Revelation Final Class: Our Prophetic Identity and Mission

Little review, we spent quite a bit of time the past few weeks going through Revelation chapter 10 and then last week in this class we covered Revelation chapter 11, the 2 witnesses and the word of God, the Old and New Testament, we talked about that, and we are going to wrap up chapter 11 with the seventh trumpet, seventh trumpet.

So, all right, I think we're getting settled.

Let's bow our heads for prayer and we'll get right into it.

Father in heaven, we thank you for waking us to this Sabbath day and for granting us this opportunity to study your word.

We know that there is much light yet to be discovered and that the books Daniel and Revelation, if we will study them, we will have an entirely new religious experience.

And today, as we look at the great controversy and some of the major players and major events, may you open our minds that we may understand and most importantly see our role in these last days of Earth's history.

We pray these things in Jesus name, Amen.

All right, as mentioned already we are concluding the 7 trumpets today.

We talked about the first 6 trumpets up till now.

First 4 trumpets essentially to summarize judgment on Western Rome or maybe I should take a step back.

Before we begin the 7 trumpets we see an angel interceding at the golden altar of incense And we see that he casts the censer down, which according to the Bible, it symbolizes a close of intercession.

Intercession is closely related to the incense, Christ merits, mingling with our prayers and so forth.

So the casting down of the censer means it's a close of probation of some sort.

But we know that based on the other things that we've studied that the time frame could not mean the close of the world's probation.

Western Rome, the first 4 trumpets, Eastern Rome, the fifth and sixth trumpet, and then the seventh trumpet is judgment on spiritual Rome.

And here is something that we need to attach to this review and that is in between the sixth and the seventh trumpet we have 2 entire chapters chapter 10 identified the advent movement the great disappointment predicted all of that The message that is to be preached, the 2300 days, the little book that was open, we went through that in detail.

Chapter 11, we see the net result, if you will, of the final culmination of what happens when you take the principles under which the papal power operates to its logical conclusion.

And the logical conclusion was the French Revolution.

And also the role that the Bible played and what happens when you negate the word when you cast it aside when you kill it crucify in the streets of Sodom and Egypt spiritually but what we have done essentially the fifth and sixth trumpet were time prophecies leading from the Middle Ages all the way up to 1840.

And then we take a step back and there's a almost a parenthetical statement, Revelation chapter 10.

And we see the little book open in 1798, the 2300 days being fulfilled in 1844, and the avid movement that will arise.

And then, in Revelation chapter 11, we see the same thing, the same period of history in a way.

The 1260 years in that chapter, it was 42 months in which the Word of God was being trampled underfoot.

And it was resurrected, ascended up to heaven, essentially at the end of the 1260.

And that also brings us up to 1798, right about the time of the early 1800s.

God has led us, step by step, to hone and focus our attention, to bring us by these parallel paths, different stories in history, different movements that are taking place, so that we will be absolutely sure when we come to the seventh trumpet exactly where we are in history.

Because what is about to happen is extremely important.

And it has to do with the 7 trumpets, or the first 6 trumpets, the Advent movement, Revelation chapter 10, and also what has happened at the final fruition of the principles of the papacy as we see in the French Revolution.

Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 is where we'll begin.

So I'm gonna look for a volunteer who will read for us verses 15 and 16.

And a seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever.

And the 4 and 20 elders which sat before God on their seats fell upon their faces and worshipped God saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art and west, west and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy great powers, and hast reigned.

So based on what we've looked at so far, what happens at the sounding of the seventh trumpet?

Now some of you may be thinking, But isn't Christ the King already?

And according to the prophecy of Daniel chapter 7, When is it that Christ receives his kingdom?

Daniel chapter 7, we will read verse 9 and 10.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down and the ancient of days did set, whose garment was as white as snow and the hair of his head like pure wool.

His throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him.

Thousands, thousands ministered unto him, and 10, 000 times 10, 000 stood before him.

The judgment was set and the books were opened.

I saw in the night vision and behold, 1 like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven and came to the Ancient of Days.

And there was given Him dominion and a glory and a kingdom that all people, nations, and languages should serve Him.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away.

And His kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed.

So, when is it that Christ receives his kingdom?

According to prophecy of Daniel chapter 7.

And this judgment, if I may throw in a colloquialism or Adventist lingo, is investigative judgment.

The judgment that takes place at the conclusion of the 2300 days.

You can, we can confirm this if we study Daniel chapter 8 again, but we've gone through that in this class previously but Here we see that the seventh trumpet is in essence the beginning of the investigative judgment now To make it abundantly clear let's go back to Revelation chapter 11, and let's have a volunteer read for us the last 2 verses, verses 18 and 19.

In the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament, and there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and an earthquake and great hail." Okay.

So verse 18 is pretty clear what is about to happen.

It says it's a time of judgment, that the dead should be judged.

And here pretty clearly we see that the judgment begins with those who have passed away already, begins with those who have fallen asleep first.

And just as a reminder, I don't want to spend too much time, but just referring you back to the 7 seals, you remember, 1 of the seals, there was a cry for judgment.

There were souls under the altar crying, how long before you avenge our blood?

And you remember when we studied the 7 seals, I believe Norman went through that, Prior to the fifth seal, the persecuting power that is slaying God's people is the papal power.

And in Daniel chapter 7, we see that the judgment comes after the fulfillment of the little horn, which is the papal power.

And in Daniel chapter 8, judgment comes after the little horn's second phase, after it's trampled the temple underfoot, or the sanctuary underfoot.

Until 2, 300 days then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.

We see that also in Revelation chapter 11.

For it to demonstrate what is the natural inescapable outcome.

If the world or a nation in the case of France were to be run under those guiding principles.

And jumping ahead a little bit, Revelation 13, who is it that gives the papal beast, the first beast of Revelation 13, who gives it his power?

And so in essence, what we have seen through the study of Daniel and Revelation, after we've come through all of this, now is the time to bring some synthesis, synthesize some of these concepts.

That is, God gave the papacy 1260 literal years, 42 months, 3 and a half years prophetically, whatever, however you want to slice it, to say, Satan, show us what you've got.

What will this world be like if we were to run it like you want to run it and the natural outcome was a French Revolution and so God says to the watching universe that thousands and thousands around him.
