaks of glory, radiance and majesty.
*/A rainbow was on his head.
/*We first saw an emerald rainbow around the throne of God in *Revelation 4:3;* now it sits like a crown on the head of this messenger.
He has received divine authority from God Himself to execute judgment upon the earth.
Yet in judgment, the */Angel of the Lord/* remembers His covenants with mankind.
The Lord promised Noah He would never again destroy the world with a flood.
He is merciful.
*/His face was like the sun/*/.
/Surely such brightness speaks of holiness.
The Scripture tells us that God is light.
When Jesus Christ appeared to Paul on the Damascus Road he shone brighter than the midday sun.
Paul was blinded by Christ’s glory and radiance in *Acts 9:3-5.*
In *Revelation 1:16:* Christ’s appearance is like the sun shinning in its strength.
*/Feet like pillars of fire/*/.
/Daniel and John both saw visions of Christ.
They record that His feet are like fine brass refined in a furnace.
Fire and bronze both speak of judgment; whilst the mention of his */feet/* refers to Christ crushing His enemies underfoot.
Christ will tread the winepress of the wrath of Almighty God.
*Revelation 19:15* God said to His Son, /sit at My righthand while I make your enemies your footstool./
*Psalm 110:1*
/b.
His Position/
* *
*Revelation 10:2:* /He had a little book open in his hand.
And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,/
This Mighty Angel descends from heaven with great glory and stands upon the land and the sea.
*/Why?/*
He is claiming the whole world.
He owns both land and sea.
The angel’s posture is that of a conqueror taking possession of his territory.
Of course, only the victorious Savior could make such a claim.
The Antichrist will soon complete his conquest and force the whole world to submit to his control.
But before that happens, Christ claims the inheritance that His Father promised Him.
When Israel was about to conquer the land of Canaan, God told Joshua they would possess any ground that they placed their feet upon.
Jesus Christ places His feet upon the land and the sea and claims possession of it all.
The King of Kings says to Satan and his Anti-Christ it belongs to me.
/c.
His Power/
*Revelation 10:3-4: */and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars.
When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them./
Because His voice is loud everyone on the earth will hear His Words.
When Christ spoke 7 thunders were heard through out the world.
His voice has authority.
This message is important but God is keeping it secret for now.
He speaks to the nations of the world with divine power.
The Lion is the King of the beasts.
Jesus Christ is the Lion of Judah; He’s King.
Satan roars like a lion to frighten his prey, but the Lion of Judah roars to announce victory.
He has every right to claim the Kingdom.
He earned it by conquering Satan and his opposing kingdom.
/One day soon, Christ’s voice will be heard and obeyed./
*Psalm 29:2-9: **/The voice of the Lord/*/ is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.
*The voice of the Lord* is powerful; *The voice of the Lord* is full of majesty.
*The voice of the Lord* breaks the cedars, Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
*The voice of the Lord* divides the flames of fire.
*The voice of the Lord* shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
*The voice of the Lord* makes the deer give birth, and strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, Glory! /
The Lion King
My children love the movie the */Lion King./*
