The Beginning of the End - Revelation 6

The Book is opened by the Lamb and the Seals are broken one by one.  The first four are well known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – so we will see them first.  Each one in turn unleashes the wickedness stored up and held back by God until this time.  We have seen some of each over the course of human history but now, in quick order, all of them released unrestrained.  The 5th Seal is a look at the Altar of God in Heaven where the souls of centuries of martyrs reside – all asking the same question: “How long O Lord?”

As God began the account of Creation with “Heaven and Earth” in Genesis so will He turn to world and stars for the 6th Seal.  Earthly and Cosmic signs to instill terror among men whose time for judgment has come.  In all of this we are reminded that the Lamb who was ‘slain’ for us reigns over all these judgments – nothing is out of His control!  Jesus is our Rock - our Redemption – our Refuge.  Join me Sunday as we witness the open of the first six Seals and what they mean to us today.  Satan’s only tools are results of the sin in Eden while the seemingly insignificant Lamb was slain before the foundation of the World!  Who do you think will win?
