    Revelation: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets | A Mighty Angel, A Tiny Scroll & The Old Prophet - Craig Hammond

    Cue the dramatic pause... It's the interlude between the sounding of the sixth and seventh trumpets. This short but intense chapter shifts focus back to earth... it's a last chance. "There will be no more delay," God says, referring to His long-foretold plan for judgement upon the earth. In a world of constant upheaval, we often need to be reminded that God's prophetic message is still true and can be trusted. He hasn't forgotten us and we can be reassured that someday God will fully bring about both His goodness and His justice to our world.

    Songs for the Journey: Like a Child | Psalm 131 - Gene Curtis

    One of the shortest chapters in the bible, Psalm 131 consists of just three verses. These verses, though, carry a profound message about contentment and quiet trust in God. Because we are human and God is, well, God... there are things about His reign over the earth that we will never understand. "I do not concern myself," David says, "with matters too great or awesome for me." Even as one of the great heroes of the faith whose relationship with God was true and deep, David knew he was never going to 'get' it all, and he trusted God enough to let that be ok.

    Revelation: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets | A Curvature of the Soul - Gene Curtis

    The fifth and sixth trumpets sound and introduce severe demonic plagues upon the earth. The intensity of God's final judgement increases sharply from damage to the physical environment to direct, agonizing torment and mass casualties inflicted upon rebellious humanity. Even though they actually witness these terrible events, the folks that remain still refuse to repent. Go back and reread chapter 8, verse 13 - "Woe, woe, woe to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets."

    Revelation: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets | The Quiet Before Chaos - Gene Curtis

    Where is God in the cosmic chaos? Prayers seem to go unheard, and worse, unanswered. Justice rains down on the earth (hence the chaos) because he absolutely hears the prayers of His people and acts on their behalf. Often times, His answer is “wait”. Do not let your faith be wounded by prayers that are not answered in the “right way “or at the “right time”. God hears all of our prayers and He will answer them in accordance with his grace.

    Revelation: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets | Protection of the Saints - Gene Curtis

    Revelation 7 is a 'time out' before the seventh seal and answers the question of 'who can stand' following the judgement of the whole world. God acknowledges those now in His presence, the saints who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb that are now serving and worshipping Him...dwelling with Him. Oh what a day that will be!

    Songs for the Journey: Do Not Fret | Craig Hammond

    The first command in Psalm 37 is "do not worry...". What follows are forty verses that encourage believers not to fret over the temporary success of the wicked, but to trust in God's justice. It is a wisdom poem attributed to King David that offers counsel on how to respond when evil people seem to prosper while the righteous suffer.

    Revelation: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets | Who Can Stand? - Mike Allison

    Someone recently commented that Revelation 6 is a "pretty dreary chapter". And while it does depict the unfolding chaos of the end times—war, famine, death—it also affirms Christ's sovereignty over history and promises justice for martyrs. It shows that even amidst catastrophic judgment, God is in control. This is very good news for believers and a terrifying prospect for those that resist him.

    Revelation: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets | The Furniture of the Mind - Gene Curtis

    We are beginning the next phase of our series in Revelation. Chapters 5 through 11 serve as a dramatic, loud, and universal celebration of Jesus' victory and authority. The text is filled with interesting and mind-bending images and accounts that begin to reveal things to come - heaven is initiating divine judgement - and it all starts with Jesus.
