       This will be the worst time in earth’s history ever, nothing ever has there been as bad, and nothing ever will be as bad as this. However, one might say, “Well, what about the flood? It killed almost everybody.” Yeah, the Flood of Noah was bad, but that involved a quick, easy death for the people of the world. Such is not the case here; far, far from it. Go ahead and strap yourselves in and turn to Revelation 6. It is here where we are going to spend our time today. This is the passage on the Seal Judgments, the first round of judgments against unbelievers living on the world at the end times. We join the Book of Revelation here in the midst of the Apostle John’s vision of the future, or his visitation to the future, as he became the world’s first time-traveler. Yes, God sent him into the future; time-travel is possible by the way. The Shuttle astronauts used to do it for instance. Anyway, we find ourselves here still in the beginning parts of John’s vision of earthly end times events.

       Now, before we dive into the Seal Judgments for today, I want us to consider something that the Lord Jesus Christ told us in Matthew 24. This passage in Matthew 24 is a great overview of end times events, things found in the Book of the Revelation. Let’s go to verse 21 in this passage. Here, we find one of the most startling verses in the whole New Testament, or even the whole Bible for that matter. Consider this carefully. Jesus stated: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short” (Matthew 24:21, 22, ESV). That was an incredible and shocking statement that Jesus made. This will be the worst time in earth’s history ever, nothing ever has there been as bad, and nothing ever will be as bad as this.

Peace to Live By: The 3 Distinct Areas of Judgments (TMF:1293) - Daniel Litton

       Those of us who are familiar with our Bibles know that the Book of the Revelation written by the Apostle John outlines three distinct areas of God’s judgment. These are the Seal, Trumpet, and Bowl judgments, and they cover quite a lot of area within John’s book of Revelation. It’s important and good for us to go over these things, as these are events that are actually going to happen in the future. This is where the future of the earth is headed. This is where human history is going, and nothing can change that. God always does what he says he’s going to do, and that no matter what anybody says. He’s demonstrated that in the past, as he has spoken things before they have happened, and then he has done them. Examples of this include things like judgments on the Nation of Israel, in the Old Testament, Christ’s coming to the earth as an infant, Christ’s crucifixion on the cross and rising from the dead, and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., just to name a few of the main things God has prophesied and done.

       The Book of the Revelation outlines three different areas of God’s judgment that is to come upon the world, and these things are set to happen before Jesus Christ’s return to the earth at the Battle of Armageddon. At this battle, Jesus fully descends to the earth, defeats his enemies (those who are left), and then sets up his earthly kingdom, primarily for the Nation of Israel. God fulfills his promise to the Jewish people, that of establishing an earthly kingdom, as he promised King David in 2 Samuel 7. But our focus over the next several weeks is going to be what happens in the seven years right before this kingdom is established. This is the final period of time in our current world setup, the setup we are in today. The period we are in right now ends at the Battle of Armageddon, and a new order then comes into play. Nonetheless, it should be noted that once the Rapture of the Church happens, the Church Age ends, and God, in shifting his focus back to the Nation of Israel, shifts from a God of grace to a God of judgment.

God Wants People to be at Peace (TMF:1291)

Peace to Live By: God Wants People to be at Peace (TMF:1291) - Daniel Litton

       God wants people to be at peace, to have joy, to be happy. Now, that's very counter to our society because our society says that obtaining things or people—whatever it be—that's what our society says will make you happy. But that's not true. The truth of the matter is what will truly fulfill your life is being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, knowing that your sins are forgiven, and that you are now in right standing with God in a personal relationship with Him. God isn't just wanting to save you from Hell—though that is very important—God wants to be part of your life. There is nothing to lose, at all, by knowing God. All there is, by knowing God, is gain. So, if you believe that you would like to have a personal relationship with God today, then follow my lead in this simple prayer: God, I have sinned against you throughout my life. But today, I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that on the third day He rose from the dead, and forgives me of everything wrong that I have ever done so that I might have a new life. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
