UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD
THE BOOK OF REVELATION - PART 15
By John S. Torell

March 10, 2002

CHAPTER TEN:
Verse 1: When God created the angels, he created them to be powerful and with the ability to take on whatever size is needed for the task which is set before them - Judges 13:1-21 Satan and his fallen angels have lost their majestic power and have been reduced to a shadow of what they once were. Colossians 2:14-15

Verse 2-3: These verses tell us that God is going to announce to the spiritual world, loud and clear what He is going to do, and that there is nothing that the Devil and his fallen angels can do about it.  Luke 9:1-2; 10:1-3; 17-22

Verse 4: What the seven thunders said is not given to men to know at this time, but in due time it shall be revealed. Compare this with Daniel 12:1-13

Verses 5- 6: At this time period the angel of the Lord is declaring that there is no more time for Satan and his world system. It’s over, and now shall come terrible judgments followed by the final judgment and the banishment to the Lake of Fire. The believers in Christ should take great consolation in our God - Hebrews 6:13-20

Verse 7: What is the mystery of God? The death and resurrection of the Son of God, and salvation through his blood sacrifice. Amos 3:7-8; Acts 3:12-21; Romans 11: 25-28; 1 Corinthians 2:6-10; Colossians 1:26-29

Verses 8-11: Every believer in Christ is a messenger or ambassador for God - 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

The Gospel is indeed sweet in our mouth, but when we have to preach judgment and accountability it becomes bitter in our belly, as most people will reject it. Ezekiel 2:1-10;Jeremiah 1:4-10

God has called us to be faithful to Him and proclaim truth, regardless if people want to hear it or not!  Matthew 5:1-16
