Today’s poetic Sermon
is the last I will write from the sixth chapter of Revelation. It’s based on what happens when the Lamb of God tears off the 6th seal from the scroll. As you already know, the Apostle John was given the ability to have his spirit be in the throne room of Heaven. He witnessed Jesus as the slain Lamb take the scroll from the right hand of the One who sits on the throne. He saw the Lamb open the seals and heard God’s creatures declare the judgement with the word, "Come.” The tearing off of the first 4 seals brought in four horsemen who brought in false peace, famine, disease and war. The tearing of the 5th seal brought in massive martyrdom of people who believe that Jesus is King. And now we will see what happens when the slain Lamb of God tears the sixth seal. John says, “And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?” Revelation 6:12-17 The tearing of the sixth seal will be the sign that God is not a god to be played with. The land and sea will be affected. Everyone on earth will experience trembling and terror while the earth is being rejected. The earth will literally be thrown off its axis. It’s hard to imagine that there will be such astronomical changes, and yet, humans will still remain resistant to God. Knowing God is not about religion, it's about having an intimate relationship with Him.
