The Seals

Last week, we finished up a two-chapter section between “The Church Age” and what most call “The Tribulation Period.” We looked at “The One Who is Able” to: 1) take the scroll from the Father’s hand; and, 2) open the seals. A key feature over the last two weeks that we shouldn’t miss is that the Father and the Son are God, and everyone and everything will worship Them! Today, we begin the largest section of the Book of Revelation. Chapters 6-19 describe the Tribulation Period. This section contains some of the most debated sections of Scripture. Remember, we will Major on the Majors and Minor on the Minors. Our message is from Revelation 6:1-17 and is titled: “The Seals” Our points will be: The First Four Seals The Fifth Seal The Sixth Seal Main Scripture: Revelation 6:1-17 Supporting Texts: Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:6, Lamentations 5:9-10, Ezekiel 14:21, Matthew 24:14, Psalm 139:16, Leviticus 18:22, Proverbs 16:18, Matthew 5:28, Revelation 21:8, Romans 12:19, Revelation 21:1-2Luke 21:11, Amos 9:3, Nahum 1:6, Hebrews 10:26, Hebrews 10:31 Diving Deeper.
