revelation 9

Revelation 9 is the text for this sermon entitled, "The Seal of God on Their Foreheads."

This passage teaches that being “marked” means we are one of God’s people, and we are protected from Satan and a sinful lifestyle. The Old Testament background for this imagery is found in Ezekiel 9:3-6 where only those with God's mark on their foreheads were spared death.

Interpreting this mark as baptism means we are identified as God’s people, imprinted with His Holy Spirit, waiting for the day of redemption, a deposit guaranteeing what is to come, and a firm foundation of belonging to the Lord and turning away from wickedness. It means we have repented.

Is Revelation 9 the scariest chapter in the Bible? How did Charles Manson interpret it? How should we interpret Revelation 9 today? In this Podcast, we explore what Revelation 9 actually says and how to apply it to our lives today.

The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent Revelation 9:20

John MacArthur writes about this age: "There is a sense in which the present age is man’s day; he is free to do what he wants within certain limitations. It is also Satan’s day, during which the “god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) has been granted certain liberties within the parameters of God’s purposeful, sovereign tolerance. But God will not permit the present state of affairs to continue forever. He will end man’s day, overthrow the usurper Satan, destroy the present evil world system, and establish the earthly kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. That future time of judgment is known, appropriately, as the Day of the Lord. That day involves a complete renovation of the universe and the earth by judgment and restoration."

The following seals continue to bring judgement on man and yet, he doesn't relent and admit his errors. I'd like to say that I don't recognize that trait/stubbornness, but I see it when I look in the mirror. There's still a rebellious nature in me and I look forward to the day when my eyes are so focused on Him that I finally relinquish control!

Join me in reading Revelation 9 and be encouraged! 

Just a Guy and His World

Revelation 9 unpacked - demon locusts from hell, the King of the underworld, and 1/3 of the earth's population being destroyed. But what do the 5th and 6th trumpet judgments have to teach us here and now? How does this apply to the church that's alive on the earth today?

The Bible refers to the "devil and his angels."  And, Satan, the Devil, or Lucifer is referred to as being the King of the Bottomless Pit in Revelation 9.  Satan is the One who ascends out of the Bottomless Pit, first, in Revelation 11 to overcome and kill the Two Witnesses, and, second, is the One who deceives an unsaved world in Revelation 17.  He empowers the Beast or Antichrist.  

Key thought from this episode: Would you eat the little scroll... or, better yet, have you eaten the little scroll?
