Balancing Ministry N' Work

1.      The First Six Seals a.       The antichrist rises to power. b.      War breaks out. c.       Famine like has never been seen. d.      Death takes 25% of the world’s population. e.       We saw those who had been martyred up to that point of the Great Tribulation. f.       Then the earthquakes hit, sun turned black, moon looked like blood, stars falling, sky split, and mountains and islands are moved. 2.      Six Seals and then a new vision is given to John. a.       Like He has done throughout history, God protects the Nation of Israel.                                                     i.      He protected Noah, He protected them during the plagues in Egypt, and He will protect them in the end.                                                   ii.      A remnant of 144,000 will make it through the Great Tribulation. b.      Then there is this vast multitude, from every nation, tribe, people, and language.                                                

1.      Last Week a.       The Fifth Seal with those being martyred asking Jesus how much longer will those on earth have to suffer, and Jesus telling them a ‘little while longer’. b.      The Sixth Seal released violent earthquakes, sun turning black, the moon looked like blood, stars fall out of the sky, sky was split apart, and mountains and islands are moved.                                                     i.      Cataclysmic events impact the earth and everyone in it.                                                   ii.      Those that were left were begging to die as all hope was gone.                                                 iii.      They did not want to stand before Jesus. c.       Ended with ‘Who is able to stand’?                                                     i.      No one can stand before God on their own strength.                                                   ii.      Being good will not make it happen.
