The Sixth Seal pt 5
Fallen man has always preferred to deny the existence of God, hoping in vain, that they will somehow escape his wrath. But the cosmological disturbances, the darkened sun, blood-red moon and falling stars, have concentrated their minds and they are forced to recognise His throne and His wrath.
-
The Sixth Seal pt 4
I appreciate this all probably sounds rather gloomy and sober, but there is a day of reckoning coming upon the corrupt and the cruel, which will precede the heavenly righteousness of Christ’s kingdom that will be established on this earth.
-
The Sixth Seal pt 3
God has created the most magnificent of worlds for His children to dwell in. But yet, in His righteous anger, He will bring it all down upon those who refuse to accept His grace and mercy.

Sunday Review 14
Welcome to this Sunday Review. This past week I have been continuing with Revelation 6 and the fifth and sixth seal. I will carry on with this tomorrow, coming to its dramatic climax swiftly.
-
The Sixth Seal pt 2
The very end-times will feature a great number of earthquakes, as the earth and creation itself will groan in expectation of liberty. Some have associated this great earthquake with Zechariah 14:4.On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half the mountain moving south.
-
The Sixth Seal pt 1
There will be a series of cosmological disturbances just after the tribulation and just before Christ Jesus returns in power and glory. We can put aside the popular notion that the sky will be full of fluffy white clouds when Christ Jesus returns. This will be a dark day of judgement and vengeance. Every eye will be woken by these disturbances and then every eye will witness King Jesus returning in power and glory.
-
The Fifth Seal pt 4
Our initial verse tells us that there will be a wave of intense persecution focused on the Middle East, leading to martyrdom for countless Christians. This will need an immense level of trust between ourselves and our King. This will call us to step forward as lambs, enfolded by the love of Christ, surrendering ourselves to his eternal glory. The end-time persecution and martyrdom of the church will yield the greatest harvest of souls ever known.
-
The Fifth Seal pt 3
How long must the injustices of fallen man plague this earth. But in all things there is the perfect timing of God. No matter how impatient we become, and this is quite understandable, , we must surrender to God’s perfect timing, praying that the day will hasten, When the time is perfectly right, Christ Jesus will return, establishing his righteous kingdom on this earth.
-
The Fifth Seal pt 2
It breaks our heart when we consider the injustices of this world. Everywhere, the rich and the corrupt profit ruthlessly from the sufferings of the poor without respite. This stands in sharp contrast with the kingdom of righteousness of our Sovereign Lord that he will establish here on earth when he returns in power and glory.
-
The Fifth Seal
The fifth seal also brings a great word of encouragement. It is true that there will be a wave of persecution and martyrdom during this time as the antichrist fights in anger. But yet the martyrs will be brought under the altar, close to Jesus. They will be safe in his presence. He has been true to his promise.

Sunday Review 13
The week just gone by, I have been commenting on Revelation 6 and the infamous four horsemen of gloom and doom. I will carry on this week and cover the cosmological disturbances and the coming day of judgement. Please bear with, we will get to the joy of Revelation 7 soon!
-
The Fourth Horseman
The grim measure of these verses holds a toxic stench. Here lies the harvest of unrighteousness, the fruit of the sinful nature of fallen man
-
The Third Horseman part a
Yesterday’s post might have been discouraging as we learnt that the end-time beast would weaponise food supplies in order to conquer the souls of the populace. However, the Lord has promised to keep us through this time of tribulation. These will be lean times indeed but the Lord will always walk with us and care for our needs. We will always have the promise of plenty of food awaiting us in eternity.

The Third Horseman of Revelation 6
This morning we explore the rider on the black horse who carries the scales.The bitter fruit of warfare and persecution is inevitably hunger and famine.

Laodicea 10 Conclusion
This letter was relevant to John’s audience, and it has been relevant to every generation since. But this letter also holds out a tremendous encouragement to those facing the pressures of persecution, especially as the times of tribulation are approaching.
-
Laodicea 9
This delightful verse, well adopted by evangelists, shows the very heart of Jesus, who is overwhelmingly willing to come and fellowship with anyone who is prepared to open the door and allow Jesus into their lives.
-
Laodicea 8
One understanding then, of the subject verse above, is that Christ Jesus is calling to those who have turned away from the faith, calling them to repent earnestly and come back into fellowship with Christ and their fellow brothers and sisters.
-
Laodicea 7
One of the main purposes of the end-time tribulation will be to renew and restore Israel’s relationship with God. Christians have also known the disciplining ways of the Lord, it is part and parcel of walking with the Lord.
-
Laodicea 6
Some commentators hold a forward-looking approach, suggesting that the refining fire mentioned here is the coming end-time tribulation. Those who remain true and do not renounce their faith, will be refined and purified by this tribulation.
-
Laodicea 5
The implication here is that we Christians are often a mixture of righteousness and worldliness. However, the hardships of life – and we have no shortage of hardships at this moment – serve to purify our walk with Jesus if we approach them with the right attitude and if we allow them to draw us closer to Jesus.

-
Laodicea 4
Yesterday, we explored how we can wrongly assess ourselves and come to the conclusion we are doing quite well, especially if we compare ourselves with others, but when we compare ourselves with Christ then we begin to realise our inner poverty and reach to him for his golden riches.
-
Laodicea 3
Jesus really cuts to the chase with this comment. It is remarkably easy to judge and assess ourselves and come to the conclusion that we are spiritually doing quite well. We may be regular church attendees, pay our taxes and read our bibles and consider that we are making the grade.
-
Laodicea 2
In the mountainous regions of modern-day Turkey, the water source can arrive at two quite different temperatures. In some parts, the water can be heated by thermal springs and can be a luxuriously warm temperature. In other parts, the water can be cool spring mountain water. Both are delightful in their own way.
-
Laodicea 1
As with all the letters, Jesus begins with a description of himself. Jesus is the faithful and true witness who did not turn back and who did not deny his heavenly Father and the gospel that he was entrusted with. He resolutely walked to Gethsemane and suffered the cross for all mankind.
