8-9: Woe to Those Who Dwell on the Earth
1. Revelation 8:1 assumes we remember the context of what is happening
in this revelation. Take a moment to remind yourself: what is going on? 2. What does Revelation 8:3-5 tell us about
“the prayers of the saints”? What do the prayers of the saints have to do
with the wrath and judgment of God? 3.
In your own words, what is happening in Revelation 8:6-13? 4. Something of what seems to be of
particular importance is being revealed in Revelation 9:1-11. “Abaddon” in
Hebrew means destruction and “Apollyon” in Greek means destroyer. What is
being described? 5. What should we
make of these trumpets being blown by angels in Revelation 8-9? What does
this tell us about God and his will concerning the earth and its inhabitants? 6. What is the point of Revelation 9:20-21?
What does repentance have to do with the terrible events John is witnessing
in this incredible vision? |
