All Things New: A Study in RevelationSample

What does it say?
The Lamb breaks the first six seals, sending God’s judgment on the earth.
What does it mean?
The first four seal judgments (a conqueror, war, famine, and death) have increasingly tragic effects on the earth. Then the breaking of the fifth seal brings a vision of those killed for being faithful to Jesus. The sixth seal contains cosmic phenomena and worldwide disturbances, signaling that God’s final judgment has come. The leaders of the world hide in fear of the wrath of the Lamb, while the martyrs can rest until God’s judgment is complete by finding shelter under the altar that represents the Cross where the sacrificial blood of Christ paid for their sin.
How should I respond?
The idea of judgment can be frightening or disconcerting, but the reality is that God will judge. The question is: How will God judge you? If you have accepted Christ as your Savior, then His sacrificial blood covers the judgment for your sin. As a follower of Christ, you do not need to fear His coming because you already know the outcome. Will you be found frightened or faithful at the coming of the Lord? Are you content to be safe in Christ while people you pass every day still face God’s wrath? Allow this passage to overwhelm you with gratitude for the Cross and motivate you to tell someone about Jesus’ sacrifice today.

About this Plan

Exiled on the island of Patmos, John wrote the book of Revelation to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. The book opens with encouragement and warnings for the seven churches and is followed by a series of end-times visions. Revelation’s powerful imagery assures believers of Jesus’ coming return, His triumph over all His enemies, and the establishment of His kingdom that will know no end.
