What does all of this reveal to you about God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ? 3/6/2021 David Tye 5

Where we were last week Rev. 9: 18 -21 - Sixth trumpet A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads; and with them they do harm. 20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21 and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts. 3/6/2021 David Tye 6

Note that there is a parenthetical interlude between seals 6 and 7. Likewise there is now an interlude between trumpets 6 and 7; and we’ll see the same between the 6 th and 7 th bowls [though a short one]. God is giving us a chance to catch our breaths. 3/6/2021 David Tye 7

Third Major Section of Revelation: Ch 4 -22 (Benware, “Understanding End Times Prophecy”) Rev. 1: 19 "Write therefore things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall take place after these things. 3/6/2021 David Tye 8

Rev. 10: 1 -3 1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire; 2 and he had in his hand a little book which was open. And he placed his right foot on the sea and his left on the land; 3 and he cried out with a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the seven peals of thunder uttered their voices. 3/6/2021 David Tye 10

3/6/2021 God is sovereign David Tye 11

Rev 10 – The Little Book/“Prophesy Again” 1 And I saw another Leviticus 25: 23 'The land, moreover, shall not be strong angel coming sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you down out of heaven, are but aliens and sojourners with Me. clothed with a cloud; Job 37: 5 "God thunders with His voice wondrously, and the rainbow was Doing great things which we cannot comprehend. upon his head, and Jeremiah 25: 29 -31 "For behold, I am beginning to his face was like the work calamity in this city which is called by My sun, and his feet like name, and shall you be completely free from 2 pillars of fire; and he punishment? You will not be free from had in his hand a punishment; for I am summoning a sword little book which against all the inhabitants of the earth, " declares was open. And he the LORD of hosts. ' 30 "Therefore you shall placed his right foot prophesy against them all these words, and you on the sea and his shall say to them, 'The LORD will roar from on left on the land; 3 and high And utter His voice from His holy he cried out with a habitation; He will roar mightily against His fold. loud voice, as when a He will shout like those who tread the grapes, lion roars; and when Against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 'A he had cried out, the clamor has come to the end of the earth, Because seven peals of the LORD has a controversy with the nations. thunder uttered He is entering into judgment with all flesh; As their voices. for the wicked, He has given them to the sword, ' declares the LORD. " When does a lion roar? 3/6/2021 David Tye “another” – same kind as before Strong angel = - Christ (De. Haan, Ironside) - Not Christ (Mc. Gee, Walvoord. ) (Either way, you are in good company Not Christ: John did not fall down and worship Christ’s voice comes from heaven, vs. 4 The angel swore by God in heaven, vs. 6 - Appearance: Rainbow – God keeps His covenants Face like the sun – coming from the presence of Christ Feet like pillars of fire – judgment angel Little book – biblaridion It is open It is the title deed of the earth!! It is the Scroll of Redemption and contains the terms for redeeming and avenging 12

Rev. 10: 4 4 And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken, and do not write them. " 3/6/2021 David Tye 13

Rev 10 – The Little Book/“Prophesy Again” 4 And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken, and do not write them. " 3/6/2021 2 Cor. 12: 2 -4 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago… 4 was caught up into Paradise, and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. “seven peals of thunder” – God? “Seal up…” – Christ? Daniel 12: 9 He said, "Go your way, Daniel, Revelation 22: 10 And he said for these words are to me, "Do not seal up the concealed and sealed up words of the prophecy of this until the end time. book, for the time is near. Evidently this was a message for John only. David Tye 14

Rev. 10: 5 -7 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA AND THE THINGS IN IT, that there shall be delay no longer, 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets. 3/6/2021 David Tye 15

Daniel 12: 5 -9 Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river, and the other on that bank of the river. 6 And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be until the end of these wonders? " 7 And I heard the man dressed in linen [Gabriel], who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. 8 As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events? " 9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. 3/6/2021 David Tye 16

Rev 10 – The Little Book/“Prophesy Again” the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, 5 And WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA AND THE THINGS IN IT, that there shall be delay no longer, 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets. 3/6/2021 “Mystery of God is finished” – all prophesies come to fruition! Jeremiah 31: 34 "And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his Rev. 11: 15 And the seventh angel brother, saying, 'Know the sounded; and there arose loud voices in LORD, ' for they shall know heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the Me, from the least of them to world has become the kingdom the greatest of them, " declares the LORD, "for I will forgive of our Lord, and of His Christ; and their iniquity, and their sin I He will reign forever and ever. " will remember no more. " Col. 2: 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself, David Tye This seems to indicate that when the 7 th trumpet sounds we are at the conclusion of the Great Tribulation, and the mystery of God. He has a lot to reveal to us yet! 17

Rev. 10: 8 -11 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard again speaking with me, and saying, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land. " 9 And I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, "Take it, and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey. " 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand ate it, and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 And they said to me, "You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. " 3/6/2021 David Tye 21

Rev 10 – The Little Book/“Prophesy Again” 8 And the voice which I heard Jeremiah 15: 16 Thy words were found and from heaven, I heard again I ate them, And Thy words became for me a speaking with me, and saying, joy and the delight of my heart; For I have "Go, take the book which is been called by Thy name, O LORD God of open in the hand of the angel hosts. who stands on the sea and on the land. " 9 And I went to the angel, telling him to give me Ezekiel 2: 8 -3: 3 "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be the little book. And he said to me, "Take it, and eat it; and it rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving will make your stomach you. " 9 Then I looked, behold, a hand was bitter, but in your mouth it extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it. will be sweet as honey. " 10 When He spread it out before me, it was 10 And I took the little book out written on the front and back; and written of the angel's hand ate it, on it were lamentations, mourning and it was in my mouth sweet woe. 3: 1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat as honey; and when I had what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak eaten it, my stomach was to the house of Israel. " 2 So I opened my made bitter. mouth, and He fed me this scroll. 3 And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach, and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you. " Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. 3/6/2021 David Tye Eating the little book has a typical meaning, to receive the Word of God with faith. God always warns of judgment, e. g. , Genesis 18: 16 -17 Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. 17 The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, Bitter – the Word to unbelievers John 3: 18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Sweet – the Word to Believers Psalm 119: 103 How sweet are Thy words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth 22

11 And they said to me, "You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. " 3/6/2021 David Tye 23

Let’s put Revelation in contemporary context The Jews in Israel include native-born citizens of almost every country in the world, including the United States of America. Half the UN General Assembly applauded Ahmadinejad’s 2012 rant against Israel. The UN recently unanimously voted against Israel. Mahmoud Abbas, president of Palestine, refuses to recognize Israel. King David knew why three thousand years ago. The same reason applies today: “Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. ” [Psalms 69: 7] For Palestine to accept Israel would be to deny the Koran. For Israel to yield up Jerusalem would be to deny the Scriptures. Much of the world denies the existence of God openly; they are blind to the battle. If God isn’t real, the battle isn’t real either. 3/6/2021 David Tye 24

All who are alive on earth All who are being saved on earth All on earth who will never repent and be saved None of the above Note: Phrase occurs 9 times in the Book of Revelation 3/6/2021 David Tye 44

Side track: One of the keys to Revelation… The phrase those who dwell upon the earth takes on a soteriological-eschatological meaning in the book of Revelation for it denotes the unsaved at the time of the end who steadfastly continue in their rejection of God, in contrast to the faithful who are aliens and sojourners upon the earth. These that dwell upon the earth are trusting in man and his environment. They are the spiritual offspring of the humanists of our day. Believers are not among these earth dwellers, for the earth dwellers ultimately hate believers: John 15: 19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. ” 3/6/2021 David Tye 45

Encouragement… • Study the scriptures • There is no better entrée into all of Scripture than the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ • Mc. Gee said, “all you need to understand Revelation is a thorough understanding of the first 65 books of the bible. ” • I firmly believe the converse is also true. http: //www. mbctysons. org/pages/page. asp? page_id=98066 3/6/2021 David Tye 53
