PART 8 THE WRATH OF GOD REVELATION 9

TEXT- REVELATION 9:1-21

INTRODUCTION

WHEN WE LEFT OFF WITH CHAPTER EIGHT, WE FOUND IN VERSE 13 THAT AN EAGLE WAS FLYING IN MIDHEAVEN SAYING,," WOE, WOE, WOE-, TO THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH, BECAUSE OF THE REMAINING BLASTS OF THE TRUMPET OF THE THREE ANGELS WHO ARE ABOUT TO SOUND."

THESE NEXT THREE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS ARE COMMONLY CALLED THE "WOE TRUMPETS. "

THE WORD "WOE" IS A WORD WHICH SIGNIFIES THAT SEVERE JUDGMENT OR PUNISHMENT FROM GOD IS ABOUT TO OCCUR. IT ALSO SERVES AS A WARNING AND IS USED TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP AND THINK.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE THE MISTAKE IN SPIRITUALIZING THESE JUDGMENTS THAT ARE ABOUT TO BE POURED OUT UPON THIS SINFUL WORLD AND WATER THEM DOWN UNTIL THEY ARE NO MORE POWERFUL THAN A BEE STING.

THIS WE MUST NEVER DO.

GOD'S WRATH IS FIERCE AND HIS ANGER HAS BOILED TO THE POINT OF RELEASE.

HEBREWS 10:31 IT IS A TERRIFYING THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.

LET’S LOOK NOW AT SEVERAL MORE TRUMPETS TO BE SOUNDED AND THE WRATH THAT GOD POURS OUT.
