The Trumpets Judgments (2)                                          -The believers’ mission

Revelation 10-11

Key vs. 10:11 “Then I was told, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.’”

 

  1. Read vs. 10:1-7  How does God encourage the believers who go through the tribulation (woes)?  Describe his appearance and characters (1,3)  How does he announce the fulfillment of God’s plan? (6,7) 

 

  1. Read vs. 8-11.  What does it mean by ‘take it and eat it.’?  Why is it that the little scroll tastes as sweet as honey in his mouth, but turns his stomach sour? (10)  What do you think of the contents of the little scroll?  Why must he prophesy? (11)

 

  1. Read vs. 11:1-6.  What do ‘the temple of God and the altar’ symbolize? (1, 7:3) Why is it that he is told to measure them? What does it mean that the Gentiles will trample on the holy city for 42 months? (2, 13:5, Da7:25, Lk21:24)  In the midst of persecution, how does God empower his believers, and demonstrate his power and protection? (5,6, Ex7:17, 1King17:1) 

 

  1. Read vs. 7-14. What would happen to the believers when they have accomplished their mission? (7,13:6-7)  How will God bring them to life and lift them to heaven? (11,12, 14:14-16,1Thes4:17)  How would God judge the world? (13)  How would the believers be comforted and strengthened by this hope?

 

  1. Read vs. 15-19.  What does the seventh trumpet announce? (15)  What do the believers anticipate when Christ reigns? (18)  What does John see in heavenly scene? (19)  How would such heavenly scene comfort the believers who go through the tribulation?
