The Seventh seal, the first four trumpets, and why we should love the wrath of God (8:1-13)
A deep discussion about the glory and purpose of the wrath and justice of God, and how we must come to terms with it or risk dishonoring God. A study surveying the opening salvos of the fierce judgement of God on Israel for breaking covenant, and the plentiful Old Testament conditions and promises that necessitated that judgement come.

Reading Letter to the kids from Randy Kucera
2:27
Seeing who Jesus actually is can take a while to get used to.
5:55
God has called us to study to show ourselves approved. Eternal life is knowing God--not knowing wrong things about God, but knowing the truth about God.
7:42
Question #1: Is Revelation future because Israel has never occupied the full extent of the land? No.
8:08
Question #2: What is the story with the battle of Armageddon?
13:41
The justice of God can seem incredibly harsh, but the wrath and justice of God are praiseworthy. Something good, not bad. Worthy of approval.
16:25
What you see in Revelation is the wrath of God expelling unrighteousness and evil. 7 Literal churches are being persecuted, praying for deliverance, and God's answer is the Book of Revelation.
18:16
Vengeance is God's, He will repay. God never lets anybody off the hook for anything. Ever.
20:39
2 Thessalonians 1:6, Isa. 61:8 -- God considers His wrath righteous, good, Holy, and just.
26:04
Revelation 8:1-13 -- apocalyptic language everywhere, and they mostly describe predicted judgements coming on Israel for breaking their covenant with God. Much of what plays out in these chapters are the covenant curses promised in Deuteronomy.
31:11
The Judgement of Israel is all over the book. (Rev. 17:6, 18:20)
43:05
The 7 trumpets and vials relate to the plagues of Egypt. The intention of God in the plagues of Egypt wasn't to create repentance, but to make His power and glory known (Exo. 10:1-2).
44:01
The vials, bowls, and trumpets are God bringing the plagues of Egypt down on Jerusalem like He said He would in Deut. 28. These plagues were direct affronts to specific Egyptian Gods to show God as the only true God.
47:14
The intent of God in these judgements are to establish His kingdom and glorify Himself.
53:05
Takeaway from the book #1: The purpose of God's judgements in this book is to bring glory to God so His people rejoice in Him over it. (Rev 11:13, 15:4, 19:1-2)
53:41
A look at the History of the sacking of Jerusalem.
57:10
The prophets linked the blowing of trumpets to a future day of judgement. (Joel 2:1, Zephaniah 1:14-16, Hebrews 12:18-24)
59:20
Silence in Heaven for half an hour, this mirrors the temple Liturgy. Revelation follows Temple liturgy in a way. The trimming of the lamps (Rev 1-3), slaying of the lamb (rev 5:6), pouring the blood at the base of the altar (rev 6:9), offering incense during time of silence and prayer (rev 8), burnt offering and drink offering (rev 16:1), sounding of the trumpets (rev 8:6), singing of psalms (rev 19:1-8).
1:06:37
The incense means the prayers have been heard, and will be answered. (ps 141:2, rev 5:8, exo 19:16-18, Psalm 18:6-14)
1:08:25
Revelation 8:10-11 -- Wormwood was mentioned in the Old Testament as being a means by which judgement was made (Numbers 5:11-31). Jerusalem was administered this test of infidelity, and failed.
1:12:49
Takeaway: What goes up must come down. Prayers go up, answers come down.
