The Book of Revelation
Chapter 6
I. The World Is ________________________________ - vv. 1-8
- Romans 8.20–21 — For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
- Romans 5.12 — Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned--
- Lamentations 3.31-33 - For the Lord will not cast off forever, but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not afflict from his heart or grieve the children of men.
II. God’s People ______________________________ - vv. 9-11
- 1 Peter 1.6–7 — In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
III. God Will Remake the ________________________ - vv. 12-17
- Mark 13.24-26 - “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Takeaway: Lament, and long for God’s new creation.
- If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
