The big pause!  A mighty angel appears and brings a little scroll – this seeming contradiction is really to show emphasis!  This angel appears and then makes an astonishing announcement.  Then the symbolic acts of consuming the scroll becomes the biggest lesson for us in Revelation 10.  We will meet this angel and get to know a bit about the little book.  Why a smaller version of the great book opened by the Lamb/Lion?  Why does it taste sweet but upset the stomach?  Why is the metaphor of eating used rather than reading quietly or aloud?  So many questions!  I will try to answer as many as I can – this is a pivotal transition chapter – don’t miss this one!  I will also share some very current information for the Bible Engagement Center for Bible Engagement.  So very good and so very convicting!  I will add some suggestions about how to be active in God’s Word and how to stay active – please join us this Sunday for the Big Angel and the Little Book.

The final Trumpets – sixth and seventh!  We meet the 2 Witnesses and see the power of God in their testimony.  Then we watch as they are martyred – then gloated over – then raised!  What a story!  We will follow the scene of Heaven as the Temple of Heaven is briefly described have seen the images of the Tabernacle and Temple of Solomon.  So much in this account to absorb but the lessons are really pretty simple.  God’s Witnesses are examples of what we should be – fearless – careless – heedless – reckless!  Sunday I will cover all of these and we will see the power of God in the Lamb showered on the Earth.  In all of this judgment is love of God and hope in Christ – see you Sunday.
