Matthew 12:18 - 21

Matthew 24:3 - 14

Revelation 6, 7
Ephesians 1:13, 15

Rev 7:17
God will be with you no matter what happens.
Revelation 8:1

The victory of Christ is assured because He is greater and stronger.

6:5, 6
Economy in ruins
A picture of history rather than a snapshot?
Why does He allow these things? A contrast.
Only God can bring peace.
6:9
The martyrs valued faithfulness to God above anything in the world.
vs 10

Live like there's something worth dying for.

6:12

Chapter 7 - What John saw next. Not necessarily what happens next.
God's people
Sealed for their protection.
144000 Who?
All of God's people.
12x12x1000
More symbolic than statistical.
vs 9 The vast multitude.
vs 10 Worship.
Salvation belongs to God.
It wasn't due to their works.

An encouragement for the seven churches and for us. The Church is indestructible.

Romans 8:31 - 38
