Revelation 10:1-11 - "The Lion of Judah Roars"

How many people through the years have asked why God allows sin to run wild, why God allows sinners to prosper and succeed, why God allows Satan and his demons to deceive and to destroy. If God is there and He is holy, why doesn’t He stop all the chaos and corruption? If God loves His people, why does He allow them to suffer?When will God destroy the wicked? When will God halt Satan’s enterprise? When will Jesus come and restore all things back to himself? When will the righteous be avenged and the wicked punished? To put it in the words of the prophet, “How long, O Lord, how long?”These are age-old questions asked since the very beginning. The people have rejected God, rejected His authority, rejected His word, rejected His Son, the gospel of salvation, forgiveness. They will not recognize Him as their Creator. They do not want Him as their Lord. They will not abandon their sin, nor will they repent and seek the Lord. All the pain and all the horror and all the disease, the destruction, the lies, the deceptions of the world; they are accumulating and getting worse. When will God break His silence and speak? The Lord who is faithful to His promises will come when the mystery of His silence will be broken; and that day is connected to the seventh trumpet.At the sounding of the seventh trumpet, His silence will end, and Christ will come. His kingdom will be established on earth. Satan will be halted, bound in chains, and delivered to a prison; and with him, the demons of hell and those who have rejected His gift of salvation. Righteousness will rule, knowledge will fill the earth, Christ will be King, and God will speak. But before that seventh trumpet is blown, an interlude takes place, and that interlude is chapter 10. John sees a mighty angel (a messenger). From His description we conclude that it is the Lord Jesus Himself and He's claiming possession of the land and sea. The little book He holds is open, it is the title deed to the universe. As John tries to grasp what is being revealed to him. When the seven thunders had uttered their voices, John is trying to write what he hears, and is told not to. Before the blowing of the last trumpet, more judgments come, but when the last trumpet sounds, there will be no more delay. Jesus is Coming!
